Smiles are contagious... and this crew is proof! 😄
One of the best parts of our day is seeing happy, confident pups enjoying their time together. Whether they’re making new friends, practicing good manners, or just soaking up some sunshine, these smiles tell the whole story.
A tired dog is great, but a happy dog is even better ❤️

This week, we’re celebrating Amina and Sami and the amazing progress they’ve made. ❤️

Both girls have struggled with selective dog aggression which is why safe, structured socialization has been so important in their journey. During this training play session, Krista carefully supervised the controlled play—watching body language and making sure every interaction stayed positive and safe (never a free-for-all).

And the progress speaks for itself. 🐾

Sami’s owner shared:
“That video really showed a lot… this is a credit to you and your skill set. I love the idea of a controlled setting and controlled play, not just a free-for-all… That was awesome.”

So proud of these girls and how far they’ve come! ✨

Huge congratulations to Kathleen, at Vom Cama Wabak Rottweilers, and Winston on earning their BH title! 👏🎉

I had the privilege of watching them on the field, and it was incredible to see their teamwork, training, and dedication come together. Kathleen is Ozar’s IGP trainer, and Ozar and I are so lucky to be learning from her as we continue our dog sport journey.

For those who may not know, IGP (also know as Schutzhund)is a working dog sport that tests a dog’s tracking, obedience, and protection skills—but it’s also about confidence, stability, teamwork, and control. The BH title is the first major step in the training and focuses on obedience, temperament, and a dog’s ability to remain calm and reliable in real-world situations.

We still have plenty of work ahead before reaching this stage with Ozar, but watching accomplishments like this is so inspiring and reminds me that every training session matters. 💪🐾

Congratulations again to Kathleen and Winston—you are a true inspiration for us💙💛

This Training Tuesday, Dolly is showing just how far she’s come! 🐾
When Dolly first started, she was very skittish and unsure around other dogs, with little interest in playing or joining the fun. With patience, guidance, and positive experiences, Krista has been helping her build confidence step by step.
Now that she has some fundamentals down, Dolly gets to put that growing confidence into action at the dog park with friends — and enjoy one of the best rewards of all… fetch! 🎾
Training isn’t just about learning commands — it’s about helping dogs feel safe, confident, and comfortable enough to enjoy being part of the pack. We’d say Dolly is making some pretty amazing progress 💛

Some heroes wear uniforms. Some wear fur. 🇺🇸🐾
This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men, women, and military working dogs who served with courage and sacrifice.
Their loyalty, bravery, and dedication will never be forgotten ❤️

Sunshine, sniffari field trip and a whole lot of good dogs working on their “sit and do nothing” skills (while secretly judging my snack situation).

Today, Dolly is working on learning to move forward with confidence. For some dogs, walking without stopping, panicking, or turning back takes time—and trust.

Having calm, confident dogs around helps show her the way, and while you may see Dolly checking back in with me, that’s not fear—it’s trust. 💛

Confidence is built one step at a time, and Dolly is making great progress.

Happy National Pet Month to the ones who make every day brighter, furrier, and full of love. 🐾❤️
From the excited greetings at the door to the quiet cuddles at the end of the day, pets have a way of turning ordinary moments into the best ones. We’re so grateful to spend our days caring for your four-legged family members and loving them like our own.
Here’s to all the wagging tails, happy purrs, muddy paws, and unconditional love that make life better. Happy National Pet Month from all of us at Pet and Home Pros! 🐶🐱✨

You may remember this video from a few weeks ago. Heidi’s mom called it “life-saving heroic acts.” ❤️🐶
Truthfully, Krista never really thought of it that way — when one of her pups needs her, she just jumps into action.
Dogs will be dogs (and occasionally make some questionable snack choices 🙃), and in moments like that, experience and quick action matter.
This sweet note from Heidi’s family after helping their pup who got into something toxic at home before her visit with Krista completely caught her off guard and truly meant the world to her. 🫶🏼
After nearly 30 years, keeping dogs safe, happy, and healthy will always be the top priority — and it’s exactly why Krista loves what she does. 🐾
