$1 off 31 day on leash walk challenge!

Day 1

After my doctor appointment today Phantom and I took our one mile walk/stroll out at Moore Park

Remember, if you comment of a photo of your dog out on their walk for the day you will earn $1 dog off boarding (if your dog has attended bootcamp in the past) or $1 off a drop in Beginner or Advance class (available to everyone, not just bootcampers!)

This $1 off deal is also able to be directed towards phone consults as well.

You can earn up to $31 off if you post every day for the month of July! But no major commitment - the offer is still available even if you can’t post every day.

*Dogs must be on leash for the challenge*

Let’s do more with our dogs this summer 🐕

July’s 31 mile challenge

I’m going to be dedicating a mile a day minimum to walk my personal dogs throughout the month of July and post updates daily.

I will take a $1 off towards a day of boarding for any past bootcamp clients or a $1 a day off of a group class for any past bootcamp clients or non bootcamp clients if you’d like to participate as well. This will work on an honor system - just post a photo of your dog out on their walk in the comment section underneath the daily post

This means past bootcamp clients can earn up to a free day of boarding if they participate every day.

This also means anyone who’d like to attend a drop in beginner class (priced at $30) can earn up to a free class too or an advance training client can earn up to two free classes

The catch? Your dog will need to be on a leash for the mile.

Any non local friends are welcomed to join just for fun too

Lets do more with our dogs 🐕

We start tomorrow!

So sorry everyone, my responses are still very slow for new training inquiries. If you haven’t heard back from me by Wednesday please dont hesitate to reach out again.

Bootcampers are keeping me busy, I’ve had infusions again recently, and sadly Saturday I lost my beloved Pegasus suddenly due to underlining health issues.

She is going to be terribly missed and was such a wonderful dog.

Eight and a half years was not long enough with her.

She was my blue ribbon rally dog, my first dog I titled in obedience, one of my first dogs who competed in barn hunt, she was a wonderful outdoor explorer, she loved to hike, she was a water guppy at the river, and she was absolutely the sweetest and most engaged soul

Pegasus is the reason why I fell in love with the Cardigan breed

Please spend extra time with your pups every opportunity you can. Our time with them is never long enough

Hey everyone!

Yesterday I went in for infusions to assist with my auto immune disease, systemic scleroderma. Reno my service dog in training tagged along for my visit and did wonderful. Continuous months of training really does pay off over time.

On that note I will be closing my schedule for the rest of May when it comes to training with the exception of one day available for one on one sessions. All currently booked sessions will still take place like planned.

If you’d like to be added to my calendar I am available May 28th for two private sessions. The time slots for these sessions are at 3pm and 4pm both being $65 each and will take place at Moore Park prior to my last session scheduled at 5pm (already reserved)

These are the ONLY two spots open for the month of May. More sessions will be available beginning June 6th

I do have some availability for regular boarding on Memorial Day weekend still open for any past bootcampers as well.

Books are open for the months of June and July for new board and train dogs.

*I will be working on returning text messages, voicemails, and email the next few days*

Also - for anyone interested in another evening class who would like to attend a three week Beginner course? I am looking to start new evening classes mid June if we can get enough dogs enrolled.

As for our weekend drop in classes those will take place…

Beginner June 14th & 28th at Moore Park 11am ($30)

Advance June 15th & June 29th at Moore Park 11am ($15)

Happy training 🐕
