Hi everyone!
🍁☀️I think we will be blessed with nice enough weather to sneak in one more Five Week Basic Dog Training course before the snow flies. ❄️🌨

I'm wondering if anyone would sign up, starting within the next two weeks, Wednesday at 5:30pm. Please let me know. We would have room for six. If I know I can fill it, I will make it happen.

If you have attended the class, please leave an encouraging comment. I talk to so many people on the fence. I'm partial to the class, I love seeing bonds develop and grow.

Congrats Draco Owcznsky! You are this week's winner of last week's pre-booked appointment drawing. Of course I'm not social media savvy so it cut out the end.. but you won a $20 gift card to DQ!

We love when we are the ones who get to introduce puppies to grooming. We aim to make their introduction to grooming a fun and low stress experience to set them up for a lifetime of positive grooming experiences. This little cutie Molly rocked her first groom with us this week!

You will notice this week the Spa is decorated a little differently. Kacie is celebrating FIVE years of working at LPS. 🎉

Kacie has been a giant asset in the creation and evolution of the Spa and what it has become today.

In 2019 I opened the doors at this location excited to have the workplace out of my home. Six months later a conversation with this 16-yearold's mother lead her into the doors to try something new. What stared as her teenage job, evolved into a passion. As a client you can see and feel her love for her job in the relationship she developed with you but more importantly your pets.

In the past five years, Kacie and I have spent so much time together. Usually bouncing future goals, accomplishments, setbacks, and good bannters back and forth, that it's hard to imagine when I opened the doors the five year goal was to still be me and my shed. I'm so thrilled and proud that I have her.

She's dedicated to furthering her education in techniques, skills, general breed, and health knowledge to help provide the best service and care to your pets.

If you're coming to the Spa this week, make sure you let her know how much you appreciate her. We want to keep her forever! ❤️🐩

*On a side note, my favorite Kacie story*
Early spring... the weather is quite gross yet. At this point she had been working here for 8ish months, so 16 still. Kacie wasn't at work... but she was scheduled. My first thought is, hopefully everything is OK. No sooner then that thought a four-wheeler comes racing in. It's Kacie! She's red in the face and angry! I look at her and she just says, "damn car!" Then jumps right into work. We still laugh about it today. She truly is dedicated. She's going to kill me for sharing this story but she's pretty busy at work today so she won't see this until it's too late. 🤣🫶

Yellow and I have exciting news!
We are expanding our training opportunities!

A couple times each week Yellow and I will be taking my office to the Little Falls Dog Park where we will offer private dog training lessons.

Here we can work on:
Basic dog commands
Puppy training
Potty training
Jumping
Socialization
Distracted listening
And, so much more!

You can schedule an appointment (specific day/time to meet) or just show up.
*If your dog struggles with socialization please disclose that prior to entering the park*

The days and times we go will vary, so watch FB for weekly updates when we will be there. We want to offer different days/times each week to meet everybody's availability. Also comment days/times that work best for you.

If you have done any training with LPS, you know this is where my heart belongs. I love watching relationships between owners and companions develop and grow. There's no issue to small, large, silly, or obnoxious that I'm unwilling to help with. ❤️✌️🐕.

It's that time again! It's our MID SUMMER BREAK!

We are taking a 10 day hiatus from working... well they are. Kim and I (Lynae) will be walking dogs 😁. We are returning July 8th, 9am sharp, bright eyed, and well rested.

These girls bust their b***y all season long, never calling in sick, working through whatever physical, mental, and emotional issues that present themselves. Why...? Because we love our clients and job. 🐕❤️

Thank you to all the new and returning clients. SOME HOW, we have managed to collect the best! Have a family-filled and safe Forth of July. We are here because the few that are brave enough to fight for our freedom! THANK YOU. 🇺🇸

Even though this is my favorite post each year. I have highly procrastinated it for two reason...
1. This post holds me accountable to my clients, employees, community, and family. So it needs to be well thought out as well as clearly wrote out.
2. There's a topic that brings me to tears at even just the thought, how am I supposed to put it in words?

