Vote for my girl Moxie!!! This sweet girl is the first service dog I helped train. She had already gone through her initial training, so I can’t take full credit for how amazing she is, but I learned so much about service dogs while working with her, and that experience has helped to shape me into the dog trainer I am today. She truly deserves this recognition as a HERO dog. So go vote! I’ll remind you everyday until the contest is over!!

Hello friends. I apologize I’ve been MIA for awhile. Life has been a bit busier than expected, and while I’ve been working, I haven’t had much time to post on here. But things should be settling down soon, so I wanted to get back to it! So here’s a video of Mr. Fozzie Bear in a sit stay. He’s doing so well, he was worried I’d leave him while he wasn’t allowed to move 😂. He is not tethered or physically restrained other than a long leash dragging behind him. But he is holding that stay and letting me know not to leave him there.

I’d like to introduce Ruckus! This sweet boy is looking for his forever home. We’ve been fostering him for about a month now, working to train him and get him ready for his new family. He’s an 11 month old lab/terrier/hound mix. He’s neutered and up to date on vaccinations.

Behavior: he’s the sweetest boy I think I’ve ever met. His downfall might be that he is so affectionate, he wants to be on your lap or pressed up against you at all times 😂❤️. But we’ve been working hard on teaching impulse control, self entertainment, and manners. He’s doing AMAZING 😍.

He was poorly potty trained as a young puppy, so we’re working toward bladder control. He’s amazing at asking to go outside, but he sometimes loses control with an overly full bladder or over-excitement. But he’s come such a long way, and I believe he will be 100% potty trained in no time! He kennels amazingly, and holds it for nearly 9-10 hours at night 🙌🙌!

In his early days here, he wanted to eat everything!! But I’m happy to say we’ve gone several weeks without him picking up something that isn’t his to chew on. Providing a plethora of solid chew toys is a must, because this boy LOVES to chew! But he has done an incredible job of learning the difference between his toys and other household items. And trust me, we have baby toys EVERYWHERE, so this is a huge accomplishment for him!

He is great with dogs of all breeds and sizes, good with cats, and great with children of any age. He adores our 20 month old son ❤️. Honestly, he loves just about everything and everyone! I think he will thrive in a home with other dogs or with children to play with him!

If you’re interested in adopting him, please PM me or comment below! I am happy to arrange play dates, meet and greets, etc.

I just want him to find a loving and active home! He’s got so much love to give and deserves the best family possible!! ❤️❤️

Basil might be one of the cutest students ever ❤️! And she has learned so much in just a few short weeks of training. Below are pictures of her learning to sit on the stairs when company comes, wait at the front and back door before rushing out, and sitting on place when guests are visiting or when mom and dad need to do things around the house! Even our youngest and tiniest pups can learn these basics!

Friends who “place” together, stay together 😍☺️. Kevin and Lucky are best friends, and love to do everything together!

Fozzie encountered some BIG distractions at the park the other day 🦬! Luckily he has a solid sit stay and a great recall. These commands are so important for building impulse control, and learning how to ignore major distractions. Such an important skill for creating a well rounded and calm dog ❤️

Learning to wait at open doors is a vital skill for both basic manners, and for safety! This sweet girl is doing such a great job waiting until she is released. ❤️
