It’s a beautiful day today and Murphy has already been with me to Lowe’s and a walk around Norm’s Island. What are your plans with your dog(s) today ?

The weather was so beautiful Sunday morning that Murphy and I went down to Pioneer park to have a little fun workout session .

Any plans in October??
Otherwise I have a few suggestions for you, such as attending one of the upcoming classes (see below):

Maybe you just got a new puppy that needs to learn some basic skills, or maybe an older dog that needs to brush up on his/her skills? Then the Puppy/Basic Manners class is for you!

Maybe your lanky teenage needs to build some body awareness?
Or your timid dog would benefit from building more confidence? Then the BAM class would be a good fit!

Maybe you are looking into getting your dog certified as a therapy dog? Or you want to improve your dog's skills around other dogs and people, especially his/her greeting behavior?
If so, the Canine Good Citizen prep class would be a good fit.

To sign up for a class, please go to the online shop here : https://www.bluecreekcanine.com/online-shop.html

Last but not least, mark your calendar for the upcoming Nose-work workshop on Sunday, November 2nd ...more details to be shared soon.

Looking forward to seeing you in class 😃

Do you and your dog have any plans tonight? If not, why not join the MixMatch class starting tonight at 5:40 pm? It is a 6 week class, where we will explore a new dog sport activity in each session, such as Rally Obedience, Movement Puzzles, Dog Dancing, Nose work and much more.
I have on spot left, so if your Wednesday evening is looking a little bit dull, sign up today and instead be ensured some fun, quality time with your best friend.

Due to a high demand for Puppy/Basic Manners classes, I have added an additional Puppy/Basic Manners class starting this coming Sunday at 1:40 pm.

On a different note, I still have room for teams in the upcoming MixMatch class, which will start on Wednesday, September 17th. We always have a lot of fun in this class, and it is always such a joy to see teams trying out new dog sports activities and discover a favorite.

If you have any questions regarding upcoming classes, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Put a mark in your calendar on Sunday, September 7th, 2025 as the Puppy Play Groups will start up again.

These play groups will teach your puppy essential social and play skills, which your puppy will benefit from in years to come.
Murphy (my 7 year old Border Collie/Aussie mix) will be the "referee" if needed, to help set healthy boundaries for your puppy.

All play is supervised.

If you have any questions regarding which group your puppy should attend, or simply to sign up, please email [email protected]

Looking forward to see you and your puppy on Sunday mornings at puppy play groups.
( and yes, that is Murphy as a puppy - adorable as ever 😊)

I think this is very interesting info and something to definitely keep in mind. The longer you can keep your dog intact, the healthier your dog is. But it does come with the added responsibility of managing your dog so we don’t get any extra “whoopsi” litter of puppies 😉

In conclusion, this study shows that the risk of cranial cruciate ligament disease in dogs is linked to how long they are exposed to natural s*x hormones, and the relationship isn’t simple or linear. The highest risk was seen when females were spayed before about 1054 days (just under 3 years) and males before about 805 days (a little over 2 years). These results may help define what counts as “early” spay or neuter when it comes to cranial cruciate ligament disease risk.

Veterinary reproduction specialists now recommend hormone-preserving sterilization: preventing unwanted litters & less risk of torn cruciates.
