A little while ago, the amazing Lynda Graveline came to photograph my crew, and I asked her to help choose one image that truly captured what my school is all about. This is the one—and I couldn’t love it more.

Everything I wanted to say about training, connection, and trust is right here in this moment. Thank you, Lynda, for your talent, your eye, and your heart. You absolutely nailed it. 💙

What a great weekend! A huge thank you to Linda Barton for an absolutely fabulous job presenting at our seminar. Her clear, thoughtful teaching helped both dogs and handlers grow in confidence and skill. From foundation work to advanced skills, every session brought fresh insight and great energy.

We’re so lucky to have had the chance to learn from someone with such depth of experience and passion for the sport. Thank you, Linda — we hope to have you back again soon!

🎉 Congratulations to our Agility Foundations grads! 🐾🏆

This crew has been learning the building blocks of agility—confidence on equipment, focus in motion, and working as a team. We’ve seen awesome progress, lots of laughs, and some seriously impressive moments from these pups and their handlers!

The best part? This is just the beginning. If you’re ready to keep the momentum going, the next step is Agility 2, where we start putting those skills into more sequences and challenges. We can’t wait to see what you all do next!

Great work, everyone! 👏🐶💪

🎉 Another round of applause for our Basic Manners graduates! 🐶🎓

Over the past few weeks, this crew has been hard at work building better communication, stronger focus, and everyday skills that make life with a dog easier and more enjoyable. From sit-stays to recall and loose leash walking, we’ve seen so much growth—and a lot of wagging tails!

It’s been a fantastic group, and we’re excited to see where each of these teams goes next. Great work, everyone—you’ve laid a solid foundation!

🎓 Congratulations to our Basic Manners graduates! 🎉

This group of dogs and their dedicated humans have put in the work—learning skills like polite greetings, loose leash walking, reliable recalls, and more. It’s been a joy to watch the progress, the teamwork, and the confidence grow week after week.

Basic Manners is just the beginning, and we’re so proud of everything this class has accomplished. Keep training, keep connecting, and most importantly—keep having fun together!

Well done, everyone! 🐾👏
