Training should feel useful and fun ✨

Our Tricks, Games & Foundational Skills class is designed to help your dog build real-life skills in a way that keeps them engaged and excited to learn. We’ll work on practical foundation behaviors like focus, engagement, confidence, body awareness, and communication, then apply them through interactive games, enrichment-style exercises, and trick training.

This class is great for dogs of all ages and experience levels because exercises can be adjusted to meet your dog where they’re at. Whether you’re looking to strengthen everyday life skills, build your dog’s confidence, or simply make training more enjoyable, this class blends functional training with fun in a supportive environment.

Plus, this is a drop-in class, making it perfect for busy pet parents who can’t commit to a multi-week course. Life gets hectic, and we wanted to create something flexible where you can join when it works for your schedule without feeling behind or locked into a 5-week commitment.

Come train, play, and build skills you’ll actually use in everyday life 💜

Puppy Skills Drop-In Class

Puppy Skills Drop-In is a flexible, structured class focused on real-life skills.

We work on the things that actually matter day to day. Staying focused around distractions, keeping all four paws on the floor, ignoring food on the ground, walking nicely on a leash, and learning how to settle.

Each class covers the same core concepts, just practiced in different ways so your puppy learns how to apply them in new environments and situations. We are building skills that stick, not just ones that work in one setting.

This is not a play class. Puppies will be working individually with their owners to build focus, confidence, and self-control around other dogs without direct interaction.

Training should be fun, but it should also make everyday life easier. This drop-in class blends trick training, interactive games, and foundational skills to help your dog build focus, confidence, and real-world reliability.

Each class includes guided instruction where we introduce and practice a mix of 3–4 skills, tricks, or games. Exercises are designed to be practical, engaging, and adaptable to different experience levels, so you and your dog can jump in at any time without feeling behind.

This class is ideal for improving engagement, strengthening communication, and giving your dog a productive mental outlet in a structured environment.

For those interested, many of the skills taught in class can be applied toward AKC Trick Dog titles, with testing opportunities available.

Life With a Teenage Dog

Adolescence is where a lot of dogs start to feel like they’ve “forgotten” everything they learned as a puppy.

The reality is, they haven’t forgotten it. They’re just learning how to function in a world that suddenly feels more exciting, more distracting, and a lot harder to tune into you in.

This 5-week class is designed for exactly that stage.

We focus on the skills that actually matter in real life: engagement, leash walking, recall, impulse control, settling, and learning how to navigate distractions without losing connection to you.

Each week builds on the last so you’re not just practicing in a controlled space, you’re learning how to apply it when life gets messy, loud, and unpredictable.
If your dog feels like they’ve hit that “what happened to you?” phase… this is the structure that helps bring things back together.

If your dog struggles to stay focused around distractions, you are not alone. I would love to help you build that clarity and connection together! 💜

Aspen turns 2 🐾🤍

It feels like we’ve been together so much longer than two years… and still, a lifetime will never be enough.

I don’t think I truly understood the depth of love you can feel for an animal until her. She has shaped me in more ways than I can count and continues to influence who I am every day as a dog owner, trainer, friend, and family member.

She teaches me something new all the time, but most importantly, she’s taught me how to find the good in everything.

She came into my life at exactly the right moment, and I will always be grateful to have her by my side 🤍

Happy National Pet Day from the girls… maybe in the new space 👀

I’ve been dreaming about this for so long, and it still doesn’t feel real. I cannot wait to welcome your dogs in, build their confidence, and give them a space that’s truly set up for them to succeed.

Doors open May 1st 💜

You never want to leave your wedding day with an “I wish.”

When it comes to pet care, it is not about forcing your dog into the day. It is about giving them the support they need so they can be part of the celebration in a calm, safe, and happy way.

That is exactly why our Pups Plus One service exists. To handle the details, the timing, and the care, so you never have to choose between including your pet and actually enjoying your wedding day.

As we head into 2026, I wanted to share a reminder of the services we offer for couples who consider their pets family and want them included with intention, not stress.

Because the best wedding days feel full, thoughtful, and complete.
