Foxy Roxy! Here to learn some puppy skills!

Piper using my foot as a pillow like a proper lady. 🥰

Bailey is almost as tall as I am.

02/05/2023

This is Pika. He is staying with us while his mom is training for a new job!

Pika is a lovely blue Doberman but as is common in Dobies, he has quite a bit of anxiety and shows slight indications of CCD. One of his anxiety triggers is unfamiliar environments. Luckily, Pika is no stranger to our home and we’re happy to give him a comfy place to lay his head while his mom finishes her training!

Tina has had her go-home bath and she is ready to see her mom!!! We sure are going to miss her big eyes and her loving personality!

01/06/2023

I upped Tina’s criteria because she was too good at her sit stay. So today I tempted her with her most favorite thing in the whole world. FOOD!

01/06/2023

Sometimes it’s not dogs who are the same size that match up in play groups. I make it a priority to match dogs based on personality and play style!

Your daily dose of Tina-Bean. Waiting at the threshold (the sun was in her eyes so she blinked), loose leash walking, and a beautiful sit while a dog passed in front of us AND a another was barking like crazy through the fence 2 feet away from her.

Hank the Tank has joined us for 4 weeks of board & train!

12/31/2022

This is Sancho and I love him! His parents sometimes work long hours so he will be participating in some daycare and train sessions with us!!

Scooter is here for one night of boarding. This is his favorite chair. This morning he discovered that it spins. I heard him barking and came downstairs to discover he had gotten himself trapped. 👉👉👉 for a picture of trapped scooter.

George gets a little less nervous with each day that passes. He tucks the kids into bed every night. Went for a car ride with me (normally dogs ride in, and stay in crates but George made it very clear to me that he doesn’t do crates 😂). And got a good run in at the park. Good boy George!

11/23/2022

George is here for boarding over the thanksgiving holiday. He is quite nervous but we do our best to make him feel at home.

11/05/2022

Tina is here for training. She is a blonde bombshell of a golden retriever and has the sweetest personality!

Her naughties include excessive leash pulling, counter/table surfing, and invading personal boundaries.

She has already called PETA twice to report me for inadequate distribution of food rations.

Welcome Tina! We’re so glad you’re here!! 💜

Spock is getting in just a bit of light reading after breakfast this morning.

08/08/2022

Spock is back! And he’s already commandeered the comfy bed!

08/08/2022

Scooter was here over the weekend. He is such a personality!

Stanley is here for boarding for 3 weeks while his parents go visit friends and family in the UK. He has stayed with us several times and true to his MO, was being quite an emotional beast about it on day 1. He’s settling in now and his sassy ‘tude is shining through.

07/26/2022

Spock is here for boarding for a couple days! He is a loving little dude!

07/06/2022

Being the best boy!

Barleycorn! He’s a goofy dude! Barley has a blue tongue but it’s not because of his breed mixture. He has a blood disorder called methemoglobinemia (MetHb) which prevents oxygen from being released throughout his body as effectively as it should. It doesn’t affect him too much; some days he’s a little more lethargic than others and takes more naps.

06/27/2022

Advocate for your dog. She’s scared of most people but she loves going out to meet new dog friends and rolling in the mud is her absolute favorite. She’ll never be a “go to a patio brunch” type dog but she doesn’t have to be. People have social boundaries, don’t force your dog to be something they’re not.

Today was go-home day for Luna! A scrubby bath and lying in the sun to dry off.

05/31/2022

Rewarding Luna with some praise, belly rubs, and zoomies and then we get right back to business with a nice focused sit.

05/31/2022

Luna Update, Week 1: Luna is showing a little bit of self control when we encountered the resident yard bunny yesterday morning.

05/31/2022

Luna Update, Week 1: Showing a sliver of self control when we spotted a bunnie yesterday! Huge improvement!

05/30/2022

Luna Update, Week 1: cruising around in front of the house without Luna trying to drag me down the street. She is also beginning to disengage with her surroundings and starting to look for direction from the handler. Baby steps. Way to go Luna!
