Stepup Basic Training

Remus is looking for his forever home.
I am currently boarding him while his foster parents are out of town! What I’ve seen so far is he does great with new dogs, has great confidence and a very mellow temperment.
He would be an amazing addition to any family and will come with some free training if any concerns arise. I am so shocked he hasn’t found a home already! Contact my account if you’re interested and I’ll give you the foster parents contact info!

MACARONI or MAC for short will be my service dog prospect. I will raise and train him up until 6-8months when he will be available for adoption to someone local here in Ridgecrest CA either to a veteran or someone suffering from MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES/PTSD who will then continue his training with me for free.
Follow along on his journey to becoming a SD prospect lots of training videos coming soon once he gets old enough❤️🙏

Being a dog trainer and foster you quiet literally can’t save them all and it sucks so bad when you’ve put so much effort and love into a dog but their prior circumstances have forever altered their brains to where no training is a fix just a Bandaid 🥲😕

UPDATE ON OREO!!!
I have found the perfect family for Oreo❤️
He is not ready to be released to them yet until he’s trained more. They have met him and he’s opened up so much he will NOT be put down he will be safe loved and cared for. 🙌🎉

06/02/2024

He is SO loyal to my 2 toddlers, he hears a cry he’s rushing to their side. They make a move, so does he. It makes me want to keep him because of how loyal and attentive he is to them always watching them.
Though I wish I could keep all the dogs I foster/train, I truly believe there’s a perfect home for him somewhere.
He is not familiar at all with things like a taking him on a walk, cars passing, people passing, even just sounds like a car door closing or front door opening, the vacuum, a broom sweeping around. He’s spooked so easily. He has SO MUCH POTENTIAL AND IM GOING TO BRING IT OUT OF HIM!

More business cards coming in 🙌

So with life getting kind of crazy the last time I took my final exam for my dog training certification was 1/26, but tonight I just submitted the one exam that I have been pushing off to finally get my certification! Yay! 🎉 Its been a long 8 months of studying but I can finally see the finish line!! 🤩

This video was 20 mins after he bit me.
Unfortunately Oreo is in some serious need of rehabilitation. He only sees my toddlers as a part of the pack and wants 0 to do with adults. This behavior is similar to litter mate syndrome which requires very serious behavior modification and training.

05/31/2024

Oreos first day here and I just want to stress the importance of PROPERLY using tools if you use any on your dogs to educate yourself or reach out to me or any trainer. Oreo was improperly introduced to an E collar it’s most likely a big factor in his behavioral issues now. He’s doing good eating, drinking but his social skills and dog behavior are at about a 1/5. 🥲

Schedule now for your boarding+board and training needs😊

Me and my foster dog “dobie” on a night walk he’s doing awesome on his walk. He’s becoming more brave and coming out of his shell❤️

05/28/2024

I will be resuming training and boarding as BK the shepherd was unable to be transported to me as he was best being closer to where his medical treatment would be! ❤️BK is doing a lot better. I’m now fostering a small chihuahua that will be chipped UTD on shots, fixed trained in basics then be available for his forever home!❤️

I will be temporarily pausing my training services as my heart has called me to foster this shepherd. I will be fostering him until he’s fully healed and training him in basic obedience.
My boarding services will still be available and so will my direct messages for any concerns for your pups I can do my best online❤️
Thank you for understanding

Currently boarding+training Bella a black lab puppy!
She’s just brushing up on her basics as well as learning new commands to eventually help her owner as her future service dog. She’s doing such a great job and very fast learner!

⚠️Attention⚠️
If you or your family are not cut out to have a certain breed I will tell you.
If you don’t have the time/energy/space for your dog I will tell you.
If you are doing your dog a disservice by doing certain things or staying in your set ways “because it’s what works for YOU” and not your dog I WILL TELL YOU.
I am not here for you to tell me you need my help but not willing to put the time and effort into it or you can’t take constructive criticism. (No this isn’t towards anyone specific) I am just speaking as a dog trainer who sees families getting dog breeds they are uneducated on and then they both suffer in the end.
It’s not selfish to rehome a dog if you didn’t know what you were getting into, it’s selfish to keep your dog crated/chained/in the back yard all day because you DO NOT want to deal with your hyperactive/destructive/anxiety ridden/reactive dog.

Did you know, while in my 6 month college course for Dog training I also learned the basics of grooming and health in dogs!
Not only can I determine if your dog may need a medical professional if I see warning signs of certain ailments but I can also give them a nail trim safely and pain free as well as a good grooming! 😊😇🐾🐶

Had such a lovely time boarding this pup named Ajax! He was so quick to learn and such a delight to have in my home!
While he was in my care we worked on some threshold training and crate training.
He received lots of mental stimulation, walks and loved his play time! Before his return home he received a bath and nail trim at no additional cost to his parents!😍 🐾
