It’s been an amazing 4 years, and I am so thankful for those I have met along the way!

Too hot in the sun for Captain & Gussie today, so we worked on recall in the shade. We also did some food scatter in the grass, and a short break in the cool basement.

Change is coming!
This month has seen changes in my business already. I put a pause on day school, to focus more on individual training with the dogs.

Now next week I will be starting a PT job that circles back around to my roots… kennel work and horse care. Both things I have done years ago 😆. I’m excited to add this new adventure, which also has the possibility of turning into an opportunity for more learning.

I will still be offering private training, but will have very limited spots. I’m hoping to focus more on helping clients, and their dogs enjoy a life off leash…safely and responsibly!

I’m also thinking of offering a hybrid of dog camp/ day school once a week…stay tuned for more at a later date!

Change can be hard, but also pretty exciting! ❤️

Today is our last day of Day School for a bit.

Ri will be switching over to one-on-one sessions with me instead. So Captain, Gussie, and I will be working on their off leash skills, along with some socialization time with Sheldon & Ava.

This doesn’t mean I won’t have Day School again in the future. It’s just not what my clients need from me right now.
