I’ve been battling a clogged toilet at the office for the past week. As a small business owner—and someone who likes to DIY whenever possible (thanks, YouTube!)—I was determined to fix it myself. After multiple trips to Home Depot, trying every type of unclogging solution, and even buying a 3-ft toilet auger that refused to go more than 6–7 inches before getting stuck, I was officially at my wits’ end.

I finally called a local handyman. He tried his own auger with no luck, so the next step was to remove the toilet completely. And once we did… we found the culprit jammed in the trap: a dog bone. Smh. No idea how that even got in there 🤷‍♂️

Now that we knew what caused the clog, the question was: how do we get it out? We brainstormed a bunch of ideas, but nothing seemed workable because of where the bone was lodged. Then I finally thought of using our small but powerful shop vac in reverse to try to push the toy back out—and it WORKED!

Woohoo! Problem fixed….now back to training!...

I took Logs to the laundromat the other day to wash some dog towels. On our way out, he saw a man and a dog looking through the free food pantry they have there, and he asked, “What are they doing, Dada?” I tried my best to explain that it’s a pantry where people can come to get food for free if they don’t have money to buy any. He had a hard time understanding why some people don’t have enough money for food.

Since we were heading to the store afterward to pick out a toy I had promised him, I asked if he would like to buy some food to put in the pantry. He lit up like a kid on Christmas morning. I couldn’t be more proud of my sweet, caring, and helpful boy. ...

Out and about doing some neutrality and impulse-control training with the brothers. I couldn’t be more proud of these two and what we’ve accomplished in just a few short weeks. Big John and Ace have learned not only to enjoy playing with each other, but also to enjoy working together. We’re looking forward to Graduation Day tomorrow and transferring leadership back to their owners. 🎓🐾...

I just got an update from one of my clients, and it absolutely made my day! 🙏 Hearing about the progress they’re making, the BIG breakthroughs, and the confidence growing in both the dog and the owner - it’s the best reminder of why I do what I do. 💯

Moments like these motivate me to keep pushing forward, to keep learning, growing, and helping more people build that amazing connection with their dogs. 🐾...

Big welcome to our NEW Pro Board and Train students, Big John and Ace, to the 2K9 Dog Training Family!

👉Basic on and off leash obedience

👉Leash walking

👉Polite manners when greeting people

👉And most importantly a much needed “off switch” to give their humans (and each other!) a well-deserved break from the chaos 😄

Welcome, boys! Let’s get to work! 🐾...
