Facebook let me know that my online nosework class groups just turned ONE!

Hard to believe that it has been a whole year but I have really enjoyed being able to work with teams outside of my local classes and coaching area.

Many thanks to everyone who has supported these classes over the last year by participating and sharing with others. It is a pleasure to work with so many teams and be a part of your adventures!

South Florida Rally teams looking for a fun and informative seminar to help build confidence here is your chance!

Alexa Ballester is back fresh from the Rally National Championship and is ready to share some knowledge with Over The Moon Dog Training in Loxahatchee.

It will be a nice air-conditioned dog training opportunity in August!

After being bit by the rally bug, I am offering a Rally Workshop at Ultimate Dog Sports Sunday, August 16th! Indoor, climate controlled, fully turfed facility!

Sign up as spots are VERY limited! If you don't get a spot, PLEASE text me so I can put you in the waiting list.

I am stoked to offer this as this is a wonderful opportunity to prepare for the TCKC and IRDTC trials at the end of August!

PSA from FL:

Take your odor kits and supplies inside when you are done working for the day.

The heat right now is extra and not just in Florida, all over the US. Over the weekend I had some of my heat shrink tubing used for hides actually shrink inside my car. I knew it was bad but I didn't think heat gun temperatures.

Excessive heat will breakdown odor causing you to replace it more often. Save your q-tips, bring them inside.
