Ms Greta kicked off her board and train program this week! This rottie golden cross was a puppy imprinting graduate that is now training beautifully as she begins to learn leash communication patterns🐾 #dogtrainingmissoula #runyourpack #workyourpack

Old friends and new furry faces. Some of of our good friends/past clients visited the dojo this morning to get puppy imprinting started with their brand new GSD ‘Cheaua’. I Have been blessed to meet many awesome individuals throughout my dog journey and it’s so fun to have clients return with new puppies ready for another adventure...looking forward to seeing this team grow with their new addition! #puppyimprinting #germanshepherdpuppy #yurtlife #dogtrainingmissoula

Blue cockapoo, Lucky, kicked off his board and train program this week. This little guy struggled with reactivity that stemmed from nervousness/not knowing what else to focus his energy on. His first couple days started with quiet 1 on 1 sessions empowering him to understand the language of directional leash pressure. Once his brain started keying into patterns he immediately began building confidence focusing on the game of leash pressure. Today he took big confident steps f

Sweet Ike is in for his foundational obedience program. Climb, sit, down, loose leash walk and treadmill: he is doing well with all of his behaviors thus far! Recall training begins tomorrow! #dogtrainingmissoula #runyourpack

Smiling Shooter kicked off his board and train program this week. He is a super sweet guy that is a bit shy at first...quickly developing confidence through clarity in communication and structure! #runyourpack #workyourpack #dogtrainingmissoula

Dawa is in for off leash training. This less common long coated version of a Belgian shepherd is called a Groenendael. Unlike her malinois cousin, Dawa is much more calm and relaxed but still thrives with clear structure and purpose to her day. #workyourpack #runyourpack #Groenendael #dogtrainingmissoula

Big boy Bear kicks off his board and train at RYP. This handsome brute is relearning how to work WITH a leash not against it both during walks and with his stationary commands. #germanshepherd #dogtrainingmissoula #runyourpack #workyourpack

GSD Indie arrived earlier this week from Great Falls to start his board and train program. This handsome 1 year old is killing it already taking to his commands like a dog that was thirsty for a job! #germanshepherd #dogtrainingmissoula #runyourpack

K9 Scout and K9 River kicked off their board and train programs this week! These 2 GSDs are well on their way understanding commands and how to calmly work around each other. They live in a household with 2 young children. They are great with the kids but having some structure and purpose to their day will help calm them and give them jobs to focus on. The climb command (shown in photo) is something we teach all our clients...this is also a behavior I personally use daily to

2 parts rottie 2 parts golden : meet K9 Greta! This little cutie just kicked off her puppy imprinting program in the yurt today! #runyourpack #workyourpack #dogtrainingmissoula

K9 Sinny kicks off her 3 week board and train this week! Already strong on her understanding of German commands, we will be focusing her program on tightening up positions through competing motivators such as dogs. The act of expanding the understanding of positions through distractions is what we call ‘proofing’. #dogtrainingmissoula #runyourpack #obediencetraining

K9 Taia kicked off her 6 week board and train this week . This mini Aussie is already taking to leash work and marker rewards wonderfully and her confidence is growing daily! #runyourpack #dogtrainingmissoula #miniaussie #miniaustralianshepherd

K9 Angus just wrapped his 6 week foundational obedience program which educated him on how to work with his handlers both on and off leash. We still have a couple handler lessons left to go but the transformation in life together this far has been drastic. Before defining structure - Angus only knew how to interact with humans through constant jumping and biting...wasn’t really malicious, he just didn’t know any other way. That behavior was his default. Through clear communica

Powder hound, Cash, kicks off his off leash board and train! This handsome GSD did puppy imprinting when he was 10 weeks old...he did his first 3 week board and train last summer as a 5 month old, now he’s back to take his on leash skills off leash! #germanshepherdsofinstagram #germanshepherd #dogtrainingmissoula #runyourpack

Boxer K9 Max in for training. This sweet natured guy is halfway through his board and train. He is understanding concepts wonderfully and as he continues to learn and problem solve his confidence grows too- handler lessons begin next week for this guy! #boxersofinstagram #runyourpack #dogtrainingmissoula

This young golden finished up his 3 week obedience program today. His handler had already done a wonderful job raising a stable confident puppy. Now, with new tools in their dog training arsenal, those 2 can continue to forge a bond as a team and do fun Montana stuff together (hike, climb, raft etc). Best of luck Ashlie and Marley! 👊 #dogtrainingmissoula #runyourpack

This Shepherd Dane cross is at RYP for his foundational on leash program. He has been doing a phenomenal job building confidence as he learns to work and think with handlers! #runyourpack #dogtrainingmissoula

Handsome Labrador Fitz has been in for the past couple weeks for his foundational obedience board and train. Entering week 3 his training curriculum will include proofing stationary and movement commands while adding in distance and distractions to his recall. #runyourpack #dogtrainingmissoula #labrador

Meet Zoey the plott hound x. She is in for her foundational on leash obedience program. Like any hound she can get excited about smells but she is doing great learning to focus on handler engagement and ignore distractions until freed up to do her hound thing :) #dogtrainingmissoula #runyourpack
