It has been precisely two weeks since our relocation from 2408 Thomas Drive. 👋🏽

The two-year lease served as a temporary bridge to future endeavors, laying the groundwork for new client relationships, memories, and milestones in both business and personal growth, for which I am truly grateful. 💜

I am eager to share our plans for 2025 and continue providing exclusive pet care and training services.

Following a much-needed two-week break, I am excited to resume operations.

During this transitional period, our services will be limited to adventure club opportunities, puppy board and train, and private lessons.

Fluffy is our most recent puppy jumpstart B+T graduate! 🎓💖

She came to me a blank slate and left with a great foundation! 🐾

Between confidence building, potty training, crate training, leash manners, basic obedience and that gruesome puppy nipping... She graduated with so many new tools in her toolbox! 🎀

Congratulations are due! 🥁
Walter is a 6 month old German Shepherd & in October, he completed a 2-Week Puppy Jump Start Board & Train Program 🦖

Walter had a hard time doing nothing and was always looking for something to get into! He was a blank slate, was lacking in the socialization department and had NEVER had a bath before coming.

During his stay, Walter learned “the art of doing nothing,” alongside valuable skills like “leave it”, basic obedience and “place.” We had a blast with confidence building too, climbing on anything he could get his paws on! 🐾

Unfortunately towards the end of his board and train he started showing me signs of a fear period, luckily for him he’s got 6 weeks of STAR puppy classes to work through it!

Congratulations Walter 🥳🎉

Can’t wait to watch you grow up and continue working with you and your family.

(Watch how much he grew just through his stay in his pics below)

I’m excited to share I’ll be hosting Angela Ahern from The Biokinetic K9, all the way from Africa🌍, for her elite conditioning and strength training next month. 💪🏽

There’s a reason why so many bite sport competitors are using her. Including but not limited to current world champion Erin O’Shea, Sarah Prelle, Tim cutterson, Joeri Veth, Patricia Knabl... She is hands down the best in the industry. 👏🏽

If you compete in dog sports, you need to know how important this is to your dogs success and to prevent injury‼️I am VERY much an advocate for cooperative care and strength conditioning.

Even if all your dog does is Fast CAT this could be beneficial to you. Long gone are the days of pulling our dogs out of the crate and onto the field.

Her first event has taken place this past weekend, but lucky for you us here in the Midwest, we now have an opportunity that has landed in my lap!

Please reach out to me directly to solidify a spot.

This will be a THREE day event Friday through Sunday 11.15-17

Saturday night dinner and bonfire post seminar to visit to all attendees.

10 Working Spots are available | $300 per handler

Unlimited Auditing spots | $100 per person for the full three days

More details to come in regards to hotels, airbnbs, schedule etc 🐾

As many of you know, Kannon’s Kabins is housing the Doodles and surprise puppies!

I have created an Amazon wish list of necessities for the time being and will add to it as the puppies grow. If you would like to support us, please follow the link here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1WFKC6K4194YS?ref_=wl_share

If you’d like to purchase dog food locally, please purchase any Purina Pro Plan Sport 30/20 for our momma. 🩵

THANK YOU all for the support!

If you’re new here or aren’t sure what’s happened… two doodles were running at large in our community. One hour after catching the doodles, the female doodle started giving birth. She gave birth to 8 sweet puppies last night (3 males & 5 females). We still have not had anyone come forward to claim either doodle.

The male doodle had a microchip that seems to have been bought by a breeder and was not registered. We have tried everything to get any type of information about the microchip but have not had any luck. The female doodle did not have a microchip.

Both doodles were first spotted together by the dumpsters behind our building Wed PM. We are working with all the surrounding businesses who are looking at their camera footage for any evidence of dumping/neglect. All the puppies, mama, and the male doodle are doing great!

KK’s and I have decided to partner and take on all the dogs. We both have a lot of experience and education so they are all in good hands. We will be setting up a GoFundMe and an Amazon Wish List. We also will most likely need a foster/adopters for all the dogs.

Both mama and the male doodle will have to be spayed/neutered before we adopt them out. We also will be making any puppy adopters sign a spay/neuter contract with our veterinarian.

If you are interested in adopting any of these dogs with any interest in breeding them, do NOT reach out 😀

If you’d like to give one a loving home, reach out to begin the approval process and get on the waitlist!

We will be rearing the puppies the Avidog way with ENS (early neurological stimulation) and ESI (early scent introduction) to give them the best chance. https://www.cosmopolitandogs.com/what-are-puppy-culture-and-avidog

They will be ready to go home the end of November!

I am also excited to share that we have had someone by an Embark 🧬 kit, so we will know exactly what the puppies are before they go home!

Ask and you shall receive! 💜🪄

Class times have been adjusted to better accommodate everyone’s schedules.

If you’d like to enroll in one of the upcoming mini courses, please reach out to me directly! 🎃🐾

Quick overview of what each class entails:

Cautious Canine 👀 - is targeted towards our nervous or fearful dogs but please no reactivity. Maybe your pup missed out on proper socialization and exposure? No worries, throughout this course we will cover methods of building confidence and management!

Loose Leash Walking 🐕- Exactly what it says! We will be working on loose leash walking manners. Got a puller or a weaver? This is the one for you.

Intro to Nosework 🐽 - This course is a unique course exploring a variety of nosework activities. Getting ready for those long winter months it’s a good idea to have inside friendly mental stimulation outlets! Have a pup that enjoys sniffing or just looking to try something new? This is the course for you.

Reliable Recall 💨- Everyone wants to know that when they call HERE their dog is going to come running. In this course we will cover some relationship and engagement building activities, working recall and proofing it through distractions.
