It was a real pleasure to catch up with Dan and Trigger on Monday.

Dan operates a thriving business as well as being a dedicated father and husband - so he bought a slat mill for Trigger to give him yet another outlet to express himself physically.

Dan ain't no dill when it comes to working Trigs, but try as he might he just couldn't quite get his dog to trot continually on the mill.

Rather than causing issues he popped in for a session to make sure he was on track with his approach.

Much to Dan's surprise we had Trigs trotting consistently and happily on the mill, to include cues to start and stop, in around just 25min.

That short time frame was because Dan had invested a ton of time in building and developing Trigs during his first 12mo. of life.

I was pretty pumped with the greeting Trigs gave me after not seeing him for around a year.

As Dan was leaving he told me that he has to be careful scrolling IG at night if he's wife is asleep, because if Trigs hears my voice he'll get all jazzed up and excited...that's cool AF!

Goose is a spoodle that we rescued from a shelter earlier this year.⁣
⁣
In that time he's grown a lot - both physically and mentally.⁣
⁣
𝗛𝗲'𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲:⁣
⁣
✅ Highly trainable and curious;⁣
✅ Develops friendships with stable, social dogs very easily;⁣
✅ Great with people, to include young kids (assuming the humans supervise, and behave with dog sense);⁣
✅ Loves to play tug, ball, wrasslin', etc;⁣
✅ Very affectionate;⁣
✅ Crate and pen trained;⁣
✅ House trained;⁣
✅ and the list goes on...⁣
⁣
Being a cross between a spaniel and a standard poodle Goose definitely has his quirks.⁣
⁣
He's spent a whole bunch of time with some very very serious dog training names from Australia and Germany, and he was a hit with them.⁣

Goose has also been training under our supervision with a number of our more experienced clients, and as you can see he and Poppy have a real vibe going on.
⁣
So if you're in the market for a dog you are prepared to work with, show patience, build, and actively train...perhaps even do some dog sports...he may just be a great addition to your home.⁣
⁣
If so, there's a link in our social bios that will allow you to put your name on the list to stay updated.⁣
