Scholarships! This is something I’ve done in the past but only when someone had leftover appointments they specifically donated.

Now I’m publicly opening up a donation link for pet parents to help each other. If you have ever felt the benefit of training your dog and feel led to pay it forward to help another pet parent, please consider donating to our scholarship fund.

Scholarships may be applied to private training and group classes, virtual or in-person. In most cases, they will be granted on a first come, first served basis. An application must be filled out in order to be considered. We suggest those in need of assistance have an application on file. (Filling out an application is not a guarantee of a scholarship.)

If there are no applications on file, a scholarship or partial scholarship may be granted to a foster pup or a dog in rescue. ☺️

Trainers’ dogs aren’t perfect. We go through the same disappointments as our clients. You may not see it, but most of us have been there at some point.

It can be really hard when your dog’s behavior is less than ideal. It’s even harder when there are other people around to see it or when it involves them.

You guys, today was mortifying. I was too embarrassed to even apologize. I just got the dog the heck away and into the car.

Here are some things that I need to keep in mind for my specific situation:

- We had been making great progress with leash walking just a few moments before the incident.

- We had already been doing a lot of impulse control work. In fact, that is what we were actively doing, and it was going well!

- Harmony hadn’t had exercise yet.

- The lunging was probably because she wanted attention from newly present person.

- The aggressive sounds were probably frustration from not getting the attention or from the leash preventing her from jumping on them.

- My husband’s two cents: “She’s still a puppy. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad trainer. You’re a great trainer.”

Disappointments happen, but that doesn’t prevent us from having big feelings of sadness or guilt. Instead, take the temporary loss, use it to change your approach, and make it a win next time!

Our last spring classes of 2025 start tomorrow! This session will run into mid-May. We have openings for both puppies and adults at this time.

In June, we will begin our flexible scheduling summer format. This format allows for more variety of students in each class with a less structured class format. You still receive the same high quality instruction, it’s just a more laid-back way! It is perfect for those taking vacations or families that cannot do consistent weeks.

Our normal seven-week sessions will resume in the fall. If you thrive on consistent scheduling, we suggest you register for the class starting March 25th. Even if you miss the first week, call or text us. We might be able to fit you in this last session - 240-788-2275.

In last week’s podcast episode, we did a deep dive into pet feelings and whether or not we should care as much as we do. I talked about the recent case that inspired the episode and what can happen if we disregard our pets’ agency when engaging with them.

Your dog’s not purposefully giving you a hard time. They’re having a really difficult experience, and you’re along for the ride. In this episode, we talk about what this looks like, how it affects you, and how to create a game plan to get through it.

This podcast isn’t about advice. It’s about support. People tell you having pets is hard. But no one tells you how alone you can feel when problems come up. We’re here to stop that.

Many of you know I lost my partner, teammate, and best friend Toby in December. What I didn’t tell you is that for exactly two weeks, he had an annoying little sister who thought he was the coolest thing in the world! EVERY time she saw him, she wanted to invade his space and play. She was a total fan girl.

Harmony is the next generation of Atta Pup! She’s working very hard to gain the skills she needs to be a working trainer dog. She’s got big paw prints to fill, but she’s trying her best and learning VERY fast.

Thanks to for being patient with all of my questions and for helping me welcome this little nugget into my home.

You can text us!

We have been getting so many spam calls lately. What’s worse is that it is usually coming from our area code, the one most of our clients have. 😕

We don’t know what the problem is, so call screening has been turned on. When you call, there will be a message asking for you to say your name. Please don’t let it scare you. It’s just helping us know that you are a real person with a real dog.

If you feel more comfortable, you can send us a text. We know that voice messages and voicemails are not for everyone.

Thank you ❤️
