There has been a change of plans, sorry to say. The facility I thought I had secured fell thru.

Please give The Happy Dog Lodge a call for your traing, doggy day care, grooming and boarding needs. 763-689-1379. Sara Brueske is an amazing, certified trainer!

I am delighted to announce that 2 Ears Up has a new location to hold classes! It's been a long time coming, but I believe I have found the perfect place.

I am partnering with the Country Pup Kennels in Princeton. This is a beautiful new facility that offers both doggy daycare and kenneling.

AKC Puppy Star Class will begin Monday, May 5th at 6:00 PM

Obedience Training will begin Tuesday, May 6th at 6:00 PM

You can sign up for class either through 2 Ears Up, or through Country Pup Kennels.

Payment in full due upon arrival for the first class.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. I am looking forward to helping you and your pup achieve success.

Take advantage of our mild weather and get outside with your pup! Go for a walk, toss the ball or practice basic obedience. Please remember to wash all if the salt from their paws!

Now that we have the real MN winter weather showing up, there are a few things to keep in mind.
The salt and chemicals put out to make it easier for us, can be harmful to your dog if ingested. Please wash your pup's paws when you bring them in. Make sure to clean between the pads also. Or, you can put some very stylish booties on their feet.
If you notice your pup is lifting his paw off the ground, or if he has stopped walking or playing, his feet are too cold. Dogs can get frostbite in the winter just like they can burn the pads in the summer. Please bring them indoors immediately.
Most importantly, give lots of tummy rubs, ear scratches and love.

Merry Christmas to all the puppers and thier families.
A few things to keep in mind as families and friends gather to celebrate.
Dogs, especially puppies are curious, and will happily investigate your trees, presents and lights. Please make sure they do not eat ribbons and packages, or chew the lights. These things can cause intestinal blockages, or give them an electrical shocks.
Keep in mind, just like us, sometimes they need a break from the happy chaos of gatherings. Please give them time in their kennels somewhere quiet.
Remember, if you have questions about something they ate, go to the ASPCA website. They list foods that dogs should not eat, and what to do if your dog does ingest them.

From Tali, Aggie and me, we wish you a peaceful Christmas season filled with joy.

Every dog owner should be teaching tricks. Yes they are not used in the real world but it’s about more than the trick! Teaching something that allows the handler to bond with the dog is super important and unlocks engagement that helps your actual real world dog training. Teaching tricks also has no real pressure to succeed (so what if you take a long time to teach a weave) so that means the handler is more likely to be relaxed and more importantly fun to be around. Your dog realises this and now value in the handler is increased! How does that improve your real world obedience? Well a dog that sees more value in the handler can lead to: less reactivity, better leash skills, less distracted in public, better recall and the list goes on. Frankly if everyone had fun with their dog and taught them tricks there would be a lot less demand for dog trainers! So ditch the pressure for a month and have fun with your dog! You’ll wish you did it earlier!

Happy Halloween! Please remember to kennel or leash your dog today. They do not understand the costumes, and cannot fathom why so many people are knocking on the door.

As the seasons change, there are some changes at 2 Ears. The current space I am renting works well in the summer, but doesn't work for the winter. I cannot ask you to spend an hour outside in the cold to train your pup. I am looking for a space large enough to train in that is heated. Until I can secure a new space, I will be training private lessons only.
If you would like to schedule a lesson, please feel free to pm or text me.
If you know of a space that is about 30 x 30, is heated, and for rent, I would love to hear from you!
I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and hope we can get back to classes very soon.
