german shepherd and akita mix puppies

It was obvious how much he cared for Wilbur and genuinely understood his, and our, needs. Gabriel was punctual, respectful and professional in all interactions prior to and on the days of our appointments. His advice was evidence based and reassuring. Our dog is so much happier now and so are we! We can't thank you enough, Gabriel. We would highly recommend you to any family having major or minor issues with their dog. From your very happy clients, Kate and Steve. Permalink Bark Busters dealt with Barking, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety Trainer note from Gabriel : A pleasure to work with Wilbur and his lovely owners - a very positive outcome for everyone. We were having issues with Tom's aggressive behaviour towards other dogs when out walking and his poor door manners. On Stef's first visit she had taught us how to speak to Tom and get him to really listen to us. We couldn't believe we were seeing a difference in the first session! Stef was so patient and caring with Tom, she really took the time to listen to our concerns and teach us how to correct Tom's bad behaviour. Tom has come such a long way and we are so thankful to Stef for helping us. It was lovely to work with you and your family. Tom the 3 year old Silky Terrier certainly has a loud bark! He also did very well in our group session. Well done Tom and his family!

Your easy to follow methods ensures I keep Max focused transforming walking into an enjoyable exercise for both of us as opposed to me being pulled along behind him. Now we are speaking dog we have happy fur babies and a happy family. Blue and Oscar and now sleeping better, walking on the lead with all the family. With only theee day of speaking dog we can see a dramatic difference. Both Blue and Oscar Cavalier x Bichon Frise were super responsive and knew what was expected of them within minutes of the training session and would not bark at the door bell or knocks. Great work in being consistent, especially when they bark to get in at night. Well done to you and your family! See more reviews for Stefanie Daniella I Kingsgrove, New South Wales August 06 Ken is an extremely friendly and knowledgeable trainer and was able to correct us in the way that we were training our 10 week old puppy Nala so that she would grow to be a well rounded dog. The corrections he taught us were very simple and two days later Nala is having no issues with understanding what we are trying to communicate to her, thus making her training that much more effective. She was very professional and included the kids into the session. We noticed a huge difference in our 1 year old Siberian husky max with door control, lead control and lots more. With Marley our 10 week old Siberian husky, we started teaching her to use a lead and walk. She also learnt recall and taught how to tell her off properly. We are very excited to see how much more our dogs learn and improve. Emma has been amazing with answering all our questions. Max and Marley, are both gorgeous dogs, and I'm looking forward to our next session. Yes us adults needed more training than our Peppa did. Thanks Jeanette. He has stranger anxiety and barks to demand attention from his humans. When he knows you he jumps up on you. If he doesn't know you he cowers away in apprehension and fear. He really needs guidance from his humans to feel secure. At our first lesson he responded really well and his humans told me that when guests came that evening they were able to prevent his jumping up and drop his demanding barking. Well done already! Peter walked in and immediately had all of the dog's calm no aggression within a minute even my male pom Geordie who is extremely aggressive with strangers stopped barking and growling we were speechless it's the only time in 5 years that this has happened. Rex was mouthing and play biting me quite badly he has completely stopped since Peter's visit. Peter came into our lives and taught us how to communicate with our fur babies the dog's now interact with each other in a calm relaxed way and are not aggressive towards Rex he is very respectful of their size all 4 now obey immediately it's magic. Peter also advised us to consider a change to their diet and feeding routine to help me with the aggression around meal times this has worked wonders and 2 of the dog's who were over weight have now started to slim down and are more active and healthy. Peter came to help Rex and he works wonders with us all. Peter trained us in how to make our dogs lives happy and healthy it's Bark Buster's magic. You and Evon are wonderful caring dog owners. Great to hear the news on your dogs behaviour and how the Bark Busters techniques worked for you. Rex was a rescue dog that lady owner in the street just surrendered to Evon when the lady could not walk him as he was pulling her down the street. Rex immediately ran to Evon. He must have known a great home was coming, and it has. Thanks you for caring for so many rescue dogs and your commitment and consistent education of your new pack with ensure a safe and happy home for all the dogs Looking forward to our follow up. Knowledgeable, friendly staff. Our 6-year-old German Shepherd has so many great adventures, and her life is fuller because of Dog Adventures Northwest. Our "puppy" is not always easy, but they train her well, they're kind, they show up on time, they take great photos, and they are, overall, are terrific! Kerry is very easy to work with and reliable. She responds to our scheduling questions promptly and we love working with her. Now onto our dog.Our dog looks for Peter out the window every morning, waiting for his car to pull up because she is so excited to go on an adventure with him. Her recall has drastically improved, and we are so thankful for the training work Peter does while on the adventure. It's been worth every penny. As a puppy, Cooper would tend to get over-excited and clobber her buddies canine and human. While she has always been "friendly," we worried that she wasn't able to read social cues from other dogs and exhibit enough inhibition to keep her from being a pest. Having weekly practice with dogs while under knowledgeable supervision has been fabulous for us. The trainers at DANW are able to step in and guide Coop so that play stays fun for everyone and she is increasingly able to self-regulate and play or just co-exist happily with a variety of dogs. It's so nice to know that our pup is getting the practice and training she needs in an environment that isn't full of too many dogs and extra noises that might make it harder for her to calm herself, as might be the case in a crowded daycare. Her outings are without a doubt the highlight of her week. I'm sure she enjoys her hikes with us but her joyful helicopter tail when she sees Simone or Verena pull up in front of the house is truly next level. Morning and evening updates and sometimes more! I especially appreciate the care they took to manage my dog on walks and work with her on her dog reactivity. This is a great company, with great dog sitters, and I highly recommend them. We were looking for services to help us give Rupert a solid foundation of good behaviors including house manners. Signing up with Gie for Day Camp was the best decision we could have made. Gie is easy going, insightful and experienced. In addition, an added benefit has been that Gie has also worked to help us learn so that we can continue the training she does with him ourselves. She comes back tired and happily sleeps away the afternoon. Simone was great with her during the meet and greet. Doc's behavior is noticeably better since starting to go on adventures with Dog Adventures Northwest - she's having an easier time ignoring other dogs while walking and during hikes, she checks in more when she's off-leash, and she is better at matching the energy levels of other dogs when playing instead of being a furry missile. As new puppy parents, we were anxious to leave our doodle Wally for our first vacation away but after speaking with our trainer, we were confident that Wally would be in the best hands. Jessica met with us ahead of time at her home to get to know Wally and answer any questions we had. We booked a test run weekend ahead of our 10 day vacation to help Wally adjust to her home and time away. During the test run, Jessica sent us so many photos and texts of our sweet smiling pup that we could actually enjoy our weekend in Bend. We also scheduled a few adventure day camp sessions with Jessica between the test run and the vacation to make sure Wally felt extra comfortable - this was absolutely worth it and Wally adores Jessica. Over the 10 day vacation, Jessica was an incredible communicator, sent us detailed notes around training and how he was adjusting. We felt so good that Wally was enjoying his adventures, learning tons and having a vacation of his own! We highly recommend Jessica and seriously cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Dog Adventures Northwest! Verena showed Harper the patience and perseverance she needed to blossom right before her eyes. Verena worked hard to earn Harper's trust and they became fast friends. Can't speak highly enough about Verena's capacity to work with Harper, who is reluctant to get close to someone unless she is sure they are trustworthy. Verena nailed it. For your holiday or any-day get-a-way call Dog Adventures Northwest. They have formed a strong bond with our pup, Rufus! Although they said he was smart and well-behaved, he didn't really pay that much attention to training. But the advice, games, and tips they gave us are helping our girls interact with Rufus in a positive way. Thank you Dog Adventures Northwest! I was very nervous to trust someone with our fur baby, not only just for a day adventure, but for adventure boarding as well. Mindy Cook has been fantastic with our boy, and he absolutely loves her! Our dog is a one year old Golden Retriever that is full of energy. He goes on a weekly adventure with Mindy, and comes home a very happy and sleepy boy! She always works with him on the adventure no jumping, recall, etc. It is great socialization for our young boy. We also had our dog adventure board with Mindy and her family. Her dog and ours were fast friends. He was able to stay in her home and be a member of her pack for a week. Mindy provided updates daily, and was very responsive to my text messages, etc. We will for sure use Mindy for adventure boarding in the future, and of course continue the weekly adventures! I highly recommend Dog Adventures NW! The trainers are amazing and provide wonderful experiences that are supporting his ongoing socialization and training. Amazing service for both me and my pup! I turned to them after I received a recommendation from a friend to help with my new puppy's training, and the service I received was even better than I could have hoped for. Dog Adventures Northwest trainers are caring, responsive, and detailed experts around puppy training. They really help to teach you how to get the best from your new puppy. I could not recommend highly enough! He always comes back so happy and tired from his adventures. Could not recommend more highly. Kerry and her crew are the best dog trainers and are fantastic to work with. We are SO happy, and so is our pup. Our two dogs, Walter and Henry, have had weekly adventures with Jaimie and Cyrus for years. They always return happy and exhausted. Their adventure leaders are just the best. I cannot praise her or Dog Adventures Northwest more highly. She not only took THE BEST care of our pups while we were away for two weeks, she spoiled them like WE do with love, snuggles, treats, walks, positive training, playtime.Thank you a million times over for the incredible care of our pups and our home while we were away. We are so grateful to have found you! It has been such a positive experience for her to socialize, gain confidence, and have a wild time. I recommend them to everyone we know. The adventures have improved his behavior and I know he looks forward to them. Duke also loves his pet sits with John when we go out of town. Duke has a sensitive stomach and lots of requirements but John does a fabulous job taking care of everything. And Boarding is so much fun we often joke that Duke doesn't want to come home! Thank you so much for taking such great care of Duke for us! We have a large, dog-reactive Rottweiler that we adopted who gets very excited to see other dogs. Cyrus has been great in working and training with us for a few weeks now and we have seen improvements. Cyrus is such a dedicated trainer; he is even working with us in his off-time to try to introduce Jasper to another Rottweiler in our neighborhood. Very impressed so far and I hope we can get to the point where Jasper can go on adventures as they look super fun. Now, we have a full-grown, high-energy pup who loves adventures! We joined Bobby's outdoor adventure group and it has been amazing. Our dog is over-the-moon excited when Bobby comes to pick her up each week. He takes the best action photos of her running, playing, swimming, and resting with friends. Bobby has been very communicative and lovely to work with. I fully trust him with Juniper. We have a tired and happy pup come home each week! Dog Adventures NW for the win! She is doing a wonderful job with our month-old Standard Poodle, Jasper. Jasper and Jess get out and about in different public settings to help with his socialization. We get frequent photo updates, and great training notes for continuing Jasper's progress at home. We couldn't be happier with the care and attention Jess and Dog Adventures Northwest is providing our family member. The trainers send updates and photos of your dog's adventures, so you don't feel like you've missed out on the day. The private training follow up notes are always clear and helpful. Absolutely love all the wonderful people that we've had a chance to work with! They have been very helpful for building my own confidence with training and socializing my puppy to new things and people. Kerry has also been wonderful. I can't wait for my puppy to be old enough to go on adventures with Dog Adventures Northwest! We highly recommend DANW. So grateful for this service and these incredible people! I have an Afghan hound which isn't the easiest breed to train, but Taylor was great at reading her body language and making suggestions for things to work on and different dog sports to try. I purchased a lesson package and it was definitely worth it to give us some skills, build confidence, and work to reduce reactivity. I learned a lot in one visit. No pressure to schedule another appointment. My dog responded very well to the training. I would definitely recommend Dog Adventures Northwest to friends and family and will use them again in the future. We have a special text-tone for Kerry and Lily always knows when she is on her way for an adventure! She hears it and happily runs right to the door. My dog Maggie goes out for her fun adventure twice a month. She knows when Hannah is due and can't wait to greet her. She always comes home exhausted, and I get to do a bunch of stuff knowing she is having a wonderful time. We get additional help with training and social behavior, as everyone there is so knowledgeable. They take our lovable meathead, Donnie Brasco, out to the river once a week while our two lady pugs tag along. Donnie has lots of energy, loves the water, and hates regular walks. I was so happy to find this service. John always sends pics of the adventure antics. We couldn't be happier with Dog Adventure Northwest. Definitely worth it! The difference all of these trainers made in his life can't even be quantified. My dog is a great dog but they helped make him an even better, more well behaved dog. My dog didn't have food drive, they helped him learn it. He didn't love training and lacked focus and they helped him learn how to focus on his handler. Dog Adventures Northwest is the only place I trust with my dog because I know they are very knowledgeable and responsible and communicative. It's an extreme help to know that I can leave my dog with a trainer that will teach my dog and provide a safe space and proper socialization at any time. I highly recommend Dog Adventures Northwest, its worth every dollar. I didn't think my dog would be going anywhere off-leash for a very, very long time, but Cyrus was great and found the perfect pack combination for him to be able to run free and get plenty of exercise. Now I have a happy, tired puppy and no worries when he's in the care of Dog Adventures Northwest. So glad we've found them. I was introduced to the owner of Dog Adventures Northwest, Kerry Ryan, at a housewarming party this past Summer and finally had an opportunity to reach out and utilize her services. I am so glad I did!!! She was extremely professional on the phone, answered all of our questions and was able to get us on the schedule quickly for hour care while we were away. She partnered us with Hannah who couldn't have taken better care of our