Promising Tails

Buddy took off after suffering a seizure on Tuesday. He is injured & scared. He lives off Mountaindale Road in Thurmont. MD. Please share & be on the lookout. Contact me at 301-639-2167.

This sweet girl is Hershey. She's here for a week to work on leash skills, as well as overall confidence building. She's a pretty anxious girl so we're going to work at her pace & begin to help her learn that she doesn't need to lead & navigate this crazy world on her own.

Warm welcome to Keeloh! He's here for our 2 week b+t program. Main goals: recall & learn a more enjoyable way to walk on leash. This boy is ❗STRONG❗ and definitely uses that to his advantage! He is also the absolute sweetest lug 🥰. Follow along to see this pup learn some new ways.

Hello Sully! This 11 mo old pit mix is here for the next week to take his training a bit further with the e-collar. His amazing owners have done a lot of work with this guy - lucky dog!
I'm going to spend the week introducing him to the e-collar and layering it over commands he already knows. He's got a couple pesky behaviors that we'll also start working on correcting (jumping up and barreling into people out of excitement - way too big for that stuff!)
At the end of the week, the training continues! I'll be meeting his owners out and about to practice working through real life scenarios so they can be comfortable continuing with his training.
Follow along on this handsome guy's journey!

Heartbreaker Holly arrived yesterday to start her b+t program. This petite, 6 month old golden is here to jumpstart her training & learn there's a time to be crazy & a time to turn it off. Common issues we will be addressing are...jumping up, counter surfing, craziness in the car & keeping our cool when we see other dogs on the walk.

The stunning 8 month old Apollo arrived yesterday to kick off his board + train program. This guy is here to kickstart his learning so he can be a fantastic family dog. He lives on 25 acres so a reliable recall will really open up his world! He also has the ability to go to work with his person so we're going to get that place command solid so he can stay out of mischief and learn to chill while things go on around him. Let's get to work! 🐾

Hello Redding! Red is an 8 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback here for our b+t program. This handsome lug has shown his owners that he is not yet ready for all the freedom in the home (most dogs this age aren't!) by chewing on inappropriate items, counter-surfing and jumping on people.

His awesome owners have already crate trained him, make sure his exercise needs are met and have him walking really great on a loose leash! We are going to build upon those skills and really work on creating some boundaries within the home. Stay tuned!

Welcome Cooper! This guy arrived yesterday to start his board & train program. His owners goals are to improve leash skills (he's quite the puller!), achieve a solid recall & learn to settle. Let's get to work! 🐾

2 new training arrivals to introduce!

Stitch is a . This adorable guy is here to learn his basic obedience but more importantly, to help him feel better about the world around him. He can be a nervous guy & is quick to sound the alarm when he thinks there is concern. His leash reactivity makes it difficult to take him on walks, as he's so focused on everything but his handler.

Gracie, the cream colored is joining us to solidify her obedience commands, as well as get a confidence boost! She's a submissive lady who is such a pleaser... with a dash of defiance 😉 She's the queen of pancaking to object to things she might not want to do. Slow & steady for this gal!

Follow along to see their progress & take away some tips that might help with your own dog!

Welcome Bailey, the adorably spunky, wire haired JRT. This guy is 6 months old & is here to learn all his basic commands, as well as how to be a great family dog. He's developing some not-so-great habits to get his needs met (ankle nipping and mouthy behavior) so we are going to show him another way.

Follow along to see Bailey's progress! 🐾

Welcome Phoebe! How cute is this girl?! 😍

Her people have done a great job laying the foundation for us to build upon. Their main goal? Off leash accountability so she can enjoy all the hikes with her family!

Can't wait to help them accomplish this goal with ecollar training! Get ready, sweet girl - your world is about to get a lot bigger! 🐾

This incredibly handsome guy is Indy & he's looking for a new home to call his own. He's been here for less than a week, so I'm still learning about him but you can check him out at: https://www.petconnectrescue.org/adopt/dogs/ &page=shelterluv_wrap_1601324508071%2Fembed%2Fanimal%2FPTCR-A-2595
