Hi friends and followers. We've reached out to our network in North Carolina who are still in need of help for families without fresh water, pet food, and other pet supplies. The crisis is ongoing and we'd like to empower our audience to help in any way we can.
We're taking donations for delivery the week after Thanksgiving. You can ship directly from Chewy or Amazon or drop off in-person to our location 1853 Polk Street, Chattanooga TN 37408. Cat or Dog supplies (or even small animal), bottled water, blankets, beds, leashes, pet food, etc.
Trucks are coming from all areas including Chattanooga to the affected areas. We simply wanted to create an easy access drop-off point if you'd like to participate in a supply drive. Please send us a DM or text 423-825-8364 if you'd like more details. Thank you in advance for participating 💜💙🐾

Can you believe that Kota used to be so fearful of strangers that we couldn’t get within 10 feet of him when we first met him?!
Or that no one else could put a leash on Kota without him snapping at them?!
It’s taken a lot of time, Kota’s family has done a lot of work, but today Kota is a different dog. He is carefree, he can trust, he’s a goofball. He’s living his best life and we are so so proud of his transformation 🤩💜💙🐾

Foster has been in training for the past 5 weeks and has 3 more to go. This handsome fella loves to go on outings around town with his family, but struggles with greeting strangers up close and can be reactive with visitors in their home.
We’ve been working on his confidence over the last several weeks. Most of the time reactivity is rooted in fear, and we’re showing mom how to keep his attention on her rather than worrying.
These two have been so fun to work with, we love behavior modification cases like Foster and we can help you too!

There's nothing to love about heartworm! Heartworm is a serious disease that is often fatal. The best way to deal with heartworm is by preventing your dog from contracting it in the first place with a preventative medication obtained from your vet. 🏥

🐾 Support Class 🐾
We spent last week working on leash manners and introductions to other people and dogs in a public setting.
Lots of distractions surround our group of Graduates as owners learn how to control the leash and establish a positive environment for their dogs and the dogs around them!
Stressful outings with your pup melt away as we perfect the calming games and show our families how to keep their dog’s attention and still socialize with manners on a leash.
We love seeing our Alumni at our Free Support Sessions! This opportunity to apply training in real-life settings is what it’s all about!
🐾 Puppy Socials are the best time of the week!
No more tangled leashes for Pancake and Syrup after their Jumpstart Board and Train! 😜
Place with Grace, and with “grace” and poise, this quick learner has come a long way from where she started! We are over the moon with the complete change in her focus and engagement with her family. Her confidence has absolutely soared throughout her 8 weeks of training.
This rock star was already a good girl, now she’s an amazing girl! We’re very proud of these folks and all the hard work they’ve put in! 💜💙🐾

Ranger has been rockin and rollin through his classes, and today he’s nailing his “Down” command. We even mixed in another dog for a distraction and he didn’t budge!

A full place session with Ranger in 30 seconds! 🏎️
This good boy is staying with us for a short while over his 14-day Board and Train. He’s already nailin it! Way to go, Ranger Ray!
His face at the end is so cute! We took Finley to Nightfall to practice his stuff for his Follow Up Lesson following his Board and Train session. Finley was rockin his obedience, dad just needed a bit more confidence.
Sometimes learning to trust your pup and drop the leash is the biggest hurdle to jump when a newly trained dog goes home. Finley proved to dad that he can ignore distractions no matter what! We are so proud of these two for the deeper bond they’ve begun to develop.
We would love to help your dog get here too! Whether in classes or a board and train, we can help you achieve your goals!

Rubi is a sweet Doberman who needed some better structure and obedience so her family could manage her. She is nailing her obedience like a champ 💪🏼
Rubi is so smart, and she loves to learn with her family! Watch her off leash heel lesson. Her walks are going to be much easier from now on! Whether she’s on the leash or not, she’s focused on dad and walking calmly by his side.
Way to go Rubi! You make us proud every week!

Finley is picking up his obedience so well over his 14-day board and train! This little guy is 4 days in on his session and already we are seeing some off-leash reliability! Today’s work was an introduction to the TENS-collar.
Finley is your typical adolescent golden retriever, full of energy and sweet as pie. Already his state of mind has made a drastic improvement and we have over a week to clean up and proof before he goes back home.
We are rooting for you Finley! We can’t wait to show you off to your family 😍

John Hayes
Franchise Owner & Trainer
Born and raised in Chickamauga, GA, John Hayes was born into a family with working breed dogs. His interest in studying dog behavior began at a young age, with his grandfather’s dog “Pep”, who had a close bond with John. Pep was a border collie who did not allow certain people to get near John, and John wanted to know why.
John Hayes’ dog training career over the last 10 years has blossomed from hobbyist training into various facets of the dog training community professionally. Aside from his strides helping families train their pets in obedience professionally, his time spent researching canine behavior and competition obedience provided the opportunity to begin service dog work.
John was a member of a team in Knoxville who helped train the world’s first Addison’s Disease Alert dog. John has since gone on to train Therapy Dogs, PTSD Service Dogs, Emotional Support Animals, Police K9 Narcotic and Paraphernalia Detection dogs, Diabetic Alert, Psychiatric Alert and Support, Mobility and Autism support, and SAR dogs. He is also one of a limited number of trainers certified to train cancer detection dogs through the InSitu Foundation.
John is an IACP Professional member, certified with the AKC for Canine Good Citizen. He is an AKC Judge, and the Chattanooga AKC Fit Dogs Club owner. He’s certified to perform evaluations through Therapy Pets Unlimited, and Canine First Aid and CPR.
