Tug’s Story
Watch a short video detailing how far our beloved Rottie “Tug” has come since we first got him to today, he is living proof! Tug has transformed from being an aggressive “orphan” to a cherished and loving member of our family.
Binks, like many a hound before him, would rather follow his nose or bathe in the sun than anything else! He and Trainer Ashley spent some time cleaning up his leash manners and recalls. His hound ways in the face of a distraction, whether Buttons the horse or the temptation of a warm sun patch, can make engagement difficult but Trainer Ashley is up for the task! She is patient and supportive while reinforcing the expectations that she has of him during this exercise. Binks is a smart, sweet boy and we are so proud of the progress he’s made already 😩😍

The dynamic duo! Rosie and Timmy spent time working on basics, leash manners and confidence building with Trainers Isaiah and Ashley. It is never too young to start basics with your puppy, they are so eager to learn and soak everything up like little sponges! Training from a young age will set your dog up for success and confidence in adulthood. Way to go Rosie and Timmy!

Yay!! I miss those babies! 😍
Lacey had an awesome day filled with training and fun! She made friends with Trainer Becca’s dog Sushi when they went on a pack walk and then worked on some duration together! Then they both enjoyed some cool down time in the pool (which Lacey had shown some fear of in the past!)! We are so glad to see this sweet girl blossoming!

Good job Allie.
