I can’t believe I’ve gone this long without posting about my little fur baby, Granger! As many of you probably know, I am a crazy dog momma – I love that pup as if she was my own. I mean, she is my own, but you know what I mean! Like all repressed youths, I must blame my overzealous love for dogs on my parents who refused to let me have one from age 10 – 22 (all joking aside, they have totally embraced her since the first time she laid her sweet puppy eyes on them!).

Well, Granger has had a big milestone so I thought she deserved her own post! We’ve been taking her to training courses with Petsmart since she was just a puppy. She isn’t that great at meeting other dogs on her leash, so we just wanted her to be interacting and engaged as much as possible. So after all that, about 36 classes over 2 years, she finally earned her big degree — being a “Canine Good Citizen”. This is a program designed by the AKC that requires dogs to pass a series of 10 tests, proving they have good manners at home and in public.

Now I’ll be the first to say, she still has some crazy in her. If she sees a little critter, bike, motorcycle… be prepared to brace yourself! But all in all, we got super lucky — she has only ever chewed up ONE thing, doesn’t go potty in the house, and doesn’t even need to be a crate when we leave– all at the young age of 2. In exchange, she is spoiled rotten!

All that being said, I love ALL dogs. If you are ever interested in bringing your pet to one of our sessions, please reach out to me and we will definitely work them in!
