Need for speed? 🏁

If your dog loves to run like the wind, this one’s for you.

Join us this Saturday in Bush for AKC Fast CAT — a fun, beginner-friendly event where your dog gets to chase a lure in a straight 100-yard dash.

No fancy training, no pressure — just pure joy and adrenaline.
✨ Give your dog a safe outlet to get those zoomies out
🐕 Build confidence through structured fun
🎖️ Earn AKC points (or just do fun runs for bragging rights!)

📍 23456 Chat Blanc Lane, Bush, LA 70431

🕙 We’ll be out there starting at 10 AM to help anyone who wants to give it a try.

💸 $10 per fun run — no AKC registration required!

Whether your dog’s a sprinter, a floofer, or somewhere in between — come see how fast they really are.

🐾 If you’ve stopped learning, you’ve stopped leading. 🐾

Dog training isn’t a destination — it’s a craft.
And crafts require sharpening.

Doing things the way they were done 20 years ago isn’t leading.
It’s coasting.
Whether it’s for our dogs or for ourselves.

We limit who we can help when we cling to old habits
and call it “experience.”

So when you’re looking for help for you and your dog,
what are you actually looking for?

The ones seeking out continuing education.
The ones collaborating with others who make them better.
The ones questioning themselves just as much as they teach others.

And the ones who understand that this work isn’t just about rigid obedience —
it’s about you and your dog’s unique personalities,
your bond,
and the activities you love doing together.

Whether it’s getting your pup more comfortable around boats or water,
enjoying safe and reliable off-leash freedom on hikes,
or discovering a dog sport you never knew existed —
but your dog was MADE for!

Look at the dogs.
Look at the work.
It will speak for itself.

More growth.
More collaboration.
More dogs helped.

I couldn’t be more excited for what’s coming up —
new local collaborations and continuing education opportunities
to keep bringing the very best to all my favorite dogs and people.

We’re just getting started. 💫

Herding dogs are quirky, but they're my kind of quirky😜

LOVE having Val around!!

Sometimes the things we say are “for our dog”… are actually more about us. 👀

It feels good to:

Let them greet every single dog and person on the block

Skip the crate because “they don’t like it”

Play fetch until your arm falls off

BUT those things alone do not necessarily fulfill your dog.

Life is all about balance and there is another side of super important life skills that help your dog live their best life like:

Teaching them to chill when life is boring

Setting boundaries so they feel safe, not lost in freedom

Giving their brain as much of a workout as their body

Dogs don’t need 24/7 entertainment or chaos to thrive. They need structure, balance, and the ability to actually relax.

So… are you raising a calm, confident, clear headed dog—or just burning energy to make things feel better in the moment?

🚨 Your dog is NOT Amazon Prime 🚨

You don’t get results in 2 days with free shipping.

I get it—we live in a world where everything is instant. Groceries, packages, dinner, even answers to random 3am questions.

But training your dog? That’s not a “click, buy, delivered” situation.

You don’t get calm leash walking overnight.

You don’t get crate comfort after one nap.

You don’t get neutrality from a single training session.

Because training isn’t a product—it’s a process.

The good news? Unlike Prime packages, the results don’t get stolen off your porch. When you put in the reps, when you stay consistent, the payoff lasts.

So no, your dog isn’t Amazon Prime.
They’re better—because with time, structure, and follow-through, you’re building the best version of your best friend. 🐾

✨ Let me know ONE skill you’re working on right now that you know will take time but will be SO worth it!

You don’t need to fix everything today.

You just need to start.

And the best place to start?

With the things you can control:
✨ Your tone of voice
✨ Your timing and clarity
✨ The boundaries you hold (or don’t)
✨ The amount of choice your dog has
✨ Your ability to say, “That’s enough for today.”

You’re not failing. You’re figuring it out. One small shift at a time.

As our busy summer boarding season winds down, we’re already thinking ahead—and you should be too!

It’s never too early to start preparing your dog for their next stay, whether that’s with us or anywhere else.

Because here’s the truth: If these skills only get practiced while they’re here, your dog might show up a little rusty and that's stress that can be avoided.

Let’s talk about the real-life habits that set your dog up for success—before the suitcase even comes out:

➡️ Crate Comfort – A dog who can rest calmly in a crate adapts to new spaces much easier. Crating isn’t a punishment—it’s a life skill.

➡️ Leash Manners – Pulling, lunging, or freezing on leash doesn’t just make walks harder, it creates unnecessary stress in new environments. Loose leash = loose nerves.

➡️ Schedule Flexibility – Your dog doesn’t need to eat breakfast at 7:03 AM sharp. Being adaptable helps reduce anxiety when things (naturally) shift on vacation.

➡️ Calm Separation – Whether you’re five feet away or five hours, your dog should feel secure enough to rest and exist without needing constant contact. That’s not harsh—it’s healthy.

➡️ Confidence Without Meds – If your dog needs medication to be left anywhere new, that’s a sign they need more practice feeling safe in the world. Confidence is built, not prescribed.

This isn’t just “sit, stay, shake.” It’s helping your dog feel safe, stable, and sane even when life gets a little chaotic.

So whether your next trip is tomorrow or six months from now—start working on this stuff now! It pays off every time you pack a bag.
