This is really hard for me, because I love my dogs and have always got dogs with the belief and intention of keeping them their whole lives. We have recently gotten out of hobby breeding with our 2 females and our family dynamic has changed quicker than we expected with a second little one on the way!

I would love to say we could keep all our dogs and give them all the quality time, exercise, and mental stimulation they deserve, but realistically with us having 7 dogs and 2 kiddos under two years old I know that's just not the case (and that's not fair to them). So with that being said, we have decided to re-home 3 of our dogs. With the holidays approaching I am going to be very particular on who they go to, because they are super good dogs and they deserve good homes. Below is information on each of them. Please message me if your interested

*They are all up to date on their shots with a 3 yr Rabies and are all in good health. They all do well with grooming and stand nicely for - nail trims, being bathed, brushed, trimmed up, ears cleaned, a**l glands expressed, and teeth brushed.

•Bear - 5 yr old Mini Aussie Female (25lbs)

Bear is a love-a-duck and loves people and kids! She is good with other dogs, cats, livestock (has been around horses, chickens, goats, etc) and is a very quiet dog - not a barker. She is potty trained and kennel trained and knows all her basic obedience commands and a couple fun tricks (like spin, shake, roll over, pray, and will pick things you drop up on cue to hand them back to you - she will even pick up my credit card, lol). She will also play fetch. She is eager to please and is a great lap dog who loves to snuggle and be pet. The only negative about her is she does jump up sometimes on people when they first come over, but will get down if you tell her "uh uh"

•Freya - 4 yr old Mini Aussie Female (30lbs)

If you are an active person or looking for a fetch buddy then Freya is your lady! Freya would play fetch with you forever if you would let her and she will drop the ball in your hand or at your feet on each return without a command, but she will also stop if you tell her to take a break and go lay down. She also loves doing the agility courses! Freya is kennel trained and house trained. She knows all of her basic obedience commands with some fun tricks (shake, roll over, play dead, etc). She does well with cats, goats, chickens, etc. Freya does well with all our dogs and my mom's dog, but does take a little time to warm up to new dogs. She can be nervous/ wary of new people/ kids at first, but if you play fetch with her she warms up pretty quickly.

•Rolex - 3 yr old Mini Aussie Male (25lbs)

Rolex is the only dog I have who I did not get as a puppy. I bought him from another breeder when he was already over a year old. I'm not sure what his life was like before I got him, but I feel like unfortunately he was sitting in a kennel for most of it. He is super sweet, and is outgoing here at home with our dogs and with new people/ kids who stop by, but he is really shy in new environments. He is kennel trained, but I would not say he is house trained. He has only free roamed in the house for short periods of time (and does so, with no accidents) but I am monitoring him during those times. He is smart so I think he could pick it up quickly though. He likes people/ kids and is good with cats, goats, and does well with our dogs and my mom's dog. But is nervous around new dogs. He is super low drive and would be happy to just sit by you and be pet all day! He also knows his basic obedience commands.

Again, please reach out if you are interested or have questions about these guys. They are truly awesome dogs and I usually get complimented on how well behaved they are when we go out or go to the vet. I don't take this lightly, in fact I've been dragging my feet on it, but I also want to do what's fair for them and want them to have good lives.

I have been slacking on posting videos. Life is so busy lately!

Here is a fun one! I had the opportunity to work with 2 of the Mini Aussie pups we bred here both at the same time, but from different families. It was super cool to see them all grown up and fun to see the traits they had from both their parents.

This was just shy of a week in training so mostly working on sit, down, body positioning, and the start of our stay

08/24/2024

I sent Zilla home today! She was here for a 4 week board and train and was a fun dog to work with! Here is a video of one of our last training sessions with no treats working on some stays and in a pair setting with one of my other board and trains, Ryker!

08/18/2024

Working with my 4 weeker Zilla, on stay with distractions! She is doing so awesome and getting better everyday. We have have been working with more distractions and doing more pair/ group obedience in these last couple weeks to get her ready to head back home!!!

I have had quite a few people tell me over the years that I should post a video of a dog from the very beginning of our board and train and then from the end, to show the transformation. I have never done it before, because I normally don't film our first training session. But also I feel bad to, in a sense, portray someone's pet/ family member in a poor light. The owner knows where they are starting from and it doesn't matter to me where that starting line is. I would rather focus more on their achievements and success they have here

But, with that being said. I have finally decided to post one with this dog due to the situation and also to make a statement

Greta was a victim of an all too common fate. Someone got a puppy/ pet on a whim because she was cute, but didn't realize the amount of time/ work an animal is. Maybe they got tired of her being rowdy, or she had too many potty accidents, or she wasn't as cute as she got older, or ....fill in the blank. But for whatever reason they dumped her on a gravel road and left her to fend for herself, not caring what her outcome would be. Fortunately for her; an awesome family opened up their home, took her in, and gave her the opportunity to have a good life!