pups. Hannah was super responsive, gave us daily updates and truly cared for our dogs while away. We will definitely be using them again! Don't know what our pup Lemon would do without her regular adventures. Can't recommend them highly enough! We were a little nervous about letting folks into our home while we were away for overnight stays initially. That fear was immediately resolved as Kerry's team of dog watchers and trainers were incredibly communicative, respectful, and flexible in getting us matched with the help we needed quickly. We've searched a long time for a dog sitting service whose people we could trust and are so happy to have found Dog Adventures. Thank you, Kerry, and thank YOU Jac for most recently staying overnight with our pups - They clearly loved the time with you! As first-time dog moms to a high-energy Vizsla pup who developed some dog-dog reactivity, we struggled to get Obi off-leash exercise in a safe way, especially since he tends to range and his recall was pretty spotty. We had tried other non-trainer-led solutions with too many dogs and not enough management and it created more issues than it solved. We were excited about the prospect of adventures being guided and managed by positive trainers with a small number of dogs. Cyrus gives thorough reports on how the day went, works with us to resolve any issues, is super communicative and flexible, and works really hard to make sure all the dogs have a great time. Do your pup a favor and sign up for an adventure! We left our young, energetic, and sensitive male Vizsla with her for about a week for our first vacation in over a year. She took impeccable care of him and provided him with lots of enrichment, hikes, love, and rest. She sent us lots of photos and videos so we could see what awesome things he was doing with her. Jess was excellent at making us feel comfortable that he would have good interactions with the other dogs, as he can be a bit dog-selective in who he likes to interact with. She has a great yard and house set up with lots of dog management tools in place, as needed. She also worked on some positive reinforcement training that we requested such as recall and calmness around other dogs. We will definitely board and train with Jess again! It was everything we could have asked her and more. Jess is a super nerd when it comes to dog training and is highly skilled at managing and training all types of dogs. We felt completely comfortable that Obi would not be put into situations that were overly stressful. Jess truly treats every dog in her care like her own. John is wonderful: so kind and communicative. Love all the pictures he sends throughout the adventure. Seger, our Pointer, gives it two paws up! Her trainers, Verena and Fernando, are wonderful with our high energy puppy, Winnow. The opportunity to swim, run, fetch, and play with her dog pack is one of the highlights of her week. She has had weekly adventures for months, with plans to continue indefinitely. Her recall has improved noticeably since working with Verena and Fernando. The convenience of having Winnow picked up and dropped off, safely and reliably, is a huge plus. To top it off, we get helpful, regular feedback from Winnow's trainers after every session. We feel that it is money well spent on the training, exercise, and fun for our very active pup. I have a young, active, small lbs dog who needs a lot of cardio. As an alternative to doggy day care, my dog trainer recommended Dog Adventures Northwest's adventures as a means to tire her out in a consistently positive environment. She was absolutely right - the adventure days are the best! My pup gets out for much needed socialization and play time while gaining confidence in new environments and practicing safe off-leash behavior. I get an amazing e-mail narrative at the end of the session with fantastic and hilarious pictures. My dog races out the door with Jamie without ever looking back. I appreciate how hard Dog Adventures Northwest works to pair up dogs that will do well together. They bring her home exhausted, happy, and reasonably clean.I would highly recommend this service to anyone with a dog who loves the outdoors. I know what it's like to be scared to hire someone you don't know to take care of your baby. And that's what these guys are all about. That's their number one priority is making sure that your pet is safe and happy the entire time they are in their care. All these guys are certified in dog training, animal behavior, and animal CPR. I wouldn't trust my special needs dog with anyone else. Believe me, I'm very particular with my dogs needs, and these guys are on it. So grateful. He always comes back tired and happy! I highly recommend Dog Adventures Northwest! The trainers are outstanding and the adventures will put a big smile on your dog's face. I can't say enough about them, they helped me through a very difficult doggie transition. Tender lovin' hearts all around. I get photos and a report every day about my Mimi. It's a joy to know she is in their most competent hands while we are gone. Thank you everyone at Dog Adventures Northwest. Our dog, Mavis, absolutely loves the time she spends at Kerry's house and we appreciate boarding her in a warm, caring home versus a boarding facility. Along with her daily outdoor adventures to the river or running through the forest, Mavis enjoys spending her day playing with her buddies the resident dogs , lounging on the sofa with human friends, and roaming about the house. Mavis is treated with the same care and attention Kerry provides to her own dogs, with plenty of love and attention. While Mavis is in Kerry's care, we enjoy receiving our daily pictures and updates of our big, sweet girl. As a younger puppy, we also had Kerry do some puppy training sessions to help Mavis master some of her good canine citizen skills. Kerry shared some tips and tricks with us for exercises and training to do at home. Additionally, if she notices anything off about Mavis, she is sure to let us know and always gives us great advice. We're so grateful to have someone committed to the same level of care for our Mavis as we are. Dog Adventures Northwest came highly recommended as a solution from another great trainer at Doggy Business. I was transparent about my dog's past reactivity meeting new dogs and they listened and worked with us. I was so happy to not feel crazy when describing my dog's past issues. Right away, Verena was very understanding. This company can run pretty small and consistent dog groups, which was perfect for us. Their communication, billing, and scheduling system is great. Overall, my dog is exhausted after her outing and acts ready to party whenever she gets picked up. Highly recommend for exercise and building positive and well-supervised social play! Shawna, in particular, is fabulous and is now taking him out on all of his weekly outings. She really gets to know the dogs she works with so that she can individualize her interactions with them. He comes back each time with reinforced or new skills, and is even tired for awhile which for a young Vizsla is saying something. I highly recommend DANW! I wouldn't trust just anyone to care for our two guys. We use Dog Adventures Northwest for pet sitting and also for adventures. Kerry, the owner, is fantastic. I absolutely love her personality, as she is so easy to work with. She has wonderful customer service skills and does a great job in selecting the trainers that work with Dog Adventures Northwest. I have had a couple of last minute trips and she has always had me covered and gotten us the best trainers to take care of our two dogs. John has been our primary pet sitter and sole outdoor adventurer for our guys. He is awesome! When he shows up at the door, our dogs are ecstatic.When we go on trips, he stays in regular communication with us and gives us regular updates and sends tons of pics. He even spoils them with fun adventures to the dog park. We know our dogs are in good hands. Recently, Samuel has done a couple of pet sitting stays for us and we were extremely impressed. He took our dogs on 3 walks a day, each, and encouraged good behaviors such as impulse control when encountering other dogs. Not only was he pet sitting but he was doing some good training with our dogs! He also kept us updated very regularly and was very proactive about telling us when either of our dogs wasn't feeling well bad tummy. Samuel has excellent attention to detail and followed our care directions precisely when it came to caring for a bad tummy and our dog recovered very quickly. He was also cognizant of our dog who has a fear of loud noises. Both Samuel and John are very trustworthy and took great care of our homes while pet sitting. Our home was in the same condition if not cleaner than we left it! She would bark, growl, pull at her leash, and could not be calmed until the other dog was out of sight. Not fun! This behavior was something that I never had to deal with before and was at a complete loss as to what to do, so I started looking into classes and socialization opportunities. Unfortunately, by the time Bobby had been fully vaccinated, she was too old to enroll in most puppy socials, and I ended up being referred to Dog Adventures Northwest. I cannot overstate how thankful I am that I decided to start working with this wonderful company. We were matched up with a trainer and started the Day Training Program. Bobby clearly loves the training she is receiving because now I cannot open my front door without her getting excited, thinking that it's "time for school. Bobby is obviously more focused and more responsive to me on our walks and the best part of all.We had a pop quiz while out the other evening, when we found ourselves being approached by several dogs from all directions. I used our new techniques and all the dogs passed without a single bark from Bobby. I couldn't believe it. On the human side of things, Bobby's trainer has been fantastic to work with. She is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, great about fielding all my questions, provides useful feedback, and has pointed me toward extra resources to help reinforce the work that she is doing. Bobby loves to work with her! I am ecstatic about the results that I am seeing with my pup, and highly recommend Dog Adventures Northwest to anyone interested in professional dog services. Read: he listens when he wants to! Thankfully, trainer Jaime has the patience and energy to keep up with him. Babylon adores his weekly adventures with Jaime and a small crew of dogs. They've also taken care of him several times when we were out of town, and truly does treat him like one of the family. Other trainers have been excellent as well. This is a well-run business populated by experienced dog lovers. Highly recommend. We have an active breed requiring a lot of exercise both physically and mentally and were searching for a service that catered to our needs. Kerry, the owner, who is absolutely lovely, listened to our needs and has paired us with knowledgeable trainers who know their stuff when it comes to managing both individual and small groups of dogs. We hit the jackpot! Our dog always returns home from her adventure day happy and tired yay! The pick up and drop off service cannot be beat! These are folks who love what they do and it shows. We all look forward to adventure days and are grateful to Kerry for creating something so wonderful. We both work full time and having Jess take him out on adventures one to twice per week has been a lifesaver. She even comes to our house to pick him up! Plus, she has worked with us on his training so when she has him she can reinforce all those behaviors in a positive way. It's a win-win. Archer is always well cared for and we appreciate the communication. We never worry about a thing! If you are looking for a great group to help with your dog training and exercise needs, call Kerry and her team. Cassie is an incredible trainer and dog whisperer, and helped enormously in raising and training my yellow lab puppy. Jess is also stellar and extremely caring and dedicated. They are also fantastic people who care deeply about training and caring for dogs and are incredible resources. This is not your run-of-the-mill dog sitting and training outfit. Kerry has always been there when we needed care and support for our pup. I am so glad I found such a great company! Will they really work? Is it worth the money? The wonderful veterinary staff at Brooklyn Yard Veterinary Hospital recommended that I contact a trainer who happens to work with Dog Adventures Northwest and the rest is history! Working with Rosie, Kerry, and John, has been a dream. On long, rainy days when my kiddo doesn't want to go on a walk, John comes and takes him on an adventure and he comes home happy and tired! Did I mention Bailey is a puppy? A 50 lbs, 8-month-old, crazy puppy? It IS worth it to have these highly skilled and certified trainers work with your pets. They are trustworthy, friendly, and great to work with. They will even send you updates with photos and descriptions of what happened on the adventure. He would bark at almost anything that moved or made a sound. We trained him to loose-leash walk inside and in our backyard, but the minute we stepped out he would lose his focus. Hannah helped him learn how to shift focus from his distractions and back to her. This has helped tremendously with his loose-leash walking. He can now go on walks with barely any distractions and he barks far less than before for the most part.She recently worked on his recall which was an incredible bonus that we got to test out successfully at the beach. We are so grateful for Hannah and Dog Adventures Northwest. Will we will be using their services again! He started out with a puppy nanny and then moved to adventure walks. They have helped him socialize and kept him exercised for that entire time. Our vet has commented on his health and we don't have to put up with a bored puppy too much. Baugi gets excited every time Peter comes to pick him up and waits eagerly by the door. The small groups are a lot easier on him than playing in big groups and he loves to get out in the water. We also get a ton of great photos of our doofus having fun. Raising a giant puppy has been a lot easier with the help of Dog Adventures Northwest. I knew it would be great for the pup, but it's been great for us too! They've taken our energetic Husky puppy on adventures, given him mental stimulation and training sessions plus lots of snuggles and love. They are easy to work with, have fair policies, and there's an awesome app that makes scheduling, payment, and sharing photos super easy. We had Baz stay with Jess as part of the Board and Learn program and we didn't for one second worry about him or what bad habits he could be learning from a cheap dog sitter. We are excited that Baz can grow up attending adventures with Jess as his nanny! My doggo has extremely high anxiety and letting new humans into his trusted pack is difficult. When I first started working with DANW three years ago, John showed patience and flexibility in building trust with my dog. When my dog began struggling with his play regulation, John was again able to find adaptive ways to help him keep learning and exploring safely. Dog Adventures Northwest entered into our lives, and suddenly we have a dog that gets complimented on his manners at the park or in a dog-friendly shop. Dog Adventures Northwest helps bridge the gap between us and our animal, and they are able to do this in small bites that we can easily incorporate into our day to make training.We highly recommend them and cannot say enough positive things about how they approach teaching you and your companion! The owner, Kerry, is so kind, professional, and knowledgeable. She paired us with the perfect trainer for our new puppy, based on our needs and situation. Kate, our trainer, was incredible and our puppy loves her. He is always so excited to see her and sad to say goodbye. We have done a mix of basic training and socialization, including puppy Day Camp with Hannah who is amazing as well. My pup learned a lot and had so much fun. The knowledge I have gained is valuable as I continue to reinforce my Bogey's behavior at home. I'm looking forward to future adventures with DANW! Our dog was very hesitant about leaving the house and getting into someone else's car. After a few adventures, though, he fell in love with his handler and truly looks forward to his outings with her. He knows the days he's going to be picked up and listens very carefully to the sound of the gate opening. He rushes to the door where his trainer picks him up, and doesn't greet any other human like he greets her. Our older dog is now going out with them as well. I highly recommend their great services and the love they put into each dog within their care. Cassie eagerly awaited her arrival on training days, and was always sorry to see Clara leave. Clara was reliable, punctual, and friendly yet professional in her communications with us, before and