This cute girl is Cruz!
She has already been in several homes, having bounced from breeder to breeder, then to a couple who couldn’t handle her travel anxiety.

Cruz has a hard time traveling. When her owner called me, Cruz would drool and ‘blow bubbles’ the second she got in the car, after resisting getting in. Traveling is a part of life, plus, Cruz is an amazing dog in all the right ways! Great with dogs, people, and kids, she had great obedience and leash manners; but her car anxiety was really starting to get in the way of being able to enjoy of the fun things with her.

We worked on desensitizing her to all things involving the car to help ease some anxiety there. The hardest part for Cruz, though, is the threshold of the car door.

Cruz is doing great now! She’s had a couple car rides completely drool free and relaxed! We’re still working on getting an even more positive mindset so her and her owner can do all the fun things together. I’m so proud of Cruz and her “mom” 🥰

I’m so behind on posting. Whoops! We’ve been busy. Thank you all so much for your support 💚 being with your pups means so much to me!

Drift and I are attending a disc seminar this weekend hosted by .discdogs and 🤩

We are so excited to continue learning and growing. Lessons will resume again once I return!

Chester is a 4 month old border collie/mini aussie mix!

He is learning how to respect barriers, walk on a leash, stay, and stay off guests as well as build a strong foundation for obedience cues. He loves learning and puts the pieces together real quick! I’m excited to be a part of his journey starting at such a young age 🥰

Miss Freda!

Freda is a 2 year old rescued off the reserves in Eastern Washington. She’s believed to be a lab, shepherd, border collie x. Freda struggles with excitement around everything. Because of this excitement, it’s hard for her to follow instructions. She also tends to wander off the property.

Along with some Heelwork training, we are also working on conditioning a better recall, and impulse control, and regulating excitement levels to help tie everything together. She’s a fun girl who just needs some clear guidance and control of her energy!

This little cutie is Summer!

She’s been with her new family for 3 weeks after being adopted from the local shelter. She’s estimated to be around 8 months old. Her DNA came back as mostly Cattle Dog, with some Lab and German Shepherd!

She’s already such a great little dog but to ensure good habits, we’re working on basic obedience foundations as she continues to grow into herself. Main focus is implied stays, a nice heel, and a solid recall. She’s already doing fantastic!

This is Mia!

She’s a toy Aussie who is working on leash manners primarily as well as a solid recall, and choosing calmness as often as possible. Her owner would like to travel with her as she’s an ideal size and very friendly towards dogs and humans but wants to have a reliable and well mannered dog.

Happy Monday!

Drift and I are kicking strong back into sports again (helloooo summer!)

Rest days and conditioning are so important to make sure he’s fit and can handle tons of activity. Just like an athlete, what you eat is important but so is resting your body! Health and safety first!

This is something I prioritize with my dogs and client dogs, sports or no sports! Health and Fitness.

I am taking bookings for July but am very limited on spots open. Contact me to get started!

I wanted to take some time to introduce my first dog, Molly, as she is a big reason why I am where I am today.

Molly was believed to be a German Shepherd mix. As a child, I always wanted a dog. When the opportunity finally presented itself, I couldn’t help but fall in love and ask my parents about getting her. So I also owe so much to them for helping me find my passion and continuously being one of the biggest supporters of what I do.

Molly wasn’t only special because she was the dog who ignited my passion for dogs, but she had such a great outlook on life - despite her life being cut short due to cancer. Molly was free spirited, easy going, and just a very naturally optimistic dog.

I remember once in elementary school our assignment was to write about one of the best days of our life, and for me, it was the day we happened to come across this puppy and I took her home.

When Molly died, I thought I would never recover. With time, I of course, did. Shortly after there came Malani. I was determined to give her my best and that’s when I really discovered training and all its avenues.

I owe so much to this dog and those who continue to support and believe in me. Molly, you are still very loved and always missed. I say it all the time, but if I knew what I know now when I had you, you would’ve accomplished so much. You were the coolest dog. ❤️‍🩹

Thank you.

Molly is such a fun pup! Her and her mom are rocking training. They are making quick progress and having so much fun along the way!

Little dogs rock and I believe they truly aren’t given enough credit! 🔥 Molly is proof!

She also reminds me so much of Malani and I’m obsessed with her 😁

Sam the springer spaniel is just over a year and so full of energy!

He is working on all the things to become a well rounded dog — leash manners, reliable recall, disengagement from distractions, and calmness! We’ve only just started our lessons but he is a lot of fun! I’m super excited to get to spend more time with him. 🤩

A snuggle sesh after a great training sesh is good for the bones 🤩
