Bridger has exceeded all expectations for her board and train. She’s a remarkable little pup and at only 9 months old, she’s picked things so quick. She learned the turn command yesterday and the spin command today.

One year ago today, I had to make the most difficult and heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to my sweet boy, Force. 💔

Force was my soul dog.

He wasn’t just my dog. He was a piece of my heart, my family, and such a huge part of my life. He was truly the best of the best.

Six and a half years wasn’t enough time. Not even close. I feel robbed of the years we should have had together, the adventures we should have taken, and all of the memories we never got the chance to make.

To say I miss him is an understatement. There isn’t a single word in the English language that could ever describe how much I miss him or the pain my heart still feels from not having him here with me.

He was my best friend, my companion, my protector, and my travel buddy. He comforted me on the good days and carried me through the bad ones. Whenever I wasn’t feeling well or I was sad, he never left my side. He made me smile. He made me laugh. He brought so much happiness and joy into my life, and he loved me unconditionally.

Force was truly a one-in-a-million dog. He had the biggest heart and loved with everything he had. He was so smart, he knew what I was going to do before I even had the thought. He was the happiest boy, but he was also incredibly sensitive. He was the alpha of the pack, and I frequently had to remind him that he was not, in fact, the boss of the other dogs. I’m not entirely sure he ever believed me.

I know Force loved me with everything he had in him, and I hope with all my heart the he knew I loved him just as much.

His nickname, Big Handsome, suited him perfectly. Force was a big, beautiful Belgian Malinois with the most incredible golden eyes that seemed to glow whenever the sunlight hit them.

Forcey Boo, thank you for always sending me those double, end-to-end rainbows. I know they’re your way of reminding me that even though I can’t see you anymore, you’re still here, walking beside me.

I would give anything for more time with you. One more adventure. One more car ride. One more laugh because of something you did.

I miss you terribly, my Big Handsome boy. There will never be another Force.

Forever loved. Forever missed. Never forgotten. ❤️

Happy Birthday to the dynamic duo, Eric and Dozer!

I won’t divulge Eric’s age, because some things are better left a mystery (😉), but our sweet Dozey boy is 10 today!

It’s special when you find that one dog who was simply made for you. But it’s something even more extraordinary when that dog, your once-in-a-lifetime dog, the one who knows you, understands you, and is completely in tune with you, also happens to share the same birthday.

Eric and Dozer have built such a special bond over the years. They’ve trained together, learned from each other, and walked side by side through plenty of ups and downs. Through it all, Dozer has been Eric’s constant companion, always there and always ready for whatever comes next. Their connection is one of those rare ones that’s hard to put into words, but easy to see when they’re together.

Some dogs come into our lives and become part of the family, and then there are those very special dogs who somehow become part of who we are. Dozer is that dog for Eric. And somehow, as if these two weren’t already meant for each other enough, they share a birthday.

Please help me wish these two a very Happy Birthday! Here’s to celebrating Eric and 10 wonderful years of our sweet Doz, and to all the adventures, memories, quiet moments, and good times still ahead.

Happy, Happy Birthday Eric & Dozer!

Today is a big day for Bear!

Bear has officially reached the end of his Board & Train, and today he gets to head home to his new family! We couldn’t be more excited for this sweet boy and the next chapter ahead of him.

Bear has come such a long way from being a shelter pup. Watching him learn, grow, and gain confidence has been increasingly rewarding, and we’re so proud of all the progress he’s made.

His training journey isn’t over just yet. We’ll continue working with Bear and his family to help everyone build on his progress and set him up for success in his new home. Bear has a bright future ahead.

We’re so happy for you, Bear!

Happy National Dog Day, from our mischievous pack to yours.

Meet Major! New dog. New goals. New transformation.

Stormy has been making tremendous progress as we continue working on her fear reactivity.

In these videos, we have some of our calmer dogs out on the field while Eric works Stormy just outside the fence. This gives her enough exposure to work through her emotions without creating unnecessary stress.

As Duke gets closer to the fence line, you can see Stormy become apprehensive. She adjusts her position so she can watch him and even breaks position before being given a command.

BUT the important part is that she recovers.

On her very next command, Stormy refocuses on Eric and complies with her commands. You can even see the change in her body language; a little bounce in her step, her tail comes up and starts wiggling.

With fearful and/or reactive dogs, progress isn’t about perfection. It’s about learning to recover, refocus, and make good choices even when something feels uncomfortable.

Eric uses plenty of praise and treats to reinforce those good behaviors and help Stormy build confidence.

That recovery is the win, and Stormy is getting better at it every day.

The goal isn’t to control your dog. It’s to become someone they want to listen to.
