Dang puppy teeth got me right under the finger nail. Someone needs to learn to be more gentle lol.

Added a new one to the lineup! 🐾

I picked up some Full Moon Air-Dried Dog Food to go along with my normal Caledon Farms Freeze-Dried Dog Treats.

The Full Moon food is technically made to be used as a regular meal, but it works really well as training treats too. Plus, it’s a pretty healthy option for the dogs.

They’ve been a HUGE hit so far, and all the dogs absolutely love them! 😂🐶

Highly recommend! 👍

🐾 Hey everyone, meet Gus!! 🐾

Gus is with me for a 30 Day Board & Train focused primarily on puppy training and helping him develop some better manners, impulse control, and understanding of the rules.

His main issues right now are:

• Jumping on people
• Light mouthing
• Stealing things he shouldn’t have and running away with them because he knows he’s not supposed to have them 😂
• Not really understanding the word “No”
• Basically zero impulse control 😂

While he’s here, we’ll also be working on:

• General socialization
• Leash work
• Recall
• Building a better grasp of behaviors he already knows
• Overall manners
• Threshold etiquette — waiting for permission before entering or exiting doorways, including his own crate
• Crating himself on command
• The art of being calm
• Balanced discipline and structure

Gus has already proven to be quite the character. He’s too smart for his own good, a little bit of a brat, and maybe just a touch manipulative. 😂 But honestly, that’s pretty typical of the really smart ones!

He’s a field-bred Golden Retriever from some great bloodlines, so he’s pretty much genetically engineered to be trainable — just the way I like them. 😎

I’m expecting big things from this guy, and I’m sure he’ll be quite an impressive young man by the time his 30 days are up!

Stay tuned for updates on Gus and his progress. 🐕💪

Willow finished up her 14-Day Board & Train and reunited with her family yesterday evening! 🐾

She’s officially back home and ready to put all the new skills she learned with me into practice. Now it’s time for her family to continue working with her and build on everything we accomplished together over the last two weeks.

Great job, Willow! 🐶👏

Buddy and Betty are back with me for a little boarding stay while their owner is off on a trip! 🐾❤️

These two hold a special place in my heart. Back in 2025, I worked with them through a pretty intense rehabilitation and training program. They were extremely fearful of just about everything, basically feral, and had never really learned how to just be dogs.

We had to start from the ground up — teaching them how to trust people, how to experience new things, and ultimately how to just enjoy being dogs.

Fast forward to today, and they continue to come back to board with me at least once a year. Seeing how much happier, more confident, and more comfortable they are now compared to where they started is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

I absolutely love getting to have these two out here with me again. They’ve come such a long way, and it’s always a reminder of why I love this job. ❤️🐶🐶

Do I have anyone who would want a free dog collar? I will never use this one, so if anyone wants it you can have it. Just message me and it’s yours.
