Started in the house and decided to go to the park once it “stopped raining”. BIG BIG mistake! Chloe was not happy at all once it started pouring again ☔️🌧️

A day trip with Willow! We started at the house so Willow could get in some play time with Jed and Georgia. We went to a few parks working on obedience and even met up with our bestie Tribe for a private lesson! Willow is doing a lot better with her confidence as she continues to mature and grow!

Sloan!!!! Sloan is a nervous boy!!! Most of you know Peyton’s nurse Pam and Maude. They recently added a new addition. Here he is!!

Sloan is very nervous around people and dogs. When I first took him he wouldn’t come out of the car. He was just trying to run away once he was out. BUTTTTTTT with patience I was able to get this boy out of his shell and playing! Pam already did all of his obedience. She did an amazing job with that. The only thing we need to do is teach him how to walk on the leash and confidence building. We did a ton of that today!

Super happy with his first day trip! Working a fearful dog is extremely tricky and constantly changes to the dog. It’s the reason I started training and is still my favorite work. It is extremely rewarding watching these guys flourish!

I didn’t get much video or pictures! I wish I had more when he was nervous for the first few hours. It was me Jed and the cats that played a part in Sloan’s day trip today!

Another day trip with this little girl! Ruby!!! Today we really pushed the heel and maintaining commands in distraction. We hit a crowded park and tried to take on all of the distractions. Ruby did great! Ruby’s owner came in for a private lesson at the end to work Ruby herself and handle her with all of the distractions around. They both were successful! Two great day trips today!

A day trip with a handsome golden named Harry! Harry’s owners have done AMAZING work with him. The only thing they are still struggling with is his excitement on the leash when he sees others dogs. So today that’s what we focused on! At the end of the day trip his owners came in for a private lesson so I could show them what I did and how I worked him through different situations!

The SMA walk is here! I am asking for you to sponsor me as I walk for my niece Peyton. A lot of you have seen Peyton on my social media pages. She is a sassy 6 year old with Spinal Muscular Atrophy - Type 0. Peyton was given 2 weeks to live. With the help of trial drugs Peyton is now 6 years old, goes to school, talks, moves…she does everything we were told she was NEVER going to do!

Cure SMA funds and directs comprehensive research that drives breakthroughs in treatment, advances access to high-quality care, provides practical support programs, and advocates for the needs of the SMA community.

Please consider making a tax deductible donation to sponsor me as I walk for Peyton 💖

Back to NJ to finish up with Tribe! Tribe is doing amazing with her training. She is almost completely off leash, listens to commands in distractions and maintains them! Not too bad for 7 months old 🤗

It started out with pouring rain but ended up being a great morning! With a lot of obedience and some socialization these guys did great. We even received some compliments on how well behaved they were. Thank you Sandy for meeting up with me all the way out in Chadds Ford! It was great company and awesome having an extra set of hands 💖🐾
