***New Update *** PLACED!

Our last remaining pup is desperately looking for her forever home. Her last two places fell through due to no fault of her own as they didn't ask their spouses.

Feta, our 6 month old female red Labrador, is looking for an active pet home. She is being placed at a discount.

She comes with age appropriate vaccines, crate training, basic training, and are highly socialized with Puppy Culture, Early Neurological Stimulation and Scent Introduction provided during development. She will have a free month of health insurance, 3 free sessions of training to help acclimate her to her new home.

Please reach out for further details.

Did you know we also provide litter evaluations? One of my favorite parts of the job is to evaluate puppies, including for service work potential.

Our two remaining puppies both had no shows and are looking for their homes.

Colby Jack loves to show off his skills!

Wouldn't you love to skip most of the hard puppy phase? He and his brother, Blue Cheese, have been extensively socialized, practicing crate training, sit, down, stand, and loose leash walking and are current on vaccines.

These boys are still shockingly available! Contact us ASAP to see how they can join the family.

8 years ago, I finally decided to start my own business. ♡

I had already been helping others with their service dogs in training, many being scammed by other "trainers", and realized the necessity to get Aurum up and rolling.

I am grateful to all of my past and current clients, for trusting me with such an important task.

Stay safe this Thanksgiving weekend!

Good Morning! We'll be off this week for Continuing Education.

All messages will be returned next week.

Go have fun with your dog!

We are heading into our busiest time of year. Fireworks have already started, and they will intensify as we approach the Fourth. If your dog is afraid of loud, percussive noises, please take extra care in the next couple of weeks.

* Don't leave them alone in a yard, even a fenced one that they can jump over.

* Make sure their collar fits properly (a Martingale collar is safer, and double leashing to a collar and harness is the safest of all).

* Keep your leash wrapped around your wrist

* Don't leave your dog alone on the night of the Fourth

* Ask your vet if there are any medications they would recommend to help with fireworks/storm phobia

* For anyone planning to set off fireworks, please let your neighbors know if you'll be firing them at random times. Unexpected fireworks (i.e., not detonated at the traditional times) account for most of the fireworks-related lost dog cases we get now. It would be really nice if you could shorten your celebrations back to the night of the Fourth only. Fireworks season seems to be getting longer every year, putting more dogs in danger.

Dog brains are much smaller than wolf brains, but new research suggests modern breeding efforts have somewhat increased their relative size.

I wonder what Molasses wants! 😂

Molasses is a lovely Standard Poodle service dog in training who definitely wants to play hard when it's downtime.

Mister Toast finished his board and train with us and we are so excited to see his progress! Toast is a lovely boy and we can't wait to see all he accomplishes.

Good boy Toast!

★★★★★ "Toast is my 1yr old golden retriever who is in training to be my service dog. He had an accident when he was just a couple months old that ruined his confidence in himself. I spent so long trying to rebuild it, and though we made improvement, he just started to plateau. I found Dana...

While I am recovering from Covid, Toast, a lovely golden retriever board and train going through our service program, practices skills that can be transferred to a handicap button.

Look at him go!
