What does your nail trim routine look like?

Is it spa day or spaz day? 👀

Help your dog find nail trims relaxing by teaching a play dead behavior. Not only is it a fun trick, it can be incorporated into regular grooming and vet care.

Teach the trick ✔️
Add duration ⌚
Practice with distractions 🤪
Take it on the road 🚗

🦴 Oh, and don't forget to pay well! 🍪

Sophie is staying with us for a few days and Freya is ecstatic to have another Jack Russell mix in the house! Freya may be 8.5 years old but nothing surpasses the energy of Jack! She keeps up Sophie's teenage antics with ease. 😆

Tongue out Thursday!

Pippa joined me for an adventure yesterday! 🐾 We walked 2 miles, wore out her sniffer and burned some calories as we investigated the Saylorville Lake area.

I've been keeping a little secret but Cascade would like to finally share... I have a "title" too! 😆

We've been so busy working as a team to get titles her, that I guess it was time for me to renew my title as a Canine Good Citizen evaluator.

So, without further ado, I'm officially offering AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy, Canine Good Citizen, AKC Community Canine, Urban CGC, Video Home Manners and Trick Dog tests! Message me for more info!

The same applies to dog training! 🐾

A strong foundation builds stronger behaviors, a very important reward history and a better relationship!

"But my dog loves his shock collar!"
Does he? Or is it associated with getting out of the house, going on an adventure and spending time with YOU? What a fascinating question... Will your dog choose pain to simply spend time with YOU? 🤔

Anyone else do a group photo for the new year?! 🥳

These guys rang in the 1st by partying as if an unlimited amount of squirrels were running rampant through the house 🐿️🤣😁

I'M YOUR GAL!!
Stay at home mom with a HUGE fenced in backyard, separate dog bedroom, sunporch/playporch, doggy friends to play with and of course lots of love (and cookies 😉). If your dog isn't down to play, my house is set up in a way that your pup has their very own private vacation room. With me, your pup(s) will be cared for as if they are my own. 💜

We're enjoying the weather while we can, are you?! Here's what we've been doing...

🎃 Late night walks through our neighborhood. This has been a great way to enjoy our neighbors' Halloween decor and work through new, novel distractions while building confidence in my dog... And myself! 👻

🍂 Playing scent work games outdoors. The pumpkins we carved, wind and leaves add a whole new challenge to finding the scent.

🎖️Mastering new tricks while the human-baby naps. Cascade and I hope to earn our next Trick Dog title before the end of the year!

Comment below with something you've been working on! 👇🏼

(See that motto on Cascade's harness? Draco's memory lives on!)

It's a beautiful day to dabble in scent work! 🍂

Ivy came by for her monthly trim but she had to show off her Halloween costume first. Ain't she the cutest, rootin' tootin' cowgirl corgi you've ever seen? 🤠 13 years young and rockin' it!
