My best friend is 14 today! Kyia has been the best we could've ever hoped for ❤️❤️❤️

Hey, current and past clients!! If you have a minute, will you please leave a review of your experiences with me and training on the reviews/ratings portion of this page? I have some new people who don't know anything about me asking for reviews or referrals and I've noticed that most on here are pretty old. I'd appreciate it!

Your dog doesnt need to have terrible behaviors to get a lot out of training. I have several clients train w me just to give their dogs a happier, more fulfilled life. From training for Canine Good Citizen to visit nursing homes, to fun games like scent training, to door behavior and household expectations! Your dog deserves a scheduled time to focus on their well being and purpose in life. Sign up today!

I am just so proud of this dog and her humans. Blossom was very very reactive and barked/lunged at people, dogs, and even parked vehicles sometimes. After a lot of work, we are finally able to start taking her in public and she is not reacting to those things at all! (Dogs are still at a distance, but we are getting there!)

Who needs to sign up for Spring training? I have openings! This time of year, schedules can fill up fast so reserve your spot today to work on those home and outside/public behaviors!!

Kona graduated! He has come so far with confidence, as he was adopted by his new wonderful family and seemed to come with a lot of past trauma. So proud of him and his humans! 💕

Huge CONGRATS to these 3!!! Nash, Nora, and Milton passed their Canine Good Citizen test tonight after soooo much hard work and consistency from their wonderful humans. So proud of you all! ❤️👊❤️

I share this just about yearly. Never play with a laser light with your dog!! I've known several dogs who end up chasing shadows, injuring themselves and end up with extreme anxiety. I've known some dogs who need to go on anti-psychotic meds because of laser lights
Even after just one time.

Congrats to little Wilson! He finished his puppy training. His big brother, Otis, completed training with me a few years ago so I know wilson will continue to learn from him!

Merry Christmas, everyone!! Hope you all have an amazing day. Give lots of loves to your dogs for me!

Happy Holidays! Get (or give)the gift of training for your dog or puppy! I offer private, in-home training around the Green Bay area. It's never too early or too late to start giving your dog the training he deserves. I have some new timeslots opening up for January! Mondays at 9am or 10:30am, and Wednesdays at 12:30pm! If interested in setting something up, please send me a message! Also, please share! :)

I have a few early daytime timeslot openings right now! This is rare, so if you've been wanting to schedule and haven't yet, now is the time before I get busy with Christmas puppies! (Or if YOU are getting a Christmas puppy, schedule now to hold your spot!) Please message me to get on schedule. :)

I've been trying to find the words and there just aren't any. One of the bestest boys passed last week. Duke was in all the classes with me back in my Petsmart days and continued training long after with private, in home training with his brothers. Some of you probably remember Duke . He was (his owner's) Kelly's "soul dog". The one dog that really connects to your soul more than others, even though you absolutely love every dog you've ever owned. There's always an extra special one and Duke was hers. Please send Kelly and Patrick some extra healing energy or prayers as they lost this sweet boy too soon. I will forever remember you, Duke. 💔💕💫

My best friend is pushing 14 years old. I am so thankful I can still do things like this with her. ❤️

Fun playing "find me" with Callie and Jaz! This cue should be a fun game to the dogs so that if we ever need to use in case of an emergency, they will respond no matter the distraction. 😍

09/05/2023

Kids are back in school and after much consideration and planning, I am finally able to take new clients! DAYTIME/weekday availability only. If you've been trying to get in training with me and have availability during the day, please let me know if I haven't contacted you already!

This was so awesome! A HUGE heartfelt thank you to all that took time out of a beautiful day, gas, driving out here and spending time to make a 6 year old so very happy.

Tomorrow at 130pm! If I didn't message you details for making my son's birthday amazing, and you wanted to bring your dog, let me know asap!

08/12/2023

One week for doggy parade! If you volunteered to bring your dog to make my son's bday amazing, please comment below so I can be sure to send you details! Again, please be sure to only bring dogs that are good with kids and other dogs. It will be super quick, probably 15 minutes or less. Just a wonderful surprise for a boy who adores dogs. ❤️. August 19 at 130pm.

Calling all past and present clients! As you know, my son LIVES to see dogs. Nothing in this world makes him happier than dogs. One of my clients mentioned I should have a dog parade in my driveway for his birthday (Aug 19) and I think that is a great idea! He would be over the moon about seeing a bunch of dogs for his bday. So, if you are free on Saturday, Aug 19, and your dog LOVES kids and is GENTLE with kids (and is good with other dogs), and you wouldn't mind coming over for a quick parade down the driveway (like 10 mins!), please let me know! Please don't feel obligated, just wanted to throw it out there and see if it's a possibility. I'm thinking maybe around 2pm?

Sharing in case any of you have information.

Happy 14th Birthday to my best friend! Kyia has been the absolute perfect dog for our family and we are so lucky she's ours.

Learn first-aid techniques now – including the Heimlich Maneuver – so you can save a choking dog in an emergency.

Not easy to walk nicely without pulling at all towards me with piles of treats with one dog, let alone two! (If they pull, they have to turn around and start over). They took a couple tries, but Cannon and Flanagan made it!

Recent graduates! All the hard work pays off and I love to see these families and dogs so happy! Congrats 👏

Please please please don't ever get 2 puppies from the same litter. From a socio-emotional development side of things, it's so important that puppies of the same litter separate (at least for a few days) before they are 10 weeks old. Also, research littermate syndrome. Here's a good overview of the difficulties of having 2 puppies at once. I would be very skeptical of ANY breeder who allows 2 puppies to go to the same home. (I've not heard of any shelters allowing this). It's not that it can't be done, but it is so much work and there is a lot that needs to be done to ensure both puppies develop properly.

Are you thinking about getting two puppies at the same time? It's more difficult than it seems. Most professionals recommend getting just one puppy at once.

I posted about this way back when this was a huge story. I wasn't sold on the idea that grain free foods caused DCM. Now, there's actually research.

The Best Article of 2022: Exposing the DCM Debate December 16, 2022 December 16, 2022 / Nutrition / By Hemopet Helen Santoro, in our view, authored the most unbiased and best – yet likely the most overlooked – exposé regarding the 2022 debate on dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in companion dogs. ...
