Thursday evening snapshots! Who do you see?! 🐾

Welcome, Winnie! 🐾 Winnie is a 10 month old Standard Poodle who arrived today for a board & train!

What a cute baby 🥹🫧 Thanks for the kind words, Vicky!

Congratulations, Penny (& Kayla)! 🎓 This is a special graduation post. Most of the time, you will only see the dog pictured in the graduation post… But today we are extremely proud of the progress that this young lady made as a handler! We started with an aggressive, pushy, Basset Hound, and finished with a confident, obedient, off leash trained sweet pup with an owner who made the biggest improvement we have seen in as long time! Way to go Kayla & Penny! 💪🏼💪🏼

Happy Wednesday from Diesel! Only 2 days left of his 10-Day Day-Train! He can’t wait to show his Momma all of his new skills! 💪🏻🐾

Gabby Lou, Milo, and MoJo came for grooming yesterday! We love this cute trio! 🫧🐾

Welcome, Freya! 🐾 Freya is an 8 month old Siberian Husky who arrived today for a board & train! Freya is the 2nd dog from her household to come for training- You may remember her Great Dane brother, Scoob! We know Freya will soar this week!
