We had such a fun class last night, everyone did GREAT in graduation! Folks and their doggos did their individual Heeling with auto-Sit, turns and about-turn, slow and fast, plus Recall with Sit, and Figure "8" Heeling too! Then everyone did a group Sit Stay, Stand Stay, and Down Stay...and then they got their certificates, dog treats, and lots of applause!😊 Great Job to Tinkertoy, Goldilocks, Baby, Duke, Theo, Walter, Woody, and their families! ❤🐾🐾

Thank Goodness it is cooler today, time for a dog walk in a bit😊🐾🐾 Let's all please keep our dogs under proper control when they are out and about with us! I walk my trained, leashed doggos almost daily all around our beautiful areas here, but unfortunately often have to deal with dog owners who don't have their dogs on leash or under proper control. PLEASE let's all be polite, respectful, and caring, and not allow our dogs to run around loose or approach others without their permission- we all Thank You!🩷

Here is a cute story to make you smile~

Epilepsy medication helped the golden retriever, but it dulled her personality. The arrival of a 4-day-old duckling sparked new life in Barley.

We had a great final class of the session last night where everyone did their individual Heeling with turns, about turns, slow and fast, Recall and figure "8", then group Sit Stay, Stand Stay, and Down Stay- what a wonderful class! I am so proud of everyone, as it was obvious to me that they all learned the training in class and then followed through each day at home and out and about, which is why they were all so successful!
We decided to do a group pic this time- kinda funny trying to get all the dogs settled for the pic but it worked out😄 Congratulations to Rosa❤️, Millie❤, Obie❤, Dug❤, Emma❤, and Duncan❤ and their families!
