I am dedicated to helping to achieve a positive relationship between dogs and their families. In other words, a relationship that "works" to the benefit of all involved! My whole life has involved rescue, care of farm animals and horses, and the training of dogs. I am completing my Animal Science degree, and am a member of the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP). My experience, and concern for your pets will ensure the best care possible while you are away!

I am so grateful for your continued interest, But I officially closed my business in May of 22. Closing a business takes time with the Government, but it is officially closed financially and legally with them. Again, I am pursuing my interest with animals as usual, but can't divide my time between my "real job" and training. I do need to sleep a few hours a day!😊. Love to you and all your furry family!

At least it wasn't my slipper or another towel!

A little blustery, but that doesn't stop the dogs!

Duke and Barney

UGH. Too cold for the dogs. -11 this morning (without the wind) and a high of 3 yesterday. Wrestling, but no zoomies allowed!

They are all tracking the 15 Turkeys that wandered through earlier. Well, they won't miss dinner:)

Pretty warm for Thanksgiving up here!

All is calm.

Perfectly quiet night and morning. Well, Barney wakes up and starts playing with toys for awhile, but goes back to sleep.

Waiting for breakfast. The only noise should be my Keurig. It took Penny only a couple of minutes to figure it out. She is very smart.

Barney is learning patience at the gate and all doors. He is getting big and STRONG so fast. Also, more demanding. We are working on structure and a routine. He is super smart and very willing. He is also a normal puppy, and exhibits normal puppy behaviors. For example, he is sure his cuteness alone will get him out of this crate and a little added noise, and pawing /digging/puppy barks, will get him out faster! Works for most! I believe, strongly, in good crating behaviors. It sets the stage for so many aspects of life. Calm, patience, and self control. I never let bad behaviors start and try to fix them later. Dogs do not do well with mixed signals and being a puppy is no excuse. So, what do I do if they have an accident in the crate? Bark? Whine? Chew their bed? NOTHING. It's all normal to an extent. How we deal with it will encourage or discourage attention getting behaviors. It is up to us to adjust a schedule for puppies to get out enough to do their business, get plenty of exercise as well as attention. We have to figure out if he NEEDS to get out or WANTS to get out. Dogs are great at pushing our buttons! Letting puppies "normal" behaviors continue will usually set them up for failure later. I wish I had $50 for every time I have heard "We thought he would grow out of it". It is our behaviors (hopefully proactive not reactive) that will "set" them up or success.
