Kavo training for SAR. Our brown boy in Kalispell😍

09/03/2026

Hi Jean! This is Nicky and we bought the brown pup. We named him Kavo and he’s doing really well! He’s exceeding my expectations! I train him several times a day and he’s learned all the basics. He’s very bright and eager to learn! We recently started him on some short air scenting trainings, too. He’s picked it up very quickly and if he continues to show promise, I’ll likely reach out to some SAR teams. We are also starting a puppy class for socialization tomorrow. I’ll send a few pics in a bit and I can send a video of him working at some point, too!

🐾 Another Cause for Itchy Paws
If your dog is constantly licking or chewing her paws, allergies may not be the whole story.
Every time your dog walks through grass, yards, sidewalks, or outdoor spaces, her paws can collect pollen, mold spores, dust, fertilizers, pesticides, and other environmental irritants. Think of those furry feet as little Swiffers picking up everything in their path!
And simply wiping the paws off often isn’t enough. Irritants can hide between the toes, around the nailbeds, and deep in the paw pads.
One of my favorite simple strategies is a regular paw soak. 💚
A soothing foot soak can help physically remove environmental allergens and irritants from the skin while giving those hard-working paws a little TLC. For many dogs with seasonal paw licking, reducing their daily exposure can make a meaningful difference.
🐾 For medium and large dogs: use a bucket or basin and soak one paw at a time.
🐾 For small dogs: a shallow basin or sink works well.
🐾 Afterward: rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly, especially between the toes.
I’ve also included my Detoxifying Paw Soak recipe with green tea, apple c***r vinegar, Epsom salts, and an optional antimicrobial addition.
Save this recipe for your next itchy-paw flare-up! 🌿🐶
And remember: if your dog’s paws are persistently red, swollen, painful, smelly, or she’s licking them obsessively, don’t assume it’s just allergies. Yeast, bacterial infections, parasites, foreign bodies, and other underlying problems can also cause paw irritation and deserve a veterinary evaluation.
Healthy paws start with reducing what touches them every day. 💚 Grab the recipe details in my blog, link in comments 🐾
