When the bakery calls to confirm our online order… surely 21 for a dog’s birthday cake was a typo.

Happy 21st to the queen of Hounding Around 🫶🏼

Tomorrow’s Socialization Walk is shaping up to be a good one!

Socialization can mean so many different things, and so many dogs can benefit from these walks. If your dog is reactive, overly excitable, shy, or a perfect bean - this walk is for you! We practice neutrality, confidence building, impulse control and emotional regulation through drills catered to the pups in attendance.

These walks are FREE and you have access to a trainer throughout. Bring all of your questions, related to socialization or otherwise!

⏰ Saturday January 18 at 10am
📍 Main City Park in Gresham, OR

I wish I filmed her maintaining her stay while three people walked up and started talking to her 🥹

That is the power of socialization and strong obedience. She knows that we do not greet people freely, and she knows a stay means stay.

Yesterday was a 💩 day. We kicked off adventures with a dog fight, and frankly, I was too grouchy to enjoy myself after that. I was disappointed, frustrated and embarrassed.

Here is your reminder that dogs are dogs. We can do our best, have success in our training, and yet, s**t can still hit the fan. You have to control what you can, and learn from what you cannot.

Protip: Save old treat/food bags to hold your pup’s smelly poops when there aren’t trash cans around. When we go play in the forest, this is the only way I can get home without suffocating from the poops of 13 dogs 💩

Frank is welcoming her 20th year as Mrs. Santa Paws and she is sleeping soundly ahead of the holidays, knowing the good pups will have .pdx for their holiday celebrations.

I am so grateful for all of the beautiful words everyone shared about their pups and co-dog parents in our giveaway.

Here is what our winner, , shared about her two nuggets: “As our first puppy, the lessons .of.the.cascades taught us as a shy, very skittish puppy were invaluable. Learning patience and how to best advocate for her set us on a path of fostering dogs and learning about dog body language and behavior, that I’ll forever be thankful for. That journey brought Winston into our lives and our home. They make such a great team! I love witnessing their love for each other ♥️”

So fortunate that Winston comes on adventures with us each week, and I get to see Ivy Rose at pickup and drop off 🥰

Thank you to everyone who participated!

Since there is more to be grateful for than can be expressed in one post, I’ll be sharing something I’m grateful for into next week.

Today, I’m feeling incredibly thankful for the heart of my business—you, my clients. Thank you for trusting me with your beloved dogs, welcoming me into your homes, and sharing your training journeys with me. It’s such an honor to be part of your lives and witness the progress, the milestones, and the beautiful bonds you create with your dogs.

Your referrals, reviews, and all of the shares, likes and comments on social media mean the world to me. They’ve helped my business grow, and they remind me every day of why I love what I do.

Thank you for showing up, for giving feedback, and for believing in me to guide you and your dogs. You’re the reason I can continue to do what I love, and I’m endlessly grateful for each and every one of you.

Y’all ever feel like it’s impossible to get a family group photo where everyone is actually looking at the camera and isn’t mid sentence?

Because same 😅
