Before all your New Year’s celebrations start, I just wanted to wish all my followers and clients a 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗬 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗬𝗘𝗔𝗥! Thank you to everyone that has used my business, followed my page, shared my posts, tagged me in posts or recommended me over the (nearly) 19 years.
I began training in 2004 at Happy, Clean and Smart and started my business in August, 2011. Each year just gets better and better. I’ve attended a lot of schools, workshops, seminars and courses and I am so grateful to learn from some of the best in the country.
I became certified through a few different organizations and then stayed with the groups that aligned with my training styles.
As I learned more about dog anatomy, nutrition, engagement, relaxation and sports and how to use various training aids that can either help or hurt a dog (immediately or long term), my goal is to help educate all of you on what I learned and experimenting with the best method(s) to help you and your dog(s).
We will continue our pack walks each month. And we love offering therapy dog testing and volunteering each month.
I did a podcast for a few months-looking at bringing that back-I have a lot to say-HAHA. I did social plays for awhile and while I loved that, the training demands took more of my time and the weekend boarding requests made that difficult to continue.
I truly love my on-the-go and games classes and will continue to offer new classes so that you can keep having fun with your dogs.
I LOVE getting pictures of you and your dogs on vacation, achieving training goals or learning a new command! The fact that you thought to include me just makes my heart happy!
I really do think about a lot of you and your dogs before bed at night. I even wake up and stop myself from texting you at 3 am to see how your dog did at the vet or how your dog is doing after graduation or even, is everything OK, you missed the last few classes.
I love my job, I love my clients, I love the dogs and I love waking up each day doing what I love.
You’ve made a dream come true. I’ve grown as a business owner, trainer, mentor and educator. And I am still learning each year.
I am thankful, grateful and blessed for all of you.
Thank you again, and have a wonderful night, whether it’s out celebrating or staying at home with your pets.
Let’s make some great dog memories in 2025.
