Off Leash Dog Obedience Training with Charlie
Charlie was rescued about 2 1/2 years ago…his new mom fell in love with him the moment she met him. The day after she brought him home, however, she noticed he was exhibiting signs of fear aggression. Like many fearful dogs, he resorted to tactics that appear to be aggressive (growling, barking and baring teeth). […]
Check out Chester’s Off Leash Obedience!
Just two short months ago, Chester and his family came to us to get training help for Chester’s fearful and anxious behaviors. Chester was leash reactive to dogs and some strangers and had a bad habit of destroying things or breaking out of his crate when he was left alone. I’m very excited to say […]
Fun with Focus Heeling

Unlike when we adopted Luna, this was a “planned pregnancy.” I remember as we drove up the long driveway to go pick him up…we had been counting down to […]
Meet Julia and Nico
Julia and Nico came to us as a referral from our friends over at Bay Area German Shepherd Rescue. Julia had recently rescued Nico and, well, let’s just say his behavior left something to be desired. Julia thought that maybe his behavior would “just work itself out.” When it comes to problem behaviors, this is […]
My Sweet Luna
This picture changed my life. Three years ago, I sat down at my desk in my home office and opened up Facebook. This picture was one of the first things that I saw that morning. September 29th. The instant I saw it, I knew. I just KNEW. There wasn’t any thinking or second guessing. I […]
