Raising Puppies: A Family's Heartwarming Journey

And, yes! Most of the time, we all have our hands full (of puppies).

My kids, Lucas and Stella, are trainers in training. They always cuddle and teach the puppies how to interact appropriately. For me, it is intense work, sleepless nights, lots of cleaning, scratches, bites, and a labor of love. Every time a puppy goes to its new home, there is excitement but lots of tears and goodbyes.

Our family teaches the puppies how to develop into loving family companions, while the puppies teach us how to love more and serve the community.

Meet Our Fur Family

It all started with our two dogs, Holly-Hugs, the English Golden Retriever, and Tiny Tina, the teacup Yorkie. Unfortunately, Holly passed away in 2022 at 14 years of age. We then added Neve, an F1B Goldendoodle, who quickly became Tina’s best buddy. They continue helping us teach the pups dog language, a critical socialization step of a pup’s development.

” If you want a puppy to share your home, look for a puppy that has been raised and trained in a home.”

Family Oriented Program

Every puppy that enters our program becomes part of our family pack.
The puppies are boarded and trained in the family environment to get them
ready to join their next family.

Exclusive

Because we work in our home and want to ensure each puppy receives the attention it needs to develop into an excellent companion, we only train a few puppies at a time.

Passion

We love working with dogs and helping other people as a result. It is so gratifying to see other families’ happiness and know that our friendship circle expands every day.

Affordability

Our program is affordable compared to many breeder training programs because we choose to help families and keep prices affordable.

Our Reviews

  • How lucky we feel to have found this trainer! Our goldendoodle is a dream of a puppy. He is quiet, calm, obedient and loving - all the most desirable traits of new family dog. We always felt informed during the training process, and received exactly what we expected plus more! Our puppy is a dream come true.

  • Train my doodle exceeded all my expectations. Karina worked one on one with my 6 month old doodle and immediately he picked up on her queues. She works with the family to facilitate the training transition. Yes, she basically trained me and helped me get rid of my bad habits too. I was able to take what she did and use it with our 7 yr old dog and it worked. I can’t say enough about her or the training process she uses.

  • My husband and I were looking for a trained dog and I found Karina on line. We did a video chat so we could meet her and the puppy we were interested in. She spent about an hour with us answering all of our questions. We could tell she was a great trainer and she loved her dogs. We knew right away we wanted to adopt Frankie. She helped us arrange transport with a wonderful guy who got Frankie to us safely and happily. The whole experience was wonderful. She has continued to stay in touch since we got him and is happy to answer any questions we have. We would HIGHLY recommend Karina!

  • Karina is a special human raising special puppies. We are experienced dog owners who chose to work with her because of her knowledge and dedication to her work. We left prepared with an amazing puppy who was well on his way to being a respectful and obedient companion, it was a shortcut to fun a play without having to figure everything out alone. I wish we had met her before.

  • I selected Karina after looking at several trainers and breeders because of the small size of her operation and i could tell that she genuinely cared for these puppies! My pup has been traveling with me all over the east coast for work and he has been very well behaved. This is a testament to the work Karina poured into him early on to ensure he was well exposed to the world. Loud noises, small children, other dogs, he’s doing very good with all! Can’t thank Karina enough for her care and support throughout this process. Highly recommend working with her!
