Life’s better with dogs by your side. 💙
These two keep me grounded, entertained, and always on my toes! I wouldn’t trade the chaos or the cuddles for anything.

Post herding happy face 😁

Kai and his brother Arlo came for a herding session after a few months break. At home they have been working on their herding skills with Herdy Balls and some pet ducks.

They have also done a lot of work on impulse control and listening skills in those exciting contexts.

The hard work their family has put in was very obvious today in their session. They both did extremely well and had a blast.
