āœØIn Need of Home āœØ

We personally trained her and loved her from the get go! We have a session with whomever adopts her so they can keep up with her training.

Maya is a very sweet and playful bulldog/pit mix. She is 2 year old spayed female who loves to snuggle and sleep on your pillow any chance she gets! She has been through basic training, is house trained and does well with kids 9+. She loves playing with other dogs but does best with males. She is an amazing companion and will be a great addition to any home.

The Importance of Playtime for Your Pup

Playtime isnā€™t just fun for your dogā€”itā€™s essential for their overall health and happiness. Hereā€™s why making time to play with your pup matters:

šŸ¾ Physical Health

ā€¢ Play helps your dog stay active, maintaining a healthy weight and reducing the risk of obesity-related issues like joint problems or diabetes.
ā€¢ It improves cardiovascular health and strengthens muscles, keeping your pup fit and agile.

šŸ¾ Mental Stimulation

ā€¢ Dogs are intelligent creatures that thrive on mental challenges. Playtime exercises their brain, preventing boredom and destructive behaviors.
ā€¢ Interactive games like fetch or puzzle toys help keep their minds sharp and engaged.

šŸ¾ Emotional Well-Being

ā€¢ Play strengthens the bond between you and your dog, building trust and companionship.
ā€¢ It reduces stress and anxiety, giving your pup an outlet for their energy and emotions.

šŸ¾ Social Skills

ā€¢ Play with other dogs or humans helps your pup learn communication skills, boundaries, and appropriate behavior.
ā€¢ Itā€™s especially important for puppies, teaching them how to interact confidently with others.

šŸ¾ Energy Release

ā€¢ Regular play helps channel their natural energy into positive activities, preventing restless or destructive tendencies.

Ideas for Play:

ā€¢ Fetch: Great for physical and mental stimulation.
ā€¢ Tug-of-War: Builds strength and reinforces boundaries.
ā€¢ Hide and Seek: Engages their natural hunting instincts.
ā€¢ Interactive Toys: Keep them mentally challenged.

Investing time in play doesnā€™t just make your dog happyā€”it leads to a healthier, more balanced pup. Playtime is quality time, so grab a ball, a squeaky toy, or even just your playful energy, and enjoy every wagging tail moment!

Dogs love sticks for several reasonsā€”part instinct, part fun, and part practicality! Hereā€™s why ā€œstick is lifeā€ for dogs:
1. Natural Instinct: Sticks resemble bones, which dogs are hardwired to chew on for both entertainment and survival instincts. The texture and shape of a stick make it irresistible.
2. Chewing Pleasure: Chewing on sticks satisfies a dogā€™s need to gnaw, which helps them relieve stress, clean their teeth, and release pent-up energy.
3. Interactive Fun: Sticks are everywhere, making them the ultimate natural toy. Theyā€™re perfect for games like fetch, which combines chasing, grabbing, and bonding with their favorite humans.
4. Exploration: Dogs experience the world through their mouths. Picking up a stick allows them to explore its texture, weight, and even taste, keeping their curious minds engaged.
5. Pack Mentality: Carrying a stick might make a dog feel proud, like theyā€™ve ā€œconqueredā€ a trophy to bring back to their pack (you!).

For dogs, sticks arenā€™t just toysā€”theyā€™re treasure, adventure, and joy all rolled into one. Truly, ā€œstick is life!ā€

Training your dog isnā€™t just about commandsā€”itā€™s about building trust and understanding through consistent actions.

Dogs thrive when they know what to expect, and consistency helps reinforce good behavior and discourage unwanted habits.

By staying consistent, you set your dog up for success, deepen your bond, and ensure a happy, well-behaved companion.

Remember: patience, positivity, and practice are the foundation of effective training!

My Experience

I did a lot of volunteer work at rescues and shelters by caring for the animals and training the dogs. I loved it so much that I opened my own 501c3 rescue called Eager Tails Dog Rescue. Any dog that was surrendered to my rescue went through my training program before being eligible for adoption. I would even pull dogs from the shelters that were on the euthanasia list as I was their final chance. This created remarkable success for the dogs in their new homes. Sadly, life became busy with work and the arrival of our new baby. Due to this, I discontinued the rescue. I felt broken about it as time went on. In the meantime, I got my best friend Enzo, the handsome Belgian Malinois in the photo. The dog behind our logo. We constantly trained in obedience and bite work. He was my pride and joy; my buddy. Suddenly, he fell sick at the young age of six months on my birthday. After x-rays, exploratory surgery, and blood tests, we found out he had parvo, despite having ALL his shots and he lost his battle. He is the reason I chose to do dog training full time. Everything I do will be in his memory.
