Love seeing how amazing she does in new places!

Service dog Nala got some exposure at the Water Lantern Festival in Richmond last night. This was by far the biggest event she has ever been at and she did amazing!

This handsome Rottweiler is a local shelter pup! He is currently my foster.

Did you know if you have a shelter dog that you adopted I offer discounted training services for 3 sessions within the first 3 months after adoption?

Shelter dogs are ones who may have some quirks and need extra help!

July 15th of 2020 Drogo got his stereotypical picture with the target dog! It was the following year Drogo turned 4 and was diagnosed with the end stages of kidney failure with no warning.

Drogo is who my buisness is about and for! My first dog, my first service dog, my first to get a title, my first for everything.

If you have messaged through the online system on my website please note I have discovered today it didn't send me a response from a client and they also didn't get my message.

The website company I use links it to my email, so I'm unsure the error as this is the first time it's happened. If you have attempted to email or message through the website and I haven't responded please let me know as I'm trying to see where the error is coming from.

Thank you

Shelby finished her basic obedience! Her mom has done a great job with her. We have lots to keep working on, but can we appreciate them together. They've come so far.

Princess had a great first session working on loose Leash walking, sit and Down stays, and Recall. She is a very friendly girl with some overexcitement that is also being managed.

Making a dog wait for their food. It's good for thresholds and impulse control.

Would your dogs instantly go after their food?

If you tried to say wait or verbally correct with an "AH ah" would your dogs not understand what you're asking resulting in you saying the command multiple times?

I can help today!

Service dog Nala was attacked recently, so we have been doing some slow outings. Thankfully she is still rock solid around children, which was just in time for my son's birthday party!

Nala got to see the machine that stuffs the bears which was the only thing that really got her attention. Doing small outings like this have been very beneficial!

Service dog Nala and Service dog in training Griffyn worked tandem for the first time in a store! Griffyn is currently going through a fear period, but Walmart only had about 30 cars in the parking lot, so we gave it a shot. They did amazing!

Policy is being expanded. My current policy states if you cancel in less than 24 hours I require a 50% deposit for the next session.

However the policy is being expanded to include that if you're not present at the time of our scheduled session with/without a previous confirmation you will owe the session in full or if it's apart of a package that will count towards the session.

I will wait 15 minutes and if I don't get an answer I will leave and the session is forfeited/still owed in full along with paying for the next session up front.

Extenuating circumstances will be considered on a case by case basis and up to trainer discretion (me).

Thank you for understanding!

I'm happy to schedule an evaluation for your dogs needs! Reach out and we can get you scheduled within 1-2 weeks.

Thank you everybody for bearing with the slow replies the past week. My personal cat diagnosed with kidney failure and shortly after euthanized came home today. 💞

04/23/2024

A client gave me these bad boys!! Nala immediately tried them out and went ham for her beef hearts 😁

04/23/2024

Reach out today for booking needs! I am currently able to get you scheduled within 1-2 weeks.

Thank you! 😊

Service dog Nala had some health issues this year so she had a few months off. We are currently getting her back into the swing of things. While she isn't horrible, she of course has to go slowly back into it.

Nalas focus here was spot on!

She did also recently start agility training in addition to earning her BCAT title as well as her Bronze FIT dog title.

Nala has been a busy little bee.

04/21/2024

Apologies to anybody who has reached out. I'll be responding tonight/tomorrow.

Personal cat was diagnosed with kidney failure on Friday and euthanized today. Been a rough couple days and just needed time to process.

Thank you for understanding!

04/20/2024

Nala got to do some training at our local tractor supply at a cat Adoption Event!

04/19/2024

Shelby had another great session! Can we appreciate her ear?

04/18/2024

Your reminder to sit out and just enjoy life with your dogs!

Training should be consistent, but still fun. Take your breaks and know you're doing great.
