From Puppyhood to Adventure: Laidley’s Journey with Positive Reinforcement Training

From Puppyhood to Adventure: Laidley’s Journey with Positive Reinforcement Training

Laidley, a spirited Australian Cattle Dog, began her training journey at Summit Dog Training as a nine-week-old pup with big goals: to become a hiking companion, a brewery buddy, and a future sport dog. Through positive reinforcement and consistent training, Laidley has transformed into a confident, well-mannered adventure partner. Her story is a testament to the power of patience, dedication, and the right support. Ready to start your dog’s adventure? Let Laidley’s journey inspire your own!

Puppy In The Park

I just need to brag about some great students for a minute! Over the summer months, we met weekly in City Park, Fort Collins, for Puppy In The Park drop-in class.  This class was for graduates of my Puppy Basics and Puppy Confidence classes who were looking for extra opportunities to practice the skills they learned in new and more challenging environments.  And let me tell you, between baseball games, family reunion gatherings, and distracted PokemonGo players wandering through our makeshift classroom, the learning environment at City Park has certainly provided lots of great challenges!  

Cassie's mom sent me these pictures from one of the classes, and looking through them made me so proud!  These pups have all made great progress since we've started working!
