Mako Kazma (10)
Mako is our curious and clever training assistant. Always eager to learn, he has been helping Mom with training from day one, especially recall exercises—he’s a pro at “puppy ping pong”! Mako loves all types of animals and enjoys helping with walks and training sessions. He’s very respectful of dogs, understands boundaries, and always follows the rules, making him a calm, confident companion for every pet he meets.
Cove Kazma (8)
Cove is our resident cuddle expert and your pup’s perfect snuggle buddy. If your dog loves affection, Cove will happily sit nearby, giving pets exactly how they like them. He also loves to help with training, specializing in calm greetings and encouraging polite manners when meeting new people. Like Mako, he’s smart, curious, and always eager to learn new skills while supporting our furry guests.
Shelby (16)
Shelby is the wise, relaxed “old lady” of the crew. She spends her days lounging peacefully, making her the perfect companion for visiting pups who enjoy calm, laid-back company.
Bimini (6)
Bimini is the playful "blonde" of the group. Adopted from the Carlsbad shelter, she’s mellow around the house but loves to zoom and play whenever someone joins in, bringing energy and fun to every visit.
Reef (5)
Reef is our certified therapy dog. He adores visiting children at schools and soaking up all the pets. At home, he follows Mom everywhere and relaxes at her feet—but when it’s time to fetch, he’s all in.
Jackson (2)
Jackson is the baby of the group and a dedicated service dog. Focused and calm on duty, at home he’s full of energy—bounding around, letting puppies climb on him, and bringing joy to everyone.
