Update: June is fully booked for Board and Trains!

🚨 Board & Train Opening 🚨

We still have a Board and Train spot available for June 15th!

This is the last available Board & Train opening until the end of July. If you’ve been thinking about getting your dog started with obedience, manners, leash walking, recall, impulse control, and real-world training, now is the time to grab it.

Spots are extremely limited due to in-home program setup and this opening likely won’t stay available long.

Message us or fill out a contact form on the website to get started!

There is truly nothing more special than spending quality time with your pup. What a wonderful event and it was so awesome getting to see all the dogs having fun!

Herriot had his follow up session this week after his board and train stay. After some refreshers and handling skills. He is transitioning smoothly back home and is CRUSHING his commands.

We were so proud to see him doing well and can’t wait to hear how he grows into a mature adult. Good job Herriot! 💚💚

Magnolia the Standard Poodle puppy is enrolled in our Private Training Program for basic obedience and manners. 🩷🌸

This sweet girl is incredibly smart and eager to learn. Recall and impulse control are our primary focus since she shares space with farm animals and needs to make good choices around distractions.

We’re also working on foundational obedience, engagement with her mom and human siblings, polite manners, and building confidence in new situations. Magnolia is already catching on quickly and loves training, which makes her such a fun pup to work with.

We can’t wait to watch this girl continue to grow into a well mannered, reliable companion! 🐾💕

This sweet girl goes home tomorrow, and we have absolutely loved having her here the past two weeks. Charli is such a loving pup with a wonderful temperament, and we know she’s going to grow into a fantastic adult Lab.

When she arrived, Charli had a lot of strength behind her and loved to pull on leash. By incorporating sniff breaks into our walks, we were able to increase her engagement and make great progress with her leash manners. She’s much better about staying with her handler and not hitting the end of the leash.

We’re definitely going to miss this girl!

✨Riddle Me Wednesday✨

Can you guess Hana and Freya’s furball theme?

I left my home to join the fight,
A daughter hiding in plain sight.

With courage fierce and heart so bold,
I broke the rules I’d always been told.

A tiny dragon, loud and bright,
Stuck by my side through every fight.

Who am I, with friend so small,
Who saved my land and stood up tall?

Scooby and Freddy, the English Cream Labs, recently started our in-home private training program!

Freddy is still a young pup and has definitely picked up a few “big brother” habits from Scooby along the way. With a recent move and life changes, training routines became a little more relaxed, so we’re working on getting both boys back on track with their obedience, manners, and overall structure.

We’ll also be focusing heavily on learning how to walk calmly together on leash and building better habits as a team. Both boys are super sweet and eager to learn, we are so excited to see their progress!

Barry the 8 month old golden retriever is enrolled in private training for basic obedience and manners. This sweet and handsome boy struggles with impulse control, leash pulling and distractions and recall.

Barry has a strong foundation so far and just needs some fine tuning during his adolescence stage. We are so excited to help him grow into a mature adult! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
