As the minutes tick away to the close of not only this year, but this decade, I am among the many who feel the need to reflect. I’ve been struggling to sum up my feelings in a succinct yet profound way. I like words, all of them. I am told I have a knack for them. My feelings about 2019 drawing to a close can be summed up in only two.
No, not those two. Those two words work for other years.
As 2019 closes my overwhelming feeling is THANK YOU.
- Thank you to my family for supporting the beautiful chaos that is my life and for being of this earth.
- Thank you to my friends for showing up when the chips were down and allowing me to return the favor.
- Thank you to my assistant trainer who I didn’t realize I needed but now can’t imagine my business without.
- Thank you to my clients who have become another family and continue to help our pack grow.
- Thank you to my students for all the challenges and triumphs you provide.
- Thank you to my dogs who love me unconditionally and inspire me to become the person they think I am.
- Thank you to my body for pushing through 47 years of abuse to keep me putting one foot in front of the other every single day.
- Thank you to the tribe that keeps me afloat; body, mind and soul.
- Thank you to winemakers and modern pharmacology because obvi.
- Thank you to the very air that I breathe in freedom and liberty in the great US of A.
- Thank you to God for making all things possible.
Thank you.
May 2020 bring clear vision of the path to success. Much love to one and all.

As usual, your words inspire me, and I am proud, and honored, to be a part of this awesome pack you have started💖 Thank YOU for the love, and devotion, you give to each of the dogs under your tutelage. Your confidence has encouraged me to really “listen” to what Harper needs, and it has made a world of difference in our relationship. In the beginning of our student/teacher relationship, you were hard core in your quest to make me confident in my ability to communicate with my girl, and darn it…that is just what I needed…even though I didn’t realize it at the time!!! Tehya still corrects me for being, too, lenient, but hey, I’m a work in progress and will, likely, never be the task master that she is when it comes to Harps’ obedience. I’m so excited to see where 2020 takes us as a pack💖

So glad we found you and are part of your pack! It has made such a difference to our dogs, especially Tucker. We look forward to the pack walks and playtime! And I think Tucker really does love you!

Thank you Mia! Our lives are forever changed from working with you and we love our pack more than words can ever say. The community you have created is truly invaluable and we look forward to all of our continuing growth in 2020! XOXO, CJ & Toby

Hi Mia.
Hope this new year finds you doing well and enjoying life!
Wondering if you have any dog training in the Carlise/Dillsburg area? Asking for my 5 mo “Tucker” terrier/chihuahua mix who is extremely hyper, but loving. Wants to eat EVERYTHING – even non-food items (like an AA battery!). He has a bad habit of jumping on people and also even jumping at your face if you are seated!
Thanks! 😊

I am interested in having training for my 4 year old standard poodle, Bella. My next door neighbor, Alison, recommended you. I was told about your half tuition special you have going regarding the Eagles game on Monday. Go Eagles!
Looking forward to hearing from you.
