2026 Stories: Dog trainer goes on a rant about her raw fed dogs being sick lately. Come to find out the ups driver has been giving them treats..

The dogs are allowed to run out, approach and bark at the delivery drivers. (And yall know my feelings on this)

So now it’s the delivery drivers fault that they’re “sick”…..

Make it make sense guys.
I need another coffee.

Petro was so happy to be back running Fastcat tonight!

He had runs in the 7s which per usual, he made me super proud. He’s a speedy guy!

Harlie, my 5yr old was his releaser and I was equally as proud of her for handling him well.

Thanks Central K9 for putting these on!

Fastcat is back for 2026 for anyone interested!

It is a great, fun sport for any speedy/drivey dogs with great recall!

Zaley!

A recent rescue coming to us for her proper puppy start at just 14wks old.

We’ll see her once a week for privates over the next weeks then she’ll begin our Play and Train playgroups in a few weeks.

Zaley has such a fantastic, confident, friendly, driven, energetic personality that we know she’s going to be super fun to work with. Puppies with this natural temperament tend to really excel.

Stole this article graphic from Green Mountain K9!

You can read it here guys.

The positive only professionals would rather you euthanize your aggressive/behavioral dog than potentially use a tool that works to curb these behaviors.

They claim because an alternative exists. An alternative that I have personally seen time and time again in these dogs, as ineffective.

Be careful what you read and follow where “science based” is involved.

There’s a whole lot to dog training that science has no bearing on.

Yes!

We do offer adoption/breeder resources and help in finding the right fit for your family.

One of our most common complaints as of late is unfortunately being sold/adopted a dog that wasnt as advertised or simply not the right fit for the family.

We can help:

-Choose the right rescue/breeder
-Temperament test your new pup
-Evaluate shelter dogs
-Recommend dos and don’ts
-Highlight common issues/misconceptions

Once you commit to a dog we believe that it’s important to see it through. Part of this is making the correct choice from the beginning.

We are consistently asked to take in litters/unwanted adults, that’s always an avenue as well.

Pm or email us for help.

Fox has had some tough love sessions this week. His public reactivity was much too much.

He’s done so so much better since we’ve started working on it and setting some expectations.

He’s learning that calm over chaos, wins.

This can be your dog too.
I LOVE this part of training.

Jumping.

For a whole lot of people out there that I know personally and have worked with- jumping is a minor concern. We talk on this one a lot.

Cute, silly, funny, excitable, typical dog stuff.

Jumping here- is an absolute no.
Not just in pet dogs, in sport dogs.

Hard stop.

Jumping is silly and funny until you have an elderly client, bleeding/bruised down their arms due to the jumping of a young dog.

The behavior is purely unacceptable and moreso- TRAINABLE.

Things we can train, things we can improve upon and make safer- we should and we as trainers and owners, have a responsibility to. Unless you have a base of several elderly clients, it can be hard to understand the dangers of basic unchecked dog behavior.

A puppy under 6mos-
Needs safe, positive exposure..

Equally as much as they need structure, affection and obedience.

Exposure not to a million off leash dogs.

Exposure to textures: long, heavy grass and brush. Plastic flooring. Metal street grates..

Exposure to sounds: gunfire, fire trucks, vacuums..

Exposure to stimulation: car rides, bumpy truck or ATV rides, wiggly a-frames or seesaws..

Exposure builds confidence and a confident puppy greets the world without fear. (Or fear based aggression)
