Owner + Trainer

​

Little bit about me, for those of you who don't know. My name is Cortney and I was born and raised here in Monroe, WI. My husband Derek, our children, and our four dogs continue to strengthen our roots here in my hometown. 

My sidekick (and name behind the business) since 2012 is Memphis the Border Collie. Memphis and I attended Triple Crown Academy for professional dog trainers in 2013 - now known as Starmark Academy, where I began my career in dog training and behavior studies. Over the years, I obtained my degree in Animal Welfare Management, while also gaining hands on-experience and continued education in dog caretaking, training, client relations, management, kennel maintenance, grooming, nutrition, and more. My entire life revolves around dogs.

Since May 2021, I had been employed as a full time dog trainer for Focused Dog Training and in September 2023, I decided it was time to take the steps to pursuing my own entity in the industry. With an extremely supportive employer and village backing me in this new journey - I'm excited to see this transpire in our beautiful community. 

I've been very active in the Monroe and surrounding areas helping families care for their dogs when needed for over a decade. I'm thrilled to expand on my dog caretaking services by offering high quality board and train services as well! 

We look forward to working with you!

Daycare & Overnight Care

​My love for animals began early in childhood. I grew up with family dogs and have been involved with fostering and rescuing for as long as I can remember. when I was a teenager, I rescued 2 Australian Shepherds, Ivy and Remi, and that experience deepened my passion for caring for animals. Today, I share my home with over 25 animals, of all varying species. Aside from my dogs & cats, I own a wide variety of exotic species as well. Each animal I've cared for has taught me something new and my knowledge continues to grow with every experience. While animals hold a special place in my heart, I also have a strong passion for helping people. In addition to working for Memphis & Co. I am also a CNA for a hospital and I plan to attend nursing school in January. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and of course - hanging out with all of my fun critters! 

Daycare & Overnight Care

I have been in the animal care industry since 2019. I worked for Green County Humane Society for five years, where my passion for animals has grown. I also work at a boarding kennel in Lena, where I've been employed for three years. When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three year old son while we prepare to welcome another little boy in December. We also have four dogs, Strider, Loki, Clover, & Azula.
