🐾 Congratulations, Zeus! 🐾

This past weekend in Courtland, Virginia, I had the opportunity to take one of my boarding clients, Zeus, an American Bully, to his very first UKC conformation event—and I couldn’t be prouder of him!

For his first time in the ring, Zeus did an amazing job. He was friendly with everyone he met and, of course, was more than happy to soak up all the attention and affection he could get. ❤️ The judges really enjoyed him and gave us some wonderful compliments on his movement and overall appearance.

Zeus finished his very first show weekend earning 60 points toward his UKC Champion title! 🏆🐾

We even had a chance to introduce him to the weight pull cart to see if that might be another sport he could enjoy in the future. He definitely gave us something to think about!

Zeus is now back home with his owners, and they have some homework to do before I get him back for the December show. 😉 I’m already looking forward to working with him again and getting this handsome boy back in the ring.

For a first weekend out, Zeus made us incredibly proud. This is only the beginning!

Congratulations, Zeus! 🎉🐾🏆

The Complete Guide to Puppy Potty & Crate Training.

Kindle: https://a.co/d/0fUFuzZe

Hardcover: https://a.co/d/01DsiFUi

Description
Build better habits, strengthen trust, and make potty and crate training easier.

The Complete Guide to Puppy Potty & Crate Training from Rising Moon Kennels is a practical, step-by-step workbook designed to help you raise a happy, confident, well-adjusted companion.

While created with puppies in mind, the potty-training methods can be used with dogs of any age—including adult dogs who were never fully house-trained, dogs adjusting to a new home, or dogs who simply need a refresher.

Using positive reinforcement, consistency, patience, and routine, you’ll learn how to prevent accidents, recognize potty signals, create successful schedules, introduce the crate positively, and work through common training challenges.

Inside you’ll also find Trainer’s Notes, real-life examples, training timelines, checklists, trackers, worksheets, socialization activities, milestone pages, and keepsakes to guide you throughout your dog’s journey.

Whether you’re bringing home your first puppy or helping an older dog develop better habits, this workbook gives you practical tools you can use every day.

Training isn’t about perfection. It’s about creating good habits, building confidence, and developing a bond that lasts a lifetime.
