Congratulations to Taproot Grads Class of May ‘25!

These students learned Levels 1, 2 & 3 material in the official City Dog Level 1 class 💪🏻 🐾

Footage of City Dog 1 students from this weekend who are so advanced that they began Levels 2 & 3 material (which includes working outside in our ginormous space)!

This. And of course there are always exceptions (mild to severe anxiety), but in general, THIS!!

This is a crate. There is a Bo in this crate. I’ve had several potential clients ask me if I’m going to crate their dog while it’s at my house.

Yep. I am

This is a piece of training that is non negotiable. Your dog needs to be able to handle being alone. The crate is how you start that Day 1.

Lucy goes in her crate and sleeps several times a day by her own choice. They eat in crates. They sleep in crates.

It’s not prison or torture. It’s peace of mind knowing I can say CRATE, and my dogs go sit in their crates. This neutralizes problems I know are about to happen.

Too much freedom doesn’t end well with dogs. “Let them be free” is how sh*tty dogs are made

Join us for City Dog Level 1 beginning May 3 @ 11am!

5 week class taught by Taproot’s owner & Certified Professional Dog Trainer.

Whether you're into dog training or not, this is a great, short Talk that may change how you view your relationship with dogs!

The Problem with Treating a Dog Like a Pet Applied Ethologist and Dog Behavior Specialist, Kim Brophey, analyzes the issues with the pet industry and outlines a new dog training program that values a relationship based on mutual understandings rather than one based on dominance and control.
