✨MEET TITAN✨

Titan has been here for A YEAR AND A HALF waiting for his forever home! 😭
Why might you ask? Because he is too “old”….
Titan is a 6 year old German Shepherd who is a mature gentleman with phenomenal obedience.
He is house and kennel trained, knows sit, down, stay, come, heel, shake with both paws and spin. He plays a mean game of fetch too!
He is easy to groom as well.
Titan is very people and cat social. Titan is neutral with other dogs but would prefer to either 1. Be the only dog, or 2. With another mature dog who respects boundaries, with a higher preference for the ladies.
He can be left out of the kennel and he won’t touch a thing or you can kennel him and he’s just as content.

He is a master lounger and loves to watch movies and chew on a bone. He is also super fun and loves long hikes, swimming, scent games, fetch, etc!
He’s the happy medium of calm and quiet in the home and adventurous and outgoing outside on the home.

Today at 2 different (pet friendly) stores he greeted tons of people and showed off his party tricks! Everyone complemented him and his good behavior.

Titan is fine with our children and children on walks who are respectful to him. He loves a good pet and treat but he isn’t the type of dog who wants to be smothered in hugs. He likes his space and will remove himself from situations he feels are too much, aka just walks away and does his own thing instead.

He’d be great for an adventurous couple or even some older folks who just want companionship.

For more information regarding Titan please reach out!
PLEASE Help this boy find a home 🏡🖤

It is with a sad heart we make this post today.
Walter and Finley’s owners have been dedicated clients of ours for boarding for the past TWO YEARS!
Two amazing years of being entrusted to watch the sweetest boys who always kept us laughing with their goofy antics and shenanigans. So thankful we got to spend the past two days with them before they head on their journey.
They leave next week to head to beautiful, sunny Hawaii, where hopefully we will see them again on vacation! 🐠🪼🐬☀️

Thank you so much Gianna and Kosey, we wish you the best on your PCS move!

Almost 3 weeks into our 4 week board and train with Mollie, a 4.5 month old Cocker Spaniel. Today we tried our luck with a field trip to Freedom Fest in Down Town Waynesville and she was an absolute champ with all of the commotion! In a new environment like this, especially for puppies, our goal isn’t stability in obedience. Instead we aim for handler engagement, positive exposure and promoting neutrality. At the end we did allow a couple of people to greet Mollie politely and this sweet girl soaked it all in. So proud of our progress as she was very reserved and lacked confidence in new environments without her sister Maddie (who is currently in training with Kayla). A little over a week to go and still so much to room to grow! For inquiries on training and availability please send us a message or give us a call! Hope to see your pups in school soon 😄

Miss Sassie has left the school house!
She is finally back at home with her family after her 3 week board and train course!

We loved every minute of having this spicy little girl here, she is now proficient on loose leash walking, recalling to her name, being comfortable in a kennel, comfortable with handling for all phases of grooming, a potty training schedule and more!
Sassie even got to travel with us to SC to a protection sport dog trial where she got to see a ton of working dogs, lots of people, hear gun fire, can curtains, and a variety of other sites and sounds and she handled them like an absolute champ and was completely unphased.
She has been set up for success to be a well rounded travel companion for her mum!
HUGE thank you to Virginia entrusting us to care for and train Sassie, wishing you the best on your future adventures!

This video may not look like a lot to most people but for a dog like Carl this is a MASSIVE moment for him. Carl made his way to us on February 23rd, so we are a little over 4 weeks into his training. His owner sent him to us because of his level of anxiety and fear response to what we would consider “normal” every day sights like cars going by, people walking, loud vehicles, men, etc.
When Carl first came we couldn’t even leave the front yard before he would try to drag us back to the house, a place of safety and comfort for him. If anything was different in the environment, trash cans at the corner for trash day or a new vehicle parked in a different spot on the road, he would vibrate and try and retreat back.
While we may not be ready to go into such a hectic space like the construction zone shown in this video, we can now make it a reasonable distance away and just watch. We aren’t willing to rush anything he isn’t ready for, we will continue slowly increasing his threshold over time through May when he is projected to go back to his mum.
We have spent hours on hours just sitting in the front yard “people watching” and letting vehicles pass, taking walks only one or two houses down, and now we have successfully made it a half mile without him panicking at new sights and sounds.
This type of training is NOT a quick process and we can only move as fast as a the dog is willing to, just know it’s possible through patience, time, and consistency! Carl is 100lbs of a big, goofy, loving boy who is now able to start living a “normal” life, we still have a LONG way to go but this is huge progress for him and we couldn’t be happier to be on this journey with him.

Our next board and train availability starts at the end of April, so give us a call or send a message to secure your spot!
