Tampa Tuesday needs to be a thing! Goose, the German Shorthaired Pointer, is here for a board and train because his extreme anxiety made life chaotic for his owners. He couldn’t handle being crated or left alone, which meant they couldn’t even step out for groceries without a meltdown. Now, we’re working on building his confidence and giving his owners their freedom back!

Today is Kash’s fourth birthday! 🎉

Kash is a former training client and a regular boarding guest. (And if you didn’t know, we do offer boarding—but only for past clients!)

But today isn’t about us—it’s all about Kash! Drop a comment and wish this good boy a happy birthday! 🐾

It’s finally Friday! What fun activities are you doing with your dogs this weekend??

Everyone thinks their dog is an angel, but Jax has the halo to prove it. 😇🐾

As a dog owner, buying dog food is a must. Why not support local small businesses in the process? If you're in downtown Tampa or Channelside, check out Modern Paws - they have great products and I love supporting local. Plus, I try to bring my pup-in-training, Jack, with me wherever I can. Today's adventure takes us to downtown Tampa. The first pics are adorable, and the last ones are some funny bloopers.

Friday vibes: Training hard so the weekend is stress-free. A well-trained dog means more freedom, more adventures, and zero worries. Who’s putting in the work today? 👊🐾

A tired dog isn’t always a good dog. Mental work matters just as much as physical exercise!
