I love getting updates like this! Leia is the tan dog who came to me to resolve her aggression and reactivity issues.

“Hi Christie

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! I wanted to share an update with you today with Princess Leia.

I have to be honest, I had written something like this off forever, but after a few years of working with her, she’s proved me wrong!

Without your help, we would have never gotten here, and I can’t put into words how grateful I am for what you did for us and still do for countless amounts of dogs.

- Kyle”

Dear Valued Clients,

We are excited to announce that we will be returning from travel and open for boarding, training, and daycare reservations again as of Sept. 12, 2024! All services are now open online for clients to reserve services from Sept. 12, 2024 - Jan 3, 2025.

We have also made some exciting changes and will be continuing to add some new services soon!

Boarding:

Boarding will now be limited to 8 kennels instead of our previous 20 to allow for more personalized services and one-on-one time with each dog during their stay. This means limited availability, especially during holidays, so please be sure to put in reservations early.

Only bungalows will be offered for accommodations, and we will be adding small yard extensions to each bungalow soon for even more spacious housing. In addition to this, all-day-play will be automatically included with each reservation (weather permitting) as well as 1 complimentary doggy ice cream or peanut butter treat! We will also continue to provide photo updates through PawPartner.

Please visit our website for updated hours of operation beginning Sept. 12th and PawPartner to sign all updated forms/agreements as well as update any credit cards on file since we have also changed card processors to make everyone’s experience as simple as possible.

Daycare:

Daycare will be offered weekly, Tues - Thurs. and we have added a membership option for extra savings! We will also have a climate controlled building available soon to provide more playtime to dogs during periods of bad weather or extreme heat!

Training:

Private lessons are now available M-F and will be made available first to students who were actively enrolled in our program before August. Please contact us ASAP by email at [email protected] if you would like information on private training.

Board & Train services are still being offered. There is also a new in-home board and train option in which your dog can stay in my home with me during their training rather than our bungalows. This option is only open to 1 dog per month, so please make sure to reserve this spot early if that is the option you prefer. I also will only accept 2-3 board and train clients total per month moving forward which means limited availability and the need to plan ahead. If you are wanting to reserve a spot during holiday months, it is important that you start that process ASAP to insure availability.

We will be testing out a training membership model soon as well to see if it is beneficial and allows flexibility for enrollment and attendance. This membership will evolve overtime if we receive positive feedback regarding the program, but those who choose to sign up during the initial phase will be given priority on any future bonuses, add-ons, and freebies as we move forward with this model.

Extras:

We are still planning the opening/release of our private dog park soon, which will be offered on a membership basis. Please keep on the lookout for that announcement as we finalize details and set-up over the next couple of months.

We thank you all for your time, patience, and understanding during this time of transition and feel very blessed to have each and everyone of you as amazing clients! We look forward to working with you in the future and continuing to help you create the most rewarding relationship with and life for your dogs!

With Gratitude,

**Important Announcement**

It saddens us to announce that due to continued staffing issues, increasing costs associated with hiring and retaining staff as well as quality of life/health issues, K9 Mastery will be greatly reducing the availability of services offered.

I will still be offering training services and limited boarding, but will be doing so without the aid of support staff in the very near future. This will mean a reduction in both boarding availability and training programs offered.

All current reservations will be honored and I will honor all commitments made to currently enrolled training clients for the service they are currently signed up for.

Group lessons will continue until all currently enrolled students complete the 8 lessons that have been paid for as a part of the obedience level in which they are enrolled or until August, as that will provide ample time for all current students to schedule their remaining lessons.

I will be taking some time for myself within the August – September timeframe during which I will decide if I will continue offering group obedience classes, whether they will be structured in the same manner if continued, or if training services will become limited to private instruction and board and train. I will also be evaluating our current boarding and daycare options to decide to what extent these will continue.

Currently enrolled students will have priority in moving forward with private lessons or board and train.

This decision was a very difficult one to make and unfortunately not what I anticipated or wanted, but at this time it is clear that it is the best option for the company to move forward and still offer help and services to our valued clients and the dogs both you and I love.

I ask for everyone to please be patient with us during this transition time and moving forward. I will do the very best I can to make sure everyone is accommodated as much as possible while still maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Thank you for your time and understanding! I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July holiday!

With Gratitude,

When you **REALLY** get into your playgroup. . . Marlin had a blast today making ALL the funny faces 😂😂😂

I'm so blessed to have such dedicated students! Olive and her owner showed up early this morning and worked through the rain to practice some advanced work. She's almost ready for her test.

Check out Olives 1 hr down stay and 20 minute sit stay (both with her owner leaving the premises) and her 300ft recall.

Congrats to Otto and of course his owner Andres (and family) for passing his Basic Obedience test this morning despite the gross weather! Nothing stops these guys!

We’re proud of you!

First night of classes at Tractor Supply went great!

Part of tonight’s class was learning to wait nicely to get in the car instead of pulling on their owners and jumping straight in on their own. All three dogs did great! Their owners are rockstars too!
