Spruce continues to experiment with variations of Place. Sorry, Buddy, that's not quite right, either. (at Traverse City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL-iM42j6kH/?igshid=m4x8ykwapze2

Zoey has been home almost a week now so it was time for a follow-up lesson. She still likes to hang out on her place cot and is listening much better to her owners. ♥️ (at Traverse City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL-bKQfjFf9/?igshid=115476ys59gxn

Doing some "doodling" in the driveway with Mona today. This helps her learn to follow where we are going and to watch for changes in direction. A neighbor walked by with their dog and this was a good test for Mona. She was previously overly excitable and reactive to the point of lunging at other dogs. She is just wearing a prong collar and only needed light directional guidance when she saw the other dog. I do have a remote around my neck but that was for Spruce from earlier. Mona's ecollar is still in the box. She has made a lot of good progress with just leash guidance and learning what Yes, No and Wrong mean. #goodgirlie (at Traverse City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL9vQlVjBXM/?igshid=iutgypnqzfx8

Also joining us today is Spruce. We first met him as a wee little puppy and now he is big enough to go off to college! His owners would like him to walk nicely on leash and greet people politely. We will also be addressing counter cruising, stealing items, jumping up and SQUIRRELS!!!! (at Traverse City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL5hzY8h4Dz/?igshid=1gmp068iu9ta7

As you might have noticed, Mona is a nervous girl. Walks with Mona have become unmanageable and her owners have tried everything they know how to do to improve the situation. Mona is afraid of people and is very reactive to other dogs and animals. She is here to learn how to be calm in the house, to walk politely in her neighborhood and out and about in public. She will also be off leash trained using remote collar so that she comes when called the first time, every time no matter where she is.

We enjoyed our time with Lucky helping him get into a better state of mind so he can make better choices. He gained confidence and self-control so he can use his golden super powers for good. Lucky now knows how to interact with other dogs but more importantly, he learned to just peacefully co-exist around other dogs in a polite manner. We will continue to work with Lucky at home to make sure he is a good family member and is a safe community member.

Whirlwind Zoey returned home calmer and more responsive to her owners. We will continue to work with her owners to make sure they are happy with the results of Zoey's training. (at Traverse City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLxRys3hTzg/?igshid=cy3g6ratg512

Don't believe everything you have been told about socializing your new puppy. Socializing is meant to prepare your puppy for the world they will live in as an adult and how you want them to behave in that world. If you don't want your adult dog to pull you down the sidewalk, saying "Hi!" to every dog and jumping up to demand treats and petting from strangers, stop letting them do so as a puppy. It really is that simple. (at Traverse City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLwUzu2hTti/?igshid=okzmqlpwjpys

Lucky is also going home tomorrow. We have worked with him so he understands that ALL THE THINGS do not belong just to him and that he should share the toys. (at Traverse City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLvLKV4h8G8/?igshid=x6mfzez3g10r

We are in the home stretch! Zoey goes home tomorrow and her family wants her to be able to be quietly contained behind a barrier sometimes. The boundary rope accomplishes this without unsightly baby gates or having to put the dog behind a door in another room. Zoey can see us moving around in the main part of the house but she is content in the hallway with a favorite bone.

Everybody gets a mini spa day before going home. Eyebrows are my nemesis but I think I am getting the hang of them. Zoey was very cooperative with her grooming and nail trim. (at Traverse City, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLu0mO-h2i4/?igshid=18ssv30tm8zm

Two doodle variations. Zoey in the front is a 50/50 lab poodle cross. Tavv in the back is a 25/75 lab poodle cross. More poodle seems to give a softer and curlier coat and the half and half crosses seem to have a scruffier look. We think both are adorable. ♥️ (at Beacon Bay Dog Training) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLu0WlYh0-M/?igshid=1tmfwuuicm4mx
