Sweetie (on the left) and Zula (right) are just starting their programs and are already becoming friends. They're learning that they can play together... and chill together depending on the social context.

Can't wait to see how far they'll go!

Omg, what a day...
I had to get my shots so I can keep helping other doggos! It was scary, but my mom taught me fun games to do so it wasn't so bad.

Do you know the games? We can show you!
Have your human call my human!

p.s. I'm perfectly healthy and ready to go!

Essie update:

Hi friends! It's me, Essie!

Just wanted to let you know I'm feeling so much better and ready to play! My brothers can't keep up as I spin circles around them. Thanks for wishing me well! I can't wait to get back to work making and helping new friends.

Kisses!

We've said it before: Pain affects a dog's behavior.

As ethical trainers, we watch for behavior changes and encourage working closely with veterinarians to identify if there's a pain issue. Sometimes, signs of pain aren't always immediately evident or may seem erratic and unpredictable at first.

In Essie's case, we noticed her being a little more withdrawn from her usual playmates and more prone to correct them. She was also less willing to play with her brothers at home. Then, she began compulsively rubbing her face. Checking her mouth, we found she had broken a tooth. At her vet check, it looked like she had snapped the root, too. So, she went in today to to take care of it.

These little things seemed minute at first, but they all began to add up. If there's a change in your pup's behavior causing concern, especially when the change is new, we recommend ruling out potential medical issues first.

Please wish Essie well today and during her recovery.

"Early Voting is delicious!" says Atlas.

Seriously, he'd get right on it if he was, ya know, a Hooman People.

Nevertheless, we'd like to encourage everyone to get out there and vote early if you can! It's one of the core functions of our democracy to have the Right and Privilege to vote and have our voices, as a People, heard.

Celebrate it! Vote as soon as you can so you aren't left voiceless.

Day 1 and Poppy's trying so hard to be brave

On her Evaluation Day, the cot beds were so scary, and she actively avoided them. This morning, she decided to put her paws on them. This afternoon, she figured out that she could get LOTS of awesome snacks by just being on the bed... then she figured she'd be there a while getting cookies and that it was easier to just down on the bed.

A++ Poppy! We're excited to be working with you!
