This training session was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we give dogs clear direction, emotional support, and space to process at their own pace.

When I first arrived, she was alert and uneasy with my demo dog nearby. Close proximity to another dog typically heightens her concern, and her family wasn’t sure how to help her settle. We took our time, introduced structure, and focused on building confidence using calm guidance and positive reinforcement.

By the end of the session, she was laying calmly next to my demo dog, showing us that when she feels safe, she is capable of choosing steadiness over reactivity.

The real highlight was watching her sit in her designated spot facing the front door as we were leaving—a situation that once would have triggered barking or lunging. Instead, she remained composed, held her position, and allowed us to walk out calmly. That moment spoke volumes about her progress, and even more about the strength of her growing trust in her handlers.

Reactivity does not improve through pressure. It improves through understanding, clarity, consistency, and support.
If you’re ready to walk your dog through their next step forward, I’d be honored to help you begin that journey with a clear, compassionate training plan.

Sometimes gratitude hits a little deeper.
Earlier this month, our family faced a few scary days — first with Thor, then with my husband — and for a while, everything else stood still. Tests, waiting, more tests… and more waiting.

Thor’s liver and kidneys are still being closely watched, but the best news of all is that he’s cancer free. My husband’s heart scare turned out to be dehydration, and we are both incredibly thankful to be home, together, and moving toward healing.

This Thanksgiving, our plans are simple — cozy up, enjoy a quiet day at home, and laugh through our favorite classic, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.

I’m beyond grateful for good news, for the support of our clients and friends, and for the reminder that life’s most precious moments aren’t about perfection — they’re about presence. 💜

What are you most grateful for in this season of healing, home, or hope?

Every time we meet a newly adopted dog, we get to witness the start of something incredible — a story of patience, trust, and second chances. There’s something truly special about watching a dog begin to realize they’re finally home.

We’re so thankful for the families who open their hearts to adopted dogs and for the rescues and shelters who work tirelessly to help them find love and stability. Those first several weeks may be messy and emotional, but they’re also filled with hope — and hope is where transformation begins.

At Animal House Academy, we’ve seen that every new beginning is worth celebrating — because it’s not just the start of training, it’s the start of belonging. 💜

If you’ve adopted your dog, share their “Gotcha Day” story or a photo of when they first came home — we’d love to celebrate them with you!

Gratitude lives in the little moments — the quiet sigh after a long walk, the nose nudge asking for one more scratch, the way your dog settles next to you after a good training session.

Those moments might seem small, but they’re where connection really lives. Every “aha” glance, every tail wag, every calm breath is a reminder that progress doesn’t just happen in big leaps — it grows quietly through everyday interactions built on trust and love.

Today, I’m grateful for those peaceful, in-between moments that remind us how far we’ve come, one calm heartbeat at a time. 💜

Every success story begins with teamwork — between the handler who shows up with love and patience, and the dog who learns to trust and try again.

Today, I’m feeling especially grateful for the incredible humans who commit to that process. The ones who celebrate small wins, laugh through the stumbles, and stay consistent even when it’s not easy. Your dedication makes all the difference.

At Animal House Academy, we don’t just teach dogs; we teach communication, confidence, and connection. And every tail wag we see along the way is a reminder that teamwork truly transforms lives — one leash at a time. 💜

Tag a friend or family member who’s part of your dog’s success story — the one who cheers you on or helps with those practice sessions!

Every home we visit and every leash we hold reminds us that training isn’t a straight line — it’s a journey. A path filled with learning, patience, laughter, and those tiny “aha!” moments that make it all worthwhile.

I’m so grateful for every client who chooses trust over frustration, connection over control, and progress over perfection. You inspire me every single day to keep showing up, keep learning, and keep believing in what’s possible for every dog and human team.

Thank you for letting Animal House Academy be a small part of your story — it’s a privilege I never take for granted. 💜

Today begins our 24 Days of Gratitude, and I couldn’t think of a better way to start than with this moment right here — just me and Thor on another adventure together.

Every day with him reminds me why Animal House Academy exists — because the love, trust, and laughter our dogs bring into our lives deserve to be celebrated. This season, I’m thankful for every tail wag, every training breakthrough, and every client who lets us be part of their story.

From our family to yours — thank you for being here, for cheering us on, and for believing in what positive training can do. 💜
