Little Miss Gili is starting to gain more confidence around the stroller! Trainer Andre even let her have some sniffs of the doll to show her its not a big deal! We are trying to desensitize her as much as possible to what will be coming in her future!!

Cholula has had some reactivity around other dogs while at the park. Trainer Isaiah brought out Marko who keeps to himself to just run around and do his thing. Cholula did amazing and didn’t mind him at all! They ran through some of her basics and she was on her A game!!

Mr. Max came to us with a solid understanding of sit and down. His owner’s requested we teach him place and he’s catching on so quick! Here Trainer Jenna is doing quick reps to test his understanding and he is respecting all the boundaries she is setting!!

Garza has struggled with being a lot for other dogs. He brings an energy that some dogs don’t enjoy. While with us, he gets to play with Trainer Becca’s dog, Sushi. Who is super tolerable to all play styles while also teaching him some boundaries. Garza used to be so obsessed with another dog near by that he can’t focus on his handler. With some repetition, Garza is finally getting to a point where he can stay engaged with his trainer even off leash! He definitely still has a bunch of wiggles and is still working on his impulse control. But he’s making such strides!!!
