Fifi completed her 3 week training!
She was a rock start and learned so quickly. She definitely gained confidence outside of the house and showed that with guidance she is so willing! I enjoyed working with her and can’t wait to see her thrive back home.

Let’s talk about Tucker! What a rewarding dog he was. Tucker came to the program lacking a lot of confidence. He knew using his teeth could get him out of situations (he has quite the bite history). He HATED the muzzle and the nail trimmer! It took him 2 weeks to finally open up and full accept me. Once he did, he had major growth!

We are so proud of him working through his fears. Every time we worked him through he came out stronger!

His biggest training goals were:
Muzzle trained ✅
Confidence building ✅
Better handling ✅

Tucker picked up his obedience skills quickly and that gave us more time to focus on what truly mattered for him and his owners!

Good Job Tucker! What a good boy he is!

Teaching Beau an automatic sit on our walk.

There are 3 requirements before doing this!
1. Your dog must understand the verbal sit command.
2. Your dog must know how to turn off the continuous pressure of the E-collar.
3. Your dog must know how to release the pressure of the slip.

Now let get to work!

Beau is still practicing his leash skills. In this session we were at a park. I noticed he was rather pushy and distracted. That tells me that the next session we do this needs to be a little less distracting. This will help him focus and pick up this skill a lot faster!

Stay tuned for more of Beau!

Hello! What have we been up to this last month you ask? Well dog related… not much. We have had some of our regular boarding clients but we have been taking some me time…. But that’s not to say we aren’t working 😉 Back in October, I rescued 2 abused horses and have put a little focus to getting them the attention they deserve!
We are back at it and have wonderful news!
I am working on an ebook! This ebook will hopefully be available soon and be the first of many!
This first one will be the puppy handbook!
All things puppy to help guide you before and after you bring your new best friend home!!!!
I can’t wait to launch it and help more people build a lasting relationship with their furry babies!

Please enjoy a few before and after pictures of my rescue horses. They have come so far in a few short months!

Update!
I’ve been a little MIA. We have been just busy busy busy.
We took a family vacation to Hawaii, then when we got back, I ended up hauling to Texas to get two rescue horses… Mean while my Foster dog Niki found her forever home in Colorado!
This weekend we had a crew of some awesome pups, and we got a new foster dog. (Stay tuned for his introduction)

Here are some pictures of the awesome dogs we’ve have the last few weeks! And also the horses I went and rescued. Feel free to reach out for boarding or training!

Running around at the farm is always a fun day!

Look how happy Cooper is hanging out while I get Farm chores done.
