2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ is the first year that I am genuinely ready to part ways with…
Though we had a great year with some truly amazing dogs and people, we lost way too many dogs that have meant the absolute world to me and not only shaped this business, but have made me a better dog trainer and human.
Kal, my deaf Australian shepherd, left us earlier this month.
Tori, my adopted daughter 😆 the matriarch of puppy school and just genuinely the BEST dog left us this year,
Reynolds, my scruffy little gremlin that would scream every morning until I came out to get him.
Riley, the smartest golden boy I’ve ever met. He didn’t know a single stranger and was just genuinely the best boy.
Wilma, though we only knew her a short time, quickly made her way into the ACE family and was such a pleasure to have around.
And more….
Thank you to all of these families for allowing me so much time with your beloved canines; they have truly made a lifelong impact on my life and career and I’m forever grateful.
Here’s to a better, healthier, 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣.
Happy New Year Everyone 🐾
