Charlie has been making huge strides in his program! Before training, he struggled with anxious behaviors and resource guarding. Now, he’s a more confident dog who has developed a love for exploring the world and playing appropriately with other dogs!

Happy National Black Dog Day, especially to my favorite black lab, Wade Wilson. He’s always up for a new adventure, especially if a ball or water (or in this case both) is involved. He’s a goofy boy and brings so much light and laughter to our lives 🥰

September is National Service Dog Month! This month we’ll be featuring some of our favorite Service Dogs as well as some facts about these amazing canine helpers. Did you know any breed or size of dog can be a service dog? While we often see larger breeds filling these roles, small dogs are often used to assist people who don’t necessarily need large dogs. In fact, we are seeing a higher number of small dogs being used for tasks such as medical alert as they are significantly easier to travel with and tend to live longer than larger breeds.

We’d love to hear about your service dog!

Kenya has been absolutely CRUSHING IT lately! In the couple of weeks we’ve been working together, Kenya’s owner reports that she has become much more confident and is a pleasure to take out in public. From scared, flighty, and reactive to stable and predictable, I’m so proud of this sweet girl and her owner for all their hard work and commitment!

Happy !

Years ago, I was facing dog trainer burnout for the first time. When I reached out to one of my mentors for advice, they told me to take photos. Print them, keep them in a separate folder on your phone, whatever. And when the days get hard, look back and reflect on all the lives you’ve touched. The dogs who are out there, living their best lives with their humans because of the work we do.

I now take photos of every dog I train, and I have printed several out and hang them on a board in my office. And on days like today, I just want to say “thank you”.

To the dogs who make me smile every day, who make this feel like I’m hardly working. To the dogs who make me want to slam my head into a wall and the dogs who have shaped me into the trainer I am today. And a humongous thank you to the owners who have trusted me with them over the years. I’m grateful for every minute I share with them.
