Back tracking to July 1st! Tess is a black Labradoodle. She lives 4 campsites away from me at Lone Pine Campground. She unfortunately isn’t going to be with us after camping season ends. Her owners are work-campers and need to move on to their next endeavor somewhere warmer.. but.. we are having a total blast while she’s with us! She’s a super exuberant dog, and a bit nutty… so she fits right in 😄This was her second day hiking with us, but her first without her owner! Oh the life of an off leash dog 🙌🏻

Brick was adopted on November 4th of 2015 from All Breed Rescue. Brick Approved originated during my short career as a Realtor. Brick was my co-pilot in selling properties (mostly condos, but some homes as well) within associations that allowed dogs. I was the pet specialist on our team. I knew which properties allowed dogs, and how many were allowed to each unit. I also knew which associations were breed specific. Homes that allowed dogs were dubbed “Brick Approved”. From there the name started to stick everywhere. Anything that was cool to do with dogs became Brick Approved. We had Brick Approved beaches, dining venues, hiking trails, etc.
I began training Brick about a month after his adoption and fell in love with training him. Through his training I was exposed to a whole new world of hiking dogs and full time dog life. A few months after his adoption, I invested everything I had into furthering my education and Brick Approved K9 Performance was built. Everyone deserves a well behaved dog and for their dog to be social and have dog friends. Training your dogs was all about getting Brick Approved!
My training in the last four years has evolved from teaching basic Obedience to Behavior Modification using balanced training methods. I run an Off Leash camp. I also offer Socials for puppies and dogs needing a bit more confidence around other well balanced dogs. Board & Train programs and general boarding for your dogs in our home is also a huge part of our business. My passion is with my pack and with the dogs I work with at All Breed Rescue. I am one of the staff trainers at All Breed Rescue where Brick was adopted. I work with the dogs while they are with us in the kennel and help integrate them into their new homes after adoption. Working with difficult dogs is the most rewarding part of my business but seeing every dog, no matter from rescue or breeder thrive at home is the best feeling ever, especially when they can run free with the pack!
As our business evolved, our name did too! Brick has been a big focus during our first four years of business. He held a big position with his name being the main part of the business. He has helped many dogs trust again. He has been that only friend to several dogs that came to me with fear aggression. As our pack grew, and R***r came into our lives, ALL of our dogs began to help. In one way or another each of these dogs has been a part in training every dog that has been in this home through our programs. I felt like all of our dogs should be included as part of our success, so we became VT Alpine Dog. Brick is happy in his retired life. He loves being just a dog and everyone’s friend. VT Alpine Dog will continue to tell a story far into our future! We can’t wait to continue helping your dogs become successful as an Alpine Dog!
