Meet my Pack!!

Rye, Ranger, and Brucey. Or as I like to call them, the Tiny Terrors. Ranger came to me about 4 years ago via a Facebook Marketplace rescue situation. Brucey came next, about 2 years later after being surrendered to the animal shelter I worked at, and last but not least about a year ago we got the tiny tornado, Rye. That was an on purpose accident. (I wanted her and begged my boyfriend until he caved, lol). These three are the light of my life and the reason I get out of bed in the morning. I learn important qualities from all of them, everyday. Ranger is my loyal soldier and would march into battle for me if I asked him to. He’s agreeable and kind and very opinionated. Rye has more drive than most people I know, and would work for me until she collapsed if the need ever arose. I point and she does, and she’s also extremely intuitive and forward (that girl ain’t afraid of nothin). Brucey is absolutely the most hardheaded being i’ve ever met but he’s also routine oriented, sensitive, and strong willed.

These guys make doing what I do a hobby as much as a career, which keeps me engaged and loving what I do, and it also keeps me up to date with real life problems you may face at home with your own pack. I love being a dog owner, (I haven’t always) and I’d love to help you love it too with the help of some basic training and relationship foundation work. I could not manage a pack of three without really solid expectations and communication and I can help you achieve the same healthy relationship with your dogs, too. Contact me today to find out how!

Got to go and visit a dear old friend of mine… Miss Pauline! I met Pauline 4 years ago at my first ever kennel job and back then this girl was a handful. Known for her “CPR hands” as we call them, she will excessively bang on and jump on things she wants to get to - toys, the fence, so forth. She’s also recently started being not so nice to her canine siblings when passing other dogs while walking, but after a quick obedience briefing (another great trainer im aqauinted with had already done extensive work with her, she just needed a freshen up) she is rocking and rolling and ready to work! I was able to guide them in the commands she already knows and now she will be working on leash skills boot camp until she’s ready to walk with her siblings again. So greatful to see this girl balanced and living in a loving home, she has come so far since I last saw her and it’s truly like seeing an old friend. Miss Pauline, I am thrilled to work with you and so excited to see how far we can come together!
