Another GSK9T graduate!!🎓
Yesterday Stella & her mom completed the Full Program at the Derry Dog Park! To clarify, we only work outside of the park in the parking lot😉 Stella did a wonderful job with leash manners, recall, confidence building & focusing on her mom around other dogs & people! Keep up the hard work!! 🐾🎓🐕‍🦺

Testimonial Tuesday!! 🐾

Love my job. Love my clients. Love working with pups.
How lucky am I?!

Summer is winding down, and the holiday season is fast approaching! 🏖️🎄

Now’s the perfect time to prepare your furry friend for those festive gatherings! Get ahead with my training programs and teach your dog how to greet guests politely, stop jumping, curb excessive barking, improve socialization, and master the basics like sit, down, and stay.

Socialization with True!

This was our first session out in public together and True did FANTASTIC.

True is a super excitable Bernedoodle puppy that LOVES people and dogs. He, much like a lot of other puppies, has a hard time controlling his excitement and his body when people/dogs are around.

Over the past few weeks we have worked on impulse control, calming his excitement, and a "place" command at home. Yesterday we put all that practice to the test during our first community session. With help from his mom, True was able to calmly exit the vehicle, observe people & dogs without reacting to them, calm his body and hold a "place" command and practice leash manners with minimal to no pulling!!

The progress this duo has made over the past 7 weeks is True(ly) 😉 amazing!!

Great job, Deb & True!! Keep up the great work!! 🐾

We are just one week away!! e

Toby & his mom are heading into the weekend practicing some leash manners!

It's going to be another beautiful weekend here in Southern NH! Get outside & work with your dog! ☀️🐾

Baxter the Bloodhound & his mom working on leash manners, socialization & nose work at !! They did such a great job working around distractions both indoors & out in the parking lot! Great job, Baxter!

DID YOU KNOW the 4th of July is the most common day for dogs to run away?

Keep your dogs safe this 4th by preparing with the following (especially if you know your dog is afraid of loud noises/fireworks):

🦴 Leading up to the 4th, practice desensitizing your pup to fireworks by playing fireworks on your TV at a low volume and pairing the sound with treats/play. Increase the volume with progress.
🦴Make sure your pup is wearing their dog tags & the information is current & legible
🦴 Talk to your vet about calming medications/explore natural calming medications
🦴Keep your dogs in a safe, familiar location, preferably indoors (crate/closed room/no-slip collar or harness)
🦴 Put your pup in a Thunder Shirt (you can get these on Amazon or at pet stores)
🦴 Play white noise/ calming music
🦴 Tire them out with play & mental stimulation before the fireworks to encourage them to sleep

I hope you find this information helpful!

Have a safe & happy 4th of July! 🎆🇺🇸🐾
