Oriole, the little Bichon Frise male, graduated from our FINE-TUNED CANINES' Board and Train program in Florida! Congratualtions "little man"!:) 

Oriole's new achievements (he learned everything you see in these 2 movies during the 2 weeks he stayed at FINE-TUNED CANINES Board and Train dog training camp in Florida):

Oriole's new achievements include learning how to:

• walk properly on a loose leash without pulling
• heel off-leash
• come when called
• be polite and well-mannered in various situations
• be quiet and not bark, squeak and vocalize all the time
• have nice manners at the door (and remain quiet when the door bell rings)
• enjoy exercise and use a treadmill (Oriole absolutely loves it now and cannot wait to jump on it and trot)
• go to a place on command
• go to a crate on command
• stay on command (including a long stay when he cannot see a handler)
• do some fun agility exercises such as hoop jumping and obstacle jumping, jumping up on a place, etc
• play some new fun games
• be well-mannered in public places with lots of distractions (smells, noises, people, other dogs), etc.
• feel confident about himself
• feel relaxed and confident around his newly adopted "brother" (a Labradoodle)

Oriole also enjoyed socializing in public places and also with other dogs.Oriole snoozing in a car....He used to be very anxious in a car...

He stayed with us longer after his Board and Train to work on some anxiety issues (including car anxiety) and he did wonderful with that as well! Here's a photo and a short movie clip showing Oriole in a car after we worked on his car anxiety:

We are really thrilled that we were able to assist this sweet, affectionate, gentle, loving "little guy" in developing his skills and potential (he's got so much potential!). We're gonna miss this little one and we're wishing him and his fantastic family many new successes! 

Oriole, the 7 year old Bichon Frise male dog and FINE-TUNED CANINES Board and Train dog training program student in Florida

Yesterday, another canine student joined FINE-TUNED CANINES Board and Train program. Our new student is a 7 year old Bichon Frise male dog and his name is Oriole.

Oriole did not have any previous training and is ready for some new mental challenges and for broadening his intellectual horizons. 

Oriole's already learning new skills and he met his canine faculty as well: professor Shakti and professor Chopper. :) 

Oriole's major fields of study include "good manner-ology", the "art of loose leash walking" and the "philosophy of barkless living", but this smart little guy's accomplishments will quite likely exceed all expectations. 

Remember: it is NEVER too late to start training your dog! Dogs learn their whole lives, just like humans. Proper canine education is a chance for your dog to develop his or her potential and talents. 

We are very excited about getting to know Oriole's sparkly personality and assisting him in discovering his talents.