after every session. She is well qualified in gentle, upbeat, affirming, positive training techniques, and she clearly loves her work. I recommend them enthusiastically! She can hardly contain herself when it's time for her to go with the trainer. Some days she comes home a little muddy, some days a little wet, but she is always delivered back to us happy and exhausted. Besides that, we even get a report and photos. It's like sending our fur baby to day camp, and she and we couldn't love the experience any more. Here's why: We have one very friendly dog, and one super-fearful-of-strangers dog who barks at pretty much any person who's not in the family. While planning a ski trip weekend, we decided to go with an in-home sitter, figuring a familiar setting would give him a better chance at success. We had our sitter, Phillip, meet Cider the scaredy pup prior to our weekend away twice. Cider was fearful and barking the first time, but relaxed a little bit the second time and Phillip was wonderful. He figured he would be able to make things work, and he was right. By the third day of his stay with Cider and Posey, Cider had stopped barking at Phillip, and would cuddle near him on the couch. Our dog is a very challenging assignment, and Phillip handled him brilliantly. We will definitely be using DANW in the future and already have an appointment set with a trainer to work with Cider on reducing his fear. She squirms with delight when Clara comes to pick her up, and her recall is getting better each week. She comes home a very tired and happy pup! Communication with Clara, the trainer, and Kerry, the owner, is very easy and responsive. They both have been wonderful to work with. Clara sends an update and great photos after each outing. They are a very trustworthy and caring company. I highly recommend DANW. Verena was great with my dog. I learned a lot from her, and it was a great experience in general. I notice a big difference in my dog's behavior when I use the tools Verena has given me! Jess sends me updates with video and photos and it's clear my pup is getting more stimulation and exercise than she could with me and two little kids in tow. She's swimming, running, working on recall, and playing with other dogs. Diga the dog squeals with delight when Jess' truck pulls into our driveway to pick her up. Jess is definitely a pro with super drivey dogs. There are only a few people I'd trust with my crazy pup but Jess is definitely at the top. The backend of Dog Adventures Northwest is also a smooth operation with transparent billing and fair cancellation policies. Do yourself and your dog a favor and book an adventure with these guys! Dog Adventures Northwest set up a meet and greet with us to help ensure they could provide the right services with the right trainer and pack. Dingo is incredibly shy even with people he knows, so it was important to us that Dingo have continuity with his "people. Dingo also has a back-up trainer he sees at Thursday adventures, so if Jamie isn't available, Dingo still knows the person who will be caring for him. Dingo can't wait to see them - he watches for Jamie coming up the walk even on non-hiking days. He runs to the door to greet them so they can have a quick snuggle and jump in the car so he can see his friends. They communicate and share pictures often, which is great especially when we are away. We can't say enough great things about Jamie and Dog Adventures Northwest. We highly recommend them and can't imagine not having them in our lives. We have been using them since we moved to Portland a couple months ago. Jamie has been hiking our buddy Dingo once a week and he always comes back worn out and happy. She sends us lots of photos of him having fun on the trail with other dogs and provides a report for how he did. Is it grade inflation when he always gets A's? Nah, I think he is just that good. They do overnight dog sitting as well, and Jamie has taken Dingo when we are both out of town. We trust her completely with him! Her leash reactivity and ability to refocus was much improved from the sessions. They also took my pup on adventures with other dogs to bond and have play time. Skip the big apps and book with Dog Adventures Northwest! The Adventures through Dog Adventures Northwest have been wonderful for him. He gets to run off-leash with other dogs under the watchful eye of a kind and knowledgeable trainer. Cyrus our wonderful trainer is helping our dog learn good recall skills and allows Enzo to burn off lots of energy. The pickup and drop off service make this so easy for us! Cyrus always has him cleaned up enough to come in the house without muddy paws. How does he do that? I also really like their scheduling app and weekly communication regarding our dog's adventure. I love this company! Hannah really helped me understand what my puppy was thinking and what motivates him in various behaviors. She helped me a lot with leash walking, especially when she walked behind us and coached as we went along. I appreciated her knowledge, encouragement, and great follow up emails, complete with wonderful photographs. A good trainer needs to be creative and assess what a puppy needs in every situation. Hannah is an excellent improviser and I could tell that she really enjoys and loves her canine clients! We have a high-energy, smart puppy who needs a task to stay focused. These adventures are perfect. They allow for great socialization with a small cohort of dogs while also taking them to a variety of new location and experiences. The dogs are allowed to roam and explore while still have basic training reinforced in a distraction filled environment. The staff is caring and passionate about what they do and treat the dogs like their own. Every time our dog sees John, Taylor, Fernando, or U. We feel so lucky to have found this company and look forward to seeing the photos of our pup each week enjoying the fun. Thank you, Dog Adventures Northwest. We worked with Verena for Board and Learn for our month-old Goldendoodle. Our pup got great socialization by living in Verena's home with her cats and dogs, in addition to daily formal positive reinforcement training sessions and amazing adventures swimming at the beach, hikes, parks, and more. It really helped our dog build up her confidence and become more comfortable in new environments. Her recall is fantastic now too. The Board and Learn helped establish a solid foundation, and Verena gave us the tools we need to manage and build on it moving forward. Both Verena and the owner, Kerry, were extremely responsive and flexible. They are true dog lovers who are passionate about humane care and training. Your dog will have a blast! I had recently been working too many hours to give Kyrie the mental and physical stimulation she needed and deserved. Dog Adventures Northwest was referred to me, and after chatting with the owner, Kerry Ryan, I met the certified dog trainer who would take Kyrie for a trial adventure. I decided to chance it, and really, I have never looked back. Kyrie adores all of them, slightly losing her mind when any of them arrive outside my door. I have come to trust all of the trainers - especially the integrity, care and concern of Kerry - completely. In the last year of adventures there have been house alarms set off and a beehives dogs have gotten into. The alarms were disabled with calm and good cheer, while the beehive was handled with selfless bravery with no harm to the dogs. This carries over into rain adventures, snow adventures, and even figuring out how to keep Kyrie from eating obnoxious things by finding her the perfect ball to hold in her mouth. That doesn't even cover the joy I get from the beautiful photos of Kyrie and her friends I receive right after every adventure. The reports include photos, a funny but complete description of the adventure that day, and the interaction between Kyrie and her pack mates. Kerry and Dog Adventures Northwest have immeasurably added to the quality of both Kyrie's life and mine. She chooses her staff and runs her business with the utmost integrity. I have rarely been involved with any service provider whom I trust so implicitly and would recommend so wholeheartedly. Kyrie adds, "Woof!! What an amazing service. She goes on twice weekly adventures with the amazing Cyrus. She has the best time while out in amazing nature settings with a small group of dog buddies. She comes home very happy and exhausted. They have convenient scheduling, communication, and billing through their online portal. Tons of pics and a pet report after each adventure. Trainers will let you know about estimated pick-up and drop off time - this service is dialed. Super happy with the other trainers we have used as well and it's obvious they all love their job. Great communication with the owner, Kerry. She will work with you to find the best fit for your dog. Can't say enough great things about DANW. Kerry, Jess, and all of the other trainers there are serious about lovin and adventuring your dog! When I first got my puppy, we tried 3 different trainers at different companies, other classes, etc. They just didn't compare. The quality of the adventures and the trainers is just exceptional. Kerry is super on it if there needs to be a substitute, scheduling, or invoicing change. My dog lives an enchanted life with Dog Adventures Northwest while we are at work. Big thanks to DANW. The kind that treat their dogs like their children and best friends and are totally surprised when they meet someone who doesn't want to get down on their knees and pet them. Millie comes with me everywhere I go including to work , so those times when I can't be with my girl, I am so grateful for Dog Adventures Northwest. I actually knew John before I knew about Dog Adventures Northwest - we were both regulars who walked our dogs on the Columbia River and our repeated interactions painted a clear story about his level of care and attentiveness. Even if there are no other cars there, all the dogs have to follow the leash routine of getting in and out of his Wind Star. He always has his pouch of treats and consistently rewarded the pups during the walk rather than just at the beginning or end. What sealed the deal for me? I never saw him on his phone. He wasn't texting and chatting or surfing the web. He was paying attention to his client's dogs. In fact, on Millie's first day with John he texted me some pics and my first reaction was shock because I had never seen him use it! If you are questioning working with them, don't. Go for it. Trust is priceless and Kerry runs a great business! Their portal to set up appointments and payments is super easy to use. I've been booking the Board and Learn service for the last 6 months and now I have transitioned over to Boarding! The services are impeccable! Kerry and her team at Dog Adventures Northwest are fantastic. I have been nothing but impressed by how much they have gone out their way to accommodate my puppy, Milo. Do not hesitate to book any of the services available. I couldn't recommend the team enough! There is consistent communication, putting your mind at ease while you're away traveling! I've absolutely loved the team they have shout out to Jess! My girl feels it's her duty to protect the neighborhood and let me know about every small change to my neighbor's yards and houses like garbage cans, new soil deliveries, or car toys out in the driveways. I really can't recommend them enough! We, like most folks, have busy, full lives so we knew when we got our Goldendoodle as a puppy we'd need some support to make sure she was safe and had a great time, even while we are traveling or had long days at work. When she was a puppy with skills to learn, she did Board and Learn while we went on vacation, and learned how to better walk on a leash she was a big puller! Our trainer not only greatly reduced the pulling, but also suggested the PERFECT harness and helpful training tools we could continue to implement at home. Now that she's older, she goes on one scheduled adventure a week with Cyrus and gets to romp and play with a small group of other dogs. I love that Dog Adventures Northwest is careful to pair dogs with complimentary personalities and play styles! Safety is an obvious priority for them. She always comes home SO happy and tired. When her adventure leader comes to pick her up, you can tell it's her best friend in the whole world! Thinking about it actually makes me tear up - she just loves him and their adventures so much. We honestly couldn't ask for more and couldn't have our beloved fur baby without them! We moved to Portland in September, and found them when we were looking for a trainer for our then very young, slightly anxious puppy. Kate worked with him on resetting his basic training and then onto socialization sessions. He loved his time with Kate so much that we signed him up for weekly off-leash adventures we've used Jaime, Verena, Mindy, Simone, and Clara , and they're just amazing for him!! He comes home tired, happy, and hungry. Which makes for very happy puppy parents. Amazing service, amazing communication, and seriously amazing photos of our tiny sausage having the time of his life. Since then, my dog has made a degree turn - she's now a well adjusted puppy through private lessons and specialized socialization training. I am so glad I reached out to this company, and we will continue to use their services. They were very responsive from the beginning and teamed us up with Hannah Davidson and Jess Lara, both great trainers. My puppy transformed in the sessions, becoming more confident. I learned so much about dog behavior and was able to ask all of my questions - we can't wait to continue using their services. Bonus: they have an easy portal to track and pay for services and send messages. Trainers Cyrus and Ellaree have been taking our 1-year-old Pittie mix out for adventures three times a week and it's been a wonderful experience for all of us. They always take plenty of great photos and video of our pup romping around at the beach or in the woods. They've been working on her recall, obedience training, settling down around other dogs, and a host of other skills with her. Thank you DANW!! Can't recommend them highly enough. At first, my husband and I were very hesitant to let our fur baby out of sight and off leash. The trainers were so sweet, caring, and reassuring. They literally taught our sweet pup to stay off leash near a trainer at all times. Our pup struggled with positive interactions with other dogs. We can't even contain her long enough to get her leash on when she sees trainer John. This place is the best! The staff is absolutely wonderful, very friendly and easy to work with. The trainers are very professional, attentive and knowledgeable to my dog's needs and training routines. I know my dog is in good hands when he is out on his adventures. I have been with this company for 6 months now and absolutely love the service. When Jamie comes to the door to pick Samson up, he is full of excitement and they are full of love for him! Samson comes home with the biggest smile on his face and you can tell he has had the best day. I also get a message after his adventures with the day's recap and some great photos of my dog on his outing. I love the pick up and drop off service as it makes it very convenient! If I am not home for pick up and or drop off, I have a spare key outside so Samson does not miss his day out. I fully trust Jamie with access to the key as they are very reliable and honest. His leash is always put back where I keep it and she makes sure the TV is left on for him as he is one spoiled boy. I highly recommend this company as Kerry the owner has put her heart and soul into creating an incredible brand. I trust my dog with them weekly and when we go away. She has had nothing but super positive experiences. They have turned on a dime to accommodate us, and my dog comes back to me happy and tired. She's well adjusted but when we tried to use a doggy day care, she came back stressed out. This experience has been night and day. Kerry, the owner, bent over backwards to quickly find a group for our pup, Siggy, when we were struggling with separation anxiety. Everyone has been super accommodating of our schedules, and they communicate quickly and efficiently using the app. Siggy started going on adventures this fall. He adores Jamie and absolutely loves going on adventures with the three other dogs in his group. How do we know? Jamie sends us the most fabulous pictures of Siggy having fun playing with the other dogs. We appreciate Jamie's demeanor with dogs, and love that they use positive reinforcement to train recall and good behavior during the adventure. We are grateful for the exercise, stimulation, socialization, and love that Siggy gets on his adventures. The owner and trainers at DANW are all trained, or training, in positive reinforcement techniques which are critical to building confidence in a young, sensitive dog. They have helped our dog truly love his time adventuring with his small, curated pack.

