AVAIABLE FOR ADOPTION: Please cross post! Meet Tucker! He’s a 7-month-old, intact pure bred Blue Merle Miniature Australian Shepherd, born on September 21, 2023. He is registerable through the ACA, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. He is always up for a game of fetch with a Frisbee or ball, tugging on a rope, or playing a game of keep away. As with any herding breed, he benefits from lots of physical activity. Tucker is super smart and learns things very quickly. He is crate trained and house broken. He rings the bell when he needs to go out. He sits, shakes a paw, lays down, and you can tell him to "wait" before he takes food, go in/out of doorways, cross the street, etc. Tucker is still learning to walk nicely on a leash and is improving each day. He is the biggest cuddle bug and will be the loyalist of companions once you earn his trust. Tucker has a few doggie friends however he can be apprehensive with new people and needs slow, frequent introductions. Once he feels safe, he will be your bestie. Tucker would do well in a home with older children & a calm environment. If you are interested in adopting Tucker, please contact Adam @ (717) 826-8418 or email [email protected]

WYATT DOLL! Meet Wyatt a 10-year-old Cane Corso, un-neutered male with lots of medical conditions and on “death row” at a kill shelter. Wyatt was rescued by an AMAZING person who thought she was up for the challenge to save this big boy. However, when she contacted me she was not so sure she made the right choice in adopting him. The owner also owned a female Cane Corso, Anja. Anja was not to fond of other dogs and enjoyed being the only one in the house. Upon Anja meeting Wyatt she endured the torture of his ongoing, obsessive RUDE butt sniffing behavior. Wyatt was relentless, he would sniff her on walks, in the yard and when she visited him in his living quarters. Up to this time Wyatt lived in the family room and Anja lived in the rest of the house. Surprisingly, Anja was VERY tolerant of Wyatt. She never once was aversive to him. She knew he was a sensitive soul. When I first met Wyatt he was quite intimidating. He did not like to be told what to do and would bite, he was a resource guarder and would bite and he did not like being handled and would bite, leashed up or you in his space. After a few private sessions, neutering, anti-anxiety medication (Paxil) and tending to his medical conditions Wyatt has grown into a true gentleman. KUDOS to the owner who was determined and diligent on helping Wyatt enjoy life as a “happy” dog. We implemented counter conditioning, LOTS of supervision and a heart full of love to help this gentle Giant be the dog he is today. I’m so proud of you Wyatt and most importantly your owner who gave you a TRUE second chance. XOXOXO
Client Comments:
I enjoyed learning to retrain the brain. From authoritative correction to positive reinforcement. I learned to ignore or walk away (eliminate) pushy/threatening behaviors. Realizing that I needed to work with my existing dog to help curb reactions from the newcomer. I achieved my goals of eliminating aggressive behavior and commingle my two dogs. I could not have done it without Michelle. To

I love my job. I get to work with the coolest dogs on Earth.
Ever since I was 5 years old, I always felt a special connection with dogs. Now, I know why. It was a God given desire to save as many dog lives as I can. Whether that meant rescuing them and finding them a home or helping them live harmoniously with their family.
In 1990, I set out on a life long journey to be a Canine Advocate. Immersing myself in canine behavior and training. Studying via books, seminars, mentor programs, webinars and clinics formed by some of the best canine specialists in our country. Some of my favorites include: Ian Dunbar, Karen Overall, Karen Pryor, Emma Parson, Dr. Sophia Yin, Patricia McConnell, Jean Donaldson, Brenda Aloff, Pat Miller & Dr. James Dobson. All of which believe in the science of learning by positive motivators.
My journey has led me through many hills and valleys but none were greater than the
journey with my current dog, Tayvin. Tayvin, is a male American Pit Bull Terrier, currently 8 years old and is a “Reactive Dog”. He has taught me the value of truly understanding a dog and what makes them happy, sad, scared, excited, nervous and over aroused. I thank God for him every day. This journey has led me to dig deep in understanding what dogs are saying and how to help others with “Reactive Dogs”.
Staying current on dog training trends that reflect my training philosophy gives me much joy. And I’m forever grateful for all the referrals from local rescues & veterinarians who continue to support happy & healthy dogs. I often defer to and appreciate the support of Animal Behaviorist, Ilana Reisner in PA.
