This past week, a very dear, close friend and pack member lost her father to a mean, evil, unfair, terminal illness. He fought an incredible battle & left this world a much better place due to his big heart, beautiful spirit, & kind & generous soul. It’s no surprise that Courtney lives life with those same traits.

Courtney was Chili’s freedom ticket off the euthanasia list & out of the shelter. She was his first foster & would have undoubtedly been his last if her dad didn’t become sick during the time she had him; but life happens and she had to tend to other important things, such as her father & his canine companion, Chase.

Courtney taught Chili more in his 3 weeks with her than he’s learned in his entire life. He learned crate training isn’t as bad as he thought even though he preferred free range, he learned how to be around other dogs, he learned how to walk on a leash, he learned how to settle in public, & he undoubtedly learned Courtney was his guardian angel.

Unfortunately Chili had a couple of trial runs that just didn’t work out, and we’ve been waiting for his person ever since. He’s been in foster for over 5 months with his amazing foster, Laura (his second guardian angel), who also happens to be an amazing trainer. We’ve been waiting for an application for months but still…none came.

Courtney’s dad, Bob, passed away just last week. I received a text from Laura….yesterday. Her mom wants to adopt Chili.

You may not believe in a higher power, in heaven, or in signs from above like I do. But you certainly can’t tell me Bob didn’t have something to do with this.

Not only has he decided to dedicate to SWB in lieu of flowers, but he has connected the stars so Chili could find his person. Bob, we all wish you were still here, but Lord do you have some serious pull up in heaven! You aren’t only Courtney’s guardian angel, but you’re Chili’s, too.

Courtney, we love you. Thank you for being you. My life and all the dogs’ lives who are lucky enough to cross paths with you are so much better because of you.

Rest in the sweetest heaven, Bob! Heaven is damn lucky to have you.

Have you always dreamt of off leash life for your dog? At TWB we believe all dogs should be off leash trained for the simple fact that they deserve to RUN! They deserve to experience the woods, the beach, the off leash trails, etc.

Sign up for our two day workshop to be one step closer to off leash life for your dog. Our e-collar programs also help the more insecure, nervous, and reactive dogs develop more trust in their handler and environment as well as builds their confidence which in turn will enhance their lives 💚

Sign up for a working spot which includes real life training for your dog, a mini educator e-collar, and a TWB 10ft slip lead. Just interested in learning more? Audit spots available as well! Link below.

Helping dogs was the motive. Building community was the prize.

Although my mission to help as many people and dogs as possible continues, my priorities have shifted. Becoming a new mom to my son, the most precious gift from God, has truly opened up my eyes to what’s important in life…and that is being the best mother I can be.

Social media is no longer as important as it once was. Fighting battles that people know nothing about is no longer worth sharing the truth over. Overfilling every group class every weekend is no longer a must. Answering to every person who has something to say is no longer a necessity.

My heart is full every day simply by looking down at my beautiful boy. There is nothing more I need.

explained this industry best in one of his latest posts. And unless you’ve been around for awhile, you probably won’t know what he’s referring to. As toxic as it can be at times, don’t ever forget to ever forget your purpose. Hold on to your integrity, provide a safe environment for those who seek it, and don’t let anyone make you forget who you are, why you started, or how much good you bring.

Community doesn’t only save dogs’ lives. It saves people’s lives, too.

Although our website is not yet updated, I wanted to make an official post that we are now offering structured boarding, day boarding, and more In Home dates!! Please read below for basic info on both services. Please email for all boarding scheduling/questions🩵
[email protected]

• Boarding your dog happens in OUR HOMES and not at our facility. During their stay, your dog will be attending school on school days, getting daily walks and outings, enjoying off leash time (esp if e-collar trained through us), all while continuing their training that you’ve worked so hard for! We like to view our structured boarding services as mini board and trains, as all of the dogs in our care will continue to receive the structure and training they need all while having the fun and play they deserve.

• Have a wedding, baby shower, or party to attend? Or do you just want to get out for the day but you can’t because your dog needs you? Fret no more! On days of the week where we don’t have school, we are now offering Day Boards which allows you to drop your dog off at one of our houses for the day to get the exercise and fulfillment they need.

• Having trouble with your dog in their own environment? In Home sessions will be more readily available to those who are already established pack members and live within a 15 mile radius to The Den, North Andover, OR to Manchester, NH. In Homes can be booked via the app. If the dates available do not work for you, feel free to shoot me an email to discuss other potential options.

We know what it’s like to go away and be anxious about leaving your dog somewhere that either may not follow your rules and continue the training you’ve worked so hard on, or simply may not give your dog the fulfillment they need every day; so we hope to be able to give you some relief with our boarding options.

We also know what it’s like to have your dog come and crush class but then go home and act a fool, so let us come to you to work through real life encounters. Invest in the training now so you can live a more relaxed, stress free, and enjoyable life with your dog. They’re not here for long, so let’s enjoy them while they are 💚

✨ Foster To Adopt Trial ✨
*MEDICALLY CLEARED AND READY TO FIND HIS FOREVER😍*

Travis didn’t get the best diagnosis when he first got to us — Doctors believed he needed surgery to fix some physeal abnormalities such as carpal valgus deformity. However, instead of jumping into surgery, we let nature take its course and after about a month of watching him grow, he went in for a second set of x-rays that showed….no indication of elbow incongruence, physeal disease or gross evidence of elbow dysplasia. Previous valgus deformity may have been a result of ligamentous laxity that has since resolved, and our boy is HEALTHY AND READY to find his peeps!!

Trav is about 5 months old, walks great on leash, is perfectly crate trained, does great with other dogs, loves people, is super confident, loves to learn, is incredibly playful, and has no problem cuddling up to you and making you feel like the most special person in the world. He has an incredible foundation thanks to his amazing foster parents and he can’t wait to show his forever family how well trained he is at such a young age!

If Travis could be the one for you or someone you may know, please fill out an adoption application so we can see if the stars align. We have all fallen completely in love with this boy and couldn’t be happier his bones and ligaments grew appropriately into his growing body 💚 Now, let’s get Travis HOME!
