Driggs says how’s he supposed to drive this truck, he doesn’t have any thumbs.

Driggs building some brain power with some passive and active socialization at the lake. Tips for success: leash or tether to limit what he can get into , chew and play toys to stay occupied. Some treats for reinforcing behaviors. A crate for naps and a portable fan for beating the heat . We had a safe little swim and just practicing hanging out.

Crockett and I tried something new today-dock diving. He is not a natural yet but he has the desire. He liked running victory laps on the dock the most. Thanks so much for the coaching Susan! It was fun to do with my 4H kiddo Brooklyn too!

🐶You can train dogs?
🐉Maybe even dragons?
💁‍♂️WELL, I can train husbands!
🩷My hubs came to group class. Our marriage survived and he even learned a thing or two.

☀️🏝️Just spent a few days in sunny Florida helping a friend with some training.
🐶Cooper is an eager learner with a family committed to making his life better. He brought some baggage from his previous life that causes some anxiety related reactivity. Mom had done her homework from our virtual sessions and he was ready to go when I arrived. I was happy to see his progress and excited to continue to help him grow.
💗Thank you Angela, Ralph, and Linda for your hospitality and my own little dog themed cottage. Can’t wait to see you again!

🥵💦Hot days mean early morning lessons and a dip in the creek after. Gabe did a great job learning to listen in new, distracting environments and to be neutral around other dogs passing by. 🥵💦

I love a good packing list. 😍

A simple but effective tip for making sure you and your dog enjoy an outdoor event? Pack like a Pro!

You can stay organized using a f***y pack or small bag to store quick essentials like:
✅ High Value Treats (we recommend bringing multiple types, just in case!)
✅ A small toy, especially if your dog is more toy-driven than food-driven
✅ P**p bags (bring extra!) 💩

Other essentials for your dog’s comfort:
✅ Short Leash (skip the Flexi at the Festival!)
✅ Collapsible Water Bowl & Water
✅ Long-lasting chew
✅ Small mat for downtime relaxation

Additional optional tools include:
✅dog booties to protect from hot pavement
✅cooling vest for warm summer days, sweater or rain gear (depending on the weather)
✅favorite toy for play and decompression
✅ear protection if there will be loud music

Keeping a small first-aid kit and extra gear (harness, leash, collar) in your car is a great idea too!

After class, we all enjoyed dinner and drinks at our favorite local watering hole! Dogs were fabulous and got celebratory pup cups all around.

We had clouds, 🌧️ rain, ☀️ sun and 🤩FUN! Egg and spoon heel work and stays with recall across the bridge and swift creek. If we look drowned - we were. Quick and forceful shower caught us. We waited it out and got back at it. 💪
