When an old friend needs help, you go without hesitation—especially when that friend has four paws and a heart full of hope. 🐾❤️

Today, we answered the call for one of our former shelter pups who needed a little extra support. Once a part of our family, always a part of our family.

Because love doesn’t end at adoption—it grows. 💛

Over the years, I couldn’t be happier for the success of our business. I always wanted our main mission to be about putting dogs first over money.

The second part of it is about family. We have worked as a family since the beginning. My son, Mason, has played a key role behind the scenes. Mason has done an amazing job even with many of our toughest dogs. This week is bittersweet. It is our last week working together. Mason leaves for the Army next week. I can’t say enough how proud and honored to have this time and opportunity to work together in a business named after our granddaughter. It will not be the same!

We absolutely love this picture! 🥹🐾 These two sweet pups once shared space at the shelter, dreaming of a better life. Today, they’re both thriving in loving homes, surrounded by happiness, playtime, and all the belly rubs they could ever want. 💕

This is why we do what we do. Every dog deserves this kind of joy.

Adopt. Foster. Share. You could be the reason another tail starts wagging. 🐶✨

🌟 We are so proud of Eevee and Umi and the incredible progress they’ve made this week. When they first arrived, they couldn’t even look at each other without tension and conflict. Today, they’re learning to coexist, to trust, and to grow — one step at a time. ❤️

Their journey isn’t over, but the transformation has already begun.

At our core, we are more than just an obedience school. We help heal, rebuild trust, and create lasting change. If you’re struggling, you don’t have to walk this path alone. Let us help you write your success story. 🐾✨

💙 Meet Scooby! 💙
We had an incredible training session with this sweet boy today. But the reality is, his long stay at the shelter is beginning to weigh on him. Scooby is bursting with potential, love, and loyalty—he just needs someone to give him the chance to shine.

Please consider opening your heart and home to Scooby. He’s ready to be someone’s best friend, adventure buddy, and lifelong companion. Let’s not let him wait any longer.

🏡 Adopt Scooby. Change his life. Let him change yours.

In a world that moves fast, sometimes the kindest thing you can do is slow down and sit with someone who needs it. 💛

Thank you to Greg from Mavis K9 Academy for working with our dogs again today!

Blitz Update!
Pretty sure I’ve finally figured out why I can’t get ready on time in the mornings… Blitz. He has officially settled into his new life and let’s just say—we definitely ruined a perfectly good working dog. 😂

Instead of staying sharp and on-task, he’s now the king of slow mornings, belly rub demands, and “just five more minutes” snuggles. Honestly, I think he’s thriving. And I wouldn’t have it any other way!

🌟 Meet Eevee! 🌟

Eevee is here for our board and train program, and this sweet girl is working hard to grow and shine! She had a tough time getting along with her sister, but we’re helping her build confidence and learn new ways to thrive. 💪🐾

Every day, Eevee is making incredible progress — proof that with patience, love, and the right guidance, every pup can become their best self. 💖✨

🐾 Pro Tip from the Dog Training Trenches! 🐾

When working with dogs, stable, closed-toe shoes are your best friend. Why? Well… sometimes the unexpected happens. 😂

Let’s just say that open-toed shoes + excited pups = a golden surprise you won’t soon forget. 💦👣

Dog p*e on your feet? Yeah, that’s not exactly the “liquid gold” we’re going for. 😉

Stay safe. Stay dry. Wear the shoes. 👟🐶

🎉 Meet Phillip! 🎉

Phillip holds a special place in our hearts because he’s a rescue from Hamilton Humane 💙. This sweet boy has already come so far, and now he’s taking the next big step in his journey with our Board & Train program! 🐾

Phillip is bursting with energy, happiness, and the biggest heart. His mission? To become the very best brother he can be! 💪🐶

We are so proud of him and can’t wait to see him grow, learn, and shine. ✨ Let’s cheer Phillip on as he works hard to be the best version of himself! 🎊🐾
