Very scary situation happened. Yesterday while I was walking Pippa, a man tried to harass us on a bike and tried to follow us home. Many bystanders were around and no one tried to help, so police were called immediately. One of the things Pippa reacts HEAVILY to is bikes. She had 0 reactions during this moment and remained calm!

This past month Pippa has been doing an amazing job around triggers that would usually set her off. From bikes, vehicles, dogs, wildlife and strangers. I have decided to resume her public space training with limitations. Will update you all on the progress!

Meet Trauma!

Trauma is a 2 year old, spayed, female Belgian Malinois. She was pushed out of a moving truck, she was surrendered to me a few months afterwards. She came to me unconfident, fearful, and with minimal trust. After 3 months of hard work Trauma has blossomed into this confident, friendly, pleasing malinois she was always meant to be! Trauma prefers women but will still hang out with the guys. She is the type of dog who will give all of her love to one handler and hang with the rest of the group. She is very dog friendly. My personal dogs Blossom and Theo really helped her come out of her shell. She looks up to Theo, so dog friendly malinois owners are encouraged to go through the adoption process. Trauma is not all the way finished with her training. She will be advancing her obedience through the next couple months which will include off leash skills! Trauma is not a candidate for bitework after evaluating her she has 0 interest in biting period. I think she could excel in obedience. I will also be evaluating her for interest in agility and fastcat. Trauma would do best in a human with adults. Possibly children over 12. Cats okay.

Meet Pippa!!

Pippa is a 5 year old, spayed bulldog mix who is ready has been ready for her furever home for the past 3 months! She was surrendered to me 5 months ago due to aggression and potty issues. After a long road we have made HUGE success and we're able to combat her issues with obedience. Pippa is a spunky little girl who wants to mainly hang out and watch your favorite movies with you. Her care is super easy, especially for people who aren't super active. She is a true homebody! Super food motivated and loves a good 5 minute game of tug. She would like to be the only dog in the household. Cats okay! Children over 8 who understand basic dog boundaries. From what I've seen she is really friendly towards them. Reduced Adoption fee.

Poor Pippa, she was so excited about going to a new home and they backed out😔

Pippa is a female, spayed, small bully mix (45 pound) 5 years old

*Reduced Adoption fee*
*No application fee*

This girl has been in my rescue training program for the last 4 months. Graduated last month from her training program.

She is a fun little lady who just wants to sunbathe and join you on the couch for movie time. Her care is very easy. She only needs 2 walks per day and maybe a game of tug for exercise. Very food motivated and just wants to be with her people.

Training Skills:

Sit (duration, distance, distraction)

The perfect home for Pippa would be a calm environment, where her owner can spend lots of time with her at home. Pippa does not benefit from leaving the house, she is a true homebody. This dog would be perfect for the retired folks who don't leave the house a lot.

Ammo goes home to his mom today!

It was so much fun having you here, seeing you and my girl make wonderful friends, and getting to know more about your lineage.

02/02/2025

Hey everyone the website is going to be down for a little bit as we make some changes.

Thanks for understanding!

02/01/2025

This month is going to be so much fun for the personal dogs as we are starting sports and looking to earn some titles!

Blossom plans on getting all of her Trick Dog titles, returning to agility (with the goal of competing), and working on a freestyle dance routine (like you've seen on AGT).

Theo plans on working towards his CGC, CGCA, Trick Dog Beginner, IGP1 and starting dock diving.

I am so excited for my children and can't wait to see them unlock their potential!

Did you know you can use "affection" as a reward?

Trauma lovessssss to cuddle, lately I've been using it as an reward after our outside interactions. Which she is finally starting to become more relaxed in an outdoor environment.

Training videos to come!

Trauma (previously Kira) is a young, spayed, female Belgian Malinois that got thrown out of a moving truck, found in the Middle of an intersection and bounced between a couple homes.

She will be ready for her furever home June 10th.

She is doing two programs. A behavioral modification, and my offleash program.

Trauma adoption fee will be $900 with a $300 nonrefundable deposit that goes towards her adoption fee.

I feel like I am going to get a lot of complaints when it comes to her adoption fee. Truthfully with all the work I am putting into her I feel like this is a very fair price. She is getting over $4000 of training.

Trauma is not a candidate for bitework, but as I am starting to do sports with my personal dog I will have her evaluated in agility, dock diving, obedience sports and more.

Trauma would do best in

✅️House (may be fine with a town home as long as there's plenty of space)

✅️Active home and interests in training

✅️Malinois experience preferred

✅️Dogs okay

✅️Cats okay

❌️No apartment

❌️No Children under the age of 12

This is why I love my job, because I get to experience beautiful moments like this.

I experience a malinois who was petrified of EVERYTHING, FINALLY open up and enjoy her environment.

I also experience my once wild, crazy, block head boy, become a great example and help other dogs with their journey.
