Welcome to the world, Solo 💛

We’re so excited to finally introduce Solo the one and only pup from our Nikita x Nash litter.

Breeding, like life, doesn’t always go the way we picture it. Kita only had two pups, and one was stillborn. Moments like that never get easier, and they’re a powerful reminder that no matter how much we plan and prepare, God is the one truly in control.

Life is such a fragile, beautiful blessing. Every healthy pup, every little heartbeat, feels like a miracle, and we don’t take them for granted.

We’re so thankful that there were no complications and that Kita is doing amazing! She’s happy, healthy, and totally rocking it as a new mama. Solo is thriving right alongside her, already full of personality and s***k.

Welcome, Solo. You were worth every bit of the wait, and we can’t wait to see all you become 💛

Just the other night I walked in the door to my Dutch shepherd’s Ruffland turned 90 degrees and in the middle of my living room floor

I told my dad about it and was like why on earth???

He had a full day of exercise and usually just naps once he’s crated

His response was “We can ask why but we can’t dwell on it because we’ll probably never know” 😂

As a dog trainer I spend 99% of my time asking why. Why the dog acted a certain way, why a certain situation caused a specific reaction, why the dog had that thought…

The whys are endless, so sometimes, for our own sanity, we just have to accept what we don’t understand and move on 😂

To all the owners and trainers that try so hard to answer all the why’s but also know that sometimes saying “it is what it is” is an answer in itself … I see you and if you find all the answers please let me know asap

Idk why everyone thinks my dog is so scary… *sees this Ahhhhhh… nvm

The greatest stress reliever there is: playing with your dog

At the end of a long day, it’s not a chore to play with Maya but a reminder of why I do what I do. It resets me for the next day and reminds me the things I can achieve with patient consistency.

Our Foundation

It all started with the love of a dog. A bond which could not be broken between a boy and his loyal companion. What began as a childhood affection, grew into an adult obsession. Steve realized his passion and potential when he purchased his first German Shepherd and began looking for an activity to do together to increase the bond and to give the dog a purpose. Through his 20+ years of learning and growing, he has helped countless owners decrease their frustration and increase a stronger bond with their four legged family member. What began as an affection, has become a passion in helping others with his God-given talents. Let us show you how to achieve a better relationship with your dog.
