How to keep your puppy out of harm’s way without frustrating yourself during the holidays...

12/19/2024

Last year I finished the season with pay what you can Christmas trees, and it was a great way to close out the year so I’m bringing it back. If that’s $30, great! If that’s $10, great! If it’s been a rough year financially, come get a free tree! I want to make sure all my trees make it into someone’s home for Christmas, especially if they may not have gotten a tree otherwise.

My final days and hours this week are:
Monday - Closed
Tuesday thru Friday 12-5
If I still have trees after that it will be by appointment only ❄️ And I may have to close before Friday if I run out of trees, but I’ll keep you updated on here!

'Tis the season! I keep getting asked my thoughts about the memes going around recommending the use of essential oils with cookies. DON'T DO IT! This is very risky not just topically around the mouth, but once consumed. USE SPICES INSTEAD!

Are your dogs up to date on their distemper vaccine? If not, now might be a good time to make an appointment with your vet.

We’ve been getting more reports of wildlife showing signs of distemper, with raccoons, skunks, and other animals acting strangely in yards. If you see wildlife acting odd, please leave them alone! If there’s been no contact with pets or people, simply give the animal space to avoid stress or risk.

I currently have an opening for 1 new training client for 1-on-1 training sessions.

Private dog training classes offer several benefits over traditional group classes, especially for those who want a customized approach.

🐾 Personalized Training: I tailor the objectives to your dog’s unique needs, temperament, and learning pace, addressing specific issues like obedience, behavior modification, or socialization.

Private sessions are ideal for dogs with specific behavioral challenges, like anxiety or reactivity, allowing for a more targeted approach to these issues.

🐾Focused Attention: One-on-one sessions ensure that all attention is on you and your dog, helping both of you learn more quickly and effectively.

🐾Flexible Scheduling: Private classes offer flexibility with timing, making it easier to fit training into your schedule without committing to a set class time.

🐾Reduced Distractions: Many dogs are more relaxed and attentive without other dogs or distractions around, making it easier for them to focus on learning new commands and behaviors.

🐾Owner Involvement: I can work closely with you, teaching you techniques for reinforcing positive behaviors at home, decreasing unwanted behaviors, and helping you become more confident in handling your dog.

🐾Faster Progress: Since the training is customized, many owners see quicker results as compared to group classes, especially for dogs with unique behavioral needs.

🐾Ideal for Puppies or Older Dogs: Private training can be especially beneficial for puppies needing basic training and socialization or older dogs that may need more patience or specific behavioral corrections.
