Saturday, I got to hang out with my hubby Stephen's Guitar Lessons at the Cobb County Public Library to celebrate their Summer Reading Kickoff Program!

We had a great time! The coloring pages, stickers, and buttons were a big hit! 🙂 It brought back some fond childhood memories as well.

We love being a part of our local community and supporting reading and our local library!

We are proud to be a part of the Cobb County Public Library Perks Program. With this, you get a 10% discount on some of our services as well as other local participating businesses.

Summer is a wonderful time to grab a book and READ!

Meet Nash and his brother Blue! I am really looking forward to working with Nash and his people!

Nash, like so many of my clients, is an adolescent pup. 😊 Sweet boy! So much energy and not exactly what to do with it all. He is excited and eager to learn!

We are planning on working on some basic skills, coming when called is an important one as well as leash walking. We are also going to work on appropriate interactions with big brother Blue, so everyone is happy.

My training packages come with a snuffle mat from Piggy Poo and Crew, treats Big Daddy Biscuits, and a Best in Dog branded treat pouch from The Doggone Good Clicker Company

I know I have said it before and I am going to say it again . . . I LOVE MY JOB!

I am truly fortunate to have the opportunity to work with some of the very best people and their amazing dogs.

Yesterday I finished up two training packages. I had the pleasure of working with June and her people and Louis and one of his people.

Finishing a training package is bittersweet. While I am sad to see my clients go, it feels really good knowing I was able to help them support their dog and develop their relationship. I also know it is never truly goodbye. 😊

Look at the absolute joy on June’s face as she comes when called! And Louis loves to learn! Pure joy in working on “place”.

A big THANK YOU to all my clients and their pups who give me an opportunity to do what I love!

LET THEM SNIFF!

Dog greetings are often full of enthusiasm and excitement with lots of jumping. I find that using a snuffle mat or a game of “find it” helps to make greetings calmer and more manageable.

Sniffing is relaxing. Most dogs are food motivated and interested in foraging for the treats found in the snuffle mat. I find that they do a little bit of sniffing, come and say “hi” and are easily redirected to sniff some more.

With a Best in Dog training package you get a snuffle mat from Piggy Poo and Crew, a bag of Big Daddy Biscuits, and a Best in Dog branded treat pouch The Doggone Good Clicker Company

Most of us want to spend time with our dogs. We enjoy their company and want to take them on outings to the park, for a hike, or to sit on a patio and enjoy a coffee or a beer.

One of my priorities with training is getting out in the real world and practicing in public spaces so you and your dog can enjoy exploring the world together!

We have three great walks scheduled for May!

Saturday May 9th we will meet at East Cobb Park for the second annual IDPKA Parkour Play Day! We had a lot of fun last year. We will walk and engage in some parkour challenges along the way. If your dog has parkour experience, this is a great time to show off their skills. If you are new to the sport, this a wonderful opportunity to learn more about dog parkour.

Sunday May 17th we will meet at McFarlane Nature Park in East Cobb. This is a beautiful, peaceful space with nature trails and meadows.

Friday May 29th, we will meet at Cochran Shoals Trail. This is part of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area and a lovely walk along the Chattahoochee River.

Welcome to the club Louis!

The boys, Theo, Hank and Louis had a wonderful walk at Cheatham Hill on Friday. A nice wide shaded trail, with lots of sniffs, pretty views, history, horses, and new friends!
