Structured training walks have worked wonders with Shiloh’s car anxiety. Also an opportunity for a photo shoot with this photogenic pup 🐾☺️

Tickets are open now for our first Group Training weekend, with sessions kicking off:

April 4th in Yorkville at Fox Republic Brewing
April 5th in Oswego at Paws on Main St

The first session is free, and we’re excited to get the season started! They both start att 9:30am.

This weekend is all about better focus, better leash work, better handling, and better habits in a public setting. Good for structured socialization.

Let’s be clear! It’s OK to get out of your comfort zone, the both of you. You will lean on each other and build onto your connection.

The wait is almost over! This year will be awesome! Get ready! The spots are limited and they will go very fast! As usual, our first weekend of Group Training is free but you do have to sign up for your ticket on our website.

Tickets will be live at midnight tonight! We will make a post and they will be on our events page. Night owls and early risers have the advantage but this is the most fair way we can do it. April 4th from 9:30-11:00am starting at foxrepublicbrewing in Yorkville and April 5th from 9:30-11:00am at Paws On Main Oswego.

PS. If you get a ticket to one of the days, and you can’t make it, please tell us so that spot can be filled. We hope to see familiar and new faces!

Your dog’s name should mean “look at me,” not “tune me out.” Today, practice saying your dog’s name once, wait for eye contact, then calmly reward with praise or a small treat. That simple habit builds connection and makes every other command easier.

Tyler the Trainer and Maple built that connection in the Big Apple.

Take your dog with you. Let them see the world, learn how to move through it, and practice being calm by your side. A well-trained dog should not be left out of everything, they should be able to join you through everyday moments and bigger adventures too. From patios to parks, errands to weekend outings, every trip is a chance to build trust, structure, and a stronger relationship. That is where the bond gets better and the training starts to mean something.
