With a very special tribute to the late Jimmy Benson — the finest dog trainer we’ve ever known and the one who taught us everything we know about training dogs. His influence lives on in every retrieve, every lesson, and every success we’ve had.

Each of these individuals has made a lasting impact—whether through mentorship, collaboration, or simply lending a hand when we needed it most. We are forever grateful.

💧🐶 Happy National Hydration Day! 🐶💧

Hot weather = happy pups... as long as they stay hydrated! ☀️🐾

Here are some quick tips to keep your dog cool, safe, and hydrated all summer long:
💦 Fresh water, always. Refill their bowl often — outdoors and in.
🚫 No hot pavement walks. It’s not just hard on paws — it overheats them faster.
🧊 Add ice cubes to their water for a fun (and cooling) crunch!
🏖️ Bring water on every outing — don’t count on streams or lakes.
🍉 Offer hydrating treats like dog-safe fruits (think watermelon, cucumber – no seeds!).
🌳 Take breaks in the shade and watch for signs of dehydration: lethargy, dry gums, or excessive panting.

A well-hydrated dog is a happy, healthy dog — especially during summer fun!

☀️🐾 It’s the First Day of Summer! 🐾☀️

Time to trade snow for sniffs, and sweaters for sunshine!

Your dog’s summer bucket list:
✅ Roll in the grass
✅ Chase 3,000 squirrels
✅ Steal one hotdog
✅ Splash in anything that resembles water
✅ Soak up every sunny moment with their favorite human (that’s you)

🦆 And for our hardworking hunting dogs – summer is for staying sharp!
Whether it’s water retrieves, marking drills, or just a good swim, it’s the perfect season to train and play.

🌊☀️ Don’t forget the summer safety basics: pack water, watch for hot pavement, and never leave your pup in a hot car!

Let the tail-waggin’ and training begin!

🎣 🐾 National Go Fishing Day? Your hunting dog has questions... 🐾 🎣

"Wait... no ducks? No birds?? Just... sitting quietly and waiting for a fish??"

🐶💭 “This feels like a trap, but okay, I’ll watch the bobber… for now.”

Whether your pup’s idea of “fishing” is diving in after the lure or stealing your bait when you blink — today’s the day to swap the field for the lake (just maybe don’t let your retriever retrieve the fish 🐟😂).

🐾 Share a photo of your favorite fishing buddy — four legs or two!

🧢 🐾 Happy Father’s Day to all the dads—paws or no paws! 🐾 🧢

Today we’re celebrating every kind of dad:
- To the awesome dog dads who throw the best tennis balls, give the best belly rubs, and always sneak an extra treat…
- And to the incredible dads of two-legged kids who lead with love, strength, and heart.

Whether your crew barks, talks, or does both—your loyalty, protection, and patience make you a real MVP.

🐶💙 Here’s to you, Dad. Because fatherhood comes in all forms—and every one is worth celebrating.

🍩 🐶 Happy National Doughnut Day! 🐶 🍩

Your dog’s face when you say “Not for you” after they sniff your doughnut: 😳😩😂

Let’s be real — they think every snack is for them...
But most doughnuts = big NO-NO for pups! ❌
(Too much sugar, chocolate, and fake stuff = upset tummies or worse!)

🐾 Want to treat them right?
Make or buy a dog-safe doughnut! (Yes, that’s a thing – and yes, they’ll love you forever.)
