Drop-ins should be more than just a quick 'hello.' It's a chance to invest in the happiness of someone's best friend. Since childhood I've loved training our family's Golden Retrievers and Labs. In college we got my grandmother a German Shepherd and I quickly fell in love with his character and charm and he took good care of her for many years - except on the days when I stole him for a campout in the hammock. Puppies were always a wonderful opportunity to shape a wonderful dog for those few short months. And when I adopted a young neglected Husky with severe separation anxiety I really began to understand that I was the one being trained. He and the many fosters I took in after him have challenged me to think beyond tricks and good manners to the heart and happiness of the dog. To what really makes a bond. I took everything they taught me and jumped headlong onto the world of doodles and worked with a great team to train service dogs. And before I could process what had happened I was elbow deep in puppy shampoo, uti's and wet noses. And I love it. I hope I can take what would normally be a boring drop-in and give you peace of mind with consistent care and engaging opportunities for your pups with the added bonus of foundational training techniques and fun.
