We’ve been busy busy busy lately! Maybe I’ll start getting in the swing of things and posting again!

Someone passed this onto us and we thought it was a great idea to share.
With the 4th of July right around the corner we tend to get several calls about dogs getting out, and owners frantically trying to find them. We ask that you make sure your dogs have their collars on, updated contact information on their licenses, or do something similar to the picture below !
We can not scan for microchips. We do not have a scanner, and if the vets offices are closed, we will have to transport any found dogs that are unclaimed to Lake County Dog Shelter.
We love our community fur babies and want to make sure they are safe! 🐾💕

The joys of a long line!
1. I’m following the law
2. My dog can not run away
3. I get to play a huge part in the interactions my dogs have.
4. I can make a positive experience for other trail goers both with and without dogs
5. It’s respectful to the property to have good trail manners
6. It’s what the cool kids do 😎

This is the benefit of early socialization and teaching a good off switch! Yes I did say I taught this behavior because I easily could have created a go-go-go Olympic Athlete but I put a ton of time into this baby dog.
I’m in a new place to Natty and I’m just sitting on the loose leash, drinking my ice coffee, while the workers are talking, working on cars, music playing. I got this behavior without me giving her a command, she knew it was time to chill! All of those random trips to places when she was a puppy and waiting her out for calm behaviors has paid off! I now have a fresh 2 year old who can come with me and be a good canine companion. Good girl Natty Bug 💖

🌧️Next class will be March 17th! 🍀

Extra small class today so it looked a little different! Including my dogs coming out to play during class, which they thought was grand!

02/27/2024

Hey crew I have a newly created gap in March from the 13-30th that I’d love to fill with a puppy starter or some visits. I’m also going to slowly start back up some PupCare days so please inquire if you want your pup back on the roster!

02/25/2024

No Class tomorrow- February 25th

02/22/2024

Good little reminder! As always there’s nuance in training and I do work on calling my dogs off the good things but I always reward heavily.

01/16/2024

Snow day! ❄️

01/03/2024

Hey crew, just a refresher as I rebrand everything. I love that I get to be flexible for all your pet care needs and I’m so grateful for all of you! That said, I’m reimplementing my cancellation policy that hasn’t seen the light of day since March of 2020, so this may be new to some of you.
Effective immediately (February 15th, 2022)
I need a minimum of a 24 hour cancellation notice for PupCare.
A minimum of 7 days cancellation notice for a 3-7 day PupStay.
A minimum of 14 day cancellation notice for PupStays 7+ days.
A minimum of 7 days cancellation notice prior to the start of group training class for a full refund.
If the minimum notice is not given, payment will be expected in full on what the agreed upon first day of care was.
This policy helps me make sure my paw counts are accurate and so I can provide the most enriched day(s) for your pets while they are in my care.
I appreciate your understanding and have a paw-tastic day!

Someone once told me to stop teaching so many tricks and silly things but I can’t, I’m building relationships.

One of the many ways I’ve helped the dogs stay cool this weekend. Misting the ones that like it or tolerate it and then encouraging the others to jump into the kiddie pool to help keep their paws and underbellies cool.

So when I ask is your dog/puppy crate trained or are you working on crate training this is what I mean. I’m not talking just about overnights or when you’re not home, which is great too. I’m talking about multiple naps while the humans are home but not necessarily in the same room and not a quiet house. I like to be able to wash my dishes or watch a show or catch up on work while my puppy or dog is safely and happily crated away. I like to allow my kids in messy play that may not be appropriate for puppies to be near. I like my puppies to have an easy way to reset when the chaos of the house is too much. I train this so my dogs are content in their crate and it isn’t traumatic for anyone. I also can’t take full credit for Natty’s crate training as her lovely breeder introduced it to her at a young age so it wasn’t a new thing when she arrived to use which gave us a HUGE advantage. #cratetraining #dogtraining #happyplace

I’d love to chat about seeing your pups tricks! I have a couple dates in April that I’d love to go to the park and trick test or even CGC test some pups! I also have downtown Freeport in backyard if you want to set up some CGCA/U tests! Let’s set something up and have fun with your dogs! I’ll even have ribbons ready 🏅 Video is from a mini series I did at the beginning of the pande called “PJ training” nothing fancy just training dogs in your pjs ❤️

Quick clip of Raven’s off leash heel today. I always have treats in my pockets but I rarely have to remind her. Such a smarty pants #heeling #goldenretriever #dogtraining

I love consulting with families about what to do when babies arrive or even you bring home a furry friend and you have young kids. Remember, they are dogs not mini horses…

Fun little cool off game is to throw kibble or treats into a water bowel or bucket and have your pup bob for treats! . . . . . . #sitstayplaymaine #cooloff #games #bobbingfortreats #doggames #gamesfordogs #enrichment #goldenretriever #waterplay #happypuppy #mentalexercise #enrichmentfordogs

When I say ‘stay’ this is what I mean. What you don’t see clearly is that two sheep cross right in front of me and Rave didn’t consider breaking her stay. This has been achieved by lots of proofing and having clear expectations. Raven is a 21 month old golden retriever, just as a reference. . . . . . #sitstayplaymaine @a.golden.named.raven #goldenretriever #stay #dogtraining #proofing #distractions #the3ds #duration #distance #mainedogtrainer #maine #smartgirl #gooddog

Here’s Raven’s Trick Dog Novice Video! If you would like to sign up for my June 12th 9 am trick Class let me know! I’d love to see you there! It covers novice, intermediate, and advanced level tricks!

On the going to be warmer than usual days I try to do the majority of exercise in the morning or evening so that I don’t have to mess with the heat. I don’t think the dogs mind an early swim

Accurate sometimes 🤣

10/10 recommend

I love these two playing. Some things I want to point out. 1. None of my personal dogs are out with them as I have 2 5 year olds that think this play is rude and obnoxious in the morning and my youngest doesn’t need to be in the play 24/7 2. Look at how they take turns. No one is constantly on top or bottom. 3. Their energy is matched. Which is probably the most important. And their body language is very loose and happy 4. This is not their first time playing together! Fun times all around! . . . . #sitstayplaymaine #pupcare #playtime #hunterdoodle #emmythegolden #bernedoodle #goldenretriever #dogtrainer #mainedogtrainer #appropriateplay
