Thinking about a Board & Train program that actually changes your dog’s behavior?
I have GREAT news for you!

✨ I’m bringing back my in home Board & Train in 2026 ✨
As a trainer, I believe that any dog can learn if you set them up to succeed. That means clear rules, a solid schedule, and consistency. I train your dog how I train my dogs - their behavior and titles tell you exactly how my training works

Here’s what your investment includes:
🏅4-Week Program – $2500
• Sit
• Down
• Stay
• Take / Leave / Drop
• Leash Walking
• Recall
• Polite Greetings
• Crate Training

🏆 8-Week Program – $4000
Everything above plus:
• Heel work
• Place
• Manners in public
• Advanced recall
• Increased distance, duration & distraction on all skills

What makes my program different:
🐾 Your dog lives in my home, not a kennel facility
🐾 They learn from me + my own well-trained dogs
🐾 I accept only one Board & Train per month for maximum one-on-one time
🐾 Your dog becomes part of the household and learns real-life manners
🐾 Lifetime support — email me anytime with training questions + discounted refresh stays for returning boarders

Training can start as early as 8 weeks old! The earlier we lay a strong foundation, the better the future is with your dog!

Spread the word to your friends - spots will fill quickly!

Long time no post!
The dogs have been a little busy over here showing their new brother the ropes!

With our new addition comes a shift in what training I will be offering - I think this is something that many people need but aren’t sure where to start…

I will now be offering virtual training focused on dogs and kids! (No I won’t be training your toddler, but the same concepts apply 😉)

You won’t find my website anymore, since I’m going to be very selective about the clients I take on, but send me an email if you need help with your dog as you navigate parenthood!
We are all in this together and I know we can teach your dog (and you!) something useful and set fair boundaries for everyone!

From Valleys Dog Behaviour And Training

THIS IS A PSA

Puppies bite. They bite a lot. They bite hard. Their teeth are sharp. You might bleed. It might seem relentless.

Scaring the pants off them by yelling, pinning, shoving or shouting will not only do precisely zero, it will potentially create a fearful adult dog.

Puppies bite more when;
They are tired
They are hungry
They are bored
They are overstimulated
They are teething

Read that again. They bite MORE when they are the above. They will also bite when they are absolutely fine. They are dogs not dolls.

Be compassionate not scary. They will grow out of it but only if you teach them a good alternative. Trade for toys. Use a pen or a crate. Teach calmness. Reward gentle interactions. Grit your own teeth and ride it out while reinforcing good stuff and proactively managing bad stuff.

Be proactive when you know biting happens like after some play, when excitement goes up, when they are overtired (7-9pm witching hour anyone?) and give them a good chew or help them settle, or channel that energy into some training.

It does get better basically. Don’t panic. Most puppy biting isn’t aggression. Be CONSISTENT and PROACTIVE and expect more than a few bites along the way.

Sharing from another breeder who wrote a great explanation about the difference between a male and female dog. Please, remember it all depends on the individual puppy/dog’s personality. This is spoken in general terms:

Did you know there is a definite difference between a male dog and female dog?? Well, there truly is!

MALE vs. FEMALE: Does a male or a female make a better pet for you and your family?

It’s not uncommon for people to believe that a female dog will make a better pet. We get a lot of calls for people wanting that “special little girl”. For whatever reason they don’t think that females will exhibit “alpha” behaviors like hu***ng and/or marking. A lot of people think that females are more passive and friendly and that they don’t take part in fighting over dominance, which could NOT be farther from the truth. If you check out the structure of dog packs, the females determine the pecking order and rule the roost. The result of that behavior is that the females become more stubborn, independent, and territorial than the males. These females are much more intent on exercising their control by participating in that “alpha” behavior like hu***ng. Most fighting will usually break out between two females.

Males tend to be more affectionate, exuberant, attentive, and even more demanding of attention. The males are very attached to their owners, tending to be more dedicated, reliable and less temperamental. They are more sociable, more accepting of other pets, playful for years, and take quicker to children. Most boys are easily motivated by treats/food, words of praise and are so eager to please that training actually becomes easier. Their playful nature, however, can make males more easily distracted. The boys are more likely to act silly and more puppy-like, always wanting to play games, no matter what their age. The boys are fun-loving until the day they die, whereas girls tend to be more standoffish and dignified the older they get.

Neutered males rarely exhibit secondary sexual behavior such as marking and lifting their legs or hu***ng. Once the testosterone levels recede after neutering, most of these behaviors will disappear if they ever existed.

So before making your decision on that age old dilemma of male vs. female, hopefully this will give you some helpful info to think about.
