🐾 I’m Opening Just 1–2 More Mentorship Spots for October!

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to understand dogs on a much deeper level,” this may be your chance.

I’ll be accepting 1–2 additional mentees to begin The Modern Canine Connection Mentorship in mid-October.

This is for someone who wants more than just basic dog training information. We dig into canine behavior, body language, behavior modification, training skills, client communication, real cases, observation, and hands-on learning so you can start connecting all the pieces together.

You’ll have opportunities to learn from real dogs and real situations, ask questions, work through cases, review videos, and build the kind of skills that are hard to learn from books or online courses alone.

Whether you’re already working with dogs or you’ve been wondering how to take your passion for dogs and turn it into something more, I’d love to talk with you.

✨ I’m only opening 1–2 spots, and we’ll be starting in mid-October.

If this has been something you’ve been thinking about, send me a private message and I’ll send you more information about the mentorship and what’s involved.

You don’t have to know if you’re ready yet, reach out and we can talk about whether it might be a good fit. 🐕

Although it might feel like it sometimes, dogs are not stubborn creatures.

They usually have a reason for not responding to you in that moment.

Having trouble with a "stubborn" dog? Our qualified trainers can help!

Schedule a 45-minute initial consultation to identify your concerns with your dog's behavior, and let us help guide you on how to get started.

More information on shed hunting! Make sure to check out our classes!

Deer hunting season is over, but shed hunting season is on! 🦌

Each year, white-tailed bucks shed their antlers prior to spring. They'll regrow a new set over the summer.

Searching for their dropped antlers is called shed hunting!

🍂 Put your scouting skills to the test! Some of the best spots to find sheds are where deer are most active: heavily used trails, tree rubs and scrapes.

☀️ Antlers can also drop where deer are spending the most time. Southern-facing slopes that receive a good amount of sun are preferred bedding areas for bucks.

🐕 You'll need to cover a lot of ground shed hunting (good news for those with fitness New Year's resolutions). Teaming up with a dog is another way to put your companion to the test (and get them some exercise).

❌ Keep in mind shed hunting is not legal on some public lands — National Parks, Minnesota State Parks and Scientific & Natural Areas. Check your spot's restrictions before heading out.

Winter is a difficult time of year for deer, so make sure you're being respectful to the original owners of the antlers.

👌 Limit your visits to the same location.

🛑 Do not push animals (making them flee by pursuing them) and stay back if you see a deer.

🐾 Keep your dog on a leash to prevent them from chasing.