Its chest is broad and thick, and the head is in a square form. This hybrid has a short muzzle with a slight underbite. It can come in different colors or a combination of colors. These dogs are very energetic, playful, and loving but may also be stubborn at times. It is very loyal to and protective of its owner and will do anything to protect them from harm. You will have to show it a lot of love and affection for you to get the same from it. Although they are generally very friendly with others, you will have to train them consistently and socialize them early. If not properly socialized, they may become aggressive to those they think are threats. They enjoy playing around with their owners so it would be best to bring them out to do exercises from time to time. It needs to spend its energy on physical activities, or else they can become destructive at home. Never let them get bored or leave them all alone in your house because you might have to clean up a lot of destroyed objects when you get back. They are also prone to suffer from separation anxiety. Bulloxers are quick learners, but when your Bulloxer becomes stubborn, you will have to establish your dominance on it to make it listen to your commands. It is very strong-willed, so you have to be very confident when you are dealing with it in training. One thing you have to know about is that this hybrid often produces sounds and smell from multiple orifices on their body. Bulldog Combined with Boxer Puppies for Sale If you are sure that a Bulldog Boxer Mix is the right dog for you, then you have to find a reliable and reputable breeder. Nowadays, it is tough to find a breeder that you can fully trust. It is highly essential to get your puppy from a legitimate breeder since the way they were treated and raised to that point may have a significant impact on its personality, behavior, and as well as its health. There are thousands of breeders all over the globe, but only a few thousands of these are trustworthy. In selecting a dog breeder, you have to assess and analyze a lot of factors. You should visit their facility and see the space in which the dogs are kept in and check out what kind of food they are feeding the dogs. Try to assess the care and attention the breeders put into both the parent dogs and the puppies. You make sure that the breeders are knowledgeable about the hybrid, Boxer combined with Bulldog. There is no strict schedule that you have to follow. You only need to bathe your Bulldog Boxer when they are dirty. It is also not good to shower them often since it will affect the natural oils they have on their skin. Make sure to wipe its ears from time to time. Bulldog Combined with Boxer Health Problems Overall, a Bulloxer is quite a healthy crossbreed for its size and is not likely to suffer from many health issues. However, they are prone to obesity, which is why you have to regulate their food intake. A few Boxer Bulldog dogs have been known to develop different kinds of cancer, but it is rare for this to happen. Although they are not inclined to contracting many diseases, it is still essential to bring your pet to the vet frequently to have a general check-up. Here is a list of common canine ailments that they may suffer from throughout their lives: Hip Dysplasia — This is a common occurrence in dogs of this size. Because they are heavy, their joints have a tougher job in supporting their bodies. This condition will bring your pet a lot of pain, which is why you can opt for your Bulloxer to get surgery to correct it. Bloat — The cause of this disease is unknown. As soon as your Bulloxer exhibits symptoms such as shortness of breath, bring him to the vet immediately. Epilepsy — This term is used to describe multiple episodes of seizures. The most common cause of seizure in a dog is idiopathic epilepsy, which is usually a genetical predisposition, but there is no exact cause known. Your pet may not feel pain during an epileptic episode but will feel confused and may panic. Try to observe your dog, and if it has more than one seizure per month, then you have to get treatment from a veterinarian. Boxer Bulldog Mix Food Requirements The Boxer Bulldog is a larger than average dog, and it will require three to four cups of dry dog food daily. Try to avoid feeding your pet one big meal and instead divide the amount of dog food into two separate meals because Bulloxers are prone to bloating. Make sure that you give it dog food of high quality and one that contains all the nutrients it will need in a day. Remember to check all the ingredients in the dog food before purchasing them. Choose the product that has nutritional additives such as vitamins and minerals to keep your pet healthy. Since this crossbreed is likely to suffer from joint issues and pain, try to find food that has chondroitin and glucosamine. Do not buy products that contain unknown meat-meals or byproducts and those that contain various unnecessary additives like dyes. These dyes usually trigger food allergies of the dogs. It also contains different kinds of healthy fruits and vegetables such as pear, spinach, green, carrots, and blueberries. Nulo Adult Salmon and Peas This dog food has deboned salmon, turkey meal, and chicken meal as its protein source. This product leaves out any ingredient that may trigger allergies. It also does not have any grains, corn, wheat gluten, soy, artificial additives, colors, or flavors. It provides a balanced diet for all dogs. Also, it does not contain any soy or fillers, such as grain and gluten. You would not have to worry about your dog missing any nutrition because this dog food has all the nutritious ingredients that a Bulldog Boxer needs. Bulldog Boxer Mix Exercise Requirements Because this hybrid is very playful and enthusiastic, they will become very energetic inside the house, which is why you need to allow it to spend its energy outside through physical activities such as walking, jogging, or running. It loves stimulating its brain, so try to have them go through obstacles set up in your backyard from time to time. Your Bulloxer will need at least minutes of exercise per day. Be careful not to overwork and exhaust your pet because it might have breathing problems. You can utilize different types of toys and kinds of activities. Tennis balls are one of the toys that Bulloxers enjoy playing with the most. They love running around and fetching these balls, but after a couple of times of throwing, your arm will get very worn out. This device allows you to play with your pet companion for an extended period without wearing out your muscles. Boxer combined with Bulldog dogs have no problems with playing by themselves. Although they want you to participate in their playtime, they are still happy getting preoccupied with a toy. This toy is perfect for when you are suddenly too busy to play with your furry friend physically. It is a very sturdy ball and also glows in the dark, which makes it very attractive to your Bulloxer. This product is shaped like a football and is perfect for a game of fetch. It has deep ridges, which make it easy for dogs to pick up and carry. Your pet may play with this toy in the pool since it floats in water. Also, it comes in bright colors, thus, increasing its visibility. Boxer Combined with Bulldog Training Your Boxer Bulldog Mix dog is generally quick to train since it is smart and a fast learner, but they may, at times, be stubborn. Bulloxers have an independent trait, so they will do whatever they want to do if they feel like you are less confident. When you are dealing with this hybrid, you have to establish your dominance throughout the training session. There are two essential pieces of training that you have to do with your Boxer Bulldog, namely: Clicker Training. It utilizes positive reinforcement techniques. Researchers have proven that this method works exceptionally well for Bulloxers. Because Bulldog Boxer dogs are sometimes headstrong, harsh training techniques will not work and would bring about bad behavior. You should follow a click-treat-click-treat pattern so that your dog will understand that the sound of the clicker is associated with getting a reward. Do not let the pet see your clicker. House training. You have to establish a schedule for your pet to play, eat, and to go potty. This training is essential to maintain peace inside the home. Boxer Crossed with Bulldog and Families Bulloxers are excellent family dogs because they are very affectionate and very protective of their owners. They have a high sense of awareness of their surroundings and can be aggressive when they perceive something as a threat. This piece of information is vital to those who are looking for guard dogs. They are playful and enthusiastic, which is why they will also get along with children. Usually, these dogs are very patient with kids, but you might not want to leave them alone with very small offsprings. If you ever decide on getting a Boxer Bulldog mix as your furry companion, expect to feel more warmth and happiness in your household and your life. Life Span Did You Know? Although a mixed-breed dog can inherit any combination of characteristics from one or both of their parent breeds, a Valley Bulldog tends to be playful, energetic, loyal, and loving. Although they are not recognized by the American Kennel Club, they are recognized by other notable dog organizations. A Valley Bulldog is a playful, energetic dog with a cheerful, upbeat personality. They love to play and love even more to spend time with their favorite humans. They tend to get along well with children and other dogs. But, they are large exuberant dogs, so they can accidentally knock over young children in their excitement. This can make them a better fit for families with older children, but they can do well with younger children as long as playtime is supervised. They can have a high prey drive. As such, they will need extra socialization and training when it comes to other smaller pets in the household. They tend to be initially wary of strangers, but also tend to warm up quickly once introduced. The Valley Bulldog is a moderately adaptable dog breed. Although they can adapt to apartments and larger homes as long as they get enough exercise, they are a brachycephalic dog breed. This makes them more sensitive to heat and also to the cold. Valley Bulldogs also thrive on attention from their families and do not like to be left alone for long periods of time. As a mixed-breed dog, a Valley Bulldog can sometimes inherit none of the health conditions common to their parent breeds. But, this is not a guarantee as they still have a chance of inheriting conditions common to one of both of them. For the Valley Bulldog, potential health conditions to be aware of include hip dysplasia and eye problems. Reputable breeders will screen their dogs to avoid passing preventable issues on to puppies. So, make sure you ask about the health and genetic history of both of the parents. You can also ask to see results or clearances from any health tests that have been done. These dogs are also prone to weight gain, having allergies, sensitive skin, and a sensitive digestive system. As a brachycephalic dog breed, they are also at a higher risk for respiratory issues. The Valley Bulldog is also one of the dog breeds at-risk for bloat. Bloat in dogs can become dangerous quickly if the stomach flips gastric torsion. Although the Valley Bulldog tends to pick up on things and can be easy to train, they can also be stubborn and they do require firm consistent training. This can be a challenge at times for a first-time dog owner, but puppy training classes can help. Not only do these classes help reinforce training and strengthen the bond you have with your puppy, but they also often offer opportunities to socialize a puppy. A Valley Bulldog coat tends to be short and smooth. They will shed a little year-round. Wrinkles can trap dirt and moisture, which can irritate the skin. Regularly checking wrinkles and wiping them clean can help prevent skin irritation and keep your dog comfortable. This keeps them from growing too long and causing issues with movement or getting snagged on things. Additionally, practicing good dental care for dogs , like brushing teeth or using an enzyme toothpaste every day, can help prevent painful dental diseases later in life. Although Valley Bulldogs can range from a moderate to high activity level, they often end up being high-energy dogs. They require daily walks plus plenty of playtime and other activities to be happy and healthy. But, as a snub-nosed dog brachycephalic , they can overheat easily, so you need to keep an eye on them, especially in hotter temperatures. There are plenty of ways to safely exercise flat-faced dogs ; you just need to watch for signs of overheating or overexertion and give them a break. A fully-grown Valley Bulldog tends to stand inches tall and weigh pounds. Valley Bulldogs generally live for years on average. The Valley Bulldog is also sometimes called a Bullboxer. Currently, we do not have any Valley Bulldog puppies available, but we can alert you when new Valley Bulldog puppies are available! Just enter your email address and click submit!

