The cutest barks you'll ever see 🥹🥹

She was only 4.5 months here. Little rock star! ✨️🔥

Leaning to down whilst in a heel. Im so excited to see how she progresses. This girl is so smart. That heel is fantastic considering shes focused on a new command. We've really only worked on this a handful of times but wowza. It sticks. 😅😔
Stuff to clean up sure; but if I told you this was MAYBE our 15th time of luring this position would you believe me? 🤣

Big girls positions are coming in quite solidly. Those feet are GLUED. Even with her favorite kitty walking on by she stayed strong til released!!
Im genuinely so happy with this. Especially with her being my first sport puppy and only being 5.5 months. 🔥🔥

Heeling!
19 weeks of age. Yet looks like a grown beast! She is 46 lbs. Like. What. The. Hell.
Here our heeling progress in public at a park with a TON of stuff going on. Yet she is laser focused on me.

Its so nice to see the work paying off SO WELL.
Im so proud of us both tbh. Ive been dealing with ALOT of imposter syndrome ngl. Shes a big deal.. this is a huge opportunity and im SO excited but im also struggling with imposter syndrome & I've had it before slightly; but this is different.

Thankfully im working through it and recognizing it.
The proof is there. That really helps too.. 👌🏻✨️

This is such an INCREDIBLE journey. Thank you . This is a dream come true and the more we progress the more im just awestruck of this girl.

I truly have loved every moment of these two months with her.. I believe that's due to my husband's big involvement in helping take night shifts and letting me nap and keeping an eye on the monster so i can be rested and enjoy it. Its SO appreciated. 😭

🤷🏼‍♀️♥️

Working on our confirmation for the May trial! Shes looking so good! We really started putting time into it a week ago & im so happy with her.
At the park there were dogs, kids playing, a guy mowing & more!
Shes huge; but only 16 weeks. Just a baby.

We have a house full of shepherds (technically Mals are shepherds soo.. lol). 6 total. 4 boarding & our crazy pair! Lemm...

I always wonder why I’m muscular. I figure it out daily too. These things keep you in SHAPE. 😮‍💨😆

What a year 2025 was. Wow.

We accomplished SO much this last year and it’s only the beginning of our sport career. We grew, learned, overcame, and made so many incredible memories this past year. I met so many wonderful people that truly helped us succeed and I wouldn’t have been able to get to this point without them.

I had one of the hardest yet most inspiring years of my life. I’ve finally made progress on Dads death(4 years later), thought the only reason we were getting anywhere was the individual we had living with us; but once we kicked her out and I found out all the lies, rumors & things said about me it really messed me up for a bit.

We took a small break between our first trial and June; then absolutely KICKED it into gear. Got our first title on our own (with Eastons help; incredibly appreciative of him), finished 3/3 for passes on our titles.

I’ve made the most ever with my business this year & we’re on year 3.5. I’ve had some incredible success and clients who have truly done the work.

Started our homestead. Had 2 litters of buns. Tons of eggs. Grew some produce. Butchered our first rabbit and made AMAZING stew.

Our goals for 26’ include getting our MR2, starting the puppy, getting to bite work weekly(we normally go 2-3 times a week but I want to ensure it’s a goal), daily walks even around town, reading 10 pages a day, and putting more time into myself.

Puppy deposit set. MR2. Growth. Change. It’s all coming together. All in all it’s been such a great year. I cannot wait to see what 2026 brings. 🤍
