New Face in for Puppy Imprinting
Old friends and new furry faces. Some of of our good friends/past clients visited the dojo this morning to get puppy imprinting started with their brand new GSD ‘Cheaua’. I Have been blessed to meet many awesome individuals throughout my dog journey and it’s so fun to have clients return with new puppies ready for another adventure...looking forward to seeing this team grow with their new addition! #puppyimprinting #germanshepherdpuppy #yurtlife #dogtrainingmissoula

A Barking Shepherd at 4am = a Buffoon In His Underwear with a Loaded Gun
I have lived with Shepherds pretty much my whole life. I just love their style. They are easy to train, loyal and they come equipped with a built in security system. I have spent many nights sleeping soundly in the backcountry with my dogs knowing that if I NEEDED to be awake - they would sound the alarm. At 4am on June 29th 2017 that particular security system was tested... June 29th, 2017 was an important day for a lot of reasons. It was my wife's birthday. It was also her
