One of our brilliant students, Brodie (we actually nicknamed him Brodie the Brilliant because he's such a smart and attentive dog), a Golden Retriever male, is enjoying himself at FINE-TUNED CANINES Board and Brush up program! We're always happy to welcome back our graduate students and observe that the results of the previous teamwork between dog owners, dog and trainer are still in evidence even months after graduation from our Board and Train dog training camp. 

Brodie is a joy to have around. He remembers everything he learned here and his owners have done a fabulous job maintaining his skills. Brodie also is very pleased to be reunited with his good canine friends, Shakti and Chopper, and continues to add to his social experiences as well. 

At our Board and Brush up (and also Board and Train) dog training camp in Florida, dogs learn, play, get proper socialization and have plenty of adventures too. Here Brodie is enjoying one of his various camp type experiences with his canine friend Chopper at a state park where we took them hiking. They loved watching the kayaks too. The dogs are always ready for adventures and enjoy getting in touch with their inner Huckleberry Finns. :)

Lucy, the Shiloh Shepherd female - FINE-TUNED CANINES Board and Train graduateThe year is almost over, and yet another dog got fine-tuned! We love working with all dogs of course, but shepherds are very dear to our hearts (as a Shiloh Shepherd is one of our pack members) and it was our great pleasure and joy to work with Lucy, a Shiloh Shepherd female, who was 14 months old at the time we started her training. Lucy even spent Christmas with us and her owner gave her the best gift: education. The fruits of her schooling will stay with her for the rest of her life.

Lucy is a very smart dog and learned things really fast and she has a lot of curiosity. Lucy loves to have a "job" and enjoys new fun challenges.

She successfully graduated from our FINE-TUNED CANINES Board and Train program and enjoyed the whole learning experience. She made new human and canine friends. Lucy also got lots of proper socializing experiences and had fun while learning good canine manners, elements of agility training and even how to use a treadmill!

Besides working with dogs, we truly enjoy working with their owners and it was our great honor and pleasure to be able to work with Lucy's owner who did a FANTASTIC job! We're cheering both for Lucy and her pack leader: keep up the great work! :)

More about Lucy, her adventures and and achievements soon...so stay fine-tuned!

FINE-TUNED CANINES Board and Train program puppy graduate, Jackson, the Golden Retriever male. Fine-tuned Canines offers Board and Train dog training services for puppies in Southwest Florida.We fine-tuned another dog! This time it was our pleasure to work with a young Golden Retriever puppy named Jackson, who was between 4 and 5 months old at the time we started his training. Jackson successfully graduated from our FINE-TUNED CANINES Board and Train program and enjoyed the whole learning experience. He made new friends, got lots of proper socializing experiences and had fun while learning good canine manners.

Jackson is a good example of a young dog who benefited a lot from early training. His owners are great role models because they are responsible dog owners and pack leaders who provided their puppy with a good education that equipped him with great life skills. Jackson is a pup with lots of curiosity and we were happy to be able to enhance that curiosity and instill in him the desire to learn. Dogs are animals of great intelligence, and only when we humans help them to develop their abilities and potential can they truly blossom like this little pup Jackson did.

As you can see in the graduate photo, Jackson takes his education very seriously too. ;) He learned that good behaviors make his human pack leaders happy and that makes him proud of himself and his achievements.

Dogs are never too young to learn (or too old). The earlier a pup starts to learn, the more proper behaviors he will learn and the sooner he'll become a well-mannered and balanced companion who is a joy to live with and be around.

More about Jackson and his achievements soon...so stay fine-tuned!
