Starting Monday, March 3rd I will no longer be offering Boarding or Board & Train services while I take some time off. I will still be offering limited availability private lessons and consultations.

Austin was the last boarder to go home before I start my sabbatical tomorrow. Like many of my clients, I’ve been a part of Austin’s life since he was a small puppy. As excited as I am for this next chapter I am going to greatly miss all my amazing clients! After 7 years, I feel like so many of you are more like extended family than clients.

I will be back after some much needed rest, rejuvenation and time to travel. So this is not a “goodbye”, but simply a “see you later”!

We would like to officially introduce our newest Trainer Micaela! And her dog Koda, of course. 😁

Micaela has had a love for dogs since she was younger and always wanted to work with them in her career. She grew up local in Woodstock, GA and got her Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology at Kennesaw State.

Micaela got Koda, a black and tan Labrador retriever, in hopes to learn about the developmental processes of dogs and the training that mirrors that.

We first hired Micaela in 2023 as an assistant trainer, and over the past several months she has gone through our hands on course to become a certified Dog Trainer. As of May 1, 2024 we have promoted her to Trainer status!

Her dog Koda has been an amazing asset to the team since they joined us a year and a half ago. His happy-go-luck personality is great for helping dogs come out of their shell.

Please help us give Micaela and Koda CONGRATULATIONS!!

Please help us find this sweet boy a home!

This is not a HDR foster dog. This is a courtesy post for Vertex K9 Training. Please contact them if you are interested in adopting this Beefcake! 🐾❤️🐾

Baz (M)
Great Dane
3 years old
155 lbs.

Fully on and off leash trained LOVES affection and cuddling. Great with other dogs (but sometimes doesn’t understand the size difference). Best with older kids (because he doesn’t know his size).

Meet our Trainer & Kennel Manager Skylar!

Skylar has grown up with dogs his entire life. He was born and raised in a small town in Illinois and moved to Georgia with his family in 2019. In 2021 he graduated from North Forsyth.

Skylar’s first exposure to the world of dog training was in 2019 when his family was referred to Rachel by their vet after their dog was attacked on leash by another dog in the neighborhood. During the training program Rachel noticed his natural handling skills and offered him a position as an Assistant Trainer.

In 2022, after a 6 month long certification process, Skylar was brought on as a full time Obedience Trainer. Skylar loves his job and all the dogs and people he has the opportunity to work with.
