She was grace, she was pack leader, she was for many of our students, a guiding presence and teacher as well...

I am devastated to share with our Ilio Community that we had to say goodbye to Dinah last week.

A rapid and advanced level of bone cancer took her health down quickly, and we had to make the best decision for her.

We ask for your support and understanding as well as prayers during this time.

She loved every one of you and loved the work with me with our students in the community.

Thank you all for coming out to our Brewery Training Seminar 🍻❤️🐕🐕🐕!!!

---We had record breaking turnout, and everyone got to learn lots of wonderful new tips on how to handle their four-legged family member in a public space! (If you'd like a copy of the handout we provided, it will be in the comments section below👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼)

--- Many thanks also to Mills River Brewing Co. for hosting our event! They were so supportive and helpful with the audio and stage.

--- Pet Source was phenomenal providing treats for all the happy four-legged participants, all wonderful snacks you can also get on site at their amazing store in Hendersonville!

--- Thanks as well to the amazing staff from Fetch Dog Daycare and Boarding out from Flat Rock for croud control and animal support!

--- And to help the dogs still in need in our community, participants made many donations to our wonderful local Blue Ridge Humane Society

We look forward to seeing YOU again at our next seminar in the area🎊🪅🎉!!

We are grateful to Pet Source for helping us put together a STELLAR event this Saturday @ Mills River Brewing Co.❤️🐕🍻

If your dog has ever turned a relaxed brewery afternoon into a full-time job, this one is for you!

Mills River Brewing Co. is hosting a free Brewery Training Seminar this Saturday, September 19 at 12:00 PM, with trainer James Lyon of Ilio Canine Care. It runs about 45 minutes and covers safety techniques and practical tips for managing dogs in public brewery environments, with a Q&A at the end.

Around here, some of the best afternoons happen on a brewery patio. Knowing how to set your dog up to actually enjoy that, instead of white-knuckling the leash the whole time, is a genuinely useful skill.

We are proud to sponsor this one. Every dog who shows up gets local treats, on us.

The seminar is free, and optional donations go to Blue Ridge Humane Society.
📅 Saturday, September 19
🕛 12:00 PM
📍 Mills River Brewing Co.

Bringing your dog? Tell us in the comments what kind of brewery patio dog you have. The one who naps under the table, the relentless snack beggar, or the one who greets every single person who walks by.
