Phew September has been SO busy, but already so amazing. Our online training sessions have become increasingly popular and we will have to begin limiting new clients soon. If you are looking for training, don’t wait! Pictured below are a few of our program dogs, board and train pups for September and our in person client pup, Bonnie. We currently have ONE spot left for a board and train during the month of OCT/NOV. The beginning date will be middle of October. If you want to fill that spot, please let me know asap. I am so grateful to all of my clients, and am SO proud of each and every one of their dogs. It’s incredible to see how well each dog is doing. ❤️❤️

Over the weekend Elliot got to meet his person for the first time. He immediately was alerting and clearly very attached. Together they make such an amazing team. I can’t wait for their future together ❤️

Our program dog Flynn has been growing into such a lovely pup. He is still learning so much, but takes it all in stride. He is a bit dorky and energetic, but when it’s time to work he focuses in and does an amazing job. I can’t wait to see how he continues as he ages. ❤️

08/22/2024

Our program dog, TFCA Nobody Knows (Elliot) went to his first day of SCHOOL with one of our close friends and owner trainer, Kathlien Moore. Elliot’s future handler is in college herself and we are ensuring Elliot will be ready for her! I am so proud of this big guy. ❤️❤️

Please ignore the pajamas 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ but guys! Meet Bonnie!!!! I am so excited to work with this little pup. She is a new service dog prospect who will be mostly owner trained but will be in consistent training sessions and boardings. This girl is absolutely the sweetest little bean. (I call her Bonbon, Bons, or sometimes Bonster (her parents gave her that nickname too. How freaking cute 🥰)) She is excelling under and is on the right path to become the best service dog for her mom. I am so grateful they reached out to me and allowed me to help pick them the perfect pup from the breeder they had chosen and to be helping them on this exciting (but also slightly challenging) journey. We worked on her sit, down, and lure. As you can see, every little thing she did right, I made sure to make it fun and exciting! This is going to help her have so much drive as she ages. I keep my sessions very short with young pups just to ensure they are engaged and having fun!

Look at our little puppies! Our program dogs Elliot and River, are growing so fast! They went on a short outing to the pet store and then sat outside of the grocery store to get used to different sounds/people. I am very excited for their handlers. (Also thank you Kathlien for being my training assistant! It takes a whole village to work with service dogs, and I am so grateful to have her helping me!!!)

If you are looking for service dog training for your puppy or dog, please feel free to reach out via email [email protected]
We would love to help train your dog to hopefully give you some independence and comfort while you have to battle chronic illness.

We are officially back in town and ready to start up sessions again! Please text me to schedule a time! Yesterday, Mr. River went to the vet for his shots. He is a whopping 20 pounds at only 11 weeks old. Amazing what food food and lots of enrichment treats get you!

Did you know it costs absolutely nothing to support a small business?! As a disabled, female business owner, your referrals, reviews and engagement mean the absolute world to me! And they help bring others to TFCA! We are so grateful to your reviews, and it is so easy! I love to read how we have made a difference. ❤️❤️

To add to our excitement- this past weekend, I took Penny back to her owners, and her handler Autumn. We had been on the fence with continuing to use her for service work due to her lack of drive. Penny had stayed with me for 2 weeks, working on the drive and working on scents. I am SO excited for this pair. Penny alerted not once but twice to two separate seizures on Saturday. She gave Autumn a 20 minute warning. It was incredible to see Penny understand and warn her handler. I am so excited for this pup, and so excited for her future.

What a crazy, but exciting weekend for ! I am so excited for our newest client, Isabella, on her new prospect River. He is such a special puppy, and I have full faith that he will be perfect for her. We met his litter today and out of everyone, he was the best temperament(plus he obviously loved his new mom immensely). There is a lot to be taught and a lot to be learned, Mr. River has a big job to fill one day, but today is the start of their journey as a team. I am so grateful to be part of it and am so excited for this pair to grow together. We can’t wait to see you grow and excel, River!

The best way to start off any training session is with a pup up from

Did you know that all of your training must be understood inside a neutral environment, like your home, or a place the dog is used to going? This allows us to teach the dog the fundamentals before expecting them to act that way in different environments. Once the training is mastered at home, we will then begin in the back yard, and then move to parks or pet stores. Here is our client, sweet Riggins, learning how to heal, and “check-in” with his parents while walking on a leash. We are not expecting him to be perfect, but we do not want him to drag us around. The more we do quick movements, and the more eye contact we reward, he will eventually understand that this behavior gives him yummy treats. We MUST be more interesting and interactive with our dogs on walks. This teaches our dogs that even though it’s fun and exciting to be out and about, the person holding their leash is really the fun one.

Hi everyone! We have had alot of new followers recently and I am so grateful for each and every one of you. I am here to answer any questions you may have, but please only serious inquiries. I am trying to balance everything, and have revived a lot of messages regarding service dog training and possibly placing Elliot, I am going through and answering everyone, but most of my responses get ignored. I can’t give out training advice without enrollment in my program, as I do not know your dog and do not know the best way to assist with training. As far as service dog placements, Elliot is still available, and there will be a application process. He is NOT for pet placement, and will have 2 years of consistent work and training invested in him. He is thriving now, and will be able to provide someone with a disability an immense amount of freedom and safety.
Thank you guys!

River is learning to not be as social out in public ❤️

Look at how amazing our little program pup Flynn is doing with his person. 🥹 Flynn is owned by TFCA but has been paired with Isabella to one day help her with her chronic conditions. These two are perfect for each other, and I truly have loved watching them connect for the first time. Flynn is still young, and will continue to be trained under our program, but once he is fully trained he will go live with his handler and help her gain some independence and sense of security. They have such a bright future. ☀️❤️

Elliot is blowing me away with how quick he learns. We have a very solid lure. He is such a fun one to work with and is quickly getting very good at giving the eye contact. He is such a special boy. I truly am so grateful to have him in my program. - - - - - #tfca #totalfocuscanineacademy #servicedogintraining #servicepuppy #blacklab #englishlab #labrador #lablove #pots #potssyndrome #dog #training #dogtraining
