Doodle lovers or those looking to add to your family - meet Koko! She's a 3yr old spayed Labradoodle needing to find a new forever family! Koko and her sister doodle have had issues getting along, which is increasing both of their stress and reactivity. Koko did pretty good at the shelter with dogs; however, she's dog selective. Koko is great with humans and is receiving training to reduce anxiety and increase her confidence in do***ng! If interested in meeting this beauty to see if she's a good fit for your home, please reach out to myself or Kristie at 605-881-5053!

We've got some EXCITING UPDATES on Walking Groups, Distracted Recall, and Leash Etiquette classes!

Distracted Recall - 1hr group sessions beginning at the basic level then increasing intensity and adding distractibility and distance.

Leash Etiquette - 1hr group sessions designed to break down leash etiquette with a multitude of different techniques while increasing owner's control and confidence.

These classes are held at different days and times through the week. The class is $25 per canine, and the schedule can be found online at the link below. Click Book Online and select 'Individual Classes' from the dropdown menu. Book and pay online to reserve your slot.

WALKING GROUPS - I will be launching some walking groups at different locations beginning June 17th for the Monday at 2pm sessions and July 6th for some Saturdays at 1pm sessions. Walking groups are free; however, if you're needing assistance with leash etiquette, enroll in one of the individual classes prior to attending. Walking groups are available for non-reactive as well as reactive canines that have attending and graduated my ISO courses.
