WHOOPSIES!!!
We had a typo in yesterday’s Love Letter that implied Dougal might have gone to the Great Beyond.
It should have read: Dominic.
Dougal wants everyone to rest assured he is alive and sassy, though not getting enough snacks today. 😏🙄

NEVER underestimate the power of trust or dopamine!
I climbed up the jungle gym to get a fun clip, *FULLY* expecting Max to (only) put his front feet on the ladder. I mean, this guy has been thoughtful about where he puts his body his whole life…
AND HE CLIMBED UP!!!
Lesson learned. 😳😳😳
(All beings are safe.)

Life is EXCITING for a young #chocolatelabpuppy!
Bruno & I are working on creating familiar patterns of engagement, so we can take these ‘on the road.’ Using #patterngames, we help condition behaviors for our dogs that help them navigate our (often confusing) human world.
Atta boy, Big B!

BINGO!!!
We use “flop” as a mid-rollover stopping point in both cooperative care and fitness training. It’s also one of the skills we work on to intentionally slow Kenna down, help her get ‘in her body’,’ and be mindful of where she is.
(You’ll see she can’t help but get a full rollover in, cheeky monkey!)

When your naturally athletic Baby Dawg executes a perfect move…and you’re super happy you video (nearly) all your training.
May you all have dogs that make leaening and working alongside them a delight!!!

Doogs + The Baby
Doogs + the Baby
At first, i thought Kenna was trying to grab his collar to tug, one of her signature moves…both annoying and unsafe.
Until I realized she’s trying to pull one of HIS fave moves: I put your whole head in my mouth. Hilarious because her mouth is 1/3 the size. 🤣🤣🤣

Parkour: Feet On Skillz
At the Novice level, there are 3 different feet-on requirements: 2 feet on (5 sec hold), 4 feet on (5 sec hold), and all 4 with dog in a sit, down or stand (10 sec hold).
I expected this to be far easier to work with Obie than you’ll see!! 🤣🤣🤣 Turns out leaping is far more attractive…

Hazel + Her Sniffer
This little monkey! I get to play with Hazel weekly to work on life skills, like being offleash on their property (and not chasing the Big Puppies, aka 🦌), recalls, polite walking, and more.
Lately, EVERY time this little monkey drops her nose to super sniff, it’s been for a snakeskin shed. 🐍🐍
Looks like we’re gonna have to do some nosework…
