Cookie is a 2.5 year old highly trained, versatile family companion. She has a happy, people pleasing disposition and a wide variety of skills. Cookie has been in training as part of my household since she was 8 weeks old. Cookie is great with little kiddos and used to having a baby in the home. She is calm, tolerant, respectful of boundaries, and content being the center of attention or quietly observing out of the way. She will sneak in a lick to baby’s face on occasion.
Cookie is a good traveler. She has been on multiple family vacations, family reunions, holidays, and more. Cookie is good in the car and good in unfamiliar homes/ hotels. Cookie is also a very enjoyable dinner date and errand buddy. Although Cookie is always ready for anything, she is content being left alone at home and has always been well behaved for the petsitter.
Cookie’s lifestyle and training has been intertwined with other animals including chickens, goats, cats, horses, and other dogs since puppyhood. She is trustworthy with all. Cookie has been used to move our small herd of goats, or a single stinky buck, from one pen or pasture to another and is consistently easy to communicate with to get the job done.
Cookie is a great trail riding companion. She has lead me and my horse on rides at home and in the mountains. She does not stray and is always listening for directions from me in the saddle. Her presence always makes my horse les spooky. Cookie hangs out patiently for tacking and untacking, grooming, etc.
Cookie has been used as a demo dog to show my clients end goal training behaviors and to help rehabilitate dog-reactive pets. She can quietly ignore another dog while it learns new behaviors or bounce around as an irresistible distraction to proof their training. Just ask.
Cookie has been lightly started this spring in bikejoring and can do 5 miles at a good pace but she is just as happy to pull me to the mailbox at the end of the road and back.
Cookie does have bitework training and a good foundation with well timed counters and deep grip through basic training pressures and distractions. She does have some sensitivities that affect her level of engagement on the bite in some environments so is better suited as a deterrent dog. She does possess an intense bark.
Cookie is a beautiful, affectionate, well mannered, athletic, and social girl that is ready for anything. She has been there, done that, and gotten the t-shirt. Because of her temperament she is well suited for a wide variety of handlers, households, and experience levels. If you want an imposing looking guardian that is trustworthy around all living things this is the girl for you. If you think she would be a good fit for you or your household please call me at 336-642-9818 to learn more.

*Included in Cookie’s price is a local handling course demonstrating how best to utilize her extensive training, a personalized handbook for referencing her specific training, and all of the gear and equipment used while in my training program. Delivery is recommended and available for an extra fee.

Penny: Trained Companion Puppy
Goldendoodle Female

Penny has completed her training program and is a perfect pet, ready to fill a special spot in someone’s life. She has a happy go lucky, sweet, calm, and outgoing personality. If I had to choose one word to describe penny it would be kind. She meets new people, including children very politely and likes to offer them a paw for a shake. She also meets new dogs very politely but doesn’t feel the need to meet or react to every dog she comes across.
Penny is EASY. Easy to live with, to take to the park, downtown, dinner, greenways, festivals, brunch, breweries, car rides, bike rides, hotels, live music venues, etc etc. I joke and say she is completely patio trained, meaning when she realizes we’re approaching tables and chairs she finds a shady spot under the table and lays down for a nap even before everyone else is seated. As long as she is in the shade she stays put and does not have to be reminded to stay “down”. Often when we’re all done and leaving the wait staff is shocked there was a dog at all. Penny is very quiet and content in any situation.

Penny’s leash training is stellar. She walks on leash like a dream, even hands free. She is content sticking with her handler at any pace on a loose leash. Penny has solid obedience training, potties on command, is crate trained, house trained, waits patiently to enter/ exit the home and vehicles, to eat her food, and gets along perfectly with other household pets including dogs, cats, and the occasional bottle baby goat we keep indoors. She has been exposed to chickens, adult goats, horses, and even met a llama superbly over mother’s day weekend. At this time she doesn’t have a huge interest in toys but likes to kick around things that make lots of noise, like rattly cat toys or metal bowls. She has great food motivation and kibble has been her training reward in my program.
Penny has no bad habits like jumping up, counter surfing, or chewing on things in the home. She is not allowed on the furniture and is 100% okay with it. Her favorite treats are Himalayan Dog Chews and blueberries.

Penny does not shed and has consistently been great for all aspects of grooming including nail trimming, bathing, drying with the forced air dryer, brushing, clipping, scissoring, and ear plucking.

SOLD

Cody: Psychiatric Service Dog
Labrador Retriever Male
1 year 10 months old
Delivered to DC Area

Cody was sourced for a client and began training at 8 weeks of age to meet his handler’s specific needs. Cody is confident, social, and highly motivated for ALL aspects of service dog training. Cody has extreme handler focus and works happily for a ball, kibble, and praise.
Cody coexists with other dogs, cats, goats, and chickens without issue. Cody loves to play and has a lot of energy but settles on command in the home and transitions into working mode easily, both in and out of harness.
Cody's task training includes blocking front, back, and either side of his handler on command, disassociation recognition and response (tactile stimulation), deep pressure therapy to aid his handler as a grounding technique, and room clearing.
Cody received extensive public access training including exposure to the new world and lifestyles associated with Covid-19. He is wonderfully prepared for a work from home lifestyle but always ready to go too. Cody is a great traveler and possesses behaviors essential for any service dog. These behaviors include heeling, automatic tucking, maintaining handler focus, advanced obedience, using the bathroom on command, and ignoring inquirers or fans.
Cody and I were very lucky to work with a handler just a few hours away and we were able to coordinate training days in NC and DC while Cody grew and matured in the service dog training program.

