🐾 Welcome to Murphy's Bark N Boarding ,Sprocket! 💛

This adorable Australian Labradoodle boy is joining us for our 6-week Puppy Board & Train! 🐶🎓

Thank you, Jeffrey and Jeanette, for trusting us with your sweet boy. We’re excited to watch him learn and grow!

Everyone help us give Sprocket a big welcome, and follow along for his progress! 🐾

🐾 A little update from Murphy’s Bark N Boarding 🐾

I’m scheduled for surgery on December 17, and during my recovery, I will only be accepting new stays for smaller dogs while I give my body time to heal. 💛

All existing reservations will be honored, regardless of your dog’s size!

I’ll still be taking bookings for larger dogs for dates before my surgery and after my recovery. Please message me with your dates so we can plan your pup’s stay! 🐶

This is just a temporary adjustment. Thank you for your understanding and continued support! 💛🐾

What’s your favorite thing to do at the beach? 🌊❤️

Mine is sitting quietly on the beach at night with Brad after everyone has gone inside, just listening to the ocean. Just the two of us and the sound of the waves… my kind of peace. ❤️🌙

But we sure do miss our pups! 🐾💕 Can’t wait to get home to all those wagging tails and puppy kisses! 🥰

🐾 Help give a shelter dog six weeks of care, training, and a better start toward a forever home. Even a $5 donation can help! 💛

I’m restarting my work with shelter dogs through Murphy’s Bark N Boarding in Honaker, Virginia—one dog at a time.

The dog I help will stay with me for our 6-week Board & Train program, receiving daily care, individual attention, and positive reinforcement training tailored to their needs.

We’ll work on:
🐶 Basic cues like sit, down, stay, and coming when called
🐾 Walking with less pulling and greeting without jumping
🏡 Potty and crate routines, settling, and confidence

My goal is to help a shelter dog feel more secure and better prepared for life with an adoptive family. I’ll also provide guidance to help their future family continue the training at home.

Donations will help cover food, training treats, leashes, bedding, and other essential supplies for this care and training.

💛 We’ve already raised $75 from three generous donors—thank you for helping get this started!

If you’re able, please donate through the GoFundMe linked below. If donating isn’t possible, sharing this post is another way to help.

Thank you for supporting a brighter future, one shelter dog at a time. 🐾

Working with shelter dogs has been a meaningful part of my experience as a dog trainer, … Katina Murphy needs your support for Restarting Shelter Dog Training
