☀️ Just a friendly reminder! ☀️

I’ll be taking my yearly vacation from July 15th through July 27th. Before that, July 12th–15th, I’ll be attending a Canine First Aid & CPR Conference to continue expanding my knowledge and skills so I can better serve my clients and their dogs. 🐾

During this time, I may have limited availability and slower response times for messages, scheduling, and inquiries. I truly appreciate your patience and understanding while I’m away taking time to learn, recharge, and spend time with family.

I’ll be back and ready to assist everyone starting July 28th!

Thank you all for your continued support of Pause 4 Paws Canine Trainer LLC. I hope you and your pups have a safe, fun, and wonderful July! ❤️🐶

Holiday Closure Notice for July 4, 2026

I will be closed on July 4th because it can be an especially stressful time for many dogs due to fireworks and other loud celebrations.
My priority is your dog's well-being, and I don't want to add any more stress than they're already experiencing. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you and your pets have a safe and peaceful holiday!

Hard work pays off! Congratulations to the both of you! Phoibie’s cousin K9 Finn!

🏆🐾 Congratulations to SLMPD K-9 Finn and PO Brian Eisele! 🐾🏆

The St. Louis Police Officers Association is proud to congratulate SLMPD K-9 Finn and his handler, Police Officer Brian Eisele, on winning the Overall Championship (Top Dog) at the American Mantrailing, Police & Work Dog Association (AMPWDA) K-9 Police Nationals in Atlanta, Georgia.

The "Top Dog" title is awarded to the team that excels across every phase of competition, including obedience, tracking, article searches, and bite work. Competing against elite police K-9 teams from across the country, Finn and Brian rose to the top and brought the championship home to St. Louis.

Finn's story is as unique as his accomplishment. Bred in Denmark, he traveled internationally before joining the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and even required a passport to enter the United States. Like many European working dogs, Finn responds to commands given in Dutch.

And speaking of passports, the full name on his passport is Huckleberry Finn.

Which means the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department employed both Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. 😳😂

One is a retired police officer and co-host of our partners at The Brighter Side of Blue Podcast.

The other just won a national K-9 championship.

Mark Twain would probably get a kick out of that.

In all seriousness, this achievement represents countless hours of training, discipline, teamwork, and trust between handler and K-9. Brian and Finn have made the entire department and community proud.

Please join us in congratulating PO Brian Eisele and K-9 Finn on this incredible accomplishment.

👏🐾 Congratulations, gentlemen! St. Louis is proud of you👍💙
