Tate and I had an amazing day at the Yakima KC dog show last Friday!

We won reserve best in owner handler show !

As the owner of a 10 month old puppy I couldn’t be happier! I’m blown away at how she presents herself and how much fun we have in the ring. What an honor it is to have been picked RBIS against beautiful and mature CH and GCH dogs!

Today is the start of a much needed “break” from dog training. I will still be open for boarding, daycare and grooming but I will not be training this month. If you need to get ahold of me please reach out via email or text as I will be taking a break from social media ☺️

See ya soon! ✌🏻

🧠💆🏼‍♀️May is my mental health month 💆🏼‍♀️🧠

Real talk incoming.

Let’s talk about ✨burn out✨

Being a small business owner, mother, wife, friend, employer, employee, mentor, caretaker, trainer, groomer, manager, house keeper, people pleaser and much more can be ALOT on someone. All we do is WORK. We work to provide, we work to survive, we need money in order to make ends meet and we need money in order to get the 5 minutes of self care that we deserve but don’t always follow through with.

With all this being said, if you are in the pet industry 🙌🏻take at least month of self care🙌🏻 force yourself. It makes me nervous to even think about time to myself (cause what??? time to myself???) My ADHD and anxiety are at it’s all time high just thinking about doing something other than work. That’s not to say that I won’t be working, I’ll still be grooming, daycare and boarding dogs but I’m giving myself 30 days of zero training to let myself breathe, ground myself and actually enjoy my life with my kids and personal dogs because let’s be honest, I always want my clients to be the priority because I am taking care of their family members. They are trusting me with their dogs life, well-being, health and happiness.

I love what I do. I love my clients. I love dogs. However, in order to be my best self that you and your dog deserve, I need time to revisit that spark that initiated my passion to do what I do and have been doing for many many years.

I hope you can understand why I will not be training dogs next month. I apologize to those who needed my help and guidance.

Be kind to your pet provider 🐾

😍Proud dog mom + handler moment! 😍

Tate, my personal dog (who is 10 months old) was invited to preschool/daycare on 2 separate occasions to educate kids ranging from 6 months to 5 years old on how to properly interact with dogs. It was such a fun and rewarding experience!
Some kids have never been around a dog while others have never seen one so fluffy! It was so rewarding seeing kids gain the courage to pet their first dog. All the toddlers and preschoolers had a blast lifting up her lips to inspect her pearly whites, playing frisbee and pouring sand on her. The waddlers and babies enjoyed her calm presence while they drooled and loved on her.

To say I’m proud of Tate is an understatement. Tate exceeds my expectations as puppy but more importantly for a difficult and rare breed. Tate is calm, confident, sporty and respectful. She enjoyed every moment which is ALL I can ask for out of her. Tate is a beautiful representation for the Irish water spaniel breed.
Not all Irish water spaniels are like this, with that being said please do your research or message me with any questions you may have if you are interested in this breed.
