This morning, I talked about reactive dogs.

Many have asked: "But what do you actually DO in training?"

Here's the short version:

→ I figure out what triggers your dog
→ I work at a safe distance where they can still think
→ I teach them to associate triggers with GOOD things (treats!)
→ I build confidence at home first
→ I give you emergency cues for real-world moments

It's not a quick fix. Most dogs need 8 sessions for lasting change; coupled with commitment, real change is possible.

You see another dog coming.

Your stomach drops.

You know what's about to happen.

The lunging. The barking. The embarrassed apologies. Here's the truth: Your dog isn't bad. They're scared.

Reactive dogs don't need more punishment…they need to feel safe.

That's what I do. Fear-free training. No shock collars. No prong collars. Just proven methods that actually work.

If you're tired of avoiding walks and feeling isolated, let's talk.

In Gratitude of Sarah Fisher

Today, the dog training world lost a truly special soul.

Sarah Fisher, creator of ACE Free Work, changed the way I observe, understand, and work with dogs. Her approach invited us to slow down, listen more deeply, and truly see the dog in front of us.

I am profoundly grateful that I became an ACE Trainer and had the opportunity to learn from her work. Her influence will continue to shape my enrichment training and the way I support dogs and their people.

She was loved by trainers around the world and will be deeply missed. Her legacy lives on—in every moment we choose curiosity, compassion, and respect for the dog’s voice.

Thank you, Sarah.

As this year winds down, I’m feeling incredibly grateful.

The past few months have brought growth, clarity, and renewed energy — from completing the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program, to welcoming new creative support, to some exciting opportunities on the horizon.

Right now, it truly feels like I’m riding the crest of a wave. This momentum is built on trust, community, and a deep love for the work I get to do every day. I am grateful for my amazing team and supportive clients.

Looking ahead, January will focus on helping reactive dogs feel safer and more confident, and February will spotlight ACE Free Work and the power of enrichment. Our core services of pet sitting and dog walking will remain steady.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a joyful, hopeful New Year. Thank you for being part of this.

It’s official—I’m a Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Alumni

This program was intense, fast-paced, and the best practicum I’ve ever done for my business. I learned better ways to grow without losing sight of what matters most.

For me, it’s never been about being the biggest—it’s about being the best I can be. Every day, it’s about the pets and their people.

So grateful for this amazing cohort, inspiring leaders, and lifelong connections—made even more special with the NC Secretary of State as our commencement speaker.

Equal Beds for All

After seeing our senior hound curled up on her new bed, Davy decided he needed one too—so he tested hers first just to be sure.

We brought home a big, cozy bed just for him, and as you can see, it passed the comfort test immediately.

Happy dogs, happy home. Rest easy, Davy. You deserve your own soft spot, too.

Ginger enjoys her new soft and snuggly bed.

Today I treated my senior hound girl to a new bed from Nauti Paws, and, as you can see… she’s already in love. There’s something special about watching an old soul settle into a soft, comfy spot. Rest easy, sweet girl. You deserve all the cozy moments. 💛

Izzy the Beagle, doing what she does best — watching over her neighborhood.
When she’s not out “beagling” her way through the streets, nose to the ground and following every scent trail, she loves her window time. From this perfect perch she keeps an eye on all the comings and goings… and her enthusiastic Beagle bark lets me know the moment a cat or dog passes by.

Life is full of adventure when you’re a Beagle.

I’m about halfway through the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program, and what a journey it’s been!

This experience is reshaping how I think about growth, leadership, and long-term sustainability for Crockett’s Critter Care. It’s helping me refine our mission, strengthen our team, and build systems that support the Fear Free and ACE-inspired care we’re known for.

I’m excited about the opportunities ahead — from expanding our enrichment and training programs to creating new ways to help pets and their people thrive.

Here’s to learning, evolving, and building a business that continues to make a difference in our community.

A SPECIAL UPDATE: GOLDMAN SACHS 10,000 Small Businesses

I recently shared my acceptance into the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program, but I just learned something that makes this honor even more meaningful…

Only 37 businesses from across the entire state of North Carolina were invited to participate after a highly competitive process—and Crockett’s Critter Care is one of them!

I’m humbled to be part of this select group of entrepreneurs committed to growth, job creation, and community impact.

Thank you again to my amazing team for holding things down while I take on this intensive course. Your support is what makes opportunities like this possible.

I am attending.  Can't wait to share the experience with you.