Neo: Personal Protection Dog & Family Companion
Belgian Malinois Male
2 years old
Delivered to Cleveland Ohio Area

Neo comes from a long lineage of highly successful PSA competitors including multiple PSA3s, National Champions, and Hall of Fame K9s (See Pedigree) and possesses some of the very best qualities the breed has to offer. His genetic gifts have been nurtured with care and he is a wonderfully social and lovable young dog. He is confident in any environment, well traveled, trustworthy with cats, livestock, and poultry, good with children, and is fun to have as part of my household. Neo is neutral to other dogs but can be a pest during outside playtime with some dogs.

Neo has advanced level obedience training and is reliable off leash. He has very high food and toy drive and is happy to follow through with known behaviors or learn new things for both. Neo plays fetch and loves swimming. He is always ready to go go go but settles easily and can be a couch potato when asked. He is great on leash and lots of fun to take everywhere. He has been to festivals, baseball games, in and out of hotels, PSA events, pet friendly stores, etc. He can be easily handled by a novice but would do best with a handler that has some experience training and handling dogs or is serious about learning. Neo would make a perfect demo dog, AKC sporting events competitor, versatile protection dog and companion, or protection sports competitor. Ideal person for Neo is someone who has had more exposure to dogs than simply residing in a home with a family pet and appreciates a dog with tons of motivation and potential.

Neo really shines in protection work. He lights up on command and comes in fast and hits hard with a deep, calm, pushing grip to the decoy. He could make someone a really nice sport dog if they wanted to get into PSA or IGP. Neo has been worked out by most of the decoys located in North Carolina.

Neo’s price includes delivery and handling course. Neo can also be trained to fit your specific needs for an additional fee. Neo has potential as an ESA or Psychiatric Service Dog for the right able bodied person. If you are interested in having him join your family and would like more information please feel free to contact me. Contact Krista

I often place her beside a chair or under a table and tell her to stay. She will not take food from other people, she will not react to them trying to call her, she won't even play with them. She absolutely will not move until I come back for her. 

She LOVES the water. Swims with confidence, jumps right in when I let her.

She is a happy and generally low-key puppy. She is naturally alert and aware of her surroundings but doesn't feel the need to investigate everything or be constantly stimulated. She is content just hanging out with her people or our other pets. Medium drive, medium energy level.

Terra from the southland      
GERMAN SHEPHERD FEMALE    
AGE: 8 MONTHS 

Terra has been with me since she was just a few weeks old. She is from Southland Dog Sports and joined my training program and family motivated to learn and eager to please. Now, at 8 months old she is training in advanced off leash obedience, excelling in protection work, and showing incredible determination and drive while being a sweet, social, and growing, puppy. Terra is very smart and enjoys training. She a high drive puppy and motivated to give everything 110%. Terra is always up for a physical or mental challenge.

Terra respects puppy gates and is great at staying off the furniture and away from counter tops. Terra is a very social dog while out and about. She adores meeting new people and we come across admirers everywhere we go.

Terra is a born protection/sport dog. She has phenomenal endurance and a well developed bite. She has not been taught to out yet. She latched onto a bite suit at 3 months old.

My favorite things about Terra are the things that cannot be taught or trained. The first being Terra is naturally very aware of her surroundings and always soaking up information. Wether in a car, a parking lot, hotel, park, etc, Terra is surveying what is going on around her with confidence. She has been put through many different types of scenario based protection exercises and has never backed down from a new challenge. I love how versatile this puppy is and the effort she puts into whatever is being asked of her.  

Although Terra is truly an impressive female puppy I have decided to part with her because she isn't the best fit for my breeding program. She has a lot of energy and posses the potential to be a real competitor on the sport field and is well on her way to being a formidable personal protection dog. The sky is the limit with this girl! Further training and support is always available.

The most important requirement for all of the canines I offer for sale is that they possess excellent health and an appropriate temperament for their future as a pet or working dog.

From this foundation I develop the dog's workability and versatility for the tasks they will be appointed to. German Shepherd Dogs and Puppies are available from my breeding program. I have 1 litter per year typically in spring or summer.  
Other breeds are acquired from trusted breeder's programs in the USA. Training programs are limited in size to ensure each dog receives the dedication and personal attention necessary to guarantee a high level of training and continued reliability. 
Consistent one-on-one training and individualized conditioning is paramount to any dogs' success.

Young, Trained Dogs are available throughout the year & Fully Trained Adult Dogs are available occasionally. Contact me for availability.
