Here is a photo of Daisy, I am sure you all have heard about her. She is the one that turned me into a trainer.

Thank you in advance!

This is a must for animal professionals. I was fortunate enough to attend a live webinar while I was a student at the Academy for Dog Trainers.

Dr. Sara Davies is a veterinary behaviorist in the UK and has developed a course on phantom pregnancy—how to prevent it by following appropriate spay timing, and how to effectively address it when it occurs. Sara is an expert whose voice needs to be heard by all animal professionals.

This is a reminder to spend time with them. Their time with us is short and precious. Dani lost her battle with degenerative myelopathy (DM). It was peaceful and assisted at home. She was 14 and we had her for 12.5 of those years. That wasn’t long enough.

You may be in the thick of puppyhood or adolescents, it will pass. Continue to use force-free, non-adverse training methods. In the end, you will want to look back without regrets.

These are pictures of Dani and my Daisy, her daughter. Daisy also has DM. We brought in Dani with her litter of puppies when no rescue group would take them. They were scheduled to go to a shelter up north but we couldn’t let that happen. They are the reason that I’m a trainer.

We are seeking help locating a missing foster puppy who is the legal property of Rescue Network. Trey was last in the care of Inesha Jackson of Minneapolis, who provided false information on her foster application. She is currently claiming the puppy is lost, but we have reason to believe that may not be the case. Trey is about 4 months old and 25 pounds.

We are deeply concerned for Trey's safety and wellbeing, and we fear he may have been sold or placed elsewhere. A reward is being offered for his safe return—no questions asked.

Law enforcement has already visited the property connected to this situation, but both Inesha and Trey were not present at the time.

If you have any information about Trey’s whereabouts or unknowingly purchased or received him, please contact us immediately. Our sole concern is bringing him home safely.
Thank you for your help and support.
