Bringing out the best in working dogs, that’s what I live for. 🔥
June was wild, in the best way.
4 trials. 4 teams. 6 titles.
Everyone showed up, gave it their all, and left it all on the field. Couldn’t be prouder of what this crew accomplished.
Let’s run it back:
🔥 Natalie crossed the border from Canada and delivered. Her dog took High in Trial, High Obedience, AND High Protection. I stepped in for protection work to fine-tune some key detail and Margaux rose to the challenge. This team has made incredible progress in record time.
🔥 MJ went double-duty: one IGP trial, and one American Schutzhund.
She and Mia earned IGP1 and AS1, snatching High in Trial and High Protection at both.
Her powerhouse male, Vali, made a comeback after a bite work hiatus and still took High BTX. These Luna-line puppies continue to impress with their resilience and drive, they don’t play around.
🔥 Evan crushed it in Montana, earning his PSA1 with Dooma, taking high distinction in obedience, and delivering a commanding performance in protection.
With a dog as serious as Dooma, control is everything, and this team brought both clarity and power to the field. Much respect.
🔥 Ariana stepped into the ring for the first time with her young dog, Rutabaga.
First trial, PDC title earned.
Three new decoys and Rue didn’t flinch. Clean, committed bites the whole way through.
A new fire’s been lit in this team, so proud of the work and the mindset shift that came from this one, and I can’t wait to see what’s next.
To all of you: thank you for trusting me with your dogs and bringing your all.
This is what it looks like when potential gets unlocked.
Only direction to go from here is 🚀
Protection work isn’t just about handing out bites.
It’s about reading a dog’s temperament, delivering the right pressure, and offering feedback that actually builds the dog.
Anyone can wear a sleeve or a suit but not everyone can make a dog better.
