The Dog Spots

12/01/2023

Hey everyone! I recently got back from a little Vacation and we took the dogs along! One of our stops was White Sands New Mexico. If you didn’t know White Sands is dog friendly and absolutely stunning to see. A highly recommended Dog Spot 😉

Our pack has now become 3 😞 and my heart is broken once again. 💔

Yesterday we had to say good bye to our Lucy girl. Unknown to us she unfortunately had bone cancer and by the time she showed symptoms it had spread internally.

It started with a mild limp a couple weeks ago so we made her an appointment to see the vet. We tested for common desert diseases as she had all the symptoms of valley fever. As we waited for the results she began to decline so my gut told me it wasn’t good news. I had never wished harder for a valley fever test to be positive but, Sure enough the results came back negative for valley fever . At this point we moved forward with X-rays which reveled multiple masses in her bones, lungs and other random small spots. The Cancer had already spread throughout her body.

Lucy has always been rough and tumble so I am not surprised that she masked it for so long.

We got Lucy when she was 6months old from the shelter about 11 years ago now. At the time we just had Sheila and Bologna and I was only about a year into becoming a dog trainer. Paul (my husband) always grew up with bully breeds and new he wanted to adopt one once he got out of the military. At the time Sheila was a handful and I thought it was a bit soon to add another dog to our group but Paul felt it was better to ask for forgiveness than permission and went to she shelter one day while I was at work. He had went to see another dog but Lucy was there happy, wiggly and locked eyes with him and he knew she was the one and he was right. She fit in immediately.

From day one Lucy has been sweet, spunky and incredibly cute with her permanent puppy looks. Her favorite things to do was to roll in the mudd and lay on the couch. She like the others has helped with rehabbing numerous training dogs as well as lived a life of adventures. She will be greatly missed! I know Bologna and Munchie will be there waiting for her on the other side.

We will miss you. Your personality was something special.

Snakes are still out y’all. I was in a session working on trail manners the other day when we came across these two. One rule I have is to bring your dogs in close to you when you come to a blind corner. This is one of the many reasons why. You don’t know what could be around on the other side. Thankfully it was a cold morning so they were not very active yet. See if you can spot them in the first photo before looking at the second.

Hardware store are a great place to take your dog especially during the hotter times of the year. There is plenty of distractions and generally nice wide isles. While most hardware stores allow dogs don’t forget to check with each store individually.

I hate to post such ads news with this being such a new page but It is with an extremely heavy hart that I am sharing the Passing of Bologna. He is the little guy in our logo so I thought it important to share. He was one of the biggest adventure dogs I knew. He passed peacefully with with my husband and I by his side. He truly was such a special dog. His personality could only be summed up and described as A vibe. You could only really appreciate what I mean if you met him which plenty of you have. I am extremely saddened at his passing and feel as though I have lost a piece of myself as he has been with us nearly half our lives.

Bologna came in to my husbands and my life nearly 16 and a half years ago when I was only 16years old. He was a puppy in someone’s back yard and he was covered in ticks. When we went to go see him we just couldn’t leave him there. A few days later he came down with Parvo but in true Bologna nature he pulled through! He has always been such a tough fearless little guy.

Bologna lived a very full and adventurous life. He lived more life than most people. He went with us everywhere including over seas. We would take him, off roading, camping, he road with us on motorcycles (with him safely in a pack of course), and of course there were plenty of road trips.

There is so much more that I could say but I find my self at a loss for words. He was such a huge part of our lives and his presence is going to be missed beyond words. However he has left us with a lot of amazing memories that we are so thankful for.

has some really cool murals to take photos. With. It’s also a great place to train with your dog because there is plenty of space as well as plenty of distractions. 📸 dog training.

Hello everyone! I am super excited to have started this page! Being a local dog trainer and owner of I was inspired to start this page to highlight dog friendly locations primarily in Tucson and the surrounding places so people can get out and do things with their dogs. I would also like to use this space as a spot to encourage people to get out and do things with their dogs if they aren’t already. While I am a trainer this will not be a training page and more about the local dog community. This page will show different people which may be using various training tools from harnesses to Ecollars and any hateful comments towards anyone will not be tolerated. I can not wait to get to know all of you! Please feel free to submit your dogs in the local community if you would like to be highlighted on this page!
