This little Corgi is a little over a week into her training program and already learning that paying attention pays off.

Right now, we’re keeping things light and fun—turning distractions into opportunities for engagement. The goal isn’t perfection yet—it’s building awareness and focus through short, intentional games that help her want to check in.

It’s always amazing to see how quickly young dogs start to understand that their name means, “Hey, something good’s about to happen!”

🐾 Good start, Luna! Big things ahead.

Repetition is what teaches your dog the basics—but it’s variety that makes those skills hold up in real life. 🚶‍♀️🐾

If you walk the same route every day, your dog learns to anticipate every smell, sound, and corner. That predictability can actually create overexcitement or frustration. By switching up locations, routes, and environments, you’re teaching your dog that obedience isn’t tied to one place—it’s a life skill.

👉 Try changing your dog’s walk route this week. Notice how well (or not so well) they handle it. Reliability is built when your dog can adapt anywhere.

Cooler temps = time to get back out there!

I’m opening Adventure Days on Tuesdays & Thursdays—a focused maintenance option for dogs who need real-world reps around distractions. This isn’t standard day training—we’re out and about with structure and purpose.

Packages:
Single day — $120
4 days — $375
10 days — $900

Spots are limited so we can keep quality high. Reply with your preferred days and I’ll lock in your spot.

(If you've never trained with us before an in person assessment will be required before a dog can join. Contact for more info!)

While these classes are for already established clients looking to continue practicing around distractions, I am considering putting together a beginning group class if there's enough interest. If that's something you may be interested in please reach out.

There’s been some questionable legislation making its rounds the past few years so just a reminder for all my clients and pet owners:

PETA, ASPCA & similar orgs often oppose responsible pet ownership and promote extremist views against any animal use—including training, working dogs, and even having pets.

Support local shelters, ethical rescues, responsible breeders and trainers who believe in strong, respectful human-animal partnerships.

🔍 Do your research. Animals deserve better than blind support.

Our Board & Train program isn’t one-size-fits-all.

🐕💪 It’s results-based, not time-boxed.

Every dog learns at their own pace—and our training timeline reflects that.

What makes our program different?

✅ Flexible timelines based on progress
✅ You train with your dog before they come home
✅ Real-world practice, not just commands
✅ Dogs “graduate” when they’re ready—not when a calendar says so

We build strong foundations that last—for both ends of the leash.

Not all Board and Train programs are created equal.

Our programs are results-based, not locked into rigid timelines. That means we adjust based on your dog’s actual progress—not a calendar.

🐾 What makes our approach different?

✔️ Flexible Timelines: Every dog learns at their own pace. We take the time your dog *actually needs*—not just the time that fits in a 3- or 4-week window.

✔️ Owner Practice Built In: You’ll train with your dog before they come home full time. This ensures you know how to reinforce what they’ve learned and keep progress going.

✔️ Real-Life Application: We don’t just train in a vacuum. Dogs practice commands in home-like environments and out in the world with distractions, so they’re ready for real life.

✔️ No Cookie Cutter End Date: Some dogs need 4 weeks. Some need 6 or more. I don’t send them home until they’re ready —and you are too.

I'm here to help create real change, not temporary fixes.

Our Story

Whether you have had animals your whole life, recently decided to add a new family member or are researching doing so, one thing is clear: Owning an animal involves commitment.

At some point there may be a problem you can't seem to solve or a goal you'd like to reach but you just aren't sure how to get there. There are endless methods, theories and "how to" guides but the most important factor is finding what will work for YOUR pet in your situation and lifestyle. We're here to help you not only find but implement the right training plan to reach your goals with your animal.

At Animal Minds our goal is to teach everyone to be self sufficient. If we've done our job successfully, one day you won't need us at all! Every Client should understand their animal and what motivates them, how to troubleshoot unwanted behaviors and get the most out of your relationship.
