Just something to be aware of!

🚨PFAS Detected in Spokane River: What Pet Owners Need to Know🚨

Recent testing shows elevated levels of PFAS--also known as "forever chemicals"--in the Spokane River, especially near Spokane Valley and the Centennial Trail area. These man-made toxins can accumulate in the body over time and have been linked to liver damage, cancer, and immune system issues in humans and animals alike.

🐾 Why it matters for pets: Dogs that swim, drink, or play in contaminated water may be at risk. Pets are especially vulnerable due to smaller body size and behaviors like licking their fur after a swim. PFAS exposure has been associated with developmental and reproductive harm in animals.

💧 Our advice: If your dog loves the river, consider keeping them leashed and away from the water until more safety data is available. Choose safer splash options like a clean kiddie pool or supervised sprinkler play. And, always, if your pet shows unusual symptoms after water play, talk to your vet ASAP.

Last year was pretty rough with how many dogs went missing in our area. Please keep your dogs inside or on leash, new puppies especially. Play games, do training sessions, talk to your vet. Also, check out local pet stores for new enrichment games and calming products. There are so many options to keep your pups comfortable and safe! 🐾♥️

When clients become friends, and friends become family.

Sully had the pleasure of working with Brad and Monica to train their two beagles, Doc and Grumpy. I remember Sully coming home after their first session, excited and telling me, “You have to meet my new clients.” It was an instant connection—one that quickly grew into a beautiful friendship.

We used to call Brad our business manager. He was always there to bounce ideas off of, to give honest advice, and to simply talk things through. Brad and Monica have been our biggest cheerleaders, always wanting the best for us and our business.

There hasn’t been a single visit where we didn’t laugh—really laugh. From silly redneck games to comedy nights, our time together was always full of joy. Even last Thursday, despite Brad’s health declining, we still found ourselves laughing as he shared stories from his younger years.

Now, as I sit and write this, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude—and, honestly, regret. Regret that there weren’t more nights like that. More time. More laughter.

Words can’t fully express how much we love Brad. Our hearts are shattered by his passing. But oh, how thankful we are to have known him, loved him, and looked up to such a truly wonderful human being.

We love you guys so much. Always.

You all know I can’t get enough of these slow motion videos!
Meet Koda!
He’s a sweet and sassy 3 month old German Shepherd puppy who I not only get the pleasure of training, but I also get to puppy sit for him! Koda is learning to be just the best boy and is having a blast with all of his foundational training.

I know I’m not the best at posting, but I had to post about just how incredible dogs are. This little girl is the sweetest and for not being a super cuddly dog, she knew exactly what I needed. 😭♥️🐾
I love my job. I love what we do. We are just so incredibly thankful.