However there is so much good that comes from this post, so it must be followed through.

Holy Moly 2023 was excellent.
We hit our sales goal for the year and even exceeded it a few months.

We started our Dog Gone It services (I've only been talking about it for two years 🙃) in June.

Lauren started her grooming apprenticeship and has fast tracked it.

However, I lost my best friend, sidekick, inspiration, and most loyal companion, Maverick. Anyone who met him knew just how extra special he was to me. He often left that same impression on every dog and human he met. He was used as a tool when working with challenging training clients; he was the perfect calm and proper dog to help any others struggling with socialization skills. He even took a bite (or two) to help train. He did it with pride, not fear. In his younger years I was never seen without him whether it was working or in my social life. He went were I went! It's hard to believe I'm doing these days without him.

The decision to euthanize your companion is not easy and never taken lightly. I'm typically in the position of giving advice during this difficult time, but it was YOU; my clients, family, and co-workers that guided me, picked me up, and supported me through this. I received some of the most comforting advice and support before, during, and after this process. THANK YOU, truly! He is missed EVERYDAY.

AND... I added Yellow, the world's naughtiest mutt to our funny farm. Yet, we love him. He has proven he's just as smart as naughty. He has learned the commands sit, shake, down, stay, off, wait, come, and rollover (reliably) in less then the month we've had him. He has also proven if we have 40 toys on the floor he's going to find something he shouldn't for his entertainment. And, rarely cuddles because he can't stay still for long enough unless he's sleeping.

Now that we are in 2024, what can we look forward too:

Lauren is projected to graduate in April, which means we will have four groomers. Lauren will also be celebrating four years at LPS. She already knows and has proven her pet skills. We are just helping her grow into the best pet care provider possible.

Kacie is also celebrating FIVE years at LPS, and l have an exciting surprise for her. Despite how she feels about surprises 🤣 too bad Kacie!

We are looking forward to watching the growth of our DGI Services. We want to create comfort in ditching the traditional pet boarding option. Years back Shelby and I worked at a boarding facility (it's how we met! I knew I wanted her to work for me then.. and believe me I expressed that to her! Look where we are now ❤️) and experienced that the traditional boarding option isn't for every dog, but had been the only option. Insert us here! DGI will come to you so your pets can remain in the comfort of their own home, keeping their stress levels low and immune systems high. Another goal being hit to becoming your one-stop-shop for complete pet care. The feedback has been comforting that NOW was the right time to start this. I'm beyond excited to watch it grow - takes me back to the days of opening the Spa 🥰.

When you use our DGI Services, your pets will get to meet Kim! She has an unmatchable love for caring for your pets, she does it with such tender pride! We are so thankful for her addition to the LPS team.

We have a billbaord going up, so let me know when you see it!

I've been saying it for years, but we are truly the blessed ones. We have the best clients both human and pet. We are celebrating because of you and your continued support. We understand we aren't for everyone, and we are OK with that. Our style of honesty and having your pets' best interest in mind (always) isn't easy. It means having challenging but profeasional conversations, but it's done with the intent to aid you in tackling challenging training, grooming, and overall health issues. We are on your team and want to prove our dedication to your pets through our reliable services while restoring customer service!

So.... THANK YOU to my team, clients, family, and community. Here we come 2024!

We love to send our clients photo updates of what their pets are up too! These two love our visits as much as we equally love entertaining and providing undivided care when their parents need to be away.

Whether you are:
💠 Leaving town for a wedding, funeral, (un)planned meeting.
💠 taking a vacation.
💠 working early/late.
💠 need someone to check in for mid day potty/play.
💠 having a procedure and need assistance.
💠 your pets need additional exercise or energy relief.

We are here to help fill that gap for your pet and plants needs. We are not limited to dogs and cats. We would love to care for your fish, birds, chickens, and house.

A new version of pet care to your traditional boarding, it takes place in your home where your pets are most comfortable. We come to you!

