Other Services

While Canine Massage Therapy is the primary focus of the Good Fortune Canine Dojo, there are other services available for a limited time. (Service availability will be determined by popularity/need for the service and based on time available between massage clients.)

  Jump Start to Training

Training is very important to a healthy and happy dog and a happy family. While you seek out a professional trainer who will be able to properly help you through all phases of a dog's training needs... I can assist with positive reinforcement training experience to help you get a few important lessons started to give them a training jump start. Sit, Stay, Leave it, Drop it, tips for potty training and problem jumping or chewing. I can also do some research and find you a local trainer who can carry on the lessons your pet will need to be safe, happy and keep the family sane.

Introduction into training: $15 a session... 2 sessions a week recommended until you are able to find your full time trainer.

*If you are an experienced dog trainer and would like to be added to the list of potential trainers, please call me at 906-285-1220

* I do only do jump start training: (jump start to basic commands) You will need to transition to a full time trainer after 4 weeks, unless you need an extension or help finding a trainer.

Dog Walking

The ice in the upper peninsula is fairly thick. Have you slipped and hurt your back or your leg and have trouble making sure your dog has proper exercise? When available, I can be scheduled to help make sure your dog gets proper exercise at least 2x a week until you are healed through a relaxing walk through Ironwood. if your dog is dog friendly, he or she can join a small group walk with my two dogs where he or she can socialize and exercise. 

$10 a walk. Guaranteed at least 1 mile per walk minimum.  

Maximum 1 medium/large breed dog at a time - 2 small breed dogs. Dogs must be good at walking on leash. Service is based on availability. I can not guarantee scheduling Weather Permitting. (Due to dangers of overheating in summer, and paw pad damage in winter, I will not walk dogs in temperatures under 35, or on excessively hot/humid days.)


Adoption Services:

Are you looking to adopt your first pet? Maybe you're first dog or looking to adopt a friend or your existing dog. 

in my time working in pet care in Wisconsin, I saw many pets adopted as a novelty. An "Easter bunny", one of the "101 Dalmatians". There are so many stories of novelty pets being abandoned at shelters shortly after adoption due to the owners not being aware of the fact rabbits are actually fairly high maintenance and Dalmatians were more active than the family had time or energy for. 

The key to a happy family and a happy pet is planning ahead of time for what you're in for. What care is needed to keep a rabbit happy and healthy? How long do rats live? Is a pug right for my lifestyle? How do I know if this dog will get along with my dog? How do I know which puppy from this litter is the right one?

I am available to counsel you through the process of finding the right pet for you. After a few questions, I will do the research on breed, care, lifespan, general breed health, dietary needs, etc and provide you with the detailed research to aid you in your decision to bring a new pet into the home. I can teach you how to properly introduce a new pet into a family with existing pets before you adopt, when you are ready to adopt, and after you bring your new friend home. 

I will be happy to accompany you to the local humane societies if you choose to adopt, to help you find the right fit. All pet adopted from local H.O.P.E. animal shelter will get 1 free canine massage therapy session as a thank you for adopting animals in need.

Fees are based on type of adoption service requested and are discussed at a free consultation.

If you have questions, service requests, or want to schedule an appointment: Call 906-285-1220
