The biggest of THANK YOU to Frankly Dog Training LLC for inviting us to bring smiles to the students and staff of South Umpqua High School! 🤩🙌😊

When he's not helping our reactive student dogs find their confidence, our very own canine training assistant Oden moonlights as a therapy dog!

Oden LOVES doing his therapy dog job, and he had the best day ever soaking up all the attention and love from the students at Umpqua High.

Folks - did you know that just about any dog with the right aptitude can become a therapy dog? That's right - training your dog to serve your community as a therapy dog is probably easier than you think.

Does this describe your dog?:

✅ They like making friends 💕
✅ Your friends or family often describe them as "sweet," or comment on their gentle, good-natured attitude 🤝
✅ They would be interested in unlimited pets, cuddles, and back scratches 🤗

If you found yourself vigorously nodding YES, then your dog might have the potential to be an excellent therapy dog.

If that's you, we can't recommend calling Frank at Frankly Dog Training LLC highly enough! Frank can help you determine if your dog is right for therapy dog work and make a plan for their training. 🐾💕👏

Take it from Oden - this is one job that you and your dog WON'T ever want to clock out from 🥰🫶🕖

Thank you to everyone who visited our booth at Saving Grace Humane Society's annual Barks & Rec!! What a great day. 💕✨

We are so fortunate to have such a great community of dog lovers in . We loved seeing all of your smiling faces, but our favorite part of today was meeting all of your sweet, cute, smart, capable dogs. 🐾

Our resident canine training assistant Oden does say that eating all the treats you guys gave him was a close second, though.

Congratulations to Jax for earning his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certificate! 🙌🥳🎉

The CGC evaluation is a 10-point skill test designed to assess a dog's manners and social proficiency. Dogs who pass the CGC demonstrate that they are well-behaved canine citizens, including in public and around unfamiliar people.

Jax is an energetic and perceptive shepherd mix. He possesses a keen intelligence and a propensity for solving problems using his wits and his nose. His mom has worked with him to channel these skills into search and rescue (SAR) work. How cool is that?

We already knew that Jax is a very good boy, but now he's a CERTIFIED good boy.

Jax, we are so proud of you!

If you own a dog, there's a fair chance that you've heard the chatter about "enrichment."

If you're an owner who has their thumb firmly on the pulse....
