Maizie and her amazing owners have been working on their homework since she graduated last Friday! We’re so proud of this whole team and all the effort they’re putting in, way to go! 🤗

Even after a program ends, it’s so important to transition those newly acquired skills back into the home environment. Practicing consistently, creating clear expectations, and following through are what help everything stick! And this team is doing just that!

Looking forward to our first post program lesson once I return! Keep it up team, you’re doing awesome!! 🎉🎉🎉

We’re “closed” for a little holiday recharge starting today, November 25th, and we’ll be back to our normal routine on December 5th! We’re taking this time to enjoy Thanksgiving with family and give our own dogs a well deserved break.

Past and current clients, I’ll still be available via text throughout the break, with the exception of Thanksgiving Day and Friday, November 28th.

Thank you so much for your understanding, and have a wonderful and SAFE Thanksgiving!! 🦃🫶🏼

It’s wild to think back to when Atlas first came for training in August for her issues with dogs/reactivity and couldn’t settle on her place because she had to keep an eye on Kino the whole time. Fast forward to now… she’s relaxing on the couch right next to him without a care in the world! This girl has come SO far, and we’re so proud of her!! 🥹🫶🏼

Sweet Apollo is looking for a new home!! I had the privilege of knowing this guy as a pup, and he is now back with Grunt Style Canine Training getting some work in and looking for a new, loving forever family!!

Look who’s back for a little overnight stay… Miss. Atlas!! 😍 She’s hanging out with us while her owners enjoy some well deserved solo time, and we are absolutely thrilled to have her back!! And judging by his happy wiggles, Kino is pretty excited too!! 🥰

This dog is in need of urgent foster!!!! If I wasn’t leaving in the coming days, I’d temporarily take him. He sounds like a great pup!

It’s that time again, go home days are always so bittersweet! I get asked a lot if it’s hard when the dogs head home, and the honest answer is HECK YEAH! I’ve cried on and off all week 😅 Your dogs become part of our home and our everyday life, and saying “bye” is never easy! We love them so incredibly much!

We are so proud of how far Maizie has come, working through her fear, building confidence, and taking on each field trip with so much courage! Also conquering that pesky “sit!” 😉 We still have her post program lessons ahead, but we will absolutely miss having her here, especially because she and Kino developed such a sweet bond!

Congratulations to Maizie and her wonderful family!! 🥰🎉🫶🏼
