Another month, another Polishing Class coming right up. If you have a dog who's been through training with us, come join us so we can see your lovely faces again! 😍

And if you don't have a dog who's been trained by us, well... let's do something about that. 👀

Either way, you can sign up for Polishing Class or a free phone consult over on our website, so let's go! Current clients can head to the Client Portal tab and new clients just need to click on Contact Us. Easy peasy! ✔️✔️✔️

Another beautiful opportunity to join us for a Polishing Class this Saturday! ☀️🐕📆

Summertime is fleeting and we won't have too many more chances to hold outdoor Polishing Classes, so come take advantage while we can! We've had lots of lovely graduates lately, too, and now is the perfect time to continue building on those skills your dog recently learned. Plus, pack walks are a great way to get your dog more socialization without the pressure of play groups as well as test their obedience around distractions.

There's really no reason not to! Go sign up on the client portal so we know you're coming. You can find it on our website at the top under Client Portal, or just text Nicole at 701-353-1224 so she can add you to the roster.

See you Saturday!

If you haven't come to see us for a Tandem Tuesday at a Minot Hot Tots game yet, there are only a couple of chances left this season! Our Bat Dogs work hard and they'd love some extra pets!

Bat Dogs will be featured on Corbett Field on July 8th and 29th for the Hot Tots games. We'd also love to hear all about your dog and how we can help you achieve your training goals, so be sure to purchase tickets and come see us while you enjoy America's favorite pastime! 🐕⚾️

Bat Dogs! 🐕‍🦺⚾

One of the most fun things I've done in my career. Super fun to collaborate with the Minot Hot Tots!

We are so proud to have been a part of Freya's journey and her mission with the local PD! 🚓

We are really thrilled to see our local law enforcement embracing the different applications of canine units, since there are so many more uses outside of patrol and detection. Freya is filling a huge role in therapy and comfort work and we know she'll do an absolutely amazing job! She is truly a lovely dog and Caisee has done such a great job with her training.

It's so cool to have watched this dog grow from a tiny puppy and now get to do her big girl job! 👮‍♀️🐕‍🦺

We finally had a beautiful weekend for an outdoor Polishing Class! ☀️🌈

These lovely pups came back for refreshers on leash manners, worked through dog reactivity, and then finished up learning about how to further advance obedience through play. 🥎🐕

We know training sometimes gets put aside during the winter, which is why we always encourage clients to come back to polishing classes even if it's just once at the beginning of summer to get back on track. We want to make sure your pup is as ready for summer adventures as you are!

As a reminder, you can book polishing classes via the client portal on our website or text Nicole at 701-353-1224. Come join us next time!

Please keep an eye out for Freya! We worked with Freya in preparation for her debut as the Comfort K9 for the police department and we know her owner is absolutely distraught. If you see Freya, please reach out and help us get this girl home and back to her job!

Update (As of 5:26 p.m.) - Freya has been safely located!

Thank you to everyone who helped by sharing and searching.

Update (As of 3:08 p.m.) – Still Searching for Freya

As many of you have heard, our Wellness Dog, Freya, went missing this morning around 8:45 a.m. near the Scheels South Hill Softball Complex. We have been actively searching for her since then but have not yet been successful.

After speaking with Freya’s trainers, they advised that she may have moved upwind and could be in low-lying areas, such as coulees, or possibly hiding under decks, in window wells, or similar sheltered spots. If she was spooked, it’s likely she is laying low and may not come out just from hearing her name called. Physically checking under and around objects will likely be the best way to locate her.

Freya may not respond to unfamiliar voices, so if you spot her or find her hiding, please call the Minot Police Department immediately at 701-852-0111 so someone familiar to her can come assist.

Her trainers also mentioned that in these circumstances, she may travel up to a mile per day.

Please keep these details in mind if you’re helping in the search.

Missing Comfort K9 – Help Us Find Freya

This morning around 8:45 a.m., our soon-to-be-introduced Comfort K9, Freya, went missing in the neighborhood near the Scheels South Hill Softball Complex.

Freya may have taken off after a rabbit or something that caught her attention. She is wearing a black e-collar and is very friendly.

While we haven’t officially introduced Freya to the public yet, she’s already become an important part of our team—and we’re eager to have her back safe and sound.

If you see her or have any information, please contact Minot Central Dispatch at 701-852-0111.

Please help spread the word and keep an eye out. We truly appreciate the support.

We couldn't be more excited to officially announce the addition of another trainer to our team, Sarah Hansen! 🥳🥳🎉

Sarah is an ABC certified trainer who originally completed her mentorship hours for her certification with us, and now she's back as a full time trainer! She's been learning all about our training process over the last few months and is now officially taking new clients. Sarah is by no means new to dog training as she regularly hunts with her two golden retrievers, Copper and Ruby. We've really enjoyed watching Sarah work with client dogs and we know she'll be an amazing addition to our team!

As Nicole transitions out of ND (don't worry, she'll still be behind the scenes), Sarah will be taking over our private lesson programs and continuing to provide top notch training for our local clients. Help us give her a warm welcome!
