I’ve known Marcus since he was just a tiny puppy , back when those big paws didn’t give away just how much of a giant he’d become. Now he’s bigger than me and his mama🐾💛

Marcus comes for day school and boards often, but truthfully, he and his family aren’t “clients” anymore — they’ve become part of my family. He’s my buddy, my constant companion, and he has helped me and countless dogs build confidence showing that big boys like him to have gentle souls.

Marky received a tough diagnosis this past week, and while the road ahead may have its challenge. I promise you, pal, you’re not walking it alone. We are all in this with you — every step of the way. You are so deeply loved, and I’m honored to be one of your people.

Here’s to more adventures, more memories, and many more days just like this. 🤍

🌸 Meet Poppy 🌸

Poppy is a 4-year-old puppy-mill mom survivor who has faced more fear in her short life than most dogs ever will.

She was adopted by a wonderful family who absolutely adores her, but helping Poppy adjust to the world has been a real uphill challenge. She struggles with even the simplest parts of being a dog — walking on a leash, hearing loud noises, or meeting new people and basic potty training. The world feels overwhelming for her and it she shuts down.

Imagine being a 40-year-old person who has lived in one room your entire life , never seeing the sky, never hearing traffic, never touching grass and then suddenly being dropped into it all at once. That’s what life feels like for Poppy right now.

But beneath her fear is the sweetest, most gentle soul. She wants to be brave. She wants to trust. Every tiny step forward — from taking a few confident steps to looking up for reassurance to humans , is a huge milestone.

Her family has sent her to training with me to help Poppy learn how to dog from someone who understands them the most. It will be my job to gain her trust and help her navigate this big, beautiful, sometimes scary world. It’s not going to be an easy task, but it will be an incredibly rewarding one for both of us. 💛

💜 Raven update 💜
Raven has been such a joy to have in training — full of life, energy, and heart! She’s a happy, playful girl who loves to learn and be part of the action.

During her time with us, Raven has been working on her recall, proper greetings, and building a fun, structured game of fetch 🎾. She’s eager to please, smart, and thrives when given clear direction.

Raven is crate trained, house trained, and does wonderfully with dogs, cats, and kids ! She’s adoptable through Bobbie's Pit Bull Rescue and her future family will receive one-on-one coaching to ensure a smooth transition and continued success at home.

This sweet girl is ready to bring joy, love, and laughter to her forever home! 💛

✨ Meet Raven! ✨

Raven is our newest Board & Train pup from Bobbie's Pit Bull Rescue! 🐾

This powerhouse girl pulls like a freight train when she wants to say hi 🚂💨 and sometimes struggles to read other dogs’ social cues—but that’s exactly why she’s here. With a big personality, a love for tug, and a serious obsession with fetch (we’re still fine-tuning the “bring it back” and “drop it” parts 😉), she’s already proving to be so much fun to train!

With the right structure, clear communication, and plenty of healthy outlets for her energy, she’s going to shine in her new home!

We already see that Raven is going to thrive with this program as she is already showing us how much she loves engaging with her handler! We cannot wait to see her transformation unfold and hope
To find her the perfect family in the process of this💙🐾

Enrich. Train. Transform.

🚫 When trainers say “work your dog outside the dog park” that doesn’t mean letting them stare at the fence and become more frustrated .

👀 Staring, barking, whining, pacing — that’s just loading up and build more frustration and reactivity.

✨ The real goal:
• Neutrality 🐾
• Calmness 🌿
• Engagement with YOU 🙌

Your dog doesn’t need to obsess over what’s on the other side of the fence. They need to learn that other dogs existing nearby isn’t a big deal and isn’t as fun as you are.

When you train in that space, reward focus on you. Teach them the world can go on around them, and they can stay clear-headed and connected with you.

That’s how you build a balanced, neutral dog.

🌈💔 In Loving Memory of Vince 💔🌈

Vince came to us for a board & train in June, but his journey was cut short as his epilepsy began to worsen. I made the difficult decision to send him home early so he could be surrounded by the love of his family and come up with a new game plan. No one could have predicted this outcome—we only wanted to give him the best shot at a better life.

Sadly, his condition was progressive, and even with every effort, management was no longer enough. His family did absolutely everything possible to save him, but sometimes the greatest act of love we can give our dogs is the gift of peace. Vince’s brain was failing him, and setting him free was the most selfless choice.

My heart is shattered, and I know his family’s grief is even deeper. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they mourn their sweet boy.

Run free, Vince. You were so deeply loved, and you will never be forgotten. 🐾✨

🌟 Welcome back, Birdie! 🌟

Birdie is enrolled in our Puppy to Adult Program, which means she completed her Puppy Board & Train and is now back for the adult portion—6 weeks total of training focused on off-leash reliability and becoming the best version of herself! 🐾✨

Why is this program the best?
✅ Because it grows with your dog. Puppies start with structure, manners, and foundation skills, then return as adults to master advanced obedience and real-world reliability. Instead of stopping at the basics, your dog learns to succeed through every stage of development—giving you confidence and freedom for years to come.

We’re so excited to see Birdie crush her off-leash training—she’s already proving to be a superstar! 💙

Gino signed up for vibes, not chaos.
It’s always fun watching dogs grow into the mature one in the group.
Group play? He said, “I’ll just watch, thanks.”
Polite, observant, and 100% judging everyone from the sidelines.

Last October we pulled Star into our rescue to recover from wound surgery. For about 8 months she had very little interest, so we decided to give her a step up and enrolled her in a board and train program with . Of course 2 weeks before going to training, Star's forever family found her. We let them know our plan for Star and they were willing to wait for her to finish.

This past Saturday was both Star's graduation from training and her adoption day. Her new mom and dad are looking forward to taking Star on trips, hikes, and brewery and winery visits with them and sharing lots of cuddles. In addition, they want to build on the foundation Star received and to get her Canine Good Citizen certified. It took awhile, we are so happy the perfect family came along for this special girl. Congratulations to all! Happy Gotcha Day!
