Does anyone know who this pup belongs to? She’s super sweet! She’s hanging out with us here until we find the owner!

Get scheduled! Sydnie does amazing work!

🤍 We’re officially in the second half of pregnancy! 🤍

I can’t believe how quickly this pregnancy is flying by, and with baby girl’s arrival getting closer, so is my maternity leave!

Before I step away, I’d LOVE to get as many of you and your dogs on my schedule as possible. 🐾

As a small business owner who is essentially commission-based, I don’t receive a paycheck while I’m on maternity leave. So every lesson, day train, and consult booked before I leave genuinely makes a difference for me and my family.

If you’ve been thinking about booking, now is the time! I want to help as many of you as I can before I take some time away to soak up those newborn days. 🍼

Thank you for continuing to support me, trusting me with your dogs, and allowing me to do what I love. It truly means more than you know. ❤️

Let’s get those dogs on the calendar before baby girl arrives! Message me today to get your consult scheduled!

Great information to keep in mind for your pets safety!

Now that we are in the thick of the heat, here is your reminder to make sure it is safe for your dogs to do outdoor activities. Even if your pup has booties for hot dog walking season, it is still best to do outdoor activities in the coolest parts of the day. Hyperthermia is a risk in these super hot tempatures, so just be cautious on how long you're allowing your pups outside.

It’s that time of year!
BLUE-GREEN ALGAE TOXICITY
Algae blooms are starting. There is no way to look at the algae and know whether it is the toxic variety or not. Be cautious keep dogs out of ponds, sloughs, and lakes that have algae. DO NOT allow dogs to drink the water. If you are concerned about contact your first step is to wash your dog with clear water to remove all possible residue from fur, skin and paws. Second step call your veterinarian! There is no single test or treatment for your pet there are ways to decontaminate, monitor and support your pet medically as liver damage, bleeding disorders, and neurological symptoms can be life threatening.
