I'm ready to dive back in! We did a deep clean on the facility, we reseeded both the yards (so hopefully the bare spots will fill in soon), we have the 10ft fencing in the back yard almost finished, and have panels on order to extend the indoor portion of all the runs

I have a busy few weeks of boarding, so wish me luck! I'm excited to see all my boarding clients 😊

I just finished up my last set of in-home sessions so now I am officially on Maternity leave!

During this last set of sessions I had the opportunity to work with this fun little guy, Winston. Winston is deaf and partially blind, but that didn't stop him! He was eager to learn and quick to pick up on our hand cues. I'm super proud of the progress he made over our 6 sessions, the owners did a great job working on the homework each week with him! What a unique case to end on for a little while 😊

Hey, just wanted to let all my clients know that I will be taking April/ May off for maternity leave!

I will be starting back up the beginning of June for general boarding and in-home-training sessions. *I want all my clients to be aware that upon my return there will be a slight increase in my boarding rate

Working with my last board and train for who knows how long... we'll see where life takes us and my business with our family growing. What a fun dog to finish out with!

Bow is reviewing all the commands he's been learning using part of his breakfast this morning! He is a super fun, sweet boy, who really enjoys learning new things!!!

I'm so thankful for the opportunity to work with Bow, but am also excited to take my business in this new direction of focusing on in-home sessions and general boarding

I sent Miss Bailey home this morning after her 2 week board and train. Here is a conglomeration of some of our videos throughout her time here! We were working on her basic obedience commands and being more calm around kiddos - not jumping up on them

Sending her home was a little bittersweet for me. She has done awesome, so I was super excited for her! But also she is one of my last board and trains before I step away from that training aspect of my business.

As Jeremy and I start this new journey of having multiple kiddos, I will still be offering in-home sessions and general boarding, but will not be doing board and trains anymore. At least not for the first year or two. I know I'm going to miss it, but I'm also excited for this new adventure as a mom of two littles!!!

Working with Rudolph (Rudi) just in time for Christmas! 🎄🦌

Rudi tends to be reactive towards other dogs/ animals on TV and while on leash. So we have been working on our heel and walking past/ up to new dogs (who are both stationary and moving targets). This was a video of one of our training sessions yesterday using Iris (who he had never met before as a stationary dog) for a distraction. He did super awesome, and never barked or lunged the whole session!!! Super proud of you Rudi

This is Guinness, a happy go lucky super sweet golden except for when it came to his food. Like many dogs he struggled with resource guarding on his food and with bones.

Resource guarding is an all too common behavior problem that I see people sweep under the rug or "manage," saying it's not a problem, until one day someone gets bit or worse multiple bites. Then all of a sudden it's finally a problem! Sadly, in most of these cases when the owners finally reach out they are in a panic and say to me, "we either fix it or re-home the dog." This isn't always the case, but I see it happen that way a lot. (Guinness' case was different the owners were dedicated to fixing the problem and had been trying multiple methods and things at home to fix the problem, but it continued to get worse so they reached out for help)

I'm using Guinness' case as a platform to say that resource guarding (or possessive aggression) is nothing to be embarrassed about. It is actually an instinctual dog behavior and would be a valuable behavior for a feral dog's survival. But with that being said, it can also be worked on and corrected with some time and dedication. So why not fix the problem before it gets worse and you have a "real problem," because the problem is not going to fix itself.

This is a before and after video, it does not show all of the steps and build up we did over the course of his board and train to get to this point. Please consult a trainer before working on this at home.

Sniper is here for a board and train and he has been working really hard on not barking/ lunging at people we see on walks and out in public. He has made tremendous strides and today I put him to the ultimate test going to Walmart and walking around the parking lot - where there were lots of cars, people, and shopping carts moving around us. He was able to walk nicely in a heel and didn't bark at anyone! Here is a short clip! Great job buddy!!!

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

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!

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!!! ❤️
