Deer season is almost here! 🦌🩸🐕

Just a reminder that we offer whitetail recovery with River, our almost 5 y/o UBT1-certified Bloodhound. Tracking is something we truly love, and getting our girl out to do what she was bred for to help hunters is incredibly important to us!

With a newborn and a toddler at home, we may not be able to make it to every call this season but we’ll always try our best to send either myself or my husband out to help recover your deer.

A few tips as we head into the season:

• If you’re unsure about the hit, back out and give the deer plenty of time before searching.

• Avoid stomping all over the trail or grid-searching if there’s a chance you may call in a tracking dog. The less the area is disturbed, the better!

• Don’t be afraid to call a tracker and ask for advice, even if you aren’t sure you’ll need a dog. We’re always happy to talk through the shot and help you decide what to do next.

We do not charge for our services, but gratuities are always appreciated for our time and gas.

Most importantly, be safe and happy hunting! 🦌🐾

A little life & business update 🖤

As excited as I am for this next chapter, I’ll be honest — it’s a little bittersweet, too.

Country K-Nine has been such a huge part of my life, and taking a step back for a little while isn’t something that comes easily. But I’m so grateful that this business has given me the opportunity to be home with my family during such a special season.

To every client who has trusted me with your dog, supported my small business, shared my posts, recommended me to a friend, or simply cheered me on along the way… thank you. Your support has made this dream possible, and I truly don’t take it for granted.

Be sure to swipe through for all of the important updates regarding scheduling, availability, and a little surprise I’ve been working on for all of the future puppy owners out there!

If you’re a current client, please don’t hesitate to reach out regarding any questions about your dog’s training journey or any issues that arise that we have been working with you on! I will always be just a call or text away 🫶🏼🐾

I can’t wait to share this next adventure with you all, and I’ll be back before you know it! Talk soon!

This isn’t a replacement for real exercise or training.

But if you’re slammed, tired, or stuck inside — this is how you keep your dog fulfilled instead of chaotic.

Use them intentionally. Stay consistent.

Everything I recommend is in my storefront — linked in my bio 🫶🏼🐾

Most dog owners think better behavior comes from teaching more commands. In reality, the biggest changes usually happen when we change a few things first.

The small, everyday moments matter more than people realize. The way we follow through. The way we handle the little pushy behaviors. The structure we do (or don’t) give our dogs.

Dog training isn’t some big finish line you reach one day. It’s the way you live with your dog every day.

And the cool part? Once owners start seeing that shift… things usually get a whole lot easier for both ends of the leash.

Curious which mindset shift hit home for you most? 👇🏼🐾

One thing people don’t always realize about dog training…

The dogs are only half of it.

What really fills my cup is the owners who stay invested in the process. Not just during training, but after their dog goes home.

The ones who ask questions.
Who read the long go-home booklet I spent hours putting together.
Who send texts like “we just had our best walk ever.”
Who tag me in their progress posts weeks or months later.
Who bring their dog back for boarding and it’s obvious they kept up with the training at home.

That’s the stuff that makes this work meaningful. Because the goal was never for your dog to only listen to me — it’s for you to build a better relationship with your dog and feel confident handling them in everyday life.

So when I see owners actually applying the things we worked on… that’s the real win. Those moments remind me why I love doing what I do.

I’m grateful for the clients who truly show up for their dogs 🤎

Your dog didn’t forget their training.
And your Board & Train didn’t “wear off.”

What usually happens is much quieter — and way more common.

Here’s how owners unknowingly undo progress once their dog comes home:

• Dropping consistency with the “small things.”
Letting them blast through doors, pull “sometimes,” eat before permission — those moments matter more than people realize.

• Repeating commands without follow-through.
Every extra “sit… sit… SIT” teaches your dog that listening is optional.

• Expecting training to be “done.”
Board & Train builds the foundation. Real life is where it’s maintained.

• Too much freedom, too fast.
Sleeping in the bed immediately, zero crating, full house access — freedom should be earned, not handed back all at once.

• Avoiding stressful moments instead of working through them.
Confidence isn’t built by avoidance. It’s built by guidance inside the hard moments.

• Feeling guilty about structure.
If you were used to no rules before, structure can look harsh.
But for dogs, clarity = calm. Place, boundaries, and routine are what actually help their nervous system settle.

Structure isn’t mean.
Consistency isn’t cruel.
And leadership isn’t the opposite of love.

If post-training life feels harder than expected — you’re not failing.
You’re still learning just as your dog is, but these are some of the key points you should focus on if things seem like they’re falling apart.
