Incase any owners who have intact pups are wondering, we DO take intact dogs for boarding and/or training!

Intact males are kept seperate from any intact females at all times.

Additionally, one situation you may not think to board your dog, is if you have a female dog in season(in heat)!

Boarding your male dog(s) while your female dog is in season, not only prevents an accidental litter if you have intact male dogs... But can also save you and your male dog's sanity if they go nuts during that time. 💗🐾

In conclusion, this study shows that the risk of cranial cruciate ligament disease in dogs is linked to how long they are exposed to natural s*x hormones, and the relationship isn’t simple or linear. The highest risk was seen when females were spayed before about 1054 days (just under 3 years) and males before about 805 days (a little over 2 years). These results may help define what counts as “early” spay or neuter when it comes to cranial cruciate ligament disease risk.

Veterinary reproduction specialists now recommend hormone-preserving sterilization: preventing unwanted litters & less risk of torn cruciates.

Training is NOT 1 and done!

If you hit the gym for a week or so 1 time and never go again... will you still have the same muscle? NO! 💪🚫

If you learn a new skill, but never practice after learning it... will you retain the knowledge and skill? Absolutely not! 🧠🚫

This is the exact same premise as training your dog!

If you send them to a dog trainer, but don't follow through with the skills and new rules, your dog will not retain everything it just learned.

If you teach your dog a new trick or command, but never practice it, your dog may eventually forget or wont be able to hold the command, ESPECIALLY when it matters.

Practice makes perfect. Spend time training your pup and growing a bond through leadership. 🐾💗

Now that Pepsi is looking for a new home, here's some info on him! Feel free to contact me ( Alivia Beckett) through PM if you're interested in adopting him!

Hes a sweet boy and I've loved training him!

Breed: Shih Tzu
Kennel name: None
Male or Female: Male
Spayed or Neutered: Intact
D.O.B. or approximate age: 1 year roughly
Do they have papers: No
Current Location: Grand Rapids, MI
Health issues: (neutered, vaccinated, microchipped) UTD on shots, no chip, major underbite and potential bone structure issues

Behavioural assessment: completed by KinderK9 Dog Training
Good with other dogs: A little pushy with new dogs, but is great with rules and consistency
Good with cats: Neutral, very curious.
Good with children: Dislikes children, has a mild fear of them but is managable with boundaries.
Training: General obedience, mostly crate trained, potty trained, E-collar trained.
Kennel trained: Yes, but does best in wire kennels.
Destructive: Can be, but usually isnt besides chewing. He is a puppy still and has to be reminded what is and isn't appropriate to play with!

History: Purchased from a unethical breeder, went through professional training after he was provided zero structure or rules as a puppy and he became a problem. He went home from training and was not treated kindly, causing fear of children, and his training was not upkept. He has since been relinquished to me(his former trainer), and has been undergoing professional training again, while being fostered by me.
Bite history? Has a bite history of 7 people at his previous home. Has since undergone serious training and is doing well!

Ideal home:
A child free home, with experienced dog owners. Pepsi requires an owner who understands dogs body languange, will keep up with his training needs, has some patience, and will set (AND KEEP) firm boundaries while still being loving to him!

He loves to hang out with his people. He is a good boy when you take the time to work with him and keep up on rules and expectations! 💖🐾

A non-breeding and a return contract will be signed by adopters!
A re-homing/adoption fee does apply to help ensure he goes to a good home!

Update on Winnie, my former foster and train dog🥹

She is living an AMAZING life with her new owners, "sibling" dogs, and her kids. She runs and plays, has plenty of toys, and is a confident girl!

When I brought her home she was so thin we could see her spine and ribs, she was scared to even move and it took 15 minutes to get her out of the car, and she was not potty trained in the slightest despite being 5 years old.

She was such a sweet girl. I'm so happy that I had the opportunity to rehabilitate and train her, as well as find her the loving home she deserves.💞
