We had a great duck opener weekend! Nothing better than sharing hunts with friends and family and seeing the dogs channel all their off-season training into the real thing.

We got out for a quick hunt tonight and made a little history—Tucker’s first duck hunt! 🐾🦆 Happy opener to all who are out enjoying it too. Cheers to a great season ahead!

Feeling extra grateful today. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Every time someone trusts me with their dog, it means the world — and I don’t take that lightly. I truly love what I do, and getting to work with such amazing dogs (and their people) is a privilege I’ll never stop appreciating.🫶🏼

Thank you to everyone who’s sent a dog my way — your trust fuels everything I do. 🙌🐾

The dogs and I are slowly shifting gears for the year - slowly, hence the duck call still on my lanyard!😆

We had such a fun evening hosting a group of awesome Girl Scouts at the kennel! 🐾✨

It’s so special sharing our love of all things dogs with the next generation!🥰

We were also grateful for the opportunity to gain more experience by running two additional dogs in started for FR Labs—both of whom also picked up passes this weekend!

Congratulations to these dogs and their owners!

We still have a few puppies available and looking for their forever homes! ✨ These pups are well on their way with socialization, crate training, and the foundation skills they’ll need to be wonderful companions — whether as a family dog or a future hunting partner.
