Today Gus learned how to approach, and eventually, get up on his "table" (klimb). He practiced "sits" and "downs" on it. Gus will be utilizing his "table" with a "stay" when he gets too excited about new company coming over. He did great on his first day of introduction to the new equipment! Afterward he enjoyed the soft grass and cool shade with his Buddy Brody. #upwarddogcolorado #dogtrainingisfun #rescuedogs #coloradodogs #rescuedog #adoptdontshop #newtrick #instadogs #dogsofinstagram #saintbernard @ Lakewood, Colorado

Like many dogs out there, Rufus can be very reactive around other dogs. Barriers, such as leashes and fences, can magnify the issue. By working within a good threshold, Rufus is learning how to associate other dogs with positive things (like the taste of his favorite treats, to start). He worked exceptionally well at a busy park today and this was essentially his first day of such training. #upwarddogcolorado #dogtrainingisfun #rescuedogs #coloradodogs #rescuedog #adoptdontshop #sloanslake #edgewater #welovedogs @ Sloan's Lake

Today was Duke's very first day of training! He was recently adopted by his new dad and is learning how to live with confidence and security in this big, crazy world! Today he learned "sit" and "down" and happily showed off his new skills for the camera. He started the session off a little scared and skittish, but once he started to gain some confidence, he was having fun and earning treats..Duke, welcome to #upwarddogcolorado

Buddy had a great training session at the park today! We worked on his threshold/reaction to other dogs. Today brought much progress for Buddy and I'm so proud of him! Tomorrow he gets to meet a new friend 🦴🐾
