Integrity Canine - Professional Dog Training

12/29/2024

As we are wrapping up 2024, I want to thank everyone who has supported my business over the past year.

If you’ve trusted me with your dog for training or grooming, if you’ve interacted with my content on social media, if you’ve purchased any handmade gear- THANK YOU. I wouldn’t have made it through this year without you.

Unfortunately, Integrity Canine will not offer training services in 2025. I’ll be moving in a different direction professionally, as well as moving physically out of NEA. This decision was not made lightly. Ultimately, I have chosen to do what’s best for my personal well-being and professional longevity.

It’s been such a blessing to have had the opportunity to work in NEA as I have for the past several years. I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.

Thank you all again for your continued support, and I hope your 2025 is full of new beginnings (and plenty of puppy love). 🐾💚

FINAL PART of the ✨CUSTOM DOG GEAR GIVEAWAY✨

Congratulations Amanda Ruth 🎉🎉🎉

Our live stream from the Red Wolf Renaissance Fair was a flop- service was not great and the video cut out before a winner was selected. This time around I chose to prerecord with the help of Peaches (service dog in training, current board and train) and I’ve triple checked we have the whole video.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the giveaway!!! I appreciate all the interest and support in the newest venture of my business and I’m excited to see how it grows 🌱🪴🌻

⚠️Red Wolf Renaissance Fair UPDATE:⚠️

Due to a personal emergency I will not be at the Renaissance Faire today as was originally planned. HOWEVER, I absolutely should be up there tomorrow with plenty of gorgeous dog gear available for purchase or custom order 🦮 I will also be available for quick training consultations (dogs on leash are welcome!)

The CUSTOM GEAR GIVEAWAY has also been postponed to tomorrow- we will be going on a live video to select and announce the WINNER!!!

WELCOME 🐾🍑 Peaches 🍑🐾

Peaches is a 13-week-old Labrador retriever puppy. She recently joined us of her first 8-week Board & Train program (Service Dog in Training, level 1). Her long-term training goal is to work as a psychiatric service dog for her handler.

Service dog training is an extensive process, usually lasting anywhere from 18-24 months. Peaches is only in the beginning of her training in which we are focused on solid foundational obedience skills, socialization, exposure training, and confidence building. This girl has LOTS of drive to work, and I'm so excited to see her through on her journey as a service dog in training!

This transformation came with a few challenges that made it one of the grooms I am most proud of so far. 💪🏼🛁🫧🐩

Lionel J is a standard poodle who came to me only a few days after going through emergency surgery for a gastric torsion (twisted stomach). Having gone through the same surgery with one of my own, I was more than happy to squeeze him in to get him and comfortable for his recovery.

Due to his recent surgery, bathing had to be done very carefully to avoid getting any water or soap around his large incision on his stomach. I was able to get a good shampoo on his front end, his head, his tail and hind end while avoiding his torso. I used a no rinse foam cleanser in the areas that were too close to his incision to get wet. After a blow dry, a full clip and trim, and a clean poodle face, Lionel J was a whole new dog.

Lionel was SO good for the whole process, and went home ready for plenty of snuggles as he recovers from his surgery. 🐩🫧

Stella is a 10 y/o golden retriever, and she got some serious pampering this morning 🛁🫧✨

This sweet girl was in desperate need of a de-shedding treatment. We went in with a deep cleansing shampoo and a de-shedding conditioner to loosen up her dense undercoat before blow drying with a high-velocity dryer- cue the fur-nado 🌪️

Even with all her undercoat blown and brushed out, we did an all-over trim to take down the bulk of her long coat to make it easier to maintain between her regular pond swims and her next groom.

Stella was a very good girl for the whole process, and I hope to see her again for another spa day!🐶🫧✨

Back on campus again this week for my first session with this handsome boy, Hank 🐕

Hank is believed to be a sighthound/ Malinois/ husky mix with the personality (and energy) to match. He is an ESA for his handler, AJ, who has done a wonderful job so far with training foundational obedience skills so far. While Hank is well socialized and generally friendly, he still struggles with some frustration and reactivity on leash.

Today we jumped in with some engage/disengage work and practicing redirection to help break fixation and prevent trigger stacking. Hank is not short on enthusiasm for training and he started showing improvement almost immediately 🥳🎉 I look forward to continuing to work with this team, I can't wait to see what they accomplish before our next lesson!

I love starting my week with this sweet and sassy pup 🐾💜

Callie is ~4 y/o and a terrier/chihuahua mix. Her handler, Lily, has a natural knack for training and stays regularly involved in group classes and lessons. Our training started with focus on reactivity, specifically barking at passersby, and we've worked our way into more intermediate and advanced level skills as Callie has shown improvement.

This afternoon was spent improving on recall with distractions and "leave it". Callie is a curious girl with the high prey drive of a terrier, so this skill set is essential for keeping her safe if she were ever outside off-leash.

Lily and Callie have put in a ton of training hours together with the goal of integrating into a group class- next week they will be joining Callie's first and hopefully pass her CGC! They've both come so far 🙌 more updates on Lily and Callie to come as they take on this next step in their training!

Overcast afternoons like we had today make for much more comfortable sessions outdoors, especially with breeds that have a dense double coat like these two. 🌥️😮‍💨

Lobo (2 y/o) and Axel (~2-3 y/o) are husky housemates who both completed a 6-week board and train and have transitioned into the follow-up phase of their programs. Today we did some long line work for engagement exercises and recall with distractions, finishing up with some loose leash walking review.

Lobo and Axel are both huskies, a breed known for being challenging in pet homes, and Lobo especially lives up to the reputation. However, Lobo LOVES to work- he loves being busy. Both of these boys have made incredible strides in their training and I’m so pleased with their progress!

Today I visited campus to work with Charlie on overcoming one of his greater foes in his training: the STAIRS 🥵🫣

Charlie is only 1 y/o and has been training for service work since only 14 weeks of age, and in that time he has been carefully socialized with a wide variety of environments and obstacles as part of that training. Stairs, however, have become a weak point for his confidence.

Now that school is back in session, we regularly visit campus where his handler, Madison Mears, is a student in the Occupational Therapy program. Charlie is showing steady improvement in both handling the stairs and distractions on a busy college campus.

Charlie has his Canine Good Citizen, so our next goal benchmark for his training is to pass the AKC Community Canine test- follow for updates on Charlie's training journey!! 🐕‍🦺🐾

Thank you Kate Junkersfeld for trusting me with your sweet boy Memphis for his groom! 🐶🛁🫧

Memphis is a 1 y/o bernedoodle and he is absolutely as much of a gentleman as he looks. Such polite and well-behaved boy for his bath and haircut 🥰

Charlie is 1 y/o and training for service work for his handler, Madison, who’s become an amazing advocate for assistance animal education!

This was an amazing opportunity for Charlie to gain exposure with Madison’s work environment and practice greeting (with permission). We got the chance to speak a bit on assistance animals and answer questions, all while Charlie provided the best example of a calm and collected service dog in training.

Charlie and Madison are set to do big things and I’m very proud of this team!

Now offering GROOMING SERVICES! 🐩🛁🫧

I have been offering grooming as a part of cooperative care training for as long as I have been training professionally, which has turned long-time training clients into regular grooming clients as well.

With an upgraded setup I am now accepting clients for pet grooming!
Pricing listed does not include cooperative care training BUT I am accepting new-to-grooming, young and old, and difficult/dangerous-to-handle dogs for both grooming and training.
