Maple needs to run. So do I but that's besides the point 😆
Why does Maple need to run? To battle all that anxiety that's been holding too much space in her brain lately. She's an anxious reactive dog who just can't seem to let things go so we need that steady state exercise that running brings to help pump her full of endorphins to battle the cortisol levels that seem to be raging pretty high.
We tried biking yesterday for the same reason and it turned out she was far more anxious over the bike than anything else and we passed a lot of triggers 😅 running next to the bike almost seemed to keep her in that anxious state, the exact opposite of that we were trying to achieve. So off we went for a run this morning lol. Thankfully it was cooler than the 80* it has been and it was one of my cardio days anyway so win win! 🥳

Let's see how much more relaxed she is throughout the day after that. ❤️

Oh man Russell just might be one of the cutest guys to come through our programs yet! 😍
He's a great boy, already well socialized, his owner just wanted to get him fully trained up (on leash and off) so he could be an even BETTER version of himself!
Stay tuned for more adorable pictures and videos of this cutie!

But seriously. He's perfect. Not for avid hikers who want a dog to join them on long adventurous hikes because... You know... Three legs puts a damper on that dream. 😅🤷🏼‍♀️
But if you need a dog that loves kids ✅ loves to play with toys/kids/dogs ✅ also loves to just chill at home ✅ medium to low energy levels ✅ non barking dog ✅ cute as can be and literally makes everyone who meets him fall in love with him ✅ you NEED to seriously think about adding Dustin to your family. ❤️
He's perfect. Genuinely perfect. Off leash trained. On leash trained. Fully obedience and e-collar trained. Crate trained. Goodest boy to the max. ❤️

If you can't bring Dustin into your home would you at least SHARE him around to anyone and everyone you know who needs the PERFECT companion dog?

As our programs gain more and more popularity and we end up with even more than dogs than we thought we would ever get (THANK YOU! ❤️) it is becoming clear that we'll need to adjust our programs to accommodate the influx of dogs coming into the programs.
There will be NO MORE 4 week programs. When we had just a few dogs at a time it was not a problem to get everything nailed down in a short period of time. But as we get more dogs coming through with 'no behavioral issues' but then finding small underlying behaviors that we have to work them through we have found it's best to adjust and add more time to the programs to get the results everyone expects and deserves. Those underlying behaviors that most owners don't even realize can seriously delay the progress of the program when we have to address them.

So here's the adjustments:
No more 4 week programs.
6 week programs for no behavioral issues.
8 week programs for behavioral issues no matter how mild or severe.
Possibility of 10 week programs if it's an extreme case.

With that added time to the programs we'll be able to give each individual dog the extra time and attention they deserve to lay those foundational behaviors we rely on so much to carry the dog through to making their own choices. We'll be able to seriously proof all aspects of the dog's training so everything is a much smoother transition from our place back to home, and the chances of the dog making small mistakes after they go home is greatly decreased.

We pride ourselves in the work we do and we put everything we have into training the dogs that come through our doors and then training the owners to follow up and take it over when they pick up their dog. We truly believe this is the best course of action for our business, for our time, and especially for the dogs that come through. ❤️

We are FULL until our next round of programs open up at the end of August (24th). So if you're wanting to jump in on the next round and secure your spot before we get booked up for another 2 months, message us today!

Scotch is back and we are so excited to get to love on him again and share all the cute pictures and funny videos with you so he can FINALLY find the right home for him!
He's active, playful, funny, goofy, and LOVES dogs. With the right greeting he has made many friends with lots of different types of people!
Living with cats would be a challenge but not an off the table situation.
He needs an active person who's willing to keep up on the training he's been through (really it's not a lot and it's not hard, we'll train you!) and not someone who's going to just let him live his life on his own terms. He'll probably get into mischief if left to his own devices. 😆 Remember how I said he likes to play??? 😉

If you love him and want to meet him let us know! ❤️

Whiskey is here to take his training to the ultimate level! He's done puppy social, he's done Basic Obedience, he even did Intermediate Obedience, so when his owner asked what the next level would be we said board and train. Because ultimately most people want their dog to be reliable off leash. And we do that through our board and train programs. So we've got this handsome guy for the next 4 weeks perfecting everything he already knows and then some!
Stay tuned for his progress! 😎

Moby is here to perfect his leash manners, obedience, social skills and ultimately become e-collar off leash trained as well so he can go on ALL the hikes with his owners! ❤️
He's the goofiest, sweetest spaniel you ever did meet and we're so excited to work with him!

That's right... Dustin is coming back at no fault of his own ❤️ This is why we allowed the foster to adopt situation in his case.
Dustin is perfect. The only problem was that there were 5 kids who ALL wanted to play ball with him and his three legs couldn't keep up.

So if you're looking for the best chill pup around, who loves to go for walks and walks like a dream, who would be the best camper friend out there since he loves to sit by you and chill, he loves to play in the water (perfect for summer time adventures), loves kids/people/dogs, please consider Dustin because he's amazing. (And my shop is going to be ridiculously full 😅)

I'll be getting Dustin back at the end of this week (yes I'm excited to be able to love on him again! 🥰) so if you want to come meet the BEST BOY around, let me know. He'd love to land in a family of his own. ❤️
