Little Scruffy had a relaxing vacation while enjoying the company of some nice dog friends. She was a rescue with some reactivity/fear issues, but her new family has really helped her come out of her shell and feel better despite some health and physical limitations too. It was nice to see her so comfortable here. Good girl Scruffy ❤️

Loyal will be 11 years old soon and I feel the need to make a post in tribute to this incredible dog. I will never have a dog like him ever again.

The last couple years I have spent extra time doing his favorite things, like going on long adventures. I've seen him become happier and healthier. I used to rollerblade for miles with him, but have found that walks do both our bodies better. He has really slowed down but still gets excited to go out with me.

I'm so happy I spent all that time in his youth building his off-leash skills, it makes him super easy to take anywhere. He never takes a step in the road without permission, comes to heel at a snap of a finger, and just enjoys strolling with me for miles. He wasn't an easy dog to train as he had a strong independent streak and high prey drive, but you can see he was entirely worth it.

I love our adventures together and hope he continues to be healthy and happy for a few more years. I rather enjoy this slower pace anyway ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'll be hosting regular doggy daycare socials starting the last week in August! Message me now to make sure you don't miss out!

I do have a small dog group and a medium sized dog group. We love making sure those little dogs are super confident and comfortable, so don't be afraid to message if you have a small dog!

This trainer led doggy social does not allow barking and jumping so that everyone has a happy time. Affection, smiles, sniffing and mutual play are always welcome! These socials decrease dog to dog anxiety, increase comfort and relaxation around other dogs, and increase positive but calm social interactions.

Text me to get in on my schedule! If you are a new client wanting to be welcome to these socials please fill out my training form (seen below) so that I can get pertinent information on your dog. Mention you are seeking play day information on the last paragraph of the form please. Thank you! ❤️☺️

Ruby the four year old lab was in last week for a crash course on leash walking and relaxing in the down stay! Absolutely loved working with this sweet girl! She learned to relax on the leash and in the down-stay. We worked to diminish jumping and any food stealing. Confidence building on the leash as well as some discipline! Such a difference from her consult where she laid down and didn't want to budge for a walk! Good girl!!! She is back with her family now after we got to enjoy her for her vacation. This girl is welcome back anytime. What a doll. Love her!! ❤️

Boarding dogs Tedi and Sully had a couple training days added to keep them busy this week as Sully is a ten month intact male and having healthy outlets for that energy is a must! His owners are keeping him respectful and very well taken care of with so much exercise and socializing! I rarely allow intact males here because they can struggle with over-arousal and pushing boundaries, which makes all the other dogs upset. But this guy is kept on his best behavior which is clearly evident. It has been a fantastic week with these two and we were also so happy to have Bella and Sierra join us for all the fun! Good dogs! ❤️❤️

What a wonderful little group we had with boarding dogs Sully, Tedi, Sierra and Bella. Plus added a few dogs Arlo, Penny, River and Marley to help entertain them today. It was a great day!

I'm sorry we couldn't invite more pups as we had limited space with these larger pups here today. ❤️

Boarding dogs Arlo, Penny and River in this last week have been getting along so well with my family. Sully and Tedi made a visit for daycare adding to the fun. What a fantastic week with such great vibes. Good dogs. ❤️☺️

We are happy to have plenty of vacation guests coming over this summer!

I wanted to post a friendly reminder that we don't take in dogs that have separation anxiety or containment anxiety. All the dogs live with us and are within hearing distance at all times. We keep a friendly and relaxed atmosphere here so that all the humans and dogs are comfortable :)

Dogs who are used to sleeping with their owners tend to develop separation anxiety when away from their owners. We can't sleep with all the dogs coming over so we ask that your dog is used to sleeping by themselves (or with their doggy sibling!) so that they feel comfortable and happy here.

I am a huge advocate for meeting your dog's needs with walks, playtime, affection, relationship building, dog park runs, fun training etc. Part of that is also making sure they have designated relaxation time and can handle not being the center of attention too. This would look like sectioning off a section of the house (we use the living room with couches!) for their "rest time" and going about your day for a few hours while they take a nap or listen to the flow of the family. They shouldn't pace, whine or bark during this time and should be redirected to go lay down to relax if they do.

Have great fun with your dog, play with them as much as you want. Just make sure they can stop when you say stop and don't demand more. Same with attention/affection, give them their turn and make sure they can be quiet when others are getting a turn :) ❤️

If your dog starts developing separation anxiety here, which typically increases in intensity and peaks at day 3-5, they will either need to find a different boarding place or (if I have the availability and have babysitters) will be charged training rates so I have the time to both exercise them thoroughly(healthy energy outlet for anxiety) and teach them to go lay down/relax while I do other activities.

If you plan on sending your dog to board here and they struggle with any of this please let me know ASAP so we can get them on the right path. If you have a dog that meets these requirements we would love to have them over and give them an enjoyable and relaxing vacation :) We love family friendly pups!!

I also offer dog park runs for anyone in for boarding that need some extra exercise!! 😁

Duke, Sadie and Knox have all been coming here for years and are now in for their spring break vacation spending a relaxing time at our house. ❤️ They are all dogs who like to hang out together without feeling the need to interact physically with other dogs. This is very normal, especially after about two years old many dogs would rather play ball, chew on bones and just hang out around family. Many dogs (including my own) prefer touch from people rather than other dogs 😄❤️❤️ We love all these guys and are so happy when we get to see the same dogs every year 🥰

It brings me great joy to see my old shepherd Loyal playing tug with Sully, a young chocolate lab. His owners are dog enthusiasts and long time clients. Sully knows the same tug rules as our dogs to only bite the tug. When learning to play here: if anyone starts getting too competitive/vocal I ask for a drop and then allow play again soon after. But these guys are already doing fantastic.

Loyal needs steady encouragement from me (e.g. good dogs) to get started playing with a dog other than his siblings. I love to see him lose the tug and still play by the rules and only go for the tug. Sully has been a great addition to our group to get more dogs playing tug. Good dogs!!
