New dogs in the House
All dogs love to play with tug toys in the yard, it helps build good play skills
Pumpkin has learned to do an incredible Downstay and able to stay cute while doing so
one of the benefits of working at the kennel is you get to bring your dog to work, Buddha is learning so much by being around all of the dogs and improves every day.
since Pumpkin has seniority, she is in charge of having the backs of the new dogs. so Bowie, look straight ahead
On the first day of training Bowie fell right into training the PLACE command
One of the issues that Bowie came to us with is not the best greeting skills with other dogs, looks like things are coming along just fine
Emma and Otis who are staying with us on a Board and Play program. They both are such great greeters and players and make all of the new dogs so welcome

Clover helps out with the training of Brady in Wayland Square with some high level distraction training
Romy walks Brady around town in perfect heeling position....mmmm...Romy is 3 and Brady has been with us for about 10 days and had the nasty habit of biting and was not trained....so..my 3 year old can walk a out of control dog in public with high levels of distractions (cars, busses, bikes, people, dogs) I think you can to. If you can't you might want to pay attention to my training system.
After a bunch of dog training on the East Side of Providence, we stopped into Starbucks for training and that is why we train a rock solid down/stay.
As most of you know, we home school our kids...this year...our 14 year old Lucy wanted to go to high school,so she decided on The Met school...so teenage girl goes to an urban high school, drugs, gangs & sex and what does she come home with.
Remy loves his tire, he has a great time in the play yard with all of the dogs, he is ready to be adopted.
Max and Uma run on the beach yesterday. I love running dogs on the beach

The miners are coming home
I had to run to Chicago yesterday for the day, a quick 16 hour trip to a dog trade show, I was looking for some new companies that I can buy from in bulk with products that we use on our property. The best thing I found was a dog exerciser that we are going to get for our kennel and I will start selling them to my clients..it is an exercise wheel for dogs.
Lots and lots of photos from the last week that need to go up. All of our kennels are filled up and we are having so much fun with all of the training that the dogs are learning.
Jacoby went to a forever home this weekend. This is own of his new owners who is doing a great job of heeling him with my training system
Romy helping out with Soupy and Brady who are working on sit/stay and down/stay
Jacoby, Punkin and Brady all in a down/stay in the kids area
I did a live remote broadcast at the Gloria Gemma 5K road race this Saturday. It was wonderful to be part of this wonderful event.
Otis getting ready to settle down in the hole. He is with us for a week, one of the benefits for my current clients they can utilize my board and play for as little as 1 night

Pumpkin is Fresh
Pumpkin who arrived this week has been thrust into our training routine and getting over the first 24 hour jitters. It is so incredible to watch how dogs can adopt to new situation and my pack helps out dogs deal with so many issues, both nervousness and aggression.
Jacoby, Pumpkin and Brady work on downstays by the swing set...
Romy and Clover work Brady and Jacoby in downstays, you can tell Brady is a little apprehensive, this will go away as the week goes on as we flood Brady with this type of training, with my training program we don't baby weakness in dogs, we help them get through it as well as my pack helps
Storm and Buddha say hello to Pumpkin and have her get used to the other dogs
Brady is doing great with our training and Jacoby has been helping him out alot....Jacoby has been adopted out and will be going to his new home this weekend.

Until the Cows come Home
I did some fun Off Leash training with a clients dog today, Cooper is a 7 month old Golden Retriever that I have off leashed trained and we are starting to up the distractions to make the training.
Uma, Max and Cooper head down to the cow pasture
What exactly looking at?
A downstay in front of a bunch of cows. Keep in mind that none of these dogs have been told to STAY, they have only been told DOWN one time and they will STAY by default. This is REAL WORLD dog training.
Saturday I had a nice sit/down and discussed the animal shelter situation in RI, my ideas for an animal sanctuary in RI and we even had a nice conversation about renewable energy mostly wind and solar power.
Romy working Bruin on his loose leash heeling like the dog trainer that she is.
Clover and Romy helped me set up my booth at the Southern New England Womans Expo yesterday.
A gave a seminar on Marketing and Branding on a Budget
I had some time for some Q & A afterwords
Everyone learned a lot and had a great time, it was lots of fun for me.
Brady a GSD came into the kennel today for a 2 week Board and Train, this was his first interacdtion with another dog on our property.

Off Leash Recall Training
Last night we did some great off leash beach training with a couple of my clients, Romy and Clover came along to help with the training.
We go to Goddard Park since it has a combination of beaches and paths through the woods to train on. All dogs that I work off leash have on remote training collars, this way we don't miss a training opportunity.
Romy and Clover always have a great time at the beach with the dogs, my client has her 2 dogs Zeus and Zoey doing off leash work, this is Zoey's (the tan pit) first time off leash and he did great.
Clover and Romy help carry dog leashes and supplies while we train, it is important that they help with all aspects of training.
Romy and the dogs play on an abandoned dock, Romy wanted to know if there was any "cow-yo-tees" in the woods, and I assured her that the dogs would scare them away...
Clover helps out 2 of my clients who have a little dog all of 11 pounds or so, this dog runs with the big dogs, runs in the ocean, loves having all of the other dogs chase, and is off leash trained with the use of the e-collar. It is the safest most human and trusting training system you can use for a dog.
we worked well into the darkness and everyone had a great time and was nice and tired, and smelled like ocean and dirt
We went to Panera Bread after for some much deserved Chicken Noodle Soup.
Earlier in the day Clover helped train some Board and Train Dogs

Chef Goes Home
Yesterday I brought Chef back to his home in Newport after a 1 week board and train, he did great and he learned the meaning of work while staying with us.
Chef is out cold for the ride back home. He did great and learned so much in such a short period of time.
Max and Uma help out with 3 dogs that have a hard time staying in command with distractions...keep in mind I never told these dogs to STAY, when I tell a dog to SIT the STAY is implied and yes we don't use food, my training system revolves around a dogs natural energy which is to respect and listen to the pack leader.
I had some clients prior to bringing Chef home so I used him as a nice little distraction. Both of these clients live in Tiverton, RI and I decided to get them together so they can use each others dogs to distract each other. They all did great....
Swimming with dogs is lots of fun, just ask Clover and Romy as they help one of my clients teach there dog how to swim
Roca likes to dry Clover off with his tongue...
Success, my clients dog swims on her own, a great way to build confidence in a dog

Lindsay Lohan Back in Jail
If you have been following my blog you know that Michael came to us a highly nervous and untrained dog and with one of my 2 week intensive Board and Train programs with the use of all of my training methods, yes which include prong collars and e-collars we have unleashed his true spirit. For all of the people that hear that prong collars and e-collars make dogs nervous, afraid and aggressive they have no clue about dogs or dog training. they are flat out wrong and I will go even as far as saying stupid.
off leash work at Goddard Park
doing some off leash work with some clients dogs and my own.
teaching a dog how to swim, we start it on a leash to build confidence and they make sure that the dog understands how to get in and out at the beach entrance.
