Celebrating this sweet and spicy girls 2nd birthday today! She came to me as a rescue 18 months ago and never left. Her ability to handle anything I throw at her and willingness to participate in my shenanigans make her the perfect addition to our family!

Nutmeg and I recently had the honor of speaking to the staff GreenTree Animal Hospital about reactivity in dogs, and I have to say, Nutmeg was the perfect wing-dog - she helped the staff learn some doggone valuable pattern games to help owners and their pups. Contact us to see how we can help!

Happy National Dog Day! Missing Whiskey and Snickers this year, but definitely thinking of them and celebrating them every day! Trooper is the OG now and I would like to introduce the two newest dogs to the K9 Zen Family officially! Nutmeg and Cooper became an official part of the family this week! All my dogs have been from Toller Rescue Inc. Nutmeg is a pure bred Nova Scotian Duck Toller Retriever and Cooper is a pure bred Australian Shepherd ( this was a surprise when I got his DNA back!) You will be seeing more of them helping out with training!

Alright guys, big news from me! I’ve taken a step back from the Veterinary world to focus on dog training and some life balance! If you or anyone you know is looking for a trainer, send them my way! I’ll be offering private in home training, classes ( I just got approved to teach ACK classes) and also have my Day School program that incorporates small group socialization/play and 1:1 training. Would love to add in a day that’s half day puppy and half day senior dog for daycare, so if there’s any interest on that, reach out and let me know!