Customer Reviews.

About Us Hi there! I'm Muriel Tootie, my husband Brion and our son Garrett are the humans who raise your forever best Doodle friend! We have a very small program, no more than females as, well, there are only 3 of us! As we refuse to implement guardian homes and choose to do it all ourselves, this is the way it will always be! Brion is a proud former Captain in the Air Force and a Disabled Veteran and he and Garrett are the reason we do what we do. We absolutely, positively devoted, and our lives revolve around our puppies and dogs. It isn't a conventional life, but, we love it! We have been around for longer than the "minute"! We aren't young, we aren't particularly into the newest fads, and there are several fads in breeding. We do our research still and are diligent on being up on the "know" of actual things important to producing extremely healthy, sociable, well bred babies. Breeding is an ongoing educational experience. And, like in all things there is always something new to learn. We are very non-salesman, very transparent, very direct and very devoted to our dogs and puppies. We began by breeding American Labrador Retrievers years ago, they proved to be a working therapy for Brion, and Garrett, who was diagnosed with autism as a toddler. The therapeutic evidence a dog has with children with autism to help them improve social interactions and relationships, expand verbal and nonverbal communication, teach life skills, has been irrefutably proven here in our home. We chose to begin breeding F1 and F1b Labradoodles and Bernedoodles, after meeting several of these unique, quirky, happy and SUPER intelligent characters through other families with children on the autism spectrum. Now we're obsessed! Labradoodle puppies for sale in Missouri, chocolate Labradoodle puppies for sale. Puppies shipped to all continental USA states We love our babies, and so will you! No fear that your puppy comes from a dog we bought from a random breeder artificially conceived by a random donor and have to prove health and heritage, we raised their parents and grandparents!! Providing our Doodle puppy families with the support they should be able to expect by being available by phone or email NEVER.We eat breath and sleep puppies and dogs. We have repeat customers with 2, 3 and even 4 of our puppies in their home. Because we are dedicated to raising superior quality, guaranteed healthy, well adjusted, intelligent and beautiful puppies. We love them and this devotion is apparent in our puppies. Because of this our puppy families love us! We love our wonderful red, black, chocolate, cream and parti doodle puppies, and so will you! Nothing beats our Doodles! Powered by GoDaddy This website uses cookies. We use cookies to analyze website traffic and optimize your website experience.

