To the wonderful community at Yokota. Thank you.🙏
To the individuals and families I have worked with. Thank you. 🙏
To the dogs. All the dogs. Thank you. 🙏

❣️Thank you for being open and welcoming to me and my passion business.
❣️Thank you for being with me on this part of my journey to advocate for a better life for you with your dog.
❣️Thank you mostly for receiving my terrible sense of humor.

ℹ️I would like to let you know that I will NOT be accepting any NEW clients.

I have family visiting, a pending knee surgery and then we PCS in July. Therefore I will be basking in this beautiful country, friends and of course all the dogs between now and then. ⛩👭🐾

If we've worked together- please reach out if you ever need anything. I am always here for you and your dogs. 🤍🗺. You can support me by leaving a Facebook review so the future clients can be prepared for what they are working with. 🙃

P.S. I'm not gone forever- just until we are settled in our new home 🏡

Let me tell you why I hate making Facebook posts.🙃

When I think about what I want to share with my audience, my mind goes to the generic “Top Tips” or “Try This” “5 reasons why..” Blah blah blah blah BLAH

 🫠

I come from an place of wanting to SHARE because I CARE. But then. Exactly because I care. I can’t share. 



Those “5 things” may work for Jack the terrier, but not Suki Husky. The “top tips” might hit home with a household with a five dogs and no kids, but not with another that has 5 kids and a one dog.

Why? Because literally EVERY DOG and home set up is different. And I can probably list 5 x more reasons why that WON'T work for you than it will. I hate generic advise. 🚫



Is is it selfish of me not to share? Because it might help someone? Maybe. But I care about actually helping. I like to go deep. One on One. I’m a people problem solver with a passion for pups. 🐾

So if you want generic crap, go to Tok Tok or Instagram or You tube.



If you want an actual answer of whats going on for you and your dog, and steps to help you change that. I can help. First phone calls are always free. 📞

Happy New Year!
Let’s celebrate with a Puppy Social today at the East Side Dog park @ 14:30🐾

LIFE UPDATE - I hope everyone had a relaxing holiday and are looking forward to the New Year!



As you know life is full of surprises… and life has given me the surprise of a fractured knee and suspected torn ACL- yay! At this stage I am pending further scans to know next steps, possibly including surgery. However… this does mean that my ability to facilitate in person training sessions is slightly limited.



So! How does this affect you? It means that in person training sessions are suspended until further notice. Likely starting back up mid- late January, fingers crossed. 


Clients- we have the wonders of the internet and zoom to stay in touch so I can support your training journey. Please don't hesitate to message me and I'll speak to you all soon :)

Dogs - I miss you. I'll see you soon.

Happy Holidays ❤️🎄🎁 Enjoy the festive season!

New Clients- Please get in touch- I'll get back to you after the holidays :)

Let's cut to the chase - dogs don't know how to human.

We have to teach them EVERYTHING about how to navigate this weird and wonderful human world they now find themselves in. But it's easier than you think.

Using positive reward training with your puppy, will give you long lasting results that build an incredible bond and the lifestyle you dream of with your new best friend 💙

HOME SCHOOLING your puppy offers fun, flexible, private training sessions at the comfort of your own home 🏠

Interested? Message me (puppy pictures always welcome in my inbox)

I KICKED A DOG and found a tumour.

I'll explain I promise 😅

Recently I went to the vets to help with handling a nervous dog for a good friend and client. On the way out, I ACCIDENTALLY caught the dog on the back of her leg with my foot and she SQUEALED in pain and started bleeding.

Yup. Sounds bad.

So we went back to the vets, who reassured me I'd just caught dry skin, hence the bleeding. But approximately 1 inch below where I nicked, there was a small tumour.

Advised to monitor the tumour over the next few weeks, she was bandaged up and sent home and I spent the whole journey apologising.

But it got me thinking... was it fate?

Was I there to support a dog and thier owner on a usually stressful trip to the vets, or was I really there to kick her and find that tumour?

So I'm NOT promoting my dog kicking services, BUT I am a believer in being somewhere for a reason.

So if you've ever wondered if walking your dog didn't have to be STRESSFUL or PAINFUL, or always being on edge and FRUSTRATED because of pulling.

They DON'T.

I was put right here on this earth to show you how.

🐾❤️Happy National Dog Day from me and Ava ❤️🐾

Why should I consider puppy classes?

11/08/2022

Everyone meet Megan and Anakin 👋🏻

These guys have just finished their 6 week teen training course! Yay! They learnt how to:

🐾Recall around distractions - lightning fast!
🐾 Walk on a loose leash around other dogs and distractions
🐾 Navigate the wild world of a 95lb teenage fur ball 🤪

Anakin has very fleeting motivation- sometimes it’s a stick, a toy, a hotdog, or the smells of the neighbourhood.

By giving Megan skills and knowledge- she is set up for LIFE on how to use all of Anakin motivations to trade for good boy behaviours. 🙌🏻

Congratulations guys! It’s been a pleasure working with you and I’ll see you at pack walks 💚

East side Doggy Summer Camp last week was a BLAST! 🤩🤪🐾

Annabelle, Brooklynn and Daniel looked after these dogs like they were their own and learnt how to groom, walk, care for and train a dog- plus pick up p**p 💩

We had so much fun and already excited for the start of the west side this week!
