Porter would like to announce that she is hitting the transfer portal.
She said it’s embarrassing to watch the lack of class and poor sportsmanship offered up by the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Her family is from Ohio but her standards and the amount of time invested into her training are being wasted.
As her official representative I am thrilled to announce she is officially a Wolverine and ready for life in Ann Arbor.

Proper play is part of training. It not only helps with exercise. It’s a great form of reward as the dog earns your attention. It helps fade the food lure and helps with impulse control and several other things.
But you can’t train with play if you don’t first teach them how to play.
I love fetch, tug, and the flirt stick. Here is MAXX showing off his raw talent with the flirt stick.

With Clutch, my six-month-old Doberman buddy. I have had him for just over a week, I'm delighted with his development. As he masters communication and establishes a training foundation, I'm eager to support him with leadership.
My approach emphasizes teaching them followed by training them. Whether you're just starting out or refining advanced skills, I'm here to guide you and your dog. Limited spots remain: just one in December and three in January.
Reserve your space by calling 864 434 3070. The photo depicts 5 year old Nugget, not Clutch. But watch clutch in action in the video.

Took my high drive buddy Maxxy live this morning on my other page. He is starting to become a decent dance partner.
Occasionally I get a little more in depth with conversations and topics that many people dont want to have. However i find myself saying the same tbings everywhere.
In a nutshell its the basics. You want advanced behaviors? Great your dog is more than capable. The first ingredient is patience the second is a solid foundation in the basics.
I've got a nice formula and would love to work with you and your dog.

Training juvenile Dobermans, approximately 4 weeks apart in age, yet vastly differing in drive. Max, the younger cropped Doberman, may have been separated from his litter prematurely.
Notable issues include resource guarding and borderline aggression, accompanied by rough play. Addressing these concerns and focusing on fundamental obedience with both dogs. Clutch is 6 months old and has floppy ears.
Currently scheduling for January, with limited board and train program availability - only 5 spots monthly. Don't delay, as spaces fill quickly, especially with the upcoming holiday season. 864 434 3070.
