When I was a little girl I dreamed of working with animals. My dream like many people in this field started with being a veterinarian. I went into college to become a tech and I did just that, became licensed and quickly realized that it wasn’t for me. While in college, I got to work under retired police K9 handlers who I admired immensely. It was then, I realized where I belonged. While becoming a police officer wasn’t what I was aiming for, I really wanted to work alongside a K9.
•
Fast forward after many years of training with pets, I was lucky enough to meet some really amazing people that helped me get where I am today.. and to those people I am so grateful. Working as a K9 contractor allows me to do what I love… not only that, but with my own dogs who I’ve learned with, have grown with, have watched flourish into the partners I dreamed of 10 years ago.
•
Working at West Point over the past year, especially the past few months has only made my love for detection even stronger and truthfully it’s where my passion flows. While Alaska is my only certified partner at the moment, big things are coming for little Miss Stevie - we have put in countless hours since she was just 8 weeks old preparing for whats to come and I couldn’t be more excited.
•
Just popping on here to say, I LOVE my job. It is the one thing that I could never get tired of.

Odin🧡🍊
•
Everyone officially meet Odin, formally known as the orange collar puppy from Elroy X Alaska’s first litter! This guy is here for our 4 week program and is about half way through and totally killing it.
•
His owners are actually the same people who own my former B/T Rocky. If you followed me a few years back or check out the highlight on Rocky’s training, you would know how full circle it is to have one of the puppies I bred go to his family. We always said that my dogs made a huge difference in Rocky’s behavior and if I ever bred them, they would love to have a mini version of El and Alaska to continue being Rocky’s support. Now here we are, 3 years later and I am here to help Odin bring to light his best self for his owners and Rocky man🥰
•
Odin is a machine for which has made his training so fun. He loves to work for his handler. His owners wanted us to focus on his impulse control, off leash reliability and being able to walk nicely with another dog through busy city environments. Each day Odin works to improve and has proven himself to be super biddable. I’m really enjoying this guy and loving to see what my two produced in a dog!

REPEAT BREEDING ANNOUNCEMENT‼️‼️
•
Sire: Blackfoot’s Elroy Milan
Dam: Southern Oak’s Alaskas Apricity
•
Climbing Stone Labradors is officially breeding this pair again after such a successful 1st litter. Their first litter has proven to be extremely well rounded, biddable dogs who have gone off to be successful not only in pet homes but in working positions. We expect this next litter to be just the same - confident, friendly, wonderful for an active pet home or working homes varying from scent detection to hunting.
•
Both parents are AKC registered, have health clearances for hips, elbows, eyes and are clear of genetically predisposed diseases.
•
If all goes well, puppies will be born at the beginning of July and go home at 8 weeks old (~beginning of September).
•
These puppies are for purchase, not adoption. They will be microchipped, temperment tested, have first round of vaccines and have extensive socialization all before going to their forever homes.
•
If you are interested in learning more, check out our highlight from the first litter. Feel free to reach out to us via DM or for a puppy application email us at:
[email protected]
•
Stay tuned for updates on puppies from the first breeding of these two!

Day 2 attempt at play with Cleo. Cleo is a 2 year old mixed breed who upon my own observation lacks confidence in herself therefore is reactive to most things, especially when shes not expecting someone or something to to happen. Shes also extremely interested in other dogs and will react on leash towards them out of frustration for her desire to get to them to play. After watching her interact with my dogs, although she wants to play she doesn’t really know how to approach it and will bark in their faces to try and get something going.. but this will turn most dogs away. Now for play with her owners, she has never taken interest in toys. Shes showing that to be true upon our first few attempts at play. Despite dogs being a huge competing motivator for Cleo, I thought lets try teaching her by observation. A dog who takes intense interest in play with me, teaching her the ropes. I am the worst at actually recording myself with dogs. So most of the good stuff wasn’t recorded of course. But in this session not only did Cleo watch Elroy enjoy play with me, but she was able to be goofy with me. This is a big change from when its just her and I trying to play. She also started the session just barking in Elroy’s face but he said “no thanks lady this is how you play” and they wrestled around a bit. We’re creating something here. I l’m not scared to let loose and have genuine fun with the dogs. Yes, i am tired and I wish she was really playing with me but I don’t show that. I show shes welcome to the party. Slowly but surely she will see I am part of the fun too. #trainingwithoutconflict #playbasedtraining #twc #ivanbalabanov
