💥💥 ANNOUNCEMENT 💥💥

I will be accepting 2 new board and trains beginning this week.
I am not permanently reopening but for the next 3 months I will be accepting clients.

We are officially closed.
It is with a heavy heart that we are closing shop. While we thank the hundreds of customers that have used our services and supported our small business, it is time for us to move onto a new chapter in our lives. We wish you all a great holiday season and hope you have a fantastic new year.

Sweet Cedar went home yesterday after completing our 3 week on leash obedience course.
We fell in love with her personality and her sweet demeanor.
While we will miss her. We do want to wish her and her family a happy thanksgiving 🦃🍁 and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

She’ll be home just in time for Thanksgiving 🦃🍽️

Please give her a welcome to the family!

Major goes home today after being with us for 6 weeks for an off leash board and train course.
He came to us with a lack of confidence and only knowing sit.
Today he goes home knowing all his commands (sit, down, stay, off, place, heel, come, and leave it)
and gained confidence in himself, as well as trust with his humans.
While I will miss him (and everyone at Merrills Detector Dog Services) I’m excited to see him grow with his owner.

Major is really excelling with his off leash skills 🥰
He loves his time down by the pond!

08/10/2023

Major has been growing his confidence levels and we are finally working on his off-leash skills.

19/09/2023

Please welcome Major!
He is our newest Board and Train that came for off-leash obedience.
He is such a sweet dog and I can’t wait to share his progress with everyone!

The time has come for us to move forward with our business.
Starting this week, we will no longer be offering doggie daycare or day-trains.

With that being said we have taken a step forward and I have accepted a job offer working for Merrills Detector Dog Services.
We have partnered together and will still be offering Board and Train Obedience at their location in Smithland.
I am very excited for this new chapter in our life, and we can’t wait to continue to serve our friends.
Here are some pictures from their litter of puppies who are now 9 weeks old 🥰

This!! ⬇️⬇️

I don’t personally know this young lady … but I had this sent to me a while back and I’ve shared it on several occasions What she’s talking about here can be broadly spread over and applied to all dog breeds
1. It states what I’ve preached forever …. We as trainers cannot do but so much with an inferior product …. Lacking drive and desires etc…. As well as mental issues that come from poor breedings
2. Normal folks can’t manage certain types of dogs and certain behaviors
3. If you want a good dog stop keeping those breeding mediocrity in business and wondering why they’re not the same as someone else’s pup from the same breed
4. If you’re not gonna work it at the level it demands then don’t let it waste away and/or be prepared to pay a trainer …. And just so you know … a few months at a trainer isn’t enough
5. Dog trainers can’t always work miracles on dogs that lack talent, or have genetic issues tied to their mental state…. Anxious, nervous, fearful, overly aggressive.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of our previous and current Dog moms 🐶❤️
