Big shout out to Tippet and Nikki, team Hard Deck, with Acadiana Up Dog at Mill Pond Kennels for going out on a limb and putting themselves out there today. They placed 2nd in Sky hounds World Qualifier event, for the game Time Trial, in Houston today. While only first place qualifies for worlds, it was a big win for the team who's never competed in Sky hounds. Congrats Tippet for making the next steps in his sport dog journey and rocking the field today!

Tomorrow is UpDog!!!

The holidays are coming. You know what makes a great gift to yourself?

A dog who actually listens.

Our Board & Train spots for November and December are filling up, and this is genuinely the best time of year to get ahead of it. Your dog comes to us, builds real habits over 4 to 8 weeks, and comes home a different dog — one who can actually be part of the family gathering without the chaos.

Puppies or adults. First-timers or dogs who've been a work-in-progress for a while. We've got you.

If you've been thinking about it, reach out now. Spots go fast once the holiday season hits.

We do this for faces like this one.

Watching a dog come into their own — and watching the relationship between a dog and their person change — never gets old. That's the real payoff of this work.

We're grateful for every family in Acadiana who has trusted us with their dog. And we're just getting started.

If you're local and you've been looking for a training program you can actually believe in, come out and see us. We'd love to talk through what's right for your dog.

This is what happens when a dog figures out they can.

We train obedience, but obedience is only the beginning. A dog with a solid foundation can do just about anything — including dock diving, disc sports, and whatever challenge you dream up next.

Our facility is home to NADD-sanctioned dock diving events and UpDog disc competitions. If your dog has energy to burn and you want somewhere to put it, we've got the space and the training to back it up.

Come check us out. We'll show you what your dog is capable of.

Every dog who walks through our door has a personality all their own.

Big, small, goofy, serious, stubborn, or eager — we've worked with all of them. And every single one responds when they're taught in a way that makes sense to them.

That's what we love about this work. There's no cookie-cutter approach here. We meet your dog where they are and build from there.

This one clearly had opinions about picture day.

This is what a good day looks like at Mill Pond.

Calm. Focused. Settled in.

Dogs in our Board & Train program live here with us full-time for the duration of their training. They have structure, routine, and a team that's with them every single day. That's how habits form — not from an hour a week, but from doing the right thing over and over until it becomes second nature.

Spots for our November and December Board & Train programs are starting to fill. If you've been thinking about it, now is a good time to reach out.
