We all make mistakes, especially when navigating the pressure of sport work.

If your dog gets distracted, loses focus, or has a messy run, that's just part of the process. I'm never going to judge you for that. 🐾
.. if you are skipping the fundamentals, ignoring your own body language, or blaming your dog for a handling error... that's where we need to stop and hold up a mirror.

Our dogs are a reflection of the clarity we provide. 🪞

If you want a flawlessly dialed-in partner on the field, it starts with holding ourselves to a higher standard.

What's a handler habit you're actively trying to break right now? Let me know below! 👇🏽

May, June and now July! ☀️
Boy is time really flying by this year.

Ginger, our fox red Labrador, graduated from a 3 week custom B+T relearning basic obedience, building confidence and pairing those skills with e collar conditioning! She has now joined my summer adventure club and is utilizing all that she’s learned three days a week to continue consistency.

Bella, the precious Bernese Mountain Dog, also recently graduated from my Puppy Jump Start B+T program. She came to me with all the usual puppy behaviors and left with a solid foundation to continue building on.

Daisy, the Bernadoodle, is still with us for her puppy program and graduates Monday! She is really enjoying learning about marker words and release words and figuring out just what gets her what she wants! She was exhibiting signs of her fear period upon arrival but we are building confidence daily and encouraging her through this staple time of her life.

Puppies are every dog trainers favorite, generally speaking, they come a blank slate and are so eager to learn during that sensitive period! Though mostly very similar, they all present their different challenges keeping work exciting and forcing me to think outside of the box 💜🐾

After a much needed month off in February, we just wrapped up our March board and train students stay! 🥳

Congratulations, Honey Bunny!🍯🐰

This sweet 6 month old Labrador retriever exhibited typical lab behavior of jumping, counter surfing, eating things she shouldn’t and pulling on the leash. Over the last two weeks she has built a new foundation to a structured life brick by brick and I am so proud of the progress that was made. 🐾

Look forward to seeing this girl around in the future 🩵

New year, new graduates!
Join us in congratulating our January B+T Boudreaux 🎓🩵

This 5 month old Catahoula Leopard Dog went from thinking home was his jungle gym and he enjoyed jumping into people's legs, counter surfing, trash diving, and pretending to be a sled dog when on leash (you know all the usual unruly puppy behaviors)!To focusing on building a calm state of mind around food, understanding how to relax and be okay with doing ~nothing ~ and understanding basic obedience while building confidence outside of the home.

Catahoula’s are a unique breed and not for every one! They are known for their high intelligence, intense energy, and "velcro" nature, often exhibiting unique quirks like vocalizing (baying/barking), intense staring ("guardy" behavior), and a stubborn, independent streak. They are highly loyal, often leaning on their owners for comfort, yet they can be aloof with strangers and require firm, consistent training.
You can learn more about them here - https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/catahoula-leopard-dog/

Once we had B in the right headspace and convinced this whole learning thing was fun, he was able to master his obedience skills including but not limited to Down/Stay with Distractions, Manners with People, Loose Leash Walking, Threshold Manners, Leave it, Drop it and Switch, Place and more!

He was a humbling client dog that made me work outside of my box and I can't wait to see get him back for a refresher to continue his e collar skills soon! 🐾

Merry Christmas from us to you!

Featuring this years holiday boarders Remi, Jordy, Wednesday and Willie ♥️🎅🏽

Yes! We are still in business 🤪
I have been blessed to be so booked out I admittedly started slacking on maintaining social media thanks to YOU all. 💜🐾

For new inquiring clients, I am currently booking through February. At this time I am offering in home board and trains, boarding to past clients only, adventures, private lessons and limited workshops.

Join me in congratulating, Remy, our most recent board and train graduate! 🎓

Remy joined our program as a cautious, shy girl! A wild bucking bronco who had never been on leash, a Sarah McLachlan commercial during bath time and cooperative care, a puppy who sought out avoidance over connection and over the last three weeks she has blossomed into the sweetest, loving girly!

Her owner decided to extend her stay an additional week and it was much needed. Remy has grown much more confident, finds value in humans and is eager to work and learn. She now walks very nicely and auto-sits on leash, knows her basics very well, can hang out on place, and is great at practicing her skills in public too!
Congratulations Remy & Kendra! ⭐️
