We provide these sheltered dogs with well-deserved time outside of the shelter to play and run around, while receiving proper training from a team of dog-lovers.
We support our area shelters to help dogs find forever homes, especially Young Williams. Most shelters do not have the space or resources to focus on behavior and training, so we help provide the shelters with that resource.
We exclusively use positive reinforcement for shaping or changing a dog's behavior. Our core value is canine well-being and safety.

📚 Training Lingo: Shake 📚 Teaching your dog to shake hands is a fun trick that also helps with their coordination! Here’s how to do it:
💙 Start by having your dog sit.
💙 Gently lift one of their paws while saying “Shake” and reward with a treat.
💙 Repeat this several times, and soon they’ll associate the command with the action.
💙 Practice regularly and use positive reinforcement to reinforce the behavior.
Get ready to shake things up! 🐾✨
Anna had the joy of working with sweet Lego this week! 🐾 They spent time channeling her playful energy and mastering basic commands. Lego is a resilient pup from the Humane Society of Tennessee Valley who, despite her heartbreaking past—being rehomed twice and even found tied to a tree—still has so much love to give. She’s ready to leave her sad story behind and start a new chapter filled with love and happiness. 💙

TRUTH: While some dogs arrive at shelters with health issues, shelters do a fantastic job of ensuring they’re healthy and ready for adoption. 🐶 Every dog gets a health screening, vaccinations, and is spayed/neutered. 🐾💙
