We train dogs in obedience and behavior modification, while teaching families how to be the leaders their dogs need and provide the clear communication for the best relationship possible. Our goal is for our clients to be able to enjoy their dogs as true part of the family; including them in more activities and allowing their dogs more freedom!

How you use different types of toys can impact your dog’s behavior and your relationship with them. Having some safe chew bones or independent toys around the house is a great way to encourage calm chewing and help your dog decompress on their own.

On the flip side, having high-energy or excitable toys lying around inside can lead to more hyper behavior and missed opportunities to build value in your relationship through intentional play.

That’s where understanding the difference between independent toys and engagement toys really matters. Independent toys are things your dog can safely chew or interact with on their own — no human needed.

Engagement toys, like balls or tug toys, are meant to be used with you in a shared game or activity. These toys are perfect for building connection and teaching your dog how to channel their excitement into play with you, not just random chaos in the living room.

Being thoughtful about when and how you use each type of toy can help you create a calmer home environment and strengthen your bond with your dog 😊🐾

🐾✨ Happy National Dog Day! ✨🐾

It feels like the perfect day for a long overdue introduction… Meet Nadir 💎 our newest pack member!

She’s a 3-year-old Dutch Shepherd whose name means “unique” or “rare” in Hebrew — and she truly is just that. In the almost 3 months I’ve had her, she has blown me away in every way. She’s so good with Ilana and has blended into the pack as if she’s always been here.

After just two months of training together, she even attended the huge Buckarama event with confidence and grace!

It feels like fate brought her to us, and we are beyond grateful she’s found her forever here at Serenity Farms!

Her name we picked couldn’t be more fitting — she truly is a diamond in the rough, and we absolutely adore her. 💕🐾

✨ Upcoming Fundraising Seminar – September 13th ✨Benefiting Furever After Rescue

This past weekend at the Buckarama was such a special one! We had the opportunity to meet so many of you and put on a presentation each day, which was truly an honor.

I couldn’t be prouder of Fig, Bustelo, Nadir, and Westin for putting in 26 hours of work in such a stimulating environment—most of that time calmly laying down and showing just how valuable training can be.

And of course, having Ilana right there with us made it even more meaningful. It was busy, sometimes a little crazy, but full of memories I wouldn’t trade for anything.

Huge thank you to my husband Joe for all his hard work behind the scenes, and to all of you for your continued support of our pack and our mission❤️

We are so excited for our full-day seminar on September 13th! Every single dollar raised will go directly to Furever After Rescue, and we’d love to see you there 🐾😊

This is what training is all about 💪💕

Bustelo, my Belgian Malinois in a crowded, stimulating environment… my 10-month-old holding the high-value ball he’s working for… me giving the commands.

This is what happens when you prioritize clear communication, consistency, and relationship. Training isn’t just about control—it’s about creating a dog that can truly be part of the family.

Our goal is to build dogs that can live, work, and thrive alongside us—fulfilling their needs while fitting into our lifestyle. Training should be fun, inclusive, and productive.

Getting here takes time, effort, and consistency—it truly becomes a lifestyle. But the reward is worth every bit of it. Moments like this are why we train 💕

We’re thrilled to introduce another new SK9 pack member—Blitz, the adorable Australian Shepherd puppy belonging to our amazing team member, Bri!

Blitz is already showing off his motivation and eagerness to learn. From day one, he’s been incredibly engaged and connected. We can already see that special bond forming between him and Bri!

Bri can’t wait to explore the trails with Blitz, try out fun sports like dock diving, and most importantly, enjoy life with her new best friend always by her side.

We’re so excited to watch this duo grow, train, and thrive together 💕🐾

We’re so excited to introduce two new members of the SK9 pack—Katie’s newest girls, Ilo and Doechii! Ilo is a Heeler/Corgi mix and the perfect example of “small but mighty.” She’s versatile and always ready for whatever the day brings- whether it’s a chill couch day or a run around at work all day! Ilo’s enthusiasm and spirit are contagious. Katie’s looking forward to exploring all kinds of activities with her.

Doechii is a beautiful young Doberman who brings a little diva energy to the team but is also tough, playful, and fits right in with the rough-and-tumble boys of the SK9 crew. She’s already showing her loyalty and has even stepped up as a helper dog during a few client sessions already!

Watching Katie’s pack grow has been such a joy. With Goose, Capri, Ilo, and Doechii, she’s now surrounded by a team full of big personalities and even bigger hearts. We can’t wait to see what’s next for them! ❤️🐾

We are really excited to share that Serenity K9 and Shannon Hughes Pet Photography are once again teaming up for another free workshop—this time at Animal Rescue Foundation in Milledgeville Georgia on August 23rd.

This event is for the incredible volunteers and staff at shelters and rescues who work so hard to help dogs find homes.

With just a few training and photography tips, we can make a huge difference in how these dogs are seen by potential adopters. A great photo can be the thing that catches someone’s heart—and helps a dog get adopted.

Totally free and hands on- We’ll cover everything from helping dogs feel calm and confident in front of the camera to capturing their unique personalities.

If you’re involved in rescue work and want to learn some practical, easy-to-use techniques, we’d love to have you join us 📸🐶
