I have been quiet here on social media! The first half of 2024 has been spent rehabbing a back injury, which has taken much longer than anticipated.
I am doing limited private training sessions at this time.
If I don’t think I can help, I will direct you to a suitable colleague.
Happy training! 🐾

Today was a Zoom day!
Zoom sessions are fast and flexible ways to get you and your dog help quickly. They are also a great way for me to connect with clients across the country. 🐾

Welcome home Tagi!
For those who don’t know, I lost Mulder to cancer on March 17th. It was an incredibly painful loss and for the first time in 20 years, I was dog-less.
On Sunday, I made the trip back to Logan Haus Kennels in West Virginia for a new pup. She is super confident and outgoing and will be a lot of fun! We are settling into a new and busy routine.

04/19/2023

Puppy class is cancelled tonight as I am injured! Emails have been sent out - see everyone next week!

03/07/2023

I’m heading back to school at the end of March! This means some changes for the month of April - I will continue seeing existing clients in person, and all new clients will be doing an online session first. I also have some time off scheduled. Puppy class will continue as planned.
I am excited to try a new adventure!

03/01/2023

March private sessions are filling up fast! If you are interested in scheduling an in person session this month, please get in touch. I have schedule changes in the month of April and will have limited new client sessions that month.

This is a great post for puppy owners - there is a lot to socialization! One of Mulder's outings was to my old boxing gym, which was great for noises, people, different floor surfaces and A LOT of smells!

Puppy socialisation is NOT just about playing with other dogs.

In fact, too much uncontrolled exposure to other dogs can cause so many unintended consequences.

If you have a puppy, make sure you try to work on ALL aspects of socialisation, as listed in the bottom graphic.
