Maisie is learning that the world can be kind

Maisie came from a heartbreaking past with no potty training, rotting teeth, and very little human connection.

During board and train, we focused on confidence, positive social interactions, field trips, and a dependable potty training routine. With patience and consistency, Maisie started to trust, learn, and open her heart.

Proudly helping dogs across Downtown Harrisonburg, Purcell Park, the JMU area, and Northeast Harrisonburg build confidence at their own pace.

Pasha learned to share the walk

Pasha came to us with leash reactivity that could pull his mom off balance when another dog appeared. During our three-week board and train program, this powerful Anatolian Shepherd mix worked on leash communication, loose-leash walking, obedience, and safer responses around canine distractions.

Now he is learning to move with his handler, accept direction, and stay more composed when the walk gets challenging.

Betty & Smedley Learned To Work Together

This duo each had different challenges, but both needed structure, communication, and clearer expectations.

Their board-and-train program focused on resource guarding, confidence-building, impulse control, and learning how to make better choices around one another. Their family now has a stronger foundation to help both dogs continue succeeding together.

Newton packed a lot of drive into a tiny frame

Newton joined us to build a foundation around impulse control and neutrality, and this lil guy proved he is smart as a whip.

He picked up training quickly, and his owners showed the same dedication during their part of the process. Now Newton has clearer expectations and a great team behind him moving forward.

Is That Roll Just for Fun?

August is Itchy Pet Awareness Month! An occasional roll in the grass may be harmless, but frequent scratching, licking, chewing, or rubbing can be a sign that something is making your dog uncomfortable.

Pay attention to changes in your dog’s skin and behavior, and talk with your veterinarian if the itching keeps coming back. A comfortable, healthy dog is better able to learn, grow, and thrive.

Charge learned to think before chasing

Charge, a Labrador Retriever mix, came to us for impulse control and leash reactivity after reacting to dogs on walks and wanting to chase rabbits and squirrels.

With clear boundaries and consistent training, Charge made major progress toward calmer walks, stronger recall, and safer off-leash time. His owner is thrilled with the progress and the foundation they now have.