I have had the privilege to work with her these past 2 weeks! I taught her some obedience skills and helped set an expectation for being a great family dog! She was eager to learn and had a very good nature with a strong desire to please. It makes me sad that someone would carelessly toss such a gem. So to them I say, "Although you discarded her like trash, just a rock with dirt on it. Had you took the time to wipe off the dirt and polish it you would have realized it was really a diamond, a beautiful treasure!!!"

Greta is such a great dog, a true treasure! Thank you to the family who gave her a second chance!!! ❤️

Just a nice leisurely walk with a couple stays along the way! Greta is such a fun dog to work with ❤️

Using a tug of war game to work on a drop it with Shania! Also working on her sit, down, and stay. This is a great way to work/play with a dog who is more toy motivated than treat motivated!

Helping Daisy build some confidence with a fun exploration game!

This is a simple game where I set up the room with various toys and objects to place treats in/ around/ under/ and on. Then I give the dog 15 -20 minutes to explore at their own pace - no commands and no prompting. Just letting them do their thing and problem solve on their own, which builds confidence

She was a lot more confident playing this game today, even with me incorporating different objects and toys than yesterdays sessions. The baby swing was the most scary thing for her, but she eventually went back over to reinvestigate and got the treats off it!

"How do you train dogs with your little baby?"

Like this! She is my little side kick and tags along with us. I love the first picture in this sequence 🥰

We took Cooper to Tractor Supply this morning and he did great! He even stood next to me and waited patiently as I readjusted Em and gave her her pacifier.

We will be going on more outings to continue building up his confidence, work on his training, and start phasing out treats. But all in all, I was super happy with how this morning went

I sent miss Daisy home today! I was super excited for her, but sad to see her go. She was a joy to work with 😁

She is one of the pups from Bear and Rolex's most recent litter! And it was super fun to have the opportunity to work with one of their pups

Some of you probably know I started my career as the head trainer for a service dog organization before I decided to start my own company and cater to the pet dog industry. I love working with pet dogs and educating clients so they can have an awesome relationship and connection with their pups!

I don't do much with service dogs anymore, but when Cooper's owners told me their story and asked if I could train him to help with bracing I was excited to take a step back into my past and help!

Cooper is a super handsome boy and is a mix of two of my favorite breeds - German Shepherds and Australian Shepherds! I am so proud of his progress so far - we have been working on our basic commands along with some bracing (teaching him stand and hold weight when we stop walking as well as bracing to assist his owner getting up off the floor)

Cooper is such an awesome dog and I can't wait to start working on some public access training 🥰

We've been practicing leash walking with Daisy and Cooper and are really enjoying our evening strolls when the weather cools down!

Ready set go!!! I have dogs coming tomorrow and I'm so excited!

The kennels had a deep cleaning and we have our 10ft fencing in the back play yard almost done (you can see it in the second picture)

And of course I had to throw in one more photo of my personal dogs with Em! They are just so darn cute 🥰 (I do want to note that I normally would not lean a little baby up against a dog like that, due to safety and because it's an invasion of the dog's personal space, but Seraph is a fairly bomb proof dog and has a super solid stay)

Doing some deep cleaning and finishing up some projects in preparation for starting back up May 1st! I'm so thankful for the time off, so I could recover and bond with our new little one. But I am also excited to get back to work and start training dogs again!!! 🥰

I have some great helpers keeping me company as I get everything up and running again!

I am enjoying my new title as "mom," and spending my maternity leave with our new little girl, Emelyn! 🥰

Here is a throwback video. Doing some group obedience with Millie, Daisy, Penny, Biscuit, and Archee! It's so much fun and really rewarding to have the dogs able to practice their skills all together with the distraction of each other. These guys did awesome 🥳

Enjoy the video. I'm thankful for the time off and will be starting back up the beginning of May!

I'm down to my last puppy and funny enough he is actually the one I would have picked to keep out of all of them! He is a super sweet boy and I absolutely LOVE his coloration! 😍

He is just over 9 weeks old, has an awesome demeanor, has been doing a great job with potty training so far, doing great with socialization with other dogs and cats, does a great job staying around me when we are outside playing, and coming when I call for him

He is up to date on all his shots and dewormings and will be 20-30lbs full grown (and yes, he will keep those gorgeous blue eyes)

Let me know if your interested in him, he will probably go quick!
