Happy Monday!

We hope everyone had an amazing thanksgiving. We are back open and back to our regular schedule.

There is limited availability left for Paws and Claus Santa photos so if you want some super cute photos of your pup with Santa then head over and book a time slot before they are all gone.

We have a few packwalks left for the year, which will all be AM walks on Sundays. We will have the 2026 schedule posted very soon.

Another year in business and another year why we keep doing it!!!!

We say it over and over again, that we are in the dog training business because we love dogs and want to better their lives and help you have a better relationship with your pup. We don't do it to become rich or wealthy, it's to see you enjoy having a dog again and that smile on your face when you come to training because it's enjoyable.

This is the third year we have been nominated for Parma's best and the past two years we received gold. This year you guys showed us you were not messing around. You went big and got that Platinum.

This award and the previous years awards are for the people as always. It's a true testament to us as trainers that you guys are putting in the work and becoming better dog parents for your pups and giving them the best they could have.

Mr. Archie has been coming in for some enrichment/play time with mom to burn off some energy with all this cold Ohio weather we have had. Today mom worked to teach something a little extra for him to work his brain.

We had such a blast this past weekend for the set of photos for Paws and Claus. All the dogs did amazing, we had lots of repeat and a handful of new dogs.

Thank you to everyone who came out, also everyone who participated in the raffle baskets. If you missed out or would like to get tickets you can stop by the training center and grab some just give us a call to find out when we are there.

We also set up our client appreciation/ holiday lunch-potluck event. So head over to our events section and if you are free and want to come hang out, talk training, share some good food and laughs then come on out.

Anyone that got photos that is also interested in having some enhanced or edited please let us know. We mentioned it to most of you during the session but want you to know it's available. These are some examples of edits that took only a few minutes.

You guys are so excited for Santa photos this year that you just about sold out the first set of days available. So we have added 3 more days for you guys to book and get these amazing photos in before the holidays Dec. 6th, 13th and 20th.

Anyone who has attended any of the previous year's knows that this is more than just photos with your dogs and kids, it's a whole event. We decorate the whole training center to look like a Christmas wonderland, and it will be even bigger and better this year with the new space. We have an elf station with coco and cookies for the kiddos and us adults that like to indulge.

We also have a raffle basket station full of goodies you could win for everyone, kids, adults and the pups.

If you have a local business and would like to showcase it during out events and on this ad, then please reach out to us about donating a raffle basket in your businesses name. We will have around 100 scheduled in person photo shoots where people will see the basket and we can put out some of your business information out with it. Along with this advertisement that will reach over 3,000 people in the local area.
