This page is dedicated to provide content to help improve dog behavior and owner communication. I also offer in person and video training sessions.

Leah Will has been training and working with problem behavior dogs for over 20 years. She has a bachelors degree in Biomedical Sciences and has studied animal behavior, canine learning theory and human psychology. Leah has worked in and with several shelters and animal rescue organizations over the years, including Wishbone Pet Rescue/Allegan Animal Shelter, South West Michigan German Shepherd Rescue, Humane Society of West Michigan and Michiana Humane Society to name a few. She has also worked with Paws With A Cause as a field Representative. Even though Leah is not able to currently work with clients in person, she hopes this page will give dog owners quality resources to help with training and improving communication with their dogs. This page will also be used to highlight specific shelter dogs that are in need of a forever home.

Sharing the Go Fund Me for my Brother-in-law Cayce and his family. ALS is an awful disease. Watching such a wonderful person lose control over his body in such a short time is heartbreaking.

Feel free to share or donate.

Cayce was diagnosed with ALS just weeks after his 51st birthday, and it has been a heartbreaking journey for our family. This disease is stealing his ability to move, speak, and breathe, and the costs of his care are overwhelming. Cayce has always been a beacon of light, full of kindness, creativity, and determination. Now, he needs our help to cover the expenses for specialized equipment and home modifications that insurance won’t cover.

We are asking for your support to ease the financial burden on Cayce and his family. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference. Please like, comment, and share this post to help us reach more people who can contribute. Thank you for standing with us during this difficult time.

With gratitude,
The Will Family

It’s Hot Out! 🥵
Hope everyone can stay cool today in one way or another. Don’t forget that your pets need to be kept cool too!
We do lots of pools and and fans at our house.
- The dogs got there pools filled for some extra cooling off before hanging out in front of the fans. 🐾
- Horses are hosed off with fans on their stall doors. 🐴
- And I’m glad we live so close to Lake Huron. Enjoying a little lake breeze before heading back to the house. 🌊❤️

This girl is looking for a forever family.
🐾❤️🐾

Adoption Pending

Mikey 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰

Mikey is a 2 year old Great Dane that is looking for a home.
She is a good girl that has lived with other dogs and kids. She is apparently “playful” with cats.
She’s potty trained and crate trained.

Unfortunately, she is heartworm positive and currently undergoing treatment… but don’t let that deter you, she’s a great lady!

Come see her!

💕🐾 And Now there are 6! 🐾💕
Harold finally got to pick his own puppy. We had been on the lookout for the right fit pup for our house and this little lady was it.
Say Hello to the newest member of our pack. Calamari AKA Cali. She is a Chihuahua mix (probably some Doxie in there) 10 weeks old and such a fun and silly girl. We love her already. ❤️🐶

And a big Thank You to her Foster Family and Midwest Small Breed Rescue!