They are our family pets. Because we begin with a Labradoodle and a Poodle, rather than a Lab and a Poodle, our puppies are much more likely to have the non-shedding Poodle coat. A F1b Labradoodle has been back-crossed to a poodle in an effort to insure a non-shedding coat. Even though most f1b Labradoodles shed very little or not all, it is impossible to guarantee that any dog even doodles or purebred poodles will not shed at all. Hypo- means less hypothermia is having a lower than normal body temperature. No dog can be said to be completely non-allergenic. Studies have shown that doodles are less likely to cause allergies, particularly f1b doodles. The ideal is to keep as much of the Lab head shape and super-friendly personality as possible while getting the non-shedding Poodle coat as well as the dignified, less vocal characteristics of the Poodle. Our Labradoodle methodology is quite simple. First, we get quality dogs. This is why we wanted to have pick of the litter for our Labradoodle and our Poodle and why we only obtained puppies from reputable breeders that we knew we could trust. Second, we try to treat our dogs Labradoodle and Poodle well. We feed our Labradoodle and Poodle high quality food with plenty of protein, and give them wonderful socialization and opportunities for exercise. We have 12 acres along the Enoree River with trails, additional property next to a Greenville state park, and property on Lake Hartwell giving us the opportunity to take the dogs kayaking. We recognize the importance of socializing young Labradoodle puppies so they will not be fearful as they mature. Our Labradoodle puppies have lots of opportunities to play with our children, and water games are definitely on top of the list. Labradoodles love the water and so do my kids, as you can see below. Third, we try to find appropriate families for our Chocolate Labradoodle puppies. To learn more about our process, check out this resource that gives a step-by-step guide between the application to receiving your puppy! A Chocolate Labradoodle or mini Labradoodle is not for everyone, and a puppy is not for everyone. If your family is not prepared for a Labradoodle puppy financially, time investment, etc. When can you get your puppy? Because we have only one Labradoodle mother and a couple guardian homes , puppies are available only occasionally. Contact us nathan crockettdoodles. We have a flexible waiting list and offer your deposit back if we do not have the ideal Labradoodle puppy for you within a certain window of time. Sometimes with mini Labradoodles we prefer to wait until they are a little older than 8 weeks because accidents tend to happen more easily with really small puppies. We will take several pictures of you with your Labradoodle puppy. We will send you the pictures for free place them on a USB thumb drive for you , and you will have full copyright privileges to all of the pictures to use at your discretion. You have the option of whether or not the photos appear here on the ChocolateLabradoodlePuppies. Although we never ship puppies, we will sometimes personally deliver puppies for a reasonable fee.