Just call and set up your DGI (Dog Gone It) Interview. We will come to your home and learn how you care for your pets/plants. Once the Interview is completed we will help you out in a pinch or when planned.

From POOFBALL to PERFECT 😍.
Granger had his first Spa day today.
AND...He loved it.

It's greatly appreciated when owners start grooming as soon as 3-4 months old. At this age "new" things are still fun and exciting, less scary and overwhelming compared to a 6-8 month old dog when new things are no longer introduced and life has become "normal". For those that love the shaggy look, we don't HAVE to shave them on their first visit. It's the experience of the process that creates healthy, happy, and safe grooming.

He will forever enjoy his Spa days because this very first experience sets the pace. Good scrubs, hugs, and kisses (usually treats too - if parents approve) for this good boy today 🩵🐾.

Our Little Falls Pet Community lost a local groomer over the weekend.

As long as I have been in Little Falls grooming your pets, I remember hearing about Jackie at Puppy Porch. Although we did not have a personal relationship, we did have a professional one.

The grooming community as a whole can not afford to lose groomers, especially at this young of an age. We are saddened by this news and hope her family and friends can find peace and joy in wonderful memories.

We know grooming options in Little Falls can be limited as some facilities are not taking new clients or booked until 2024. Although, we are a very different establishment, we want you to know we are hear to fill the gap but not the hole she's leaving.

We celebrated Kacie's fourth year at LPS in July and 1 year Groomer anniversary, next week.

It's been a complete joy having Kacie since nearly day one at our NEW (current) location. She has improved and grown tremendously. Once a teenage, not finding passion in any of her previous jobs to the now indepentdent, motivated, a passionate lady she is today. You should be proud!

August is our last month of FREE, Dog Gone It (in-your-home) Pet Care Service Interviews.

We come to your home when you need pet, plant, and home care.

We are a perfect fit when you need to be away at weddings, funerals, kids sports, or simply a getaway. We are also a great fit for the people that work late and your pet simply needs a mid day walk, interaction, or energy release.

These services fill the gap of traditional dog/pet boarding PLUS the added care provided to your plants, fish, small mammals, reptiles, and birds. When your pets are in our care there are very few worries, like; pickup/drop off windows, stress levels, and the type of care your pet will receive. All of our care is undivided; one-on-one, AND personally provided for your pets' individual needs. Hence why we perform an interview. It allows you to see how your pets respond and interact with us.

Please call or text to set up your interview. (320) 309-7472.

We had the pleasure of grooming this adorbale Rusty bear yesterday!!

07/25/2023

Did you know that we are offering in home day/night pet care?

We come to your home as many as four times a day to care for our pet/plant, offer potty breaks, feed/water, clean litter boxes, water plants, tend to your house, walk your pup, or whatever pet/plant care you need. We are not limited to just dog and cats, we are willing to take on any pet that needs to be cared for.

This is a NEW and alternative way to have your pets/plants taken care of when you need to be away, working long hours, or have a sudden event come up.

We require an interview for this service. Once the interview is complete we are available at your desire. The interviews are currently FREE, but that will only last until we have perfected the interview process (so, the very near future).

Traditional boarding facilities fill the gap of a much needed service, although I believe we will blow your traditional experience out of the water. Despite what it appears, the traditonal setting is not for every pet. Speaking from a personal and professional perspective as I have worked at two, I know we can provide a stand-out service, that far exceeds the care they would get in the traditional setting. Your pets are in the comfort of their own home, the care is one-on-one, and the time we spend with your pet is dedicated to making them feel loved regardless of what that looks like. Maybe, it's playing endless fetch or possibly turning the tv on and getting a 30min petting session. We will do what your pet enjoys the most.

We have the coolest, neatest, and best job in the world! Your pet can not advocate for themselves but your in-home cameras can 😉. Each person entering your home is trained, background checked, and will care for your pet the way you require. ❤️🐾☕☀️

If you have used our Dog Gone It service please feel free to leave a comment. Did we provide the peace of mind you were hoping for? What did you love or dislike? All info is good info.

07/12/2023
