Do you really want a high energy dog? People who live active lifestyles often times buy working breedsVizsla, German Shorthaired Pointer, German Shepherd, Australian Shepherd... Many people are unprepared for how demanding high-energy working breeds can be. Beyond physical energy outlets (think, ideally 30-45 min of free running daily), these breeds often times need extra structure and mental work in their lives. Not providing the right structure or training often times cau...ses these dogs to feel pent up and frustrated, which can cause a variety of behavioral problems and stress for you. While every dog benefits from proper training, working breeds can cause utter mayhem in your life without it, and can be unsafe out in public. There are plenty of Labradors and Goldendoodles that can keep up with your activity levelsyou don’t need a dog who was bred to work! If you’re looking into getting a dog, don’t hesitate to reach out and get help in making the right selection.

Teaching the boys to come when called in the middle of play. So crucial in a multi dog household!

A few of the new kids!

A little late but had to share. Comment with a pic if your pup dressed up this year for Halloween.

It’s my last day with Crosby! So proud of how he’s done in his behavior modification board and train program. Crosby was reactive to other dogs on leash and lacked impulse control on and off-leash. He has really found confidence in his ability to control himself around exciting things. He’s just a great, all-around dog and a real joy to have around. Not gonna lie, Gideon and I are BOTH going to miss him!

Play time and then some place bed time for Zoe and Rocky

Sugar’s turn at the reservoir.

Happy, dirty dogs.

Sugar and Hunk also had great training outings at Heather Farms. I feel very lucky to live around the corner from this great park!

Crosby has a great session outside of a very busy dog park this am.
