SitSpot Canine Center

SitSpot Canine Center Group and Private training programs for Family Manners, problem solving, agility, come when called, Thank you for visiting our page! Thank you.

We have Group and Private training programs for Family Manners, Puppy Parties, Agility and Musical Freestyle. Occasionally we offer special focus one day workshops. We also offer Day School, Day Care and Boarding. SitSpot programs are led by Jackie Earnshaw, the area's only Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Knowledge Assessed, (CPDT-KA). Our Business Philosophy
Our goal at SitSpot is to provide

service and products that we would be happy utilizing. My partner and I are very selective about products we think are worth carrying. After all, there are warehouses full of dog toys, treats and tools and it isn't difficult to find stuff to buy, but choosing equipment and supplies worth buying takes a lot of research, trial and error. We research goods, attend industry conferences, talk with top trainers around the country, rely on our own knowledge and finally consult with our dogs JB and Jazz to test and ensure that the goods we carry are unique, safe, durable and fun! We offer a home-like environment for our boarding guests and don't spare the lap-time, pats, play or cookies. We want every guest to be comfortable, happy and safe while they visit us and that is what we always look for when we need to house our dogs (on those rare occasions when we go somewhere they can't join us). Personalized, professional and caring service are just some of the ways we want our clients to think of us before and after they visit and we work very hard to meet that ideal. Our Employees

I have always been an animal lover. Both my partner and I have had horses, rabbits, goats, softbill birds, cats and an occasional lizard in our care and over the years dogs have evolved to be our second families. We work with our dogs in many ways. We compete in obedience, agility, carting and conformation with our dogs and always look for new ways to expand our relationship and understanding of them. After years of study and untold hours of dog interactions, dogs are still showing me there is much more to know to live in harmony and understanding with these fascinating creatures. At SitSpot we want to help you and your dog grow together and expand your relationship and understanding of each other. At SitSpot your dog is treasured and treated with the respect we know you feel toward your chum. We appreciate your trusting us with the care of your friend. We will do our best to live up to the job.

Portland, Oregon, just voted to ban foie gras. 👏

Foie gras is produced by force-feeding ducks and geese until their livers swell up to 10 times their normal size, causing immense suffering for the sake of a “luxury” dish.

After strong support from animal advocates and community members, the Portland City Council voted 7–5 to end the sale and service of foie gras in the city. The ban will take effect in six months, and violators could face fines of up to $5,000.

Compassion is winning. 🦆🧡

“Complete-and-balanced pet nutrition can be complicated and sometimes mistakes happen, but ensuring a diet contains the optimal (or at least safe) balance of nutrients is the first and foremost responsibility of any brand making, marketing, or selling pet food. Being able to do so repeatably and at scale is the name of the game. At some point in the value chain, pet food manufacturers are failing to adequately test the vitamin and mineral blends they use in their formulations.” – BSM Partners

A recent article from BSM Partners highlights a troubling trend: vitamin D has become one of the most frequently recalled nutrients in pet food, with at least six major vitamin D-related recalls occurring over the last eight years. The issue often isn't the meat, vegetables, or main ingredients in the food, but tiny vitamin and mineral premixes that typically make up less than 0.5% of a recipe. Because testing finished products for nutrients like vitamin D can be expensive, some manufacturers rely heavily on supplier certificates of analysis, periodic verification, or ingredient testing rather than testing every finished batch. When an error slips through, the consequences can be enormous. Major recalls involving companies such as Hill's Pet Nutrition, Sunshine Mills, Purina, and others have affected millions of pet meals, caused serious illness, and been linked to reported pet deaths. The article argues that better testing, tighter quality control, and greater oversight of premixes are critical because a mistake in a microscopic portion of a recipe can ultimately impact the health of countless pets. These companies make billions of dollars on their products; do you think testing for nutrient accuracy should be automatic?

Great shot. Enjoy.

Today's featured image from the top rated images from Daily Horse Shots is by Deb Lee Carson of debleecarson.com
"This image is of wild stallion, Nicols, titled Wild Turbulence. He lives wild in Theodore Roosevelt National Park in Medora, ND. This was captured with a Nikon Z9, Nikkor VR200-500mm 5/6 lens at 310mm, 5.6, 1/2000, ISO 400.
This was recently accepted into an upcoming exhibition at the Praxis Gallery in Minneapolis titled “Animal Life”.
There’s nothing more satisfying as a photographer than an epic atmosphere that levitates the subject matter to a new height, especially when it is a wild horse that I am trying to advocate for with my lens. What better way to tell their story than creating a work of art that the world can enjoy? "
