Thank you Barbara Turpin for playing with Wicka so I was able to get some pictures.

Hades on his way to earning his Instinct and Novice scent detection titles.
Boudica earned her Instinct title

Had a great day working on a commercial 😊
Got to work with Jimmy today, everyone loved him and he worked awesome(his mom Barbara Hansen has put a lot of time into training him).

Great dog, nice people and good food what’s not to love!?

Will share the commercial once it’s released

Working at my desk on lesson plans for classes well everyone else chills.
Malinois next to my desk, Amstaff in crates chewing on bones and Charlie in the bed on my pillow 😊

🎥 Casting call‼️🎥
Looking for a large dog with a great cued speak (that means they can do it every time you ask) and must be quiet the moment they’re asked after barking.
Not easy for every dog but there’s gotta be a few that have it 😊
Please send pics and video to me if you have such a dog and are interested in having them do a scene on a tv series 🎬

Location: Vancouver, Lower Mainland or Fraser Valley

Thank you 😊

My idea of preparing Christmas dinner 🎄😋

Up at 3 this morning to arrive for crew breakfast at 6 before my call time of 7 am
Working on a commercial shoot today out front of the Vancouver Art Gallery.
Been a long time since I’ve been in Vancouver even though I don’t live that far away.
Working with a friends dog Cooper. He’s a cute and clever little guy.
He rocked his scene and hoping to be wrapped by noon 🤞

Roommates‼️
So my roomies where up at 3 this morning having a party 😩 They tried pulling my blankets off to get me to come join them 😡
They finally went back to sleep but now they probably are going to sleep on and off for the rest of the day. They had promised to help clean our room but they’re really never helpful 🤪 They’re always wanting to borrow my clothes. Even when I’m wearing them🙄
If I’m not careful about putting my stuff away they’ll steal it 😳
When I try to talk to them about it they just look at me and act all innocent. They make me feel like it’s me that has the problem 🤷‍♀️
It’s a good thing that they are so incredibly cute or they would have already received an eviction notice 🤣🤣🤣

If you struggling with a roommate/s like this follow along for helpful puppy management and training tips.

I have been truly blessed to share my life with some amazing dogs.
They’re all different but all special in their own way.

Some of my accomplishments with my dogs.
Unfortunately I lost a number of photos when my Facebook account was hacked and deleted last month.
