Reward-based, low-conflict training, boarding and pet-sitting My passion for dogs began long ago, as a youngster, training and showing dogs in the 4H program.

As an adult, I have used those skills, along with skills gained from many courses and seminars, to modify the problem behaviors of many dogs as well as create good habits and teach wanted behaviors. My approach is reward-based, positive reinforcement, and I stay as conflict-free as possible. I want training to be fun and rewarding for both you, and your dog! I am located in Maxwell. I travel with

in the Des Moines and Ames areas, within 40 miles of Maxwell. I charge per mile outside of that radius. Areas I can help with:

Human reactivity/aggression
Dog reactivity/aggression
Resource guarding
Separation anxiety
Muzzle training and proper muzzle fit and use
Potty training
Crate training
Basic obedience
Loose-leash walking

I also offer limited boarding and board and train services. Reach out to me at [email protected] for more information!

You all might remember our friend Bam Bam, from MidAmerica Rottweiler Rescue…

This is a picture of our happy boy in his new home!

He was adopted by a man who understood BamBam‘s continued training needs, his strengths and weaknesses, and who appreciated his goofy and bubbly personality!

He has a new canine sister, and he is absolutely loving his new life.

We would like to think that we were able to help him on his journey, and although we miss him, we could not be happier for this big guy!!

Congratulations on your forever home, Bam Bam! Good boy. ❤️ 🐾

We had a first-time guest this weekend- this little fluff is DC dog Daisy!

Daisy is 5 months old and although she’s very social (and VERY cute!!) we were careful to make sure that she was matched with dogs who would complement her play style and reciprocate play well so she only had positive experiences at this stage of her development.

A dog her age who has a negative experience with another dog can have behavioral fallout which can sometimes be permanent, and we definitely want to avoid that.

DC’s own Dammit Dale was the perfect first companion for little Miss, reading her body language well and backing off when needed. She is a little shy at first with new dogs so he did a great job of lowering his energy by laying down and letting her lead the way with interactions. They were up and wrestling and playing tag in no time!

DC’s sanctuary boy Bandit and DC dog Maze all smiles on their walk!!

You may remember that Maze has containment and separation anxiety, and is a master escape artist.

Huskies by nature have an innate need to travel and wander, and this often gets them into trouble! So to make sure we were meeting those needs for Maze, we made sure she got a long-line walk each day with plenty of things to sniff and see. This resulted in a much happier Maze who was able to settle in her kennel much more easily!

We do our very best to make sure each dog who stays with us gets the individualized care they need ❤️

Handsome DC dog Mick was one of our guests this weekend! He enjoyed playing King of the Hill on our new bench in the play yard!

Grateful and thankful today and every day for our freedom, knowing the cost at which it came. 🇺🇸

To those who serve, have served, or who gave their lives for our country…. Thank you!! 🐾

(Pic of DC’s own Dale, while checking out the Story County Freedom Rock. For those who may not know, there is one in every Iowa county, definitely worth seeing!)

DC dog Maze is a special girl!! She is a master escape artist and loves a good ole’ husky-style freedom run!! We take special precautions to keep her safe here. She is the sweetest soul and loves to talk! And those EYES…. 😍
