Happy Anniversary! 1οΈβ£3οΈβ£ years ago today my business was born as a result of a stupid human incident at a dog park. I knew there was a niche for the knowledge I had to share with a dog's family.
I have been incredibly blessed by the relationships and results I've been able to cultivate and achieve. My heartfelt thanks to all who placed their trust in me for these past 13 years.
Love what you do and you never work a day in your life!
πWorked with Beau on the treadmill! With the weather getting colder in the morning, his mama was looking for other options for draining energy.

This adorable brother/sister puppy duo had their first field trip to Lowe's today! These just over four month old littermates live in a rural area, so we want to expose them to a variety of environmental settings.
Dogs gain greater confidence when taken into and through new experiences. It's safe to say Jasper and Rainey were a hit with everyone they met!
Izzy will be looking for her perfect home one day!
Right now we're working on her fear-based reactions and building confidence. The muzzle helps everyone relax which creates the leadership energy this girl needs. Izzy knows basic commands and shows them willingly. She sleeps every night with a cat!
Her life situation changed when her human mama passed away, so we'll be looking for a good fit for Izzy.
Cooper has a couple extreme reactions to the pool waterfall, so today we worked on desensitizating him. This little Dachshund is an amazing swimmer! His wee little sister doesn't like it much, but Lizzie was calm while she waited to exit the step.
Lucky and Max's first dog park experience was terrific! We drained a ton of mental energy as we made our way to the park, which helps dogs enter the gates more calmly. Too much excited energy may create scuffles with other dogs upon entry. These boys had a hoot today!
A tired dog is a good dog. We most often think about physical exercise with our pups, but a mental energy drain is more energy depleting and a longer lasting tired.
Through a Dogβs Ear by Lisa Spector. I've always loved classical music so this idea was right up my alley. The program has evolved over the years to iCalmPet. I highly recommend trying this music to add more CALM to your daily life.
Wearing the Raptor Shields help Tripp and Chloe's family relax a bit when they're playing outside. And these pups LOVE to play in their yard.
Their location is prone to flying predators and these wee pups are small enough to be a meal. As you can see their play is not restricted and it adds a measure of protection.
(Of course they are never left unattended outdoors.)
Princess Skye (R) and her cousin Countess Tawny (L) will play fetch forever! They are five year old high energy Labs who love when they can visit each other. Each lives with a much older canine sister who no longer plays.
I am incredibly blessed and thankful for each dog and every human I've had the privilege of working with this year!
Leash Manners

Cowboy has the right idea about Halloween safety.
Mental & Physical Energy Drain
Little Miss Scout is a very high energy, 6 month old Husky mix. We use a variety of methods to drain her energy more effectively. Tonight was her first try at the treadmill and she handled it like a pro!
