About Mrs.Crumbpockets
Her philosophy is simple yet profoundly effective:
reward the good, and watch the good grow.
It's a technique that has turned unruly pooches into disciplined companions and timid tails into wagging
success stories. Paramount to her method is her unconditional love for Labrador Retrievers—a
breed she holds dear for its spirited and endearing personality, which she fondly refers to as "funloving
dorks." It's a trait that resonates deep within her own character, creating a special bond that
only true dog lovers understand.
As a ritual that enchants every training session with a sense of anticipation and joy, Mrs.
Crumbpockets fills her pockets with an assortment of delicious cookies, her trusty arsenal of
training treats. These treats aren't just morsels of food; they're tokens of accomplishment, ready to
celebrate each wag, and each obedient gesture. And so, with a sprinkle of crumbs in all of her pockets, she has rightly earned her namesake.

Our Pups
Meet our special pups who inspire and show us daily how to be great humans!
Bella
Meet Bella, a magical yellow lab with a heart of gold and a talent for transforming lives! When Tawnya, her dedicated human, first welcomed Bella into her life, she had no idea this charming canine would lead her on a journey beyond the confines of corporate America. With Bella’s enchanting spirit and remarkable ability to learn, Tawnya discovered her true passion: dog training!
Under Tawnya’s guidance and through the power of positive reinforcement, Bella became a true marvel, mastering over 35 dazzling tricks that showcased her intelligence and agility. From fetching her dish and putting it away like a pro to jumping gleefully into a suitcase with her beloved teddy bear, Bella picked up new skills with lightning speed—it was as if she could read Tawnya’s mind!
Bella didn’t just dazzle at home; she shone on the big stage too. She performed a stunning halftime show with all her tricks at a women’s basketball game and made her television debut alongside Ray when KCCI covered the Des Moines Pet Expo.
Though Bella is no longer by Tawnya’s side, her unforgettable energy will always remain. As the first law of thermodynamics states, energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change forms.
Bella’s spirit and magic live on in every life she touched and every lesson she inspired.
Ciao Bella!

Ray
Allow us to introduce you to Ray, our dashing 12-year-old black Labrador Retriever who never fails to capture hearts with his striking good looks and beautiful amber eyes. Ray's charm extends far beyond his appearance; he's a remarkable companion with an incredible talent for scent work that truly sets him apart—one might say he should have been a Search and Rescue (SAR) dog, given his keen abilities and dedication.
​
Instead, Ray has excelled, with his human, in the realm of competition obedience, proudly earning his UDX title. His accomplishments in the ring are only matched by his loving nature at home. Ray is the ultimate full- body snuggler, always ready to offer warmth and comfort, while also taking on the role of a patient puppy teacher to our younger furry friends. His unwavering patience with his human family is admirable, although he certainly isn't shy about using his vocal talents to command attention when he feels it's necessary.
​
Ray has been, and continues to be, an integral part of our lives—a steadfast friend, an extraordinary companion, and a cherished member of our family. Join us as we celebrate his journey and the joy he brings into our world!

Recently, however, Garth faced a setback when he injured his Achilles tendon. While he’s on the long road to recovery, both Garth and Tawnya remain optimistic. They hope this journey won’t sideline him from competition but the most important thing is for Garth to run free and feel the exhilaration of his own body moving at top speed.

Whether it’s a day at the park, a thrilling competition, or the determination to heal and bounce back stronger, Garth is here to inspire fellow dog lovers and showcase the incredible bond between a dog and his person.

Rebel
Meet Rebel, affectionately known as Princess Rebel Potomas, the youngest member of our crew and a proud yellow English Lab. Rebel likes to clarify that she’s not just a labrador retriever; she’s a lab—full of sass and charm. With an adorable quirk, she insists that if you happen to drop or throw something, it’s your responsibility to pick it up yourself! This clever pup has a heart full of love, and her infectious personality brightens every room she enters.
One of Rebel’s favorite pastimes is cozying up with her dad, Mr. Crumbpockets, to watch football while munching on popcorn. After a few appearances in the breed ring, Rebel decided to hang up her show collar in the spring of 2024, opting for the royal lifestyle as a pampered princess instead.
Join us as Rebel becomes a therapy dog! With her stunning brown eyes and adorably droopy skin, Rebel will help people smile and laugh as they get to know her.
