Some dogs just LOVE a good animal toy that is their size! Sunny has a great time with large animal toys and especially likes to play with the life size Melissa & Doug dogs. This is an especially fun game for dogs who may exhibit high arousal, frustration or reactive behaviors with other dogs. Check out the Kim Brophey “Karl hack” for more ideas and examples! 💖☀️😊

I’m super excited to be at Petfest this year with Think Pawsitively Dog Behavior, Training & Consulting! Stop by to check out our enrichment stations with your dog! I’ll also have Muzzle Movement muzzles to try on and discounted long lines and leashes available for sale 😊

The Positive Pet Project is a collaboration of women-owned, reward-based dog training businesses dedicated to helping pets and guardians thrive together in the real world. They integrate brain games, mental enrichment, and play into behavior modification and positive reinforcement training to strengthen connection and build confidence. Led by Mariah of Blue Sky Behavior and Rhonda of Think Pawsitively Dog Behavior, Training & Consulting, the team brings over 40 years of combined experience helping dogs and their people navigate common behavioral challenges like fear, aggression, anxiety, and trauma. They go beyond basic training to implement practical, real-life strategies that help pets adapt to demanding modern lifestyles—think real-life skills for real-life chaos! Stop by their interactive booth at the at the Missoula Pet Fest, happening from 10am to 3pm on Saturday, August 15th, at the Caras Park Pavilion, to explore enrichment stations with your dog, create a take-home project, and connect with the Positive Pet Project for simple, feel-good ways to support your dog’s training plan and everyday life.

Auto feeders for the win! There are a ton of inexpensive options these days and I love the feeders specifically geared towards cats because they offer tiny 1, 2 and 3 tablespoon portions - perfect for a couple of snacks throughout the day! If your dog needs something higher value, you can find feeders that hold soft treats (think a meatball or cheese nugget 🧀) and even feeders large enough to hold Kongs or other food toys prepped for the day.

Awesome small group dog training classes now being offered by Tiff Victory Road Dog Training in Missoula!

2026 group classes are open for enrollment! AND... It's time for another art raffle! Winner will receive a digital sketch of their pet or any animal of their choosing. Raffle ends on Dec 16 and sketch will be delivered by mid Jan (I'll be gone for the holidays). See my art account for examples

To enter - Tag a friend who has a dog, who lives in Missoula. Simple as that!

I want to bring awareness to canine families in Missoula that Victory Road is regularly offering group classes. Even if you don't have a dog, or are out of state, you can help by spreading the word.

Another way you can help my business is to share this post! 2026 was a tough year for me financially; I am one person team trying to make this work. And it's working... But one way I'd like to continue serving pet families in Missoula is to offer cheaper training options such as group classes.

Thank you all for an amazing year. More to come in 2026!

Classes open for enrollment -
Canine Companion
Nosework
Proper Canine Socialization

More classes, including outdoor experiences, coming late winter 👀

Now carrying a limited stock of colors in most sizes! Go to Blueskybehavior.net or contact me for a fitting and to discuss options for your dog. Muzzle movement muzzles are a great investment for dogs who need to wear a muzzle for longer duration activities like hiking or acclimating to a new dog in the family. And as an added bonus, I’ve seen dogs acclimate to MM muzzles very quickly because they are less restricting (more pant room) and are so lightweight. Sweet Brynn is pictured here wearing the Neli 💖💙

If you are worried about muzzle training your dog, this post is for you! T went on his first walk with his new .muzzle.movement muzzle and is rocking it! He’s doing all his normal sniffing, exploring and walking AND is also able to incorporate items from his training plan 💙 Just in time for some serious snowy hikes here in Western MT!
