Dog Training

Getting your dog to be a very good dog in a human centric world can be tough!  Let our dog whisperer help you with everything from the ins and outs of a new puppy to basic obedience and behavior modification.  Our trainer studied under the mother of the service dog, Bonnie Bergin. We want all the best things for your pup and train that way too. You won’t find prong or shock collars here, but you will find ways to deepen your bond and communicate better with your best friend. This makes for happy owners and pups!

Dream Team

Coda

Coda met Gretchen in 2011 when she came to see the cute puppies.  It was love at first site and she took him home for a weekend to see if it would work out.  Well it’s been a long weekend and they’ve been together ever since.  Coda is a large golden retriever mix coming in at 95 pounds and is the very best good boy ever.  He has been a dog model for Gretchen’s budding photography career.  Coda recently became a tripod dog after a fibrous mass ate away at his femur necessitating amputation.  He loves swimming, tennis balls, his brother, and most of all his mom.  You can follow his three pawed adventures on Instagram @theverybestgoodboyevery.

Gretchen

She started pet sitting for her professors in college 15 years ago.   Pet have ranged from big and small dogs, to cats, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, and chinchillas.  Beyond years of experience, Gretchen has been a lifelong animal lover.  She asked for a puppy for Christmas every year of her childhood.  While she never got that puppy, she did start volunteering at the local animal shelter.  She knows the stress of leaving her critters when she has to be away from home and would love to meet your family to help put your mind at ease, so you can have safe relaxing travels.

Bam

Formally Aiden Bam Chomas, Bam has been living with Gretchen since 2007.  He is an extremely affectionate tuxedo cat who also happens to have the appetite of a tiger.  He has traveled all over the country with his mom in the “torture box” and is happy she has settled down for a while in Spokane.  He enjoys hanging out with his brother, Coda, sleeping on top of his mom, and eating.
