Meraki K9
Owned & Operated by Alexa White. Alexa is our in-house partner with training & education for our pets. Meraki is a Greek word meaning to do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself into your work. Training dogs requires a great deal of creativity, love, and patience, which is why she felt like the word Meraki is perfectly suited for the name of her company.
Alexa White has been seriously involved with dogs since 2008. She has completed the Top Tier K9 Pet Training Program and Working Dog Program. She has also earned her Pet Training Certificate and Working Dog Certificate under the guidance of some of the best dog trainers in the country. Her other experiences with dogs include working as an AKC Registered Apprentice professionally showing dogs in conformation, working at multiple boarding facilities and grooming salons, and competing with her dogs in conformation shows and obedience trials.
Alexa is our own “Dog Whisperer”, she was born to work with dogs and it is evident in how passionate she is about all she does with our pets. We are blessed to have her working directly with us.

Michigan Search and Rescue
In 2006, four seasoned search and rescue handlers joined together to create Michigan Search and Rescue (MISAR) an all-volunteer missing persons response team. MISAR continue to grow and produce exceptional dog handlers, certified dogs and excellent field support persons.
Each one of MISAR's dogs belong specifically to the handler who trains them. They are part of the handler's home and life which creates a unique bond as a team. Handlers and field support alike are committed to providing trained and certified resources to assist in finding missing persons. Field Support persons do exactly what the title says by supporting the dog handler with their navigation skills, the radio and first aid. All of our members are volunteers and provide their own finances to support their training. MISAR is a 501c3 non-profit organization.
It's A Dog's Life allows this team to utilize our facility and surrounding property to perform their teams training events. We enjoy knowing that if we can help save someone - it really means the world to our entire team knowing that we can give back to such a fabulous cause!
