We have been especially blessed in 2024 and we have you to thank! If you called us for help, thank you! If you took action and started training with us, thank you! If you spoke kindly and supportively to a friend or neighbor who is struggling with their dog and referred us, thank you! It is truly an honor to serve our community and share our gift in helping you and your dog live better lives together.

2024 brought a monthly radio show opportunity with KAFM (call us if you have ideas for topics to discuss in 2025! Listen for us the last Thursday of every month.) We celebrated our 20 yr anniversary in business here in GJ! We were honored by being voted on and winning the Best of the West in dog training award! We met and taught some awesome kids and seniors at the Dist 51 career center and the volunteer organization RSVP thru our Mindful Mutts program at Mesa county animal services! (Teri designed this program to bring high schoolers and senior volunteers together to learn about dog training and to help shelter dogs like a Doberman named "Baloo" pictured below, build basic skills to help them get adopted- a real win win!)

2025 will be equally stellar as we look forward to the release of Teri's new book (hint- it's a personal memoir about lessons learned from all the dogs and other animals that she's had the honor to share life with and how she got where she is today- it's a page turner so watch for that!), a help for the reactive dog book is also in the works, new classes are shaping up like a "tricks class" and a "hounds about town" class as well as continuing our popular surviving puppyhood course, basic angels course, therapy dog course and so much more! We are excited for what's to come!

Wishing each and everyone of you a Happy New Year! We are always here if you need us- we look forward to seeing you again soon, or meeting you for the first time!

GIFT GIVING IDEA!!!
Adding a puppy to a persons life for Christmas is such a personal thing. The reciever should really do the choosing though as the bonding usually starts then and there. It allows them be part of the process. So rather than surprising them with the dog sight unseen, you can be part of this magical moment with
🐶 a gift certificate to a local rescue for the amount of money an adoption costs (if they don't offer gift certificates you can easily make a homemade one and then make arrangements with the rescue with the payments ahead of time) AND/OR
🐶 a gift certificate to a local pet supply store or give a basket of toys with a Kong or Topl, and squeaky toys and puppy chew bones, then go with them to a rescue as they select the dog they with share their life with AND/OR
🐶 a gift certificate for training from Angels in the Making (it can be part of the basket of toys idea!) as ALL puppies, dogs and owners need good training through positive reinforcement
🐶 or do all 3!

Your gift now just, made someone super happy, saved a dogs life, and gave money to a local small business or 2 that employs local grand valleyites! It's a win win win!!!

If the training certificate resonates with you, check out our home page. Just click on "gift certificate" and fill out the short form. It's all digital and super easy. We can make them for any amount of money AND personalize it with the recipients name!!! We create it, email it to you (snail mail too but you'll have to act fast!) you print it out and viola! Another gift done! You can also roll it up, tie a Christmas bow around it, and put it in a stocking!
