King, the European Doberman puppy, enjoyed his fie King, the European Doberman puppy, enjoyed his field trips to Petsmart and DICK's Sporting Goods. Just like any teenage Doberman, he's trying to figure out the world around him and can have big feelings sometimes. He was very weary and nervous about the mannequins in DICK's, but learned that they were not a threat to him. He was able to work with distractions and maintain focus in busy environments. Great job, King! #sithappens #lafayettedogtrainer #trainingwithresults #boardandtrain #puppytraining #puppiesofinstagram #manners #obedience #fieldtrip #europeandoberman #dobermansofinstagram  #petfriendlystore #dogtraining #dobielove #teenagedogsofinstagram
Murphy, the Golden Retriever puppy, went on field Murphy, the Golden Retriever puppy, went on field trips to Petco and DICK's Sporting Goods. The goal of her field trips was for her to walk around the stores and explore her environment. She has gained much needed confidence on leash, but is still nervous in new environments. The parking lots were the hardest to walk in, once in the stores she enjoyed sniffing and getting pets fro  the ladies at Petco. Once she became more comfortable she was able to focus and practice her obedience cues. Great job, Murphy! #sithappens #lafayettedogtrainer #trainingwithresults #boardandtrain #puppytraining #socialization #fearfuldogtraining #puppygram #puppiesofinstagram #lafayettela #puppylove #manners #obedience #fieldtrip #petfriendlystore #goldenretriever #goldenretrieverpuppy
