We are the definition of small business. Our whole family is involved each and every day. When your dog stays with us we treat them as one of our own. They see the same few faces each day and we are able to form a special bond. Our three kids are very involved, they know the proper way to care of animals and are learning the ins and outs of running a business at 10, 7, and 5 years old. They also know that being able to work hard at something you love is a great gift in life!

This is our client and good friend David. David recently lost his service dog Drago who was his best friend. We have never seen a bond quite like the one they shared. Jay trained Drago years ago and delivered him to David. Since then, David and his family have become like family to us. David bred Drago and this is where he got Keeper. Keeper has been in extensive training with Jay ever since Drago passed. Well last week was his big debut and we could not be happier for David and Keeper!

Don’t let those eyes and big ears fool you… this girl is ready at any moment.

This is Ara. She is finnishing up her training with us as a personal protection dog. We customize each protection dog based off of client expectation and living situation. Once knowing that information, all candidates are carefully reviewed by Jay before choosing the perfect dog. Ara will be going to a family with small children and two other dogs. We had to make sure her personality would be a good fit for that but also have the drive to be a protection dog. She checks all boxes. Since we have small children and dogs ourself we have made sure she has been exposed to them throughout her training. She has been nothing but sweet. We are excited for Ara to move on to the next chapter!
