THE ACADEMY JOURNAL

Charlie recently completed my Level 1 Foundations First class, and his owners decided they wanted to keep going and do even more with him!

The goal is for Coal to learn that he can be around other dogs without feeling the need to react. He doesn’t have to love them, play with them, or even interact with them. We just want him to learn how to coexist peacefully, respect their space, and make better decisions!

Gunner’s mom described taking him anywhere before training as “trying to leash walk a Tasmanian devil.” But underneath all of that chaos was a dog who was struggling.

Sydney came into her owner’s life as a tiny 20 lb puppy…and quickly turned into a 110 lb dog with some BIG feelings.
