One of the common things clients tell us is their dog is terrible at the vet. The dog is “perfect” everywhere else but not there. My question back is usually “well what are you doing to prepare your dog for success at the vet?”. Are you working on touching and grabbing random areas, look at teeth and ears, accountability during the ride there and in the waiting room? What about leverage their obedience while in the exam room? Dogs can be successful at the vet but it’s up to us to set them up for success! Are you struggling with the vet? Let me know!

The holidays are coming in hot (and so are the in-laws, the doorbells, the road trips and the chaotic living rooms). Before we dive into all the training tips and how-to’s, we want to hear from YOU: 👉 What are you hoping your dog can do by the holidays? Maybe it’s: ✨ Not barking every time someone walks in ✨ Being able to settle around guests ✨ Handling travel like a champ ✨ Not stealing Christmas cookies off the counter ✨ Surviving the cousin’s toddlers 😅 ✨ Or simply being able to relax with the family Drop your goals in the comments. Big or small, we want to hear it so we can tailor our content towards your goals.

Hello, So I need a suggestion for a dog bed for Bella, well the dogs in general. Akira, last foster, chewed threw everything, even a K9 'buller proof' one. Bella chewed the soft bed. (Currently watching for a foreign body, again). Do you have a bed you use there. Also, I have am mpact crate, do you have a suggestion for something I can put in the bottom to deaden the noise for Bella? I'm afraid to try anything.

What does your DREAM DAY with your dog look like? We ask all our board & train clients this question to help us build a roadmap. Drop yours in the comments so we know what you’re working toward.

Hi everyone My name is Kristin. I work with a rescue for Belgium Malinois and they get all sorts of dogs at all levels of training. I'm here to learn how to better support the fosters I bring into my home. A little background on me. I was a veterinary technician for 34yrs. I spent 10 of those as a technician in the Army, where I worked with the military police canines, the Secret Service canines. They had 95% Malinois and I fell in love with the breed. The rest of that time i spent in emergency medicine and as a surgery technician, before I retired. When the chance to foster came up, I jumped at it. So that's me in a nutshell. I'm looking forward to learning as much as I possibly can here. Thanks
