Happy Independence Day! Every good dog knows that freedom isn’t free. It always comes with responsibility.

Today we remember those who gave their all and went above and beyond the call of duty to defend the freedom we enjoy. May we honor their sacrifice well by being good stewards of the liberty we’ve been given.

Christine is a remarkable intuitive and wise Trainer. We hired her for our Standard Poodle puppy but the wisdom from the training has served me personally in so many life affirming ways. Wish I had her training insights when I still had children at home! She truly has the manual the rest of us have been looking for. If you are looking for a trainer with high aptitude and standards, Christine is a gem.—Cindy B.

Last week, we partnered with Lake Area Veterinary Group at the MI Career Quest to give 9th graders in the Sturgis area a chance to explore the veterinary medicine and K9 training industries. We enjoyed interacting with students, answering questions, and imparting knowledge. Homer, Legend, Trustee, and Trouper were great assistants!

When you CAN’T…
🐾 Bring a smile
🐾 Earn enough trust for a child to feel safe hugging you
🐾 Calm the nervous system down
🐾 Help little people process big emotions
🐾 Show love by giving lots of kisses
🐾 Gently lick the tears away
🐾 Bring healing just by walking into the room

🐶 A THERAPY DOG CAN 🐶

But you CAN
▶️ Recognize that sometimes a dog can do what you cannot
▶️ Train a dog well so he/she can bring God’s joy to hurting hearts
▶️ Support those who are doing this special work

I feel so blessed to hold the leash! Thanks, Trustee and Trouper, for your years of faithful service. You are unsung heroes!

At Trustee Training Services, we believe that the connections you build are more important than the commands that you teach. By consistently connecting work with play, Legend has learned to LOVE his work and may even see it as part of his play.

Trustee Training Services presented Lessons From Lad to 170+ students at Jefferson Elementary School last evening. Trustee, Trouper, and Legend made the lessons leap to life by demonstrating how to “Tell Yourself No,” “Be Nosy,” and “Forgive Quickly.” I love teaming up with these three to make a positive impact on youth!

Our first total eclipse was truly LEGENDary! Legend was too busy noticing the activity around us to notice the eclipse above us, but we had a pair of solar eclipse sunglasses handy just in case. 😉

Afterwards, we shared some Legend love and a copy of Lessons From Lad with the local fire department.

Is agility training on your bucket list for 2023? Playground agility is a great way to begin! Here are some essential prerequisites: 1. Basic obedience: a reliable response to basic commands like Heel, Halt, Sit, Down, and Stay. 2. Ability to focus on the handler. 3. Perch Training (teaching the dog to place front or rear paws on a platform to increase body awareness.) Other tips: - Choose times when the playground isn’t busy. - Be respectful of children around you and defer to them. - Watch for danger, such as places paws could get caught or slip through. - Be patient! Expect your dog to be cautious when trying new things. - Puppies under 18 months should never jump off of things higher than 18 inches. This was Legend’s second time on playground agility and he loved it! #agilitytraining #playgroundagility #LadsLegend #TrainingBuiltonTrust #legendaryadventures

A fun, work-for-freedom routine on the 4th of July. Freedom is the most powerful of the four natural motivating factors. There are definitely a few things that need refinement, but for now, we just love watching Legend’s wholehearted enthusiasm!! #trusteetrainingservices #teamlegend #legendaryadventures #trusteepawstraining #LegendaryHolidays #LadsLegend #PuppyTraining #TrainingBuiltonTrust #k9training #risingstar #TrusteePuppies #4thofjuly2023

Although we’ll never fully understand why people allow their dogs to run the fence line and terrorize everyone who walks by, it sure does create a wonderful opportunity to work on “Leave it!” 😂 Lad’s Legend totally rocked this tonight! #looseleashwalking #leadtraining #trusteetrainingteam #trusteetrainingservices #packwalk #teamtrouper #teamlegend #legendaryadventures #trusteepawstraining #LadsLegend #PuppyTraining #TrainingBuiltonTrust #risingstar #TrusteePuppies

Meet the Team

Christine’s journey with dogs began at the age of ten when her grandparents gifted her with a Shih-Tzu puppy. Her nine-year tenure in 4-H Dog Club launched her interest in K9 Training, a trade she pursued part-time following high school graduation.

In 2013, Christine brought home two 7-week-old puppies from the same litter: Trouper, a low-drive, laid back fellow; and Trustee, a high-drive, aggressive pup who quickly became a handful.

By 3 months of age, Trustee appeared to be on a fast track to becoming a rescue.

When all attempts to train Trustee only increased his aggressive tendencies, Christine began to earnestly search for answers. The authentic principles she discovered transformed her approach to training and became the major turning point in Trustee’s behavior.
