I love working with is guy!!!

This is Goose, he is a 2 year old Belgian Malinois, German Shepard cross. This guy I has been a joy to work with. He is incredibly smart and he loves to learn. His family’s goals are for him to become a replacement service dog.

Goose is a very friendly dog and has never met a stranger. So we worked a lot on impulse control. Siting and laying down beside other dogs and not greating them. This was very hard for him but he picked up on what I wanted very quickly. He is going to do great things.

Stay tuned for more on Goose!

Say hello to Grace!

Grace is a 1 year old mix. Her family brought her to me for basic manners and basic training. Getting to know Grace has been a ball of fun! She is extremely intelligent and has a lot of energy. Grace came for a 10 day training session.

During these lessons she learned sit, down, stay, place, heal on a lose lead and basic manners. Keep up the good work Grace!

Let me know if you are interested in taking classes with me or signing up for a day stay.

Say hello to Bear! Bear is on his way to becoming an ESA dog. Bears’s family puts a lot of work into training him. He knew his basic commands. How to quickly calm down in stressful situations.

Bear’s family was looking for someone to bring him to the next level. While bear was with me, I learned that one of his main struggles was impulse control. He loved acting on impulse to go see people, dogs, kids, chase cats etc…

We worked on siting and waiting for people to come up to him. Sitting or laying down while other dogs walked past or even just laid down next to him. This can be very hard for dogs and at first it was very difficult for Bear. However, bear quickly came to love doing these exercises. Sitting and waiting at a distance from me in the stores and walking past yipping dogs. This little guy came far in such a short time and I am immensely proud of him. He learned off leash work, and some service dog work as well.

Afterwards his family took a couple lessons with me to learn how to better communicate with Bear. This team is going to go far! Keep up the good work!

Winkie, one of my resent day stays came to me for reactivity to people. She would bark, growl and nip at people that would walk past her or try to interact with her. Here she is at Home Depot, calmly waking through the store past many people. I am so proud of this girl. She came so far in the short time I had her and I loved working with her.

Thanks to Winkie’s fantastic family, she was able to get the help she needed. Winkie keep up the good work!

Say Hello to Lucy!!! Lucy came to us for a 6 day day stay for basic manners. She struggled with impulse control, calmly meeting people and dogs, walking on a lose lead, basic manners and more. During her lessons we went over all of this and I am so proud of her. She has been a joy to work with and I loved seeing her transition from a dog with anxiety to a sweet heart with confidence. Good job Lucy you have wonderful parents keep up the good work!

Recently I have had a lot of people asking me questions about what the difference is between a Service dog, Therapy Dog and Emotional Support Dog. It is important to know the laws surrounding your working dog. So I found a little graphic to help everyone.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I am so thankful for these girls. They are the sweetest and I am truly blessed to have them. Truly blessed to be able to do what I love.

Rue is our newest member in training and we have been working on a lot of different things. On her third day here, we started learning retrieve

Teaching a pup to retrieve can be very helpful later in life. It is the basics of learning certain tasks. Such as picking up dropped objects. Retrieve can also be paired with other training to practice impulse control.

Sadie found her forever home a few weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier for her. She will be dearly missed ❤️. It’s crazy to think of where she came from and where she is headed. I took a few pictures of her last week with me. She went to Home Depot for the first time and we practiced tuck.

Tuck is a service dog move that is important to learn in order to make room for people to navigate smaller areas such as doctors offices, waiting rooms etc…. Sadie won’t be a service dog, just a very sweet family pet, but teaching different tricks is beneficial for the brain. Keeping a dog constantly learning and having fun builds a foundation of focus and enjoyment not only for her family but for Sadie as well.

Congratulations to Sadie’s family!

Went for a ride with the girls and Sargent Tibbs!

When you have a good relationship with your dogs, not only will they follow you but, they want to, and enjoy going with you.

Maisy, Sangria and Tibbs had a blast going out for a fun trail ride this weekend. Stay tuned for videos.

Love these girls! ❤️

We went to Murdocks for a quick shopping spree and stopped to get a picture. Several shoppers 🛍 stoped to watch 👀 these girls work.

Later, while we were waiting in line patiently we had a couple dogs 🐕 trying to drag their handlers to my girls. They did so good. Completely ignored the the other dogs. ❤️
