***IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT***
I am so excited to announce DoubleD Creek Ranch's Ultimate Young Dog Trainer's Summer Camp finally, I have been working on this for a year! I have built a summer camp for kids to learn about dog training and dog sports!
~There are only 6 spots available, so mark your calendars for when enrollment opens Feb 1st at 7 a.m.~

Training Sessions will be run by myself, a Certified Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) with a decade of experience training dogs, and multiple dogs titled in different dog sports. I am an AKC CGC & ATT evaluator, and Farm Dog Judge.

You can choose to participate in all 3 weeks, but are required to do week 1 before being allowed in the other 2 sport weeks. We will assign one of our lesson dogs to each participant for the week, those who enroll in all 3 weeks will be able to keep their dog assignment for the entirety.

I received a inquiry regarding board and train. There was a lot that gave me pause.
1. Its strange to send 2 dogs to someone you've never met at a facility you've not seen.
2. This occurred all over text, so he didn't even call to speak to me.
3. A private driver is bringing dogs? Why not wait until you're in town so you can meet me? A driver? Not a dog sitter? Or spouse?
Then I called the number, he barely spoke English and my best guess is an African accent (lots of languages in Africa so hard to narrow it down beyond that). I asked for an email address to get him to fill out my forms before giving my full name/address bc clearly was a scam but I wanted to be 100%.
Then I get actext about paying his driver him out of the $ he sends.

So here's the scam, he sends me the $, I pay the driver by zelle. Most likely he'd use stolen credit card, the card owner would report the charges as fraud and the payment be reversed but not before I $$ to his private driver.

This scam is used on small businesses, they make the amount of $ they'll spend attractive so you don't want to turn down the business, they ask you to do a favor bc they're not available to pay someone else and as a thank you they'll throw in a little extra. You give $ to that person that can't be challenged as fraud lateral eventually the $$ you received gets reversed. Remember criminals work hard to find new ways. If it doesn't feel right be careful dont be so eager for business you ignore red flags.
I personally wouldn't want to train dogs without knowing the owner is available to do private sessions before they leave. Even if this wasn't a scam, I would not work with an owner who isn't interested in knowing what they'll need to do to up keep the training.

First training session with Luna and her mom. Luna was evaluated by me before at . She's since been adopted. We are working on a few quirks and for everyone's safety muzzle training is our first step. This was our first session, what a smart girl!

When I designed my logo as a circle it was intentional. We talk about balanced training all the time, we talk about balanced nutrition as though it's separate from training... it is not. How you feel influences behavior. Sometimes it can be altered through diet changes, other times we may need something more to help with anxiety or hormone imbalances.
I prefer to try natural God given remedies before going to expensive medications.

I have made herbal tinctures to address anxiety and hormone imbalances.

Lemonbalm/Holy Basil for anxiety
Raspberry leaf for female hormone balance
Valerian Root for situations requiring stronger calming (i.e. storms, fireworks, etc).

These will be available to my DoubleD Creek Ranch clients!

I typically only make these for myself and SD clients I train. Lately I've been asked about my harnesses.
Over a decade of SD handling I've spent tons of $ on gear that my dogs out grew or didn't fit right.
This harness is designed to grow with your dog. Designed to adjust at the shoulder, the chest, the saddle cinch (adjusts is 2 ways and can easily be sent in to be remade if outgrown), the optional rear latigo.
The saddle cinch and rear latigo have cobra buckles, with the saddle cinch also having a brass buckle and slider to adjust 2 ways for perfect fit. With a removable pull strap and permanent Counterbalance strap.
This one is made in lavender/mint of standard (2.5mm) and heavy (4mm) biothane.

$185 w/o rear latigo
$220 w/ rearvlatigo
(Price based on a 30-39 inch girth)
