These very scary ghosts would like you to help us plan our last class session of 2026!

I'm working on our November and December schedule, and with the holidays right around the corner, I'm thinking of mixing things up a little!

Timing-wise, It's a tight fit, but we'll have room for one 6-week class and a few 4-week classes to make things a little easier during the busy holiday season.

Here's what I'm considering:

6-WEEK CLASSES:

Level 1 Manners & Life Skills

4-WEEK CLASSES:

Puppy Kindergarten

Drop-In Rally

Intro to Rally

Intro to Scent Work

Now I need your help! Which of these would you actually be interested in signing up for?

Drop your picks in the comments, or send me a message if you'd rather! Your feedback will help me decide what makes it onto the schedule. Didn't see the class you've been waiting for? Tell us anyway!

📸 Glamour shot time! 📸

Do ya wanna see all the cuties in this session’s Level 1 and Puppy classes? I know you do!

“Kate, it’s week three! What’s taken so long?!” Well, I asked the Wednesday night class to remind me not to forget to take their pictures again and they didn’t. So blame them. 😜 It’s great when a class is so fun that you forget your social media duties!

Working with a reactive dog isn’t a quick sprint. It’s more like a slow, steady walk where the scenery changes one little win at a time. I wish I could tell my clients it only takes three sessions, or five, or some neat little number tied up with a bow. But the truth is, the timeline belongs to the dog. Their pace, their comfort, their nervous system.

It takes time.
It takes patience.
It takes understanding.

We’re not asking dogs to simply “stop barking.” We’re helping them rewrite their whole experience of the world so they don’t feel the need to respond that way anymore, all the while trusting their human to handle the situation.

Jess and Jim have been working with us on and off since early this year, and they are the definition of a committed team. Jim came in with some bad experiences. His reactions were big, loud, and honest. But Jess never once backed down from the work.

They’ve met every challenge we’ve thrown their way, so today we brought out the big guns. Enter Allie: my very sassy Schnauzer/Heeler mix who loves playing the role of “naughty dog” - maybe a little much. 😉 You might think she’s the reactive one in this video, but nope! She’s our chaos‑gremlin helper dog, here to make sure Jim can handle the real world, where not every dog is quiet, polite, or in a perfect heel.

As you can see, they did beautifully!

I’m so proud of how far this team has come, and even more excited to see how far they’ll go. Watching a dog (and human) learn to breathe again is one of the best parts of this job.
