When you’re a high energy dog breed but are not the least bit distracted by the tennis ball bump. Great work Hazel!
ID: an Australian shepherd pup wearing a blue vest watches her handler. A ball rolls into the frame and bumps into her, but she remains focussed on her person.
Graduate dog Reggie showing off his new command to switch his hips. We love seeing our dogs learning new things!
Video description: a yellow lab in a blue service dog vest is in a down stay. At his handler’s command, he switches which side he lies on.
Favourite moment from puppy class today: Cookie bringing his leash, even though he hasn’t been taught to do it. He’s so proud of himself!
We’re loose-leash walking our way into the New Year! Wishing everyone a wonderful start to 2024.

Here is Dixie (chocolate lab puppy) doing a fabulous job ignoring a pill bottle.
