Oriole, the little Bichon Frise male, graduated from our FINE-TUNED CANINES' Board and Train program in Florida! Congratualtions "little man"!:) 

Oriole's new achievements (he learned everything you see in these 2 movies during the 2 weeks he stayed at FINE-TUNED CANINES Board and Train dog training camp in Florida):

Oriole's new achievements include learning how to:

• walk properly on a loose leash without pulling
• heel off-leash
• come when called
• be polite and well-mannered in various situations
• be quiet and not bark, squeak and vocalize all the time
• have nice manners at the door (and remain quiet when the door bell rings)
• enjoy exercise and use a treadmill (Oriole absolutely loves it now and cannot wait to jump on it and trot)
• go to a place on command
• go to a crate on command
• stay on command (including a long stay when he cannot see a handler)
• do some fun agility exercises such as hoop jumping and obstacle jumping, jumping up on a place, etc
• play some new fun games
• be well-mannered in public places with lots of distractions (smells, noises, people, other dogs), etc.
• feel confident about himself
• feel relaxed and confident around his newly adopted "brother" (a Labradoodle)

Oriole also enjoyed socializing in public places and also with other dogs.Oriole snoozing in a car....He used to be very anxious in a car...

He stayed with us longer after his Board and Train to work on some anxiety issues (including car anxiety) and he did wonderful with that as well! Here's a photo and a short movie clip showing Oriole in a car after we worked on his car anxiety:

We are really thrilled that we were able to assist this sweet, affectionate, gentle, loving "little guy" in developing his skills and potential (he's got so much potential!). We're gonna miss this little one and we're wishing him and his fantastic family many new successes! 

Oriole, the 7 year old Bichon Frise male dog and FINE-TUNED CANINES Board and Train dog training program student in Florida

Yesterday, another canine student joined FINE-TUNED CANINES Board and Train program. Our new student is a 7 year old Bichon Frise male dog and his name is Oriole.

Oriole did not have any previous training and is ready for some new mental challenges and for broadening his intellectual horizons. 

Oriole's already learning new skills and he met his canine faculty as well: professor Shakti and professor Chopper. :) 

Oriole's major fields of study include "good manner-ology", the "art of loose leash walking" and the "philosophy of barkless living", but this smart little guy's accomplishments will quite likely exceed all expectations. 

Remember: it is NEVER too late to start training your dog! Dogs learn their whole lives, just like humans. Proper canine education is a chance for your dog to develop his or her potential and talents. 

We are very excited about getting to know Oriole's sparkly personality and assisting him in discovering his talents.

It's been a while since one of our fantastic canine students Brodie (Board and Train program graduate and also Board and Brush-up happy camper), came here for the first time. It is hard to believe that it was over one year ago when Brodie started his Board and Train program. We were told at that time that Brodie had previously been to another training program; however Brodie's owners were still not able to control their big pup.

I finally organized some video clips from Brodie's Board and Train program into a movie. YES! It is BRODIE's big movie premiere!:) ENJOY and please feel free to share!

 

Bailey, the Labradoodle male dog graduated today from the FINE-TUNED CANINES Board and Train camp! We're proud of this sweet and very smart dog whose wonderful owners gave him a chance for proper canine education and socialization!

Bailey learned a lot of new skills and besides that he made new human and canine friends! During his stay at FINE-TUNED CANINES Board and Train camp in Florida, he started new canine friendships with our 2 personal dogs: Shakti (Shiloh Shepherd female) and Chopper (English working Cocker Spaniel male) and also a Board and Brush-up canine student, Jackson, a Golden Retriever male.

Way to go Bailey!

Our wonderful returning canine client, Jackson, the Golden Retriever male, is having fun at FINE-TUNED CANINES Florida Board and Brush-up camp! We had the privilege of working with Jackson at only 4 months old when he came for Board and Train camp.

Here's the movie we made at that time:

Now Jackson is all grown up (he's over 1 year old) and he has grown up to be a very handsome, sweet and well-mannered dog. His fantastic owners know that training is an ongoing process and Jackson is getting the benefit of polishing his skills and manners and also learning some new skills at our dog training Board and Brush-up camp in Florida. When Jackson's owners work or travel, they lovingly fulfill his needs and send him to FINE-TUNED CANINES Board and Brush-up camp where Jackson is learning, having fun and even making new friends while experiencing proper socialization.  His owners do not need to worry that Jackson might be bored or lonesome, because Jackson's day is filled with fun activities, educational playtime and proper social experiences. He even gets group training experience with 3 other dogs!

It was touching to see Jackson's reunion with his good canine friends Shakti and Chopper. They recognized each other right away and they were so happy to see each other. Jackson also met a new canine friend, Bailey (Labradoodle male) who is staying at FINE-TUNED CANINES Board and Train camp and getting his education.
