Love is in the air this month at Daycare PLUS, and we’re celebrating all things Valentine’s Day, from puppy love to the friendships our dogs build every day. Our “Stay for a Smooch” photo set highlights the sweet side of training, giving pups a chance to pose at the kissing booth while practicing the calm focus that helps them shine both on camera and at home.
This month’s Stay Challenge came with a couple of extra twists. First, pups had to navigate a surprisingly tight squeeze to step behind the kissing booth and get into position. Then, once they were set, they were asked to hold their sit or down at a greater distance from the camera than usual—no easy feat. These small changes create big learning opportunities, helping dogs grow more confident moving through narrow spaces and more reliable holding their cues from afar.
Each new setup gives our pups another chance to practice their skills in a fresh way, and in this Valentine’s challenge, confidence, patience, and a solid stay make for a pretty sweet combination!
Watch for updates! Photo set continues through February 27th.