Although a playful pup sounds endearing, consider how many games of fetch or tag you want to play each day, and whether you have kids or other dogs who can stand in as playmates for the dog. Click here for more information on this characteristic French Bulldog Overview Bat-eared but oddly beautiful, the French Bulldog has a unique appeal. Aesthetically, other breeds undeniably are more glamorous and showy, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder and what many behold in the French Bulldog are the attributes that make this breed one of the best companion dogs in the world today. The French Bulldog is small but substantial in build with a powerful muscular body. He sports a short easy-care coat to accompany his easygoing personality. The Frenchie likes to play, but he also enjoys spending his days relaxing on the sofa. That love of play and relaxed attitude carry over into their training sessions. French Bulldogs are intelligent, and training them is easy as long as you make it seem like a game and keep it fun. They are free thinkers and are not an ideal breed for competing in obedience or agility although some have risen to the challenge. This freethinking approach can also lead to a stubborn nature, and if they decide to dig in their heels there is no budging them. Frenchies are loving companions who thrive on human contact. If you want an outdoor dog who can be left alone for long periods, the Frenchie is not the breed for you. This is a dog who enjoys lavishing love on his human companions as much as he loves the same treatment in return. They generally get along well with everyone, including children. They can, however, be territorial and possessive of their people, especially in the presence of other dogs. Socialization is a must for this breed, but with their easy companionship this is an enjoyable task. With a nature that is both humorous and mischievous, the French Bulldog needs to live with someone who is consistent, firm, and patient with all the antics and idiosyncrasies that make him both frustrating and delightful. They can be protective of their home and family and some will try to defend both with their life. French Bulldogs do not need a lot of room and do very well in apartments or small dwellings. A couple of minute walks per day should keep them from becoming overweight. Keep the Frenchie in cool, comfortable surroundings. This is not a dog who can stay outside on a hot day. French Bulldogs are wonderful companion dogs with a gentle nature. If you work at home, the Frenchie is happy to lie at your feet all day or follow you from room to room.

The dogs were prized for their gentle nature and their ability to adapt to cramped living quarters.

Hip dysplasia can exist with or without clinical signs. Some dogs exhibit pain and lameness on one or both rear legs. As the dog ages, arthritis can develop. Dogs with hip dysplasia should not be bred. Ask the breeder for proof that the parents have been tested for hip dysplasia and found to be free of problems. Brachycephalic Syndrome : This disorder is found in dogs with short heads, narrowed nostrils, or elongated or soft palates. Their airways are obstructed to varying degrees and can cause anything from noisy or labored breathing to total collapse of the airway. Dogs with brachycephalic syndrome commonly snuffle and snort. Treatment varies depending on the severity of the condition but includes oxygen therapy as well as surgery to widen nostrils or shorten palates. Allergies: Allergies are a common problem in dogs. The medication for inhalant allergies depends on the severity of the allergy. It is important to note that ear infections often accompany inhalant allergies. Hemivertebrae: This is a malformation of one or more vertebrae that causes it to be shaped like a wedge or triangle. This malformation can occur on its own or with other vertebrae malformations. Hemivertebra can cause no problems, or it can put pressure on the spinal cord. This can lead to pain, weakness, and or paralysis. There is no treatment for the condition unless there is spinal cord pressure. It is caused when the patella, which has three parts — the femur thigh bone , patella knee cap , and tibia calf — is not properly lined up and slips in and out of place luxates. This causes lameness or an abnormal gait the way the dog moves. The rubbing caused by patellar luxation can lead to arthritis, a degenerative joint disease. There are four grades of patellar luxation ranging from grade I, an occasional luxation causing temporary lameness in the joint, to grade IV, in which the turning of the tibia is severe and the patella cannot be realigned manually. This gives the dog a bowlegged appearance. Severe grades of patellar luxation may require surgical repair. When the disc pushes into the spinal cord, nerve transmissions are inhibited from traveling along the spinal cord. Intervertebral Disc Disease can be caused by trauma, age, or simply from the physical jolt that occurs when a dog jumps off a sofa. When the disc ruptures, the dog usually feels pain and the ruptured disc can lead to weakness and temporary or permanent paralysis. In some cases surgery can help, but it must be done within a day or so of the injury. You may also want to ask your veterinarian about physical rehabilitation. Treatments such as massage, water treadmills and electrical stimulation are available for dogs and can have excellent success. It affects the clotting process due to the reduction of von Willebrand factor in the blood. Occasionally blood is found in the stool. This disorder is usually diagnosed in your dog between the ages of 3 and 5 and cannot be cured. However, it can be managed with treatments that include cauterizing or suturing injuries, transfusions of the von Willebrand factor before surgery, and avoiding certain medications. Cleft Palate : The palate is the roof of the mouth and separates the nasal and oral cavities. It is made up of two parts, hard and soft. A cleft palate has a slit that runs bilaterally or unilaterally and can range in size from a small hole to a large slit. A cleft palate can affect both the hard and soft palate separately and together and may cause a cleft lip. Puppies can be born with cleft palates, or a cleft palate can occur from an injury. Cleft palates are fairly common in dogs, but many puppies born with a cleft palate do not survive or are euthanized by the breeder. The only treatment for a cleft palate is surgery to close the hole, although not all dogs with a cleft palate require the surgery. It is important to get a diagnosis and treatment recommendation from your veterinarian. Elongated Soft Palate: The soft palate is the extension of the roof of the mouth. When the soft palate is elongated, it can obstruct airways and cause difficulty in breathing. The treatment for Elongated Soft Palate is surgical removal of the excess palate. Health clearances prove that a dog has been tested for and cleared of a particular condition. You can confirm health clearances by checking the OFA web site offa. Regardless of how healthy your dog is when you first bring them home, you should prepare for any issues that may come up throughout their life. French Bulldog Care French Bulldogs do not need a lot of exercise. They have fairly low energy levels, although there are exceptions to every rule. To keep their weight down, however, they need daily exercise through short walks or play times in the yard. Many French Bulldogs enjoy playing and will spend much of their time in various activities, but they are not so high energy that they need a large yard or long periods of exercise. This breed is prone to heat exhaustion and should not be exercised in hot temperatures. Limit walks and active play to cool mornings and evenings. When training a French Bulldog, take into account that although they are intelligent and usually eager to please, they are also free thinkers. That means they can be stubborn. It is important to crate train your French Bulldog puppy even if you plan to give him the freedom of the house when he reaches adulthood. French Bulldog Feeding Recommended daily amount: 1 to 1. NOTE: How much your adult dog eats depends on his size, age, build, metabolism, and activity level. It almost goes without saying that a highly active dog will need more than a couch potato dog. For more on feeding your Frenchie, see our guidelines for buying the right food , feeding your puppy , and feeding your adult dog. The skin is loose and wrinkled, especially at the head and shoulders, and has a soft texture. French Bulldogs come in a variety of colors, including fawn, cream, various shades of brindle — a coat patterned with specks and streaks of light and dark markings — such as black brindle and the striking tiger brindle, and brindle and white, known as brindle pied. French Bulldogs can be any color except solid black, liver a solid reddish-brown with brown pigmentation on the lips and nose , mouse a light steely gray , and black with white or tan. Run from any breeder who tells you that a particular color is rare and thus worth more money. Having your heart set on a fawn female is a recipe for disappointment when the litter contains only cream and brindle males. French Bulldogs are fairly easy to groom and need only an occasional brushing to keep their coat healthy. They are average shedders. Begin grooming your Frenchie at a young age and teach your puppy to stand on a table or floor to make this experience easier on both of you. When you are grooming your Frenchie at any stage of life, take the time to check for any scabs, skin lesions, bare spots, rough, flaky skin, or signs of infections. You should also check ears, eyes and teeth for any discharge or bad smells. Both are signs that your Frenchie may need to see the veterinarian. Clean ears regularly with a damp warm cloth and run a cotton swab around the edge of the canal. Never stick the cotton swab into the actual ear canal. If the edges of the ears are dry, apply mineral or baby oil sparingly. The oil can also be used on a dry nose. French Bulldogs do not naturally wear their nails down and will need their nails trimmed regularly. This prevents splitting and tearing, which can be painful for the dog. Keep the facial wrinkles clean and dry to prevent bacterial infections. Whenever you bathe your dog, take the time to thoroughly dry the skin between the folds. Bathe your French Bulldog monthly or as needed, and use a high-quality dog shampoo to keep the natural oils in his skin and coat. French Bulldogs should be easy to groom, and with proper training and positive experiences during puppyhood, grooming can be a wonderful bonding time for you and your Frenchie. That said, no dog should ever be left alone with a young child. When they are socialized to them during puppyhood, Frenchies can get along well with other dogs and cats. French Bulldog Rescue Groups French Bulldogs are often acquired without any clear understanding of what goes into owning one, and these dogs often end up in the care of rescue groups, in need of adoption or fostering. All dogs will need veterinary care at some point in their lives. French Bulldog Breed Organizations Finding a reputable dog breeder is one of the most important decisions you will make when bringing a new dog into your life. Reputable breeders are committed to breeding healthy, well-socialized puppies that will make great companions. They will screen their breeding stock for health problems, socialize their puppies from a young age, and provide you with lifetime support. On the other hand, backyard breeders are more interested in making a profit than in producing healthy, well-adjusted dogs. They may not screen their breeding stock for health problems, and they may not socialize their puppies properly. As a result, puppies from backyard breeders are more likely to have health problems and behavioral issues. Below are breed clubs, organizations, and associations where you can find additional information about the French Bulldog.

