Meet My Pack!
Milo my Doberman was my first dog, and where my love of training began at a young age. She got me through the death of my dad when I was five, and opened my eyes to the healing, and helpful aspects that dogs provide.
Rocky recently passed away at age 15, and was the best companion that any girl could wish for. He was deaf, and gave me experience with working with a disabled canine. I always got complimented for his calm demeanor, and how amazing he was. Truthfully, I can attribute this to amazing genetics, and temperament with the help of training. He taught me that an old dog CAN learn new tricks, and unconditional love knows no bounds, even after his trip to the rainbow bridge.
Sadie is my heart, soul, and world. I rescued her from a neglection situation at 5 months old. She was riddled with sarcoptic mange, ring worm, and mosquito bites from living only outside in the summer with no shelter. After hard work, and dedication in socialization, and training, I felt confident to start her as a service dog in training. Not long after we were attacked by four neighborhood off leash dogs while on a bike ride, and she developed major dog reactivity, and had to be washed from service work. At age 4 she was diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disease that almost took her life. Despite infrequent relapses, she is doing much better now. She has shown and taught me unconditional love, and patience, along with a lot of newfound knowledge on canine health.
Indie my Sheltie has brought a level of fun and patience to my experience as a dog trainer. We enjoy doing agility, treibball, and scent work together. True to her breed, she is a huge barker, and sings everyone the song of her people. I started her as a service dog in training at age 1, but put her training on hold up until recently at age 4, as she was in her prime crazy stage. I have learned a great deal from her, especially how much I love dog sports.
Tatum’s name means: cheerful bringer of joy, and that is the epitome of his being. He is the first dog that I got with the intent of training as a service dog from the beginning. He passed his public access test the day he was old enough, and has excelled in every aspect of training. He is my dream dog in every way including training, goofiness, temperament, and overall demeanor. He’s blown away all training goals I had set for him, and has been the most fun, and easy dog to train. Say it louder for the people in the back. I LOVE GOLDEN RETRIEVERS! He is my traveling ray of sunshine, and anyone who meets him falls in love instantly. I think he was saved for last, because I had to go through all the trials I’ve had with my other dogs before being given such an easy dog.
Lastly, Lincoln, my kitty is basically a dog, and I would feel bad not including him. He is the most even tempered and trainable cat I’ve come across, which is why I adopted him from the shelter. I knew he would get along well with my other dogs. He knows a great deal of tricks that my dogs know, and has shown me that cats are more than furry overlords. His recall, and drive to perform tricks outweighs some of my dogs. Cats are trainable, and can live outside of the norms that society has placed on them.
