Spring 2012 Scent Games

Tracey — Sun, 06 May 2012 07:12:25 +0000

We have just published the dates and times for our next round of K9 Scent Games! The unique curriculum we have adopted in our classes promotes a positive, fun and motivationally-based methodology. By utilizing our dog’s search skills, we build confidence, burn off mental and physical energy, and a positive working relationship that develops between you and your dog when you both are out “hunting” together as a team. Come on out and get smelly with us!

It starts out with basic educational drills that increase in complexity as your dog’s skill set increases. Each week your dog has to work harder and harder and learn to trust their nose as the handler and dog learn to work together. The grand finale consists of a course over 3,000 sq feet filled with vehicles, luggage, pallets, boxes, and other debris. Your dog’s challenge is to locate one piece of food in all that mess, how cool is that?!

This class is open to all levels of obedience and individuals who are not currently Unleashed Unlimited clients are welcome as well. To see the complete schedule for this class and to register, please visit our K9 Scent Games page. Hope to see you out there!!

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again… we have the best clients. In order to show a small token of our gratitude for all of your support and encouragement, we’re throwing a bbq!

All present and past clients of Unleashed Unlimited are welcome to join us on Saturday, May 19th at our Leander training facility immediately following our morning training classes for a casual hangout. We will be providing the burgers, hot dogs, sodas, and sides but feel free to bring anything else (chair, alcohol, etc) that will make to day more enjoyable.

As always, well-mannered, non-reactive dogs are welcome to join us. If you plan to attend, please RSVP to Tracey by May 13th. Hope to see you out there!

GSP Available for Adoption

Paul — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:51:05 +0000

UPDATE 4/19/12: It only took a few days but Beau has found a wonderful home with a great family! Thank you everyone for your interest in Beau and sharing this post.

It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Beau is available for adoption. Many of you may have seen Beau out at classes and all over our facebook account a few weeks ago when he was with us for a board and train program. Beau did great in the program and transitioned nicely back with his family, but due to unforeseen health issues within the family, Beau is in need of a good home.

Beau is a 2.5yr old neutered male German Shorthaired Pointer, he’s extremely polite and social with other dogs. He’s also very friendly and affectionate with people and he’s a good dog that you can take anywhere. Like all GSP’s, Beau needs a lot of exercise and activity and taking him to the park, hiking on the trails, or going for a jog around the neighborhood are all excellent options for him!

As mentioned before, Beau has been through our board and train program so he has an off-leash recall, walks great on a leash, he knows sit, down, place, and wait. His training will carry over into his new home (please contact us for specifics) and his new family is greatly encouraged to continue his training with us. If you would like more info about Beau or would like to meet him, please contact us.

Tricks Class is Coming Back!

Paul — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 00:14:04 +0000

Trick training is back! Teaching your dog new tricks is a great opportunity to kick back and have some fun and by exposing your dog to new instruction, you’re actually making it easier for them to learn new things later down the road.

Our trick training class is a hands on class where you are going to be working with your dog and teaching them some fun tricks. Because this is a fun and laid back class, all ages and levels of obedience are welcome to participate – there are no prerequisites for Tricks 1!

Please visit our trick training page for a complete list of the skills that will be taught, details and class times (all of this session’s classes will be held at our Leander dog training center), and sign up information. If you’re not local or can’t make it to this class, don’t forget about our trick training dvd. Hope to see you out there!

Top Twitter Pics of 2011

Paul — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 04:08:49 +0000

We are constantly taking photos during our training sessions, private lessons, down time, and pretty much all times of the day, and we use our twitter account to post the photos on a daily basis. We accumulated a lot of photos during the year, in no particular order, here are some of our favorites.

The photo above was taken by a client who was observing class. I love this one, it’s just one of our favorites. Everyone seems to be paying attention.

No attempt at a witty or funny comment here, just a shot capturing a sweet moment between Jay Roy and his friend Walter.

Maybe with enough interest, synchronized sleeping will be included in the next Purina Incredible Dog Challenge!

Here’s a shot of Bruno showing his version of planking, which was very popular earlier this year.

I’m not sure if he got lost looking for his dog bed, but here’s Winston snuggling up in the dryer. It must have been cold that day.

Above is a pic of Pippi and her human. Check out the excitement in Pippi’s face!

I think this photo was taken a few days after Pippi’s hard core recall (in the photo above). Maybe she’s still trying to recover; Rudy is there for support.

We got a call to come and see if we would be able to work with a pig. Here’s Tracey working on sit with some cereal, the pig’s favorite treat!

Border Collies are known for their intense stare and incredible drive. Here’s Dakota focused on the ball; he does this a lot.

I know she’s a Labrador and she loves water, but drinking from the pool is discouraged. Anyway, here’s Cali drinking from the pool.

Great Dog Available for Adoption

Paul — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 18:23:48 +0000

UPDATE 12/20/11: Westin has been adopted!! Thank you everyone who shared this post for helping to get Westin into a great home!

For the past few weeks we have been fostering a 2 year old male Doberman Pinscher named Westin. During that time we have temperament tested him and spent a lot time watching how he interacts with other animals, people, and we must say – he is terrific!

Westin is part of the A Doberman Adoption Placement Team (ADAPT), which is based out of Houston, and would make a great pet for the right family (he’s a pretty nice dog for a first time dog owner as well). Socially Westin is fantastic with dogs and people; very playful and confident. He’s up to date on shots and is on a heartworm preventative, neutered and ready to find a great home. If you or anyone you know wh=ould be a good match for Westin, check out his profile on the ADAPT website.
