Foxy absolutely crushed her first carrier training session today! ✨
We’re starting early so she can fly confidently in a few months — and shaping the behavior now means zero pressure, all clarity, and tons of success.
Today we:
• Shaped the ā€œgo inā€ behavior
• Added a single-word cue
• Cleaned up our mechanics (minus one rogue click šŸ˜…)
• Fed in position + used a release cue
• Tossed treats to reset and keep the movement FUN
• Kept both sides open so she never felt trapped
And the best part?
This sweet little dog is reactive to people inside her home… and she stayed under threshold the entire session AND mastered the behavior with me coaching her mom. Huge win for her confidence and nervous system. šŸ’›šŸ¾
If you want this kind of progress for your dog, my February & March 2026 waitlist is open!
Training options:
• Private Sessions
• Day Training
• Board & Train

In 2019, my car accident was the wake-up call I didn’t know I needed.
I had been running myself ragged — doing everything for everyone, burning the candle at both ends, and calling it ā€œnormal.ā€
That moment forced me to slow down and look inward.
I started learning about trauma and what it actually does to the brain… and in the process of healing myself, I uncovered my life’s work: helping people understand and support their reactive dogs with compassion.
I poured into my education, built a business that allowed me to homeschool the kids, rest when migraines hit, and finally put my health first.
And now? I’m booking new training clients every week. My training business has quadrupled in six months. I’m finally living a life that feels aligned, purposeful, and truly mine.
If you’re in your healing era — I see you. ✨

Meet Tank, an incredibly sweet adult Golden Retriever who’s been struggling with fear, anxiety, and confidence in everyday life. New noises, movement, and changes in the environment can feel overwhelming for him — so he’s joined our day training + rehabilitation program to learn that the world isn’t so scary after all.
We’ll be using force-free, science-backed methods to help Tank build trust, resilience, and real confidence at his own pace.

šŸŒ§ļøAs the weather finally shifts and the rain moves in, the whole house seems to exhale.
Even our boarders tuck in quietly, settling into the calm rhythm of the evening.
This is the heart of my work—creating a peaceful, force-free, science-backed environment where dogs can breathe, rest, and feel safe 🩵

Too sick for real training, not too sick for a kiddie pool full of chaos because enrichment doesn’t stop just because I’ve got the plague. At least one of us is thriving!

All jokes aside, any enrichment is valuable even if it’s low effort like this project. Rapunzel was a bit nervous of noise a few weeks ago but she’s definitely finding her confidence and had no problem jumping right into this pool of water bottles and crinkle paper. She pushed stuff around like a champ, finding each and every kibble before deciding to put herself down for a nap.

So, even though my temp is 101° F and my energy level is at 6%, my commitment to enrichment remains at 110%.
Because even on my deathbed, I’ll find a way to make noise exposure a teachable moment.

Serving glamour, grace, and a hint of ā€˜just blew in from the groomer’ šŸ’ØšŸ’ā€ā™‚ļø

Paddy is here for boarding but we always squeeze in some training while he’s here. This week we’re working on his separation anxiety. He waits for me at the gate while I briefly leave his sight, then I reinforce him remaining quiet when I return - he’s getting a little too good at it and decided to hit his mark and strike a pose like the ā­ļø that he is!

Potty training isn’t magic — it’s well-timed coincidences ✨
Success comes from structure, consistency, and smart timing, not luck!

In this clip, you’ll see how we use natural transitions (like playtime ending) as cues to head outside — setting pups up to want to go in the right place. I’ll use the cue ā€œpottyā€ to prevent distractions on the way - since we’re further way from the yard, but once outside my body language stays neutral to communicate that we’re here to potty, not play.

Our Puppy Board & Train Program and Private Puppy Sessions make potty training simple, stress-free, and actually fun. 🐾
