Several times during my career as a canine handler, I was told by several different supervisors that I should consider putting down the leash and focus on promoting. It never made sense to me to turn my back on something I was passionate about to “ further my career”. Find what makes you happy. That thing that you are passionate about. And if you can make your career revolve around that passion, it’s always better than a bigger paycheck! Thank you for opening the door! Thanks for being a great partner and pushing me to be better! Thank you for loving the dogs that were always part of your world!! It’s been a wild ride so far!!

“Creature” is a dog with no home. He was found in a rental home by the landlord, after being abandoned by his owner. The landlord reached out to us and said he would pay for training to help get creature adopted. Creature is a large Cane Corso mix type dog. He is approximately four years old. We know that he has lived with another dog and cat prior to coming with us. The other dog and the cat have both been adopted. However, creature has no home. He can be reactive and he is extremely strong. We believe creature is best suited for an owner who has experience with large Cane Corso / Mastiff type breeds. He is not recommended for a first time, dog owner, and we believe that he should go to a home where the owner has worked with powerful breeds before. If you’re interested in creature, please reach out. We would love to help get this big guy adopted.

Does your dog like to chase squirrels, cats, or other perceived prey?? Does it make walks difficult? That prey drive isn’t going anywhere!! You can try and smash it with compulsion but the genetics are there! Find a positive replacement like a tug. But wait… won’t playing tug make my dog more likely to chase and bite things?? Nope, tug satiates a drive. This game gives a positive outlet for what’s already there

If you have one dog and you’re struggling with behavior and obedience, adding a second dog is rarely the answer. That being said, having two or more dogs in your home can be incredibly fulfilling and enjoyable, but it takes substantially more work! Having 2 High Dr. dogsincreases that workload even more. Before adding a second or third dog it is very important that you have your first dogs behavior where you want it to be.
