I have always loved shortcake from the first time I met him at PC Pound Puppies and am thrilled at how far he’s come with his amazing foster mom Dorthy! Today she got him to roll over which is a huge accomplishment! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for him and when he finally finds his forever home he will come with a free beginner class so his new parents can learn all he knows.

20/05/2023

New classes start June 3rd and are booking up now, call or text today!

When we say all breeds welcome we mean it!

Great class for the beginners today with some really good progress. The intermediate class is doing great as well! Looking forward to week 4 and graduation next week!

07/05/2023

Shortcake wants everyone to know what a great job he is doing. His foster mom is putting in a lot of work with him and he’s learning so many new skills!

07/05/2023

So I really need a better way to remember to take pictures of the beginner class, I will remember next week. They are such a diverse group and doing great! Intermediate was a bit small this week but we made some great progress.

Shortcake! Shortcake, or shorty as he’s sometimes called, is back for intermediate. He’s doing so great learning to control his energy, and is picking up some tricks with his awesome foster mom!

29/04/2023

Week one is in the books! We had a great chat anoir pack leadership with the beginners and made some great progress with our returning champions in the intermediate class, including shortcake.

I can’t wait to get working with the beginners next week!

There’s a reason I tend to feature certain dogs in my posts like shortcake the pit or Rigby the rot. I do not now, nor do I ever plan to, have a breed restriction for group classes. Other places do and I understand and respect their decision but my classes will always be welcome to all. We do screen for aggressive behavior for safety but those conversations never end without being accepted as safe or referred to private lessons with an excellent trainer. I’m thrilled that this rounds beginner class includes a German Shepard, an ausie, a Newfoundland, and a Belgian Malinois. If you’d like to add to the variety, or just have one more happy shepard in the raptor phase, I’d love to have you.

22/04/2023

I’m thrilled to say that the intermediate class is fully booked and the beginner is half way there. I still have a few slots available for the 10am beginner class starting April 29. The next round won’t be tI’ll June so book now or miss out!

20/04/2023

I’m often asked what the beginner class includes or covers. Below is a list of what we cover in the beginner class, obviously we will also help with any other questions or issues you may have.

The intermediate class is booked but we still have room in the 10am beginner class. Call or text today to book your space.

18/04/2023

The next round is booking up, there’s only one spot left for the 11am intermediate class, if there is enough demand I may open up another intermediate.

The beginner is booking up as well but there are still spots. Call today to book your classes!

16/04/2023

Sign ups are now open for the next round of classes! The next round will start Saturday April 29. I’m happy to say we already have a few signed up for the intermediate level. Beginner will be at 10am and intermediate at 11am. Spaces are limited, sign up today!

15/04/2023

When I first met shortcake he was a hot mess out in the kennels at PC Pound Puppies. I’m glad to say that with some hard work from his foster mom he is a brand new dog. I’m thrilled to keep working with him in the intermediate level and can’t wait to see what this scoundrel learns next!

15/04/2023

It was another great graduation day, this time I even remembered the pictures! The beginner classes have come so far and I’m excited to have so many continuing to intermediate. A huge congratulations to David and Taylor for completing the AKC Canine good citizen certification with Rigby!

I can’t wait for the next round and some returning champs, classes begin April 29!

08/04/2023

Today shortcake and his giant ears learned to sit and lay down. We also worked on a new command, “easy”, to help keep him calm and combat some of his excitement. He’s doing so well with his foster home, if you’re interested contact PC pound puppies for more info!

08/04/2023

I once again forgot to take pictures of the 10am class but they all did great today. We learned sit, lay down, and down settle as well as practicing recalling a dog over distraction. Rigby is ready for his AKC Canine Good Citizen test in the advanced class. I can’t wait to see them all again for graduation next week.

The next round begins April 29th and will have all three levels available.

The last picture is our packs newest addition. Penny is a 10 week old golden retriever we have had for about 3 weeks now and she’s becoming a great addition to our pack.

02/04/2023

So if this dog looks familiar there’s a reason. Shortcake has his picture on my profile. He was my hands down favorite when I was volunteering with new life / pc pound puppies and if we hadn’t just had a baby I‘d have loved to take him home.

As fate would have it he found a great foster mom who recognized him on my profile and I was all too happy to have him in class.

He is available for adoption from pc pound puppies / new life and I will comp a beginner class to him and his forever family to make sure he has the best transition to his forever home he can.

02/04/2023

Some pics from yesterdays beginner and advanced classes. I missed the pictures from 10 am and will make up with more next week. It was so great getting to work with shortcake again, the pit. He is a wonderful pup who is available from pc pound puppies / new life. His wonderful fostermom has been putting in the hours with him and he is a whole new dog!

25/03/2023

No dogs on week one of beginner and I forgot to get a pic of the adorable scoundrel Rigby, advanced, so no dog pics this week. We did however discuss how to address problem barking.

Tune in next week for your weekly dose of cute pictures of strangers dogs. Untill then we have memes.

22/03/2023

Last call to book for the last round of $100 classes.

Classes start Saturday for beginner at opies doggie Playcare and salon!

20/03/2023

Sometimes you take off on a Sunday to help your mentor work a couple of 100lb dogs, because that’s what friends do!
