★★★★★ "Bobbi-Lynn was absolutely wonderful in training our 2 puppies at the same time! To say we were a bit frazzled is an understatement. She was patient and gentle with the puppies, and gave us all of the information we needed to continue to make progress with the puppies!"

Have a fun and safe 4th everyone!

For the love of your dog, PLEASE get an ID tag before 4th of July! More dogs run away on the 4th than any other day of the year. It won't break the bank - I swear! Help them get back home.

It's HOT!
Please don't leave your dog(s) in your car. Your car will quickly become hotter than outdoors and your dog cannot pant heavy enough to keep cool.
Thank you in advance.

Hey Dog Owners! Did you know your pooch can overheat, just like humans can? 🥴🥵 Read on for prevention tips. They could save your pup's life! Some signs of it are heavy panting, moving slowly, or not at all, drooling and not eating or drinking. It’s quite easy to prevent heatstroke so with the temperatures rising, take heed to these suggestions: 1) Excercise your dog during the cooler hours of morning or evenings. 2) Keep an insulated container with tepid, not cold water in your vehicle(s). Yes, it’s to give your dog to drink, but read on for more reasons. 3) Should you be out and about with your dog wet the base of their neck and get the water down to skin level, not just the fur. This relieves the heat for them. 4) Dampen a towel or mat for your dog to lie on in your car. The towel will remain cool and prevent your dog from getting over-heated. 5) Do NOT use cold water for any of the above. Cool or room temperature water is best for heat exhaustion. Cold water can send them into shock. 6) If none of these suggestions help, get your dog to a veterinarian ASAP. It could save their life. 💗 7) Never EVER leave your dog inside your car! It is against the law to leave a dog inside a car. Even with windows cracked the temperature in the car will exceed the temperature outside rapidly and exceed the temperature in which your dog can survive. You're welcome.☺️

This 6-yr-old Newfie was not too old to learn new tricks! His petite owner can confidently take him on walks without the fear of pulling her down. ….and he loves my tug toy immensely! 💖

Brilliant! I’m adding this to my tool kit.

Hi Bonnie, So good to hear from you! Thank you for the high praise. It means a lot that you remember. Glad you had fun in class!

Sounds crazy, I know! By starting training now, you can have a well-behaved dog by the time the holidays roll around. Why wait to the last minute when the hustle-bustle is in full swing and you are up to your eyeballs with holiday fun? Trust me, you won't be sorry if you start training early. 🐕
Call today so we can see you soon!

This Gentle Giant runs like the wind when he's called. But he always stops on a dime so as not to bowl anyone over!

"Henry" began training at 3-months-old. He stole my heart from the beginning. You might catch him hanging around The IN Coast because he is the store's official mascot and takes his job very seriously! He is a love of a dog and a breeze to train! ❤️ Henry! Stop in and say hi to him. He loves people.

Happy Graduation to 17-week old "Bodhi"! He finished his training today with flying colors. Not only can Bodhi sit, down, stay, go to his bed, not chew things, come when he's called (even in an emergency), but he is fully potty trained, crate trained and 'heels' when he walks. I'd say he's an honor roll student! He and his owner were a pleasure to work with. 😍

Rocky goes to ball practice! 🥰

Tessie! She is a ball of energy. During her day training program Tessie learned to plop on her red 'Go to your spot' towel like like she was tackling a football in the Puppybowl - I mean, Superbowl! 💗

Congratulations to Ash! He just finished one of my training programs and he really rocked it! At a mere 5-months-old he can Sit, Down, Stay, Stand, Leave it, Come when he’s called, do tricks, including puppy push-ups, won’t bolt out the door and brings 100% joy to his owner every day! Did I mention he’s fully potty trained? ❤️

Weekend at Wolf Park! Females are in season so the howling was off the charts. Females longing for their mates and males howling in frustration. (Sounds a little like Teen Spirit). 😂

Great 2-Dune Challenge with 2-Husky Team! They did great pulling me up the dunes!

Huskies know how to appreciate a chilly winter day!

Heading to Wolf Park in Battleground, IN to learn about Conservation Detection Dogs - that's right. Dogs are detecting everything from invasive plants to evidence of endangered species. Pretty cool, for canine scent tracking geeks like me! 😍
Howling with the wolves at Howl Night will be the frosting on the cake. Can't wait!

Dog Day Afternoon at the beach! In November, no less!
