We have really enjoyed our time with Maverick these past 8 days. This little miniature Schnauzer got along great with our dogs and loved playing with Cha Cha. I miss him already and look forward to his next visit with us!

I’m celebrating my 25th year anniversary of my career as a dog trainer today. It’s been a fun and rewarding career. I’ve been blessed to have met and become friends with so many amazing people who love dogs as much as I do. I have had the pleasure of hiring people to help me in my business in California and I enjoy seeing them now running their own dog training business or dog grooming business or even managing a Petsmart store. I call them my “kids”. My clients have become some of my dearest friends and I have always been thankful of their recommendations to future clients who become friends too! Thank you all for your support and love over the past 25 years!

Had a fun outing yesterday with Cha Cha who’s boarding with me for a few weeks. We did a 20 min golf cart ride to Buffalo Ridge softball fields and cheered on some of my friends while Cha Cha made some new friends. She did enjoy taking treats from lots of nice people. She was perfect when she met 4 other dogs and really enjoyed her nap after we got home!

I’m back home from my vacation and I’m enjoying boarding Cha Cha and Enzo. Mike and I take them for morning walks and Enzo is getting some extra training during the day on top of his boarding stay. All of our boarding dogs get a free nail trim if needed before going home. We have some availability from mid September till the end of the year. Feel free to reach out if you want your dog to enjoy their vacation while you go on vacation while staying in a safe environment. Our home has a fully fenced backyard and front porch. Mike and I have been boarding dogs for over 20 years in our homes. We are primarily accepting small & medium dogs but will consider larger dogs.

Super nice people. I’ve got my dog Waffles scheduled with them in August at their Sparr location near Brownwood to get his teeth cleaned. Their mobile van and equipment look top notch!

We really enjoyed having this family of 3 dogs stay with us for a few days. Sophie the lab was so respectful of all the little dogs, Breezy the 15 year old Chihuahua mix loved to find a spot on my couch or bed to nap and Lili the toy rat terrier became my shadow and followed me everywhere. My boys loved having all these girls here and my house seems quiet without them. Looking forward to perhaps having these Ladies board with us again in the future!

We took the boys to Lake Griffin State park this morning for a cool little walk thru the Florida nature. Highly recommend it! Cost is only $5 per car and dogs are welcomed on a leash. Bring water and potty bags and enjoy our beautiful area! Lake Griffin State Park is located in Fruitland Park on the 441/27 just south of 466A.

Love living and helping people train their dogs here in The Villages. These are some of the cuties I got the opportunity to meet and work with this past week. Best career ever!! Thanks for all of the referrals. 10 new clients for this month so far. Very blessed! ❤️

Are you looking for a safe and secure place to board your small friendly dog? We have decided to take in small dogs for overnight boarding. We have a fenced backyard and fenced in front porch. Your dog will get to the best care because we have over 20 years experience boarding dogs in our home. Your dog will hang out with our small dogs, get daily walks, won’t learn any bad habits because we are dog trainers and will probably come home better behaved. 😉 We will give free nail trims and a free bath for stays that are 8 days or longer. I send you pictures daily if you want. Boarding is a lower price than our board n train program. Boarding is for shorter stays or dogs that don’t need training but just a fun and safe home environment in which to stay at.
Space is very limited. Call or text for pricing and availability.

I’m back in town from some fun vacation destinations in our beautiful state of Florida! Feel free to reach out if you and your dog need some fine tuning with house manners, potty training, barking, walking on the leash, jumping up on guests, darting out the doors and not coming back when you call. Maybe you’re tired of your dog barking at other dogs and people when you go for a walk or golf cart ride? I can help! I’m currently scheduling myself 4 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Saturday) but will consider a Tuesday or Friday if I get too booked up or you need one of those days. Due to the heat I schedule myself to come to your home or local mailbox area at 8am & 10am. Fastest way to reach out to me is thru texting at (951) 514-7347.
I charge $125 the first session (90 min) and $100 for follow up privates (1hr). This is a flat fee. No extra charges if we go over on time.
