Boarding dogs
My 4th of July boarding crew! Plus a foster dog.
Some Kiki progress I happened to have on video.
Kiki and her loving family had been traumatized by previous trainers and their methods. None of the other trainers even took the time or compassion to try to Pet Kiki. It resulted in an already terrified pup, becoming an aggression case. She was reactive and a high bite risk to people as well as dogs.
After many weeks we were able to give her access to positive thoughts and have happy moments! She was coming out of her suppression and fear. We reached a point where I noticed she had more of a desire to befriend dogs. After a few weeks of small introductions and positive experiences, we decided try to day of daycare. I am so lucky to have my lovely “land of mistfit toys” and their amazing parents. She was able to work through all thoughts, without risking herself, or others. We found her brain and watched it work!
Training is about progress not perfection. The optical illusion of a trained dog, is not the same as having a dog that is genuinely safe. There is so much that goes into each dogs training plan to ensure they are prepared for the future. We focus on long term satisfaction! Rehabilitation of dogs takes time, patience and understanding.
Pups
We love our dogs. Blizzy is a great example of a dog who was not so great with humans and dog’s originally. Her family and I have worked very hard to accomplish this trustworthy, happy pup!
Side note admiral (pitty) is available for adoption. You may recognize him because I fostered him back in March when his elderly owners were unable to care for him anymore. He eventually was taken back into the care of the SPCA of Fredericksburg ,where he originally was adopted from. He has been at their facility for nearly a year at this point. He also comes with training classes to help transition him into the new home.
Einstein is loving having Dallas here for boarding!

We donated our time and awesome unicorns 🦄 to Central Virginia Horse Rescue this past weekend!
It takes a lot of work to achieve calm Leash walking. This is just a quick example using daycare dogs. My kids did so good and worked so hard. We focus on teaching what is appropriate, in a way that dogs understand! Our dogs are companions and members of the family.

Please share video. Tony needs a forever home or rescue! He has a temporary foster. 3 yr old neutered male. Can be mouthy, so No kids under 10. Good with dogs and positive, patient people! Kennel trained, decent at sharing toys and food with humans. Located in Fredericksburg Virginia. 
Tony is in our training to help him find the right forever home. He also has been to the Spotsy Dog Park Inc. and attended doggy daycare. He did great at both!
No need to drive out of state to find your next furry friend! Lisa Sperry McConnell already did that. She drove to Florida to save Tony from euthanasia due to overcrowding. No bite history. Unfortunately, when she returned to Virginia, the foster and rescue did not follow through on their commitment. Now he needs a quality rescue or adopter!

Meet Marvin our foster!
Young adult male from Spotsylvania Animal Shelter
After being returned several times we decided to foster sweet Marvin and see if we could help him find his forever people.
He has some separation anxiety, but nothing some proper positive crate training could not fix. He has a BIG bark, so even though it’s only a few barks, they sound loud. He is a big, strong boy.
We have seen ZERO aggression from him, and we put him through all situations.
Please reach out to us prior to surrendering your dog. The shelters are overflowing, and a lot of times seeking help from a professional can help a dog stay in its home! We love fostering, but we could help more dogs if their humans reached out! 😊
