I can’t believe my best girl turned 7 today?!!! Where has the time gone.

I could add hundreds of photos from all of the adventures, cuddles and accomplishments we have made together though the years. She’s been by my side through it all. I don’t know where my life would be today if I had never impulse bought that chocolate puppy. 🍫

If you know Charlie you know she has the best personality and a way of making everyone fall in love with her. Praying for 70 more years together since I refuse to even think about being without her🥹🥹

Happy birthday Charlie🎉🎂

Every year when hunting seasons opens I’m reminded of why I fell in love with dogs in the first place.

The silence and peace sitting in the middle of the field with people you love and a dog that is so damn happy to be with you and work for you.

It’s an indescribable feeling.

Cinnamon officially graduated! 🎓🐾

Today, we wrapped up her training with a send-home lesson, showing her family everything she has learned and helping them feel confident continuing her training at home. Cinnamon has made incredible progress in her obedience, confidence, and ability to listen around distractions. She worked so hard, and I’m so proud of the transformation she has had here!

Congratulations, Cinnamon and Gabby! We’re going to miss this sweet girl at CTK! 🥰

Growing up with you✨

The past 6 (almost 7) 🥲years with Charlie have brought so many changes. 6 moves, a few different jobs and a baby later and she’s still my best friend.

June bug appreciation post🥰🥰

A good dog is truly priceless. Especially as a trainer. There’s been so many times where she has completely changed a dog’s attitude in training by just having her there and showing them “Hey it’s alright.” It takes a specific kind of dog to put up with puppies pulling on her, unsocialized dogs barking or growling at her, other dogs trying to steal her toys etc. and she never lets it get to her. THAT is confidence.

She’s helped dozens of dogs learn how to be comfortable around new dogs, socialized more puppies than I can count, and helped get dogs excited about retrieving birds.

We raised her in the house as a puppy but quickly realized she couldn’t care less about cuddles and family time. She wanted one thing and one thing only, to retrieve. She makes my job so much easier, and I’m incredibly thankful I get to use her to help so many other dogs.

And if you know June, you know how much she sure does love her job. 🥹

Can I be vulnerable for a second?

I’m a perfectionist, and I don’t think I’ve ever ended a day feeling like I was both a good mom and a good business owner all in one day.

I put my all into everything I do, and it often feels like something or someone isn’t getting enough of me.

When I’m working, I feel ALL the mom guilt, and when I’m with my family, I worry about the kennel. My mind is constantly in five places at once thinking about what needs to be done, what I may have forgotten, and who needs me next.

I’ve realized that balance isn’t real. At least not in the way we’re made to believe it is. Some days, my business needs more of me. Other days, my family does. Most days, I’m just trying to show up the best I can for both.

But maybe it isn’t about finding the perfect “balance”. It’s about loving my family deeply, believing in what I’m building, and giving myself grace along the way.

If you’re a mom building something of your own and wondering if you’re doing enough, you’re not alone. 🤎
