Group class tonight took over the bookstore and coffee shop! ☕📚🐾

Our dogs worked through real-world distractions at Barnes & Noble and the Starbucks Café while focusing on engagement, leash manners, confidence, and staying connected to their handlers.

Training isn't just about what happens in a classroom. It's about teaching dogs how to make good decisions in the places you actually go every day. From people walking by, shopping carts, coffee smells, conversations, and all the excitement that comes with a busy public environment, the dogs did an awesome job working through it all.

Every outing is another opportunity to build confidence, communication, and reliability with your dog.

Want to join us for future group classes, private lessons, day training, or board and train programs?

With Amber Erickson getting sick again. Jennifer Hasty Johnson is going to step up and run group classes in pekin again. Until momma beat is back to 100% we will be taking it very light on the schedule. Private lessons with amber will likely be 2 weeks out. Sean will pick up any and all lessons that she can't handle in Peoria.

Thank you for hanging with us.

Yesterday was our first scheduled day off in years, and I couldn't have imagined a better way to spend it.

I got to spend the day with my kids and a couple of our dogs on our old family property. The property has since been sold, but thankfully the current owners were kind enough to let us come back and enjoy a day of fishing.

It was special being able to stand in the same spot where I learned to fish with my uncle, in the same waters that generations of my family have enjoyed before me.

We ended the day with 14 fish, about a pound of fillets, and memories that no one can ever take away. Sometimes it's not about the catch—it's about slowing down long enough to appreciate where you came from and who you're sharing it with.

Days like this remind me what really matters. ❤️🎣🐾
