Abella Dagny

She was the only dog we ever bought—a UKC-registered Valley Bulldog. Hands down, one of the best dogs we've ever had, right next to Laken.

She once devoured a comforter, leading to emergency surgery and a lot of anxious prayers, but she pulled through like a champ.

She had a knack for getting into the pool whenever she fancied a swim. Her heart belonged to my husband; she was his loyal companion. She lived a wonderful long life, passing away in 2019 at the ripe age of 16.

Not only was she exceptionally well-trained, but she also had her human (not naming names) trained just as well.

If you’re looking for a dog trainer who has a true passion for dogs, feel free to reach out. 🐾💖🏊‍♀️

Riley-

A little over a year ago, we saved him from death row. Riley is our foster and still on the lookout for his forever home. He’s perpetually excited, with no slow button in sight. His high energy makes him a perfect running partner; walking isn’t in his vocabulary.

Look at that face! You can see how grateful he is for his second chance at life. If you’re interested in making Riley a part of your forever home, please reach out today. 🐾❤️🏡

Ollie-

A little over a year ago, we took him in as a foster, saving him from death row. After being overlooked for a year, there was no more room for him at the shelter, and it seemed his time was up despite his significant contribution.

While he was with us, he was adopted and returned twice, but Ollie seamlessly integrated into our lives with Aurora and Luna. He's now living his best life with us, brimming with playful energy and eager for love and attention.

Ollie loves to please and excels at obedience. Consistency is key, and training is always beneficial. Reach out to schedule training sessions and build a fantastic relationship with your furry friend. 🐕❤️🏡

This is Milo.

He was born and ended up in a shelter, adopted twice only to be returned both times. But then, he found his forever home with my sister.

Why did it work out? My sister took the time to hire a trainer and truly learn to work with him. While he stayed with us, we stuck to his routine and let him simply be a dog.

He’s a people-lover with a zest for life.

I'm back into training, so reach out if you want to build that strong relationship with your furry friend. Remember, consistency and effort are key! 🐾💖

Neptune, now basking in the Florida sunshine with our son, has always loved car rides.

We got him accustomed to car trips from the very beginning, whether it was a spin around the block (which is several miles), a jaunt to the park, or a quick trip for a treat. We ensured that every car ride was a positive and enjoyable experience.

Keeping things fun and positive is the secret to a happy dog.

We're back into training, so if you want to build a great relationship with your furry friend, feel free to reach out! 🐕🚗☀️

Always Working, Always Training. Kimber is a high-energy, intelligent dog that thrives on mental and physical stimulation. This breed is not suitable for civilians and requires an experienced handler. It’s crucial never to take on a dog outside of your expertise or one you don't have the time and commitment to care for properly.

Kimber's Daily Routine: Kimber needs to be worked every day, multiple times throughout the day. This includes structured training sessions, exercise, and mental enrichment activities. Consistent engagement is essential to keep her happy, healthy, and well-behaved. Remember, a well-trained dog is a joy to have, but it requires dedication and effort. Respect the breed's needs and ensure you are ready for the responsibility before bringing a dog like Kimber into your home.

This is why I do not train with e-collars-

Posted on November 21, 2017December 3, 2018 by PET CPD - Emotions-R-UsShock Collars: What Manufacturers Don’t Want You to Know We make no apologies for this article being one-sided – that is – against the use of e-collars for training dogs. Furthermore, we challenge anyone who feels that the i...

Milo enjoyed playtime. Absolute love bug. My sister has the best dog this time around.
Her other foster that she adopted was a one dog person and everything else.

She couldn’t take him anywhere. Milo will be the highlight where ever he goes. He just wants to please and be loved. What more could you ask for:)

08/29/2024

I spy with my little eye. Milo thinks he is doing a good job hiding. What do you think?

Then we have Riley. We switched out his air crate to this yesterday. The air crate looks like the Tasmanian devil 😈 lived inside. We are using this size metal because the large one he doesn’t like. We also put him between two of the triple threat pack dogs. They are calm always inside then outside is a different story.

Enjoy the day. Enjoy your dogs. Let them guide you and never force situations on them. Would you do it to yourself?

He is finally finding peace. Patience is always needed with dogs. You can’t force them to like something because you believe it’s best. I mean I hate no I despise with everything in me Brussel sprouts. They may be good for me but yuck! Same goes for the dogs.

We wanted to help our Ollie & foster Riley and so we did. Here is a unique story.

08/23/2024

Milo on a 15 foot lead. Strolling around the farm. I stop he looks back and then sits. Good bye Milo.

Now if we could just get you to stop being so bouncy bouncy:)

08/22/2024

Milo is here and working on his obedience. He is doing very well. He is a very happy loving dog.

08/19/2024

People ask if my dogs are ever tired since I keep them rotating in their own packs.
Well here is Saint the leader of her three pack.

Before I snapped the picture her eyes were closed and she was on her back with all four in the air.

Everytime they are out they are mentally and physically stimulated.

Thankful to be able to work night shift to keep my pups all busy during the day.

Milo living his best life while here with us. He is slowly learning to be a dog. Loves kids and loves to play with them. He has mastered passing baby gates and going into another room.
Now he has brought a toy outside!

He is an incredible dog who just needed patience, love and socialization.

Every dog deserves an opportunity. So if you are looking for a dog contact your local shelter or a rescue organization. Then remember it takes 3 months to feel at home on a minimum.

Our Luna took 3 years. She was also completely feral and she is a Coydog.
