While we continue sending prayers for the families effected by Helen and anyone in Miltons path, we wanted to remind everyone of another incredibly important reason to make sure your dog is calm and comfortable in a crate. Make sure your dog is prepared for life's unexpected and unfortunate events.

Sasha! Proud of this girl, her new family and new co workers!

Meet Sasha, our new Facility Dog!

Sasha is a two year old Golden Retriever, trained by Paws With A Cause® and Magnum K9, through a special partnership with Veterans Service of Southern Michigan. Sasha has been trained to work with the River Country Eye Care team (and the Goff family) as her handlers to help patients feel more comfortable and reduce stress. Meeting Sasha is completely voluntary and the team will make sure patients are comfortable with dogs before interacting with her. If you'd like to follow Sasha's adventures, be sure to check out her Instagram account!

Our little Max and Chief! Happy National Fire Dog day!

🐾🔥 Happy National Fire Pup Day! 🔥🐾

Today, we celebrate the brave pups who assist our firefighters in keeping our communities safe! These four-legged heroes are more than just companions; they’re trained to detect dangers, provide comfort, and even help with rescue operations.

Join us in honoring these amazing canines! Share a picture of your furry friend in their fire gear or simply give them an extra belly rub today. 💖🐶

Pictured is Max, our hometown fire pup!

"PROFESSIONALLY" ....
Training 5-10 of your own pet/family dogs at home the first 18-20 years of your life doesn't make those years count as your PROFESSIONAL career in training! That is where your PASSION for training began, not your career!

There has been a huge uptick in "Professional" dog trainers out there with little to no experience except for the dogs they grew up with.

EVERYONE has got to start some place and there is plenty of room for everyone but be honest in your experience and reflect your pricing to match that.

I started my career in animal training and behavior when I was 22. I got to work with and learn from some of the top trainers in their field in the country. 6 years ago I took what I learned and dove into the dog world. Seminars, classes through Duke University on Dog Cognition, hands on experience, books and showing up to trainings just to watch and STILL my first clients were only charged $25 an hour.

Scott started his career working bird dogs PROFESSIONALLY at 18yrs old, 25 years ago! And his knowledge and career have slowly expanded since then. Bird dogs, search and research, Service and therapy, police and detection as well as pets.

Please pay attention when you're looking into hiring someone. Consider their experience and what you need. A new trainer lacking experience might not be the best option for your reactive, anxious GSD.

Proud to be a part of this community and get to work with the handlers and dogs who support each other!

Did you know…
That there is a group of ESA K9s and handlers that come together during critical incidents to support staff and students in need?

Today we worked with four K9s from three different districts across two counties to support our communities. That’s the best kind of team work! 🐾

Special thank you to Magnum K9 for connecting us all in this meaningful work. 🤍
