A good dog trainer isn't the one that can work a strong dog, it's the one that can make a dog strong.

Jonesy finally decided that it’s okay to put her delicate elbows on the ground and that she would, in fact, be okay if I walked away from her. We love a queen that overcomes. 👑

Elsie came to hang out while her parents were at the game, so we squeezed in a field trip to brush up on her skills. This girl didn’t miss a beat!

Bolt & Jonesy went on a trip downtown to work on some environmental exposure and practicing their obedience skills.

We’re not working on anything profound in this setting, just the basics they enjoy and chances to take it all in. Not recorded is our time sitting and people watching and the 5 minute interaction of having to call an ambulance for someone 🥲😐

One of our weirder times out but still a successful training trip! 🤪

weekend vibes at your dog’s favorite place to be 🌞 🍁

I don’t know how your morning is going, but this is how it started for us. 🏎️ 💨

This isn’t your average board and train set up. No one’s clocking in to work with your dog, we’re living every moment with them while they’re here.

Bolt is available to adopt for the perfect home- which now I think requires a go kart. 🤪
