What a fun night!! One of my long time students is moving away so her class had a going away party for her!

I love that they aren't just classmates, but they have become friends!

I'll post more later, but I had to share!

Companion 2 class is scheduled!
Tuesdays @ 3:45 Starting March 11
I have 3 spots available.
If you are interested, send me a message and I'll send the sign up info.

Companion 2 is a great class for dog's that struggle with distractions. Every week you get tools to help your dog stay focused on you, even when there's a lot going on.
We follow Denise Fenzi's book, Beyond the Backyard. It's a great class and a lot of fun!

Editing for clarity...

I'm going to be teaching puppy classes soon. What's one thing you wish you knew about raising a puppy, that a class or trainer could have helped you with?

I just received the nicest compliment from a student!
"How do you know investing in Alison’s dog classes are worth it? When your dog is in an out of sight x-pen with his brother and the brother jumps it and runs amok. Insert 5 minutes of chaos catching the loose dog, and people come back with now captured dog and discover the x-pen is open and BOGIE is sitting in it, waiting for the command to get out, watching everything but being a very good boy!

Thank you Alison!❤️❤️❤️"

Thank you, Gail, this means the world to me!

Please share far and wide.

This very happy girl needs a foster or adopter.

This is Maddy, about a year old spayed female husky Poodle cross.

She's a very happy, friendly young dog. Mildly reactive when she meets new things but recovers quickly.

Will chase a cat but also will respect a cat that holds its ground.

She does well with dogs as friends but probably would do best living as an only dog or with a large male.

She was adopted in January from me as a puppy but returned recently for fighting with her sibling, a female herdy dog.

She is on a prescription diet.
She's seeing my personal vet tomorrow to find out if this is a lifetime thing, or if she's likely to outgrow it. (She gets UTIs from having a recessed v***a, and was spayed fairly young). I've heard this can be outgrown, and that being overweight can make it worse. She's definitely overweight and is on a diet.

I really need to find a place for her sooner than later as life is taking a huge change for us and I'll have even less room/time or spoons!

Happy to consider rescue as well.

Julie Flanery it's doing the contest until noon today.
Take a video of you doing one of your dog's cutest tricks. I'm pretty sure she's doing a random draw and if your name is picked you get a free class! This is for her mimicry class, which I haven't taken yet. But I know it's a good one because everything she does is great! Here's the link if you want to and you can also see my cute little video.

This "lap dog" thing is growing on him.
He loves sitting on the arm of my chair after he's had a good roughhouse session with Mayhem.

Please continue to share Archie.
He's looking for a home.

Located in Vancouver WA

Good with other dogs
Good with cats
No small children (he's playful, but does use his mouth)
Crate trained (first 24 hours were stressful, now he's silent)
Neutered
Current vaccines

Very playful, loves to jump on things. Would make a great little parkour, agility or training buddy.
