• Ask us if you want to train another odor e.g. antlers, keys, snakeskins, etc.
• Every participant must sign the waiver to attend, including spectators.

Happy Mother's Day, to all of the mothers who take care of us.
May the 4th Be With You on Star Wars day, and in all of your adventures.
#starwarsday #maythe4thbewithyou #huntersheart This animated video shows 2 dogs and a cat in space suits.
Have a happy holiday weekend! One of the ways of including your dog is to set up a scavenger hunt. Get started by letting your dog watch while you sprinkle food rewards around your yard or house. (Don’t forget to remove chocolate and breakable items from the search area, to prevent injury.) Alternately, you can hide food in a snuffle mat, Kong toy, or food puzzle. All help satisfy the dog’s need to sniff and hopefully bring joyful smiles to the spectators as well.
What did you do with your dog on the holiday? Please share in the comments.
