Hello Everyone 🤍

It’s with a heavy heart that I make this post.
As most of you know, I struggle a heart condition that has flared back up.
Because of this I need to take a step back from dog training.
I will still be offering group classes from time to time so keep an eye out on my socials!
I have loved working with each and every one of you and I am looking forward to what’s next in my journey 🤍🤍🤍

I don’t always steal the show, but when I do, it was my show to begin with

Update:
I’ll be home Tuesday night! Probably take Wednesday off (jet lag) then I’ll get everyone started back up on their sessions and open up my booking!

I’ll have to fly back down for a procedure but I’m not sure when yet 🤍
In the meantime, we’ll get some puppers learning!

Hey everyone!
I’m heading to the Mayo Clinic today to@figure out what the heck’s to do about my heart!
Thank you to everyone who has been flexible, and sent me love and prayers! My heart is touched!
Hopefully we’ll figure it out so I can get back to teaching your babies the best manners!

Responsible Dog Parenting:
Keeping your dog on a recall line until they have a good recall!!
- I suggest longer lengths: 30-50ft
- Attach recall lines to a harness and not collar, that way if you have to stop them quickly, or if they snag on something, they don’t get choked out
- Ensure the line does not wrap around one of their legs, or yours!
- Start with giving them a little room on the line, then slowly increasing as they respond to your commands! Eventually you can drop the line and let them drag it

Be safe, and be responsible!
