Puppy training with Uno! 🐾
At just 3½ months old, this is the perfect time to start building the foundation.

Puppy training isn’t about expecting perfection or drilling obedience—it’s about teaching them how to learn.

We’re working on engagement, following direction, leash pressure, place work, impulse control and, most importantly, building confidence and trust.

Those little lessons now become the communication you’ll rely on when that cute little puppy turns into a strong, opinionated adult dog.

Start early. Keep it clear. Keep it fun. Build the relationship first. ❤️

The show must go on…

It’s been a strange couple of weeks—filled with challenges, changes, and moments that have required me to find my footing a little differently.

But through it all, one thing remains constant: helping dogs and their humans.
Sometimes continuing to do what you love and what gives you purpose is exactly what keeps you moving forward.

It’s real-world exposure.
It’s distractions.
It’s neutrality.
It’s confidence building.

Dogs learn how to exist calmly around other dogs.
Owners learn how to handle their dogs with clarity and confidence in public.
And together, we strengthen communication under pressure.

The Square gives us everything — movement, noise, people, smells, unpredictability. And that’s where growth happens.

So… we’re back at it this Saturday

Looking forward to seeing familiar faces, wagging tails, and getting back to doing what I love—helping people build better relationships with their dogs.

Life has a way of changing course, whether we’re ready for it or not.

The past few months have brought a lot of change, added responsibilities, and emotions to navigate. After losing three of my own dogs in such a short period of time, and then recently losing my ex-husband, Jose—someone I shared ten years of my life, many dogs, a business, memories, and an incredible chapter with—life has certainly looked different.

With his passing came another change: welcoming back several of the dogs who were once ours.
And somehow, through all of that loss, my little world has gotten a bit fuller again.

Some familiar faces have returned, new friendships have formed, old friendships have found their way back, and I’m learning to adjust to a life that looks a little different than it did before.

Loss and change have a way of putting life into perspective. Through all of it, I’ve been reminded just how grateful I am for the people—both new and old—who have quietly stepped in, checked on me, helped with the dogs, tried to make me smile, or simply been there and continue to be there for me and the dogs we shared.

In times like this, you sure find out who truly care about you and those that cared about Jose.

Life doesn’t always take us down the road we thought we’d be traveling. Sometimes pieces of our past find their way back to us while new people and new beginnings appear along the way.

It’s a chapter I never imagined I’d be writing, but I’m trying to embrace it one day—and one dog—at a time.

Rest easy, Jose. ❤️

Videos 1,2, and 3 doing the work, how it started and how it’s going.

Making some excellent progress with leash reactivity.

I love watching the progress happen.

A properly conditioned dog, with the help of remote collar can completely change the conversation between dog and handler.

It can help bring tension down, create clearer communication, and give the handler the confidence to lead instead of constantly battling the leash.

Private lessons with Arrow and her mom, and these two are making excellent progress! Arrow is learning what’s expected, while Mom is becoming more confident in how she communicates and leads—and that confidence travels right down the leash.

Less tension. More clarity. More confidence.

Abbie is over here drooling for the treat while Kayley is putting in the work, practicing those down-stays. These two staycation girls always make me smile. 🐾❤️

With some life changes happening lately and processing some extremely heartbreaking news of the loss of a very special person, and feeling a little overwhelmed… jeesh, I completely forgot to post that Bentley & Shiloh checked in for a couple of days!

These two are no strangers to the Ranch — they’re regular staycation guests AND training alumni, so having them here always feels like welcoming old friends back home.

Sometimes life gets busy and posts get missed, but these two certainly didn’t miss out on the love. ❤️
Always good to have you back, Bentley & Shiloh!

New Staycation Guests! 🐾
Abbie & Kayley have officially checked in for their very first staycation!
I’ve known these sweet girls for many years, which makes having them here even more special. I also know just how much their mom and dad love them — and how much they worry when it comes to leaving their girls in someone else’s care.
So, thank you for trusting me with your special girls. I know how much they mean to you, and I don’t take that trust lightly.
Welcome to the Ranch, Abbie & Kayley! Time to settle in and enjoy your staycation.
