Another spectacular class of Basic Obedience graduates! What a joy it has been to work with these students! It's incredible how quickly 6 weeks goes by, and yet how much progress they each have made in that short window of time😃Big shout out to Mr. Bowie who has really come such a long way since his first class with us! We are immensely proud of the progress they've all made and again, simply a joy to work with! Congratulations!

Mr. Watson is learning one of the most powerful commands in training ~ focus. When a dog chooses to look at you instead of the distractions around them, that’s trust. That’s teamwork. That’s the foundation for everything else. That's the beauty of group classes with Kate at Kindred Spirits.
“Watch Me” isn’t just about eye contact…it’s about building connection. And look at that focus. 💛🐾

This is Bowie and his wonderfully devoted parents~On his first day of school, he had some trouble adjusting to all the distractions in class. It can feel overwhelming if you don't know what to do or how to react in that situation. Bowie was pretty vocal about it too😁Yet, in just a few short weeks, he was finally able to fully focused on his mom and dad, undeterred by the other dogs. His parents are doing a fantastic job of redirecting his attention back on them, especially if they notice him becoming nervous or anxious. They clearly practice what they are learning. This also highlights the beauty of training in a group class, where you can practice the skills you've acquired amid distractions, using the techniques shared by Kate along with her hands-on support and guidance. I think this is such a great example of that. He's come a long way~what a good boy, Bowie! 😍

I absolutely love this photo because it precisely conveys how we all feel when you've just told Kate that your dog won't (pick one) "sit", "down", "watch me", "stay", "come" and Kate comes over and your dog immediately complies. This expression that says it all😂
