Everyone meet Barron 🐾❄️

Barron is a 5-month-old Malamute puppy who just wrapped up a 4-week lesson program and is now joining us for a 1 Week Board & Train. He’s already an awesome pup—smart, sweet, and full of that classic Malamute personality—but his parents want to be sure he’s getting the best possible foundation as he grows.

This week we’ll be polishing up his skills, building consistency, and setting both Barron and his family up for long-term success. Big puppy brain + strong foundation = a lifetime of wins. 💪🐶

We’re excited to have you with us, Barron!

📣 Welcome Suzie!

Say hello to Suzie, the adorable 6-month-old Cavalier/Bichon mix who’s joined us for training! 💕🐾

Suzie is a total sweetheart with endless energy. Her mom says she’s got a few quirks we’re ready to help her work through — like jumping and pawing for attention, barking at her own reflection, and turning every walk into a bit of a circus act. 😅

We can’t wait to help this little girl channel all that happy energy into good manners and confident behavior. Stay tuned for her progress! ✨

Say hi to Bailey, our 1-year-old German Shepherd who showed up with a big brain, a big heart, and just a little too much enthusiasm. 😅

She came to us with some anxiety, jumpy greetings, a mouth that likes to “help,” and an overall need for better manners. Bailey is already settling in and learning how to greet politely, stay calm, and channel that shepherd energy into good choices.

She’ll be all polished up and ready to go just in time for the holidays — the perfect gift to her family (and their sleeves). 🎁🐾

📅 We’re currently booking into January!
Be sure to get your pup on the schedule for Board & Trains and Private Lessons before those spots fill up.

🐾 Moose kicked off his 4 Week Basic Obedience Package yesterday!

He came in with a reputation for running off, indoor potty mistakes, and a serious prey drive toward cats — so we’ve got plenty to work on over the next month. This boy is ready for a fresh start! 😅✨

🌟 Welcome Lainey & Belle! 🌟

Say hello to Lainey, the 1-year-old Frenchie/Pug mix, and Belle, the 1-year-old Frenchie! These two come from the same family and are joining us for our One Week Board & Train program.

Both girls have big personalities and their own adorable quirks. They bark, they jump, they get very excited, and they’re a little anxious when encountering new things — but that’s exactly why they’re here. We’re going to channel that energy into confidence, structure, and solid obedience.

And even though school might’ve been canceled for everyone else today… ❄️
Lainey and Belle did not get a snow day! Training class was still very much in session. 😂🐾

We can’t wait to show you their progress! 💛🐶

✨ Welcome Mila! ✨

Say hello to Mila, the sweetest 5-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who just joined us for our One Week Program! This little lady is here to tighten up her obedience basics and work through some resource-guarding habits so she can feel more confident and balanced at home.

Mila may be small, but she’s got a big personality — and we’re excited to help her shine in all the best ways. 🐶💖
Let’s give her a warm welcome as she starts her training journey with us! 🐾🎉

📣 Welcome Duke!

This big sweetheart just joined us for our 8-week Aggression/Reactivity Program! Duke is a total lover with his people, but from a distance he definitely has his Cujo moments 😂

We’ll be focusing on solid obedience and using it to communicate with him when those reactive feelings show up. Excited to help this boy gain confidence and control! ❤️🐾

Stella and Rock holding a perfect down in the middle of a busy store 🐾💪
Stella (Meagan’s girl) is showing Rock — our 1-Week Board & Train superstar — how calm, confident dogs handle distractions like pros. Proud of these two!

🐾 Welcome Rock! 🐾

Meet Rock — a 10-month-old German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix who just joined us for his Board & Train program… and let’s just say his name fits him perfectly because this boy is a solid wild card. 😅💥

Rock lives with his dad, a disabled veteran, and our number one priority is making sure his obedience is solid and reliable so his dad can safely and confidently handle him. With a dog this powerful and this smart, clear communication and structure aren’t optional — they’re essential.

So where do we even start with this guy?
Well…
• He chews (as in… he literally ate an entire couch 💀🛋️)
• He jumps
• He barks
• He’s extremely mouthy
• He’s knocked his dad off balance
• Getting him into the car is a full-contact sport
• …and honestly, the list continues

BUT here’s the good news:
Rock is sweet-natured, eager, and doesn’t have any serious behavioral issues — he’s just a full-blown wild child who’s never been taught what to do with all that energy and drive. And that is exactly what we’re here for.

We’re excited to show Rock how capable he really is with the right structure, boundaries, and guidance. Stay tuned… this transformation is going to be a fun one. 💪🐾🔥
