Today is Desirae’s last day of teaching for this season. Thank you so much to everyone who supported her for her first year of private lessons! She always enjoyed telling me of your progress!! I know those of you who took private lessons enjoyed great coaching and also a great deal! Next season, her amazingly low introductory prices will be increasing a bit. She is already looking forward to working with you again, and I know she’s going to miss it.

If you want to send her a message as she heads off for College, you can message her, or write a message here and I can pass it along.

I am very thankful for all of Desirae’s help with teaching classes and helping plan and organize, move equipment, mow lawns, and training with her and Trixy! She will be missed but I know she has great times ahead in College!

If you're new or you didn't already know, I have recently posted two new videos to make YouTube channel on facebook. https://www.youtube.com/

I have several dog training videos with techniques, competition videos, training tips, or practice if you're interested in seeing more.

The most recent video is about different rewards and how to use them. To give you more ideas on how to better communicate rewards and success to your dog. There are many different methods and its best to learn several in order to increase your bond and communication. Remember - you always have your voice with you. Try to use it well!

Facebook contest:
For any student past Level 2 with us.

How would you describe a front cross?

Let me know what phrasing makes sense that helps you figure out how to complete a front cross so I have more ideas on how to explain it to future students. You never know what will make sense or click with them!

Answers will be collected until August 25 and the winner will receive a FREE HALF HOUR PRIVATE LESSON with me sometime within the next month!!

2 spots left in our Level 1 agility class starting next week! (Thursday evening). Come have fun and learn with your dog - jumps, tunnels, ramps, weave poles, teeter totter, hoops, etc. And the learning doesn’t stop at Level 1. I find agility so fun to learn how to communicate with your dog and navigate the course of obstacles together as it gets longer and more complex! And it’s great for all types of dogs, big and small, old and young (6 months+). It doesn’t have to be a fast dog, and it’s a great way to learn confidence! Sign up on the website www.PrairieDawgs.ca
