Ted

Ted is a 97 lb, 7 year old German Shepard/Redbone Coonhound mixed breed.  
​He passed his Canine Good Citizen test in March 2015, Therapy Dog test in August 2016, and Novice Dog Trick Title in 2020.  He was rescued from a "high kill" shelter in Tennessee and transported to Wisconsin as a puppy.  Ted is patient, gentle and has a nose for balancing emotional changes in humans.

Fun Fact: He has a white marking on the top of his head that represents a heart!
Josey is a 2 year old Great Pyrenees/Treeing Walking Coonhound mixed breed.  She was rescued from Arkansas and transported to Dane County Humane Society as a 2 month old puppy.  She is a playful, curious young dog who loves to use her nose to find treats, bugs, and chipmunks hiding in the rocks around the play yard (the dirt on her nose gives it away!).  Josey passed her Canine Good Citizen test in June 2021 and earned a Novice Dog Trick Title.

What Our Clients Are Saying:

I bought a puppy knowing I wanted to train it to be an emotional support dog.  I couldn't attend group dog training classes because I got too nervous and my dog wouldn't listen to me, I thought I had an untrainable dog.  After working with you for several weeks I had no idea the potential my dog had! I truly did not even know my OWN potential, thank you"
I got a dog to help lower stress in our family, not make it more stressful by trying to train the puppy. With your knowledge of symptoms of anxiety in both my kids and myself, and dog training, you were able to give us doable exercises that both the kids and the puppy truly enjoy, and have made all of our lives so much better!