Each pup is born and raised at the family home and receives a first vaccination, deworming, and exam from a veterinarian at 8 weeks of age. These dogs are bred on a semi-regular basis and the pups are sold to approved homes at 7 to 8 weeks. The parents have genetic health clearances, and puppies come with AKC limited registration, a three-generation pedigree, current vaccination records, parent records, care instructions, food, and a personal toy. Their puppies are selectively bred with careful health screenings and for a laid-back temperament. Em Labradors puppies are sold with limited AKC registration papers unless you specify that you wish to breed or show. This requires a little more vetting and the approval of the puppy for breeding purposes. Potential buyers can put a deposit down on the litter, color, and gender of the pup. Among puppy mills in the country, several PA breeders have made the list for multiple animal care violations, including puppies exposed to extreme cold or heat, animals living in filth, and owners shooting dogs or puppies they no longer wanted. You should meet the parents and the puppies. Also, that breeder has little interest in the home where the dog will live. Avoid breeders offering puppies at younger than 7 or 8 weeks.

The history of the Labrador Retriever dates back to the early s in Newfoundland, just off the Atlantic coast of Canada. Had these families not played a vital part in the continuation of the breed, the loving and affectionate Labs we have all grown to love may not exist today. The first recognized Yellow Labrador Retriever was born in .One of the friendliest breeds out there, Yellow Labs are great companions and love to be a part of the family. While the color yellow is part of their namesake, their coats range from fawn or cream to butterscotch or a deep golden hue. Coming into popularity during the midth century, the Yellow Labrador Retriever has been a staple for hunters and family homes alike ever since. These dogs are patient and kind when faced with energetic young ones. Yellow Labs delight in big spaces, opting to run and play wildly. However, they will happily lounge on the couch after having a long, hard run outside. When given a little training, they can easily learn to control barking habits and restrain themselves from digging. Their double coat also makes them a good fit for just about any climate. As with most dogs, they are sensitive to extreme heat or cold. Generally speaking, Labradors are healthy. They can develop certain inherent conditions, along with cataracts and kneecap displacement, but will remain healthy overall. As long as they are taken to their vet appointments with regularity, Labs will usually feel just fine. Yellow Labs are loyal companions with few drawbacks. Treats never hurt, of course.

Give it company, but not too much of attention. Set its boundaries, and let it learn to entertain itself by toys. Socialize your dog vigorously to help it abstain from its strong-willed nature. If you see your dog is way too independent minded, take it to the dog parks on a regular basis where it can mix, play, and learn from other dogs. For that purpose, you can even join an obedience class so that your dog can witness the bonding and interaction between other breeds and their owners, and learn to practice proper behavior. It is advisable to separate its daily amount of food between meals. They thrive on human contact, and they are very likely to experience some separation anxiety if you leave the house without them.

Lastly, you need to be prepared for licking, and a lot of it. Muggins are extremely affectionate, and their love for you will often present itself as doggy kisses. Their parent breeds have been around for centuries. Although the Muggin is a fairly new breed believed to have originated in the late s, their parent breeds date back for many centuries. Pugs have been well documented throughout history and date back to a similar point in history around 2,, years ago. They have a royal history. The Pug is believed to have originated in China about two millennia ago when they were common companions for the royal members of the Han dynasty. In later years, they were also popular as companion dogs for royal and wealthy families in other countries as well such as France, Italy, and Germany. They make good watchdogs. However, Muggins are alert and have a healthy distrust of strangers. They can be a bit goofy at times, and they are sure to bring joy and laughter to just about any home. Above all else, they are affectionate and loving. Muggins will happily spend time with any member of their family, and they love snuggling and giving kisses whenever possible. Along with their affection comes an attachment to their human counterparts which can lead to some separation anxiety. Are These Dogs Good for Families? Muggins are usually fine with children and will never purposefully hurt a child. If that does happen, your Muggin is likely to nip at them out of fear. For this reason, these dogs are recommended for families with grown children who will know how to play gently with your dog. They may be wary around strangers, but they usually get comfortable quickly around unfamiliar dogs. Your Muggin will either ignore them or simply be friendly toward your other animals, as long as they get some friendliness and acceptance back!

They have a moderate energy level, and they require about 45 minutes to an hour of dedicated exercise every single day. Because Muggins are prone to some joint problems, walks or vigorous play on soft surfaces is best if you can avoid cement or concrete. Muggins are affectionate and will love to snuggle and relax above all else, but you must be careful not to restrict exercise simply because your dog seems complacent without daily walking. If you let your pooch lounge all day, they likely will! It will also help limit any destructive behavior, and it will help prevent weight gain and associated problems as well.

Muggins are also sensitive and fairly emotional dogs, so any training should be done in a positive manner. Instead of correcting or giving negative attention for bad behavior, they will respond much better to positive reinforcement for good behavior. Beginning training early on and remaining consistent and persistent will be the best way to train your Muggin. Starting early with obedience can help avoid the willfulness you may experience from your pooch. They shed the most going into summer and winter, but year-round shedding should also be expected. Plan to give your pooch a bath about once every six weeks. You can also provide them with some treats or chew toys that are designed to help maintain dental hygiene. You should also schedule routine checkups with your vet just to make sure your pup stays in tip-top shape! Minor Conditions. Pug-Pin Description The Muggin is not a purebred dog.

Dozer is the happiest dog I have ever seen. He is very excitable and loves to give kisses. When people come over, they will never get bitten, but they may get licked to death. He is perfect with my 2 young boys and their friends. He is very attached to me and follows me everywhere I go. I can't leave the room without him being my shadow. He also likes to burrow under blankets any time he can. He tends to bark a bit too much, but makes up for it by being so incredibly loving to all of us. He has a high energy level, so he loves to go on daily walks and we also need to control how much he eats, or he gets a little chubby.

Separation anxiety can occur if they are left alone for long periods. They are ideal family pets but tend to bark frequently.

He tried crossing poodles with Labrador Retrievers to get a dog with the low-shedding coat of a Poodle and the calm intelligence of a Labrador. His cross was a success and the Labradoodle was born. Once people discovered how adorable these crosses were, the craze took off. People began breeding Poodles with all sorts of breeds to create ridiculously cute pups. The Goldendoodle was one of the first to become popular and remains one of the most sought-after doodle dogs. This dog is achieved by crossing a Golden Retriever with a Poodle. Getting the deep red coat of a Red Goldendoodle is a little trickier. Typically, it is bred by adding an Irish Setter to the mix. How Is a Red Goldendoodle Bred? It has to be the right Golden Retriever and the right Poodle, otherwise, the deep rich red color becomes too diluted. Poodles have more variety of colors , so the color you choose here is crucial. You need a darker poodle to help contribute. A lighter-colored poodle could influence the color more toward apricot or gold. Is the Red Goldendoodle Popular? Have you seen a picture of this dog? In fact, it is one of the more sought-after colors. But a red one? Is the Red Goldendoodle Rare? Not necessarily, but it is not as readily available as the gold variety.

Straight The hair is mostly straight, easy to comb, and the dog can be quite fluffy. However, this coat texture is more prone to shedding. Wavy The wavy texture is something in between. The hair is slightly curly, somewhat easy to comb, and the dog will generally shed less. Curly This is the most hypoallergenic texture because the dog rarely sheds. However, grooming those tight curls can get tedious and requires constant upkeep. Thus, if you are looking for a specific texture, you have to know what to look for. Puppies with wavy hair on their muzzles will have either wavy or curly adult coats. An experienced breeder can also tell you what their coat pattern will be by examining the hair around their muzzle. Color Variations of the Red Goldendoodle The color of a Red Goldendoodle might seem self-explanatory, but there is some variation. Coat colors can vary from deep dark red like a Field Golden Retriever to the considerably lighter apricot version. Interestingly, the apricot versions are not always considered Red Goldendoodles.

As they age, their coat lightens, so you should be prepared for the fact that your dog may not always stay the same color. Furthermore, red Goldendoodles are not always a solid color. Many have white markings, particularly on their face and chest.

Straight-haired dogs are generally easy to groom, just brush their hair regularly to keep it from getting tangled. The wavy and curly versions get a little more complicated. They need regular brushing to keep their hair from getting matted and tangled. Matted hair around the ears can harbor moisture and easily lead to ear infections. Do Red Goldendoodles Shed a Lot?

All dogs shed and that includes Red Goldendoodles. However, their tight curls help keep it from falling out all over your house. Brushing your dog about once a week frequency depends on the individual will clean out shed hairs and keep your dog and house tidy.
