I had a puppy party this morning with these four ADOPTABLE PUPPIES currently fostered through Lab Rescue LRCP and available to homes in the DC region.

Goose (red), Magpie (dark brindle), Sandpiper (red/white), and Oriole (beagle colored) are 9 weeks old and SO MUCH FUN. They had a great time this morning with me and their foster mama running around the yard trying new things.

‼ FREE webinar on a super important topic for dog guardians! Please join us and share with friends and family! 💜

🔹 Does My Dog Need a Veterinary Behaviorist? 🔹

If you haven’t heard of a veterinary behaviorist, you are not alone – there are only 100 in the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists!

These veterinarians are board-certified in animal behavior and specialize in understanding and treating problems such as fear, anxiety, and aggression.

How do you know if a veterinary behaviorist can help your pup, how do you find one, and what can you expect during your appointment and after?

Join us on Saturday, June 22 at 2pm ET with Dr. Meaghan Ropski, DVM, DACVB; Friendship Behavior Specialists at Friendship Hospital for Animals to learn more!

Meet Flora! She took classes at .dogs and came to her first agility lesson already knowing how to Paws Up and Pivot! Always cool when another trainer did my work for me. 😆 Thanks, Lela!

We were able to skip ahead and work on something Flora struggles with… Stay!

Does your dog love sniffing for critters? On Monday (the day you prob have off work!) there is a Happy Ratters event in Severn, MD.

You can show up at the beginning of the event and register/pay on site. No experience necessary other than being interested in sniffing for hidden rats!

My friend Katrina Drake is judging and she is super friendly and supportive of newbies. You will love her.

In Happy Ratters, your dog will:
- Explore a fully enclosed area full of “trash” (see pic!)
- Any actual trash bags are full of shredded paper
- Jump on top of things, tunnel through the blue barrel, and have a blast!
- Maybe even find the hidden rat (safely enclosed in a big PVC tube with air holes)

Questions? Leave a comment!
Want to sign up? Go to HappyRatters . com and look under Events for the full details/schedule.

Nugget, Bryce, and Ollie built their confidence on the teeter this morning in Skill Building class. If your agility dog needs to learn (or re-learn) the teeter, come join us on Thursdays, Saturdays, or Sundays. It’s a drop-in class, so sign up any day you’d like to come. ❤️

@lunamae_mini_aussie was a little nervous at first, but after some sniffs and chasing her mama for recalls, she warmed up and had a fun time at her lesson. ❤️

#agility basics: Tunnels! Send me a message if you’re interested in an agility lesson or class this summer.

Philippe the #papillon kicked it into a new gear this morning at his lesson. He’s been doing great at home but struggled to focus outdoors at my house. Today, he said, “I got this!”

How does a huge Great Dane fit into an agility tunnel? Ziva and Zeus demonstrate!

More A-frame fun at @yourdogsfriendtraining.

Advanced Agility students at @yourdogsfriendtraining going up and over a full height A-frame.

Smidge the shep mix loved running around and trying new things in my yard. ❤️

Georgia the #cavapoo was a little skeptical about the tire jump but eventually decided it was super fun!

Proud of these brave puppers! Lots of agility classes at @yourdogsfriendtraining! Get on the notification list to be emailed when new sessions are open for registration.

Despite the scary music, Veena is actually a Mack truck of pure love. ❤️ The scariest thing about her is the potential of being slobbered. 🤤

How was your weekend? Here’s a peek at what happened at my house! Got a pup in the DC area who loves to run and jump? Come on over!

It was @panda_monium_bmd with the tire jump this afternoon!

Heeeeeeeere’s Elfie! If you’re in the DC area and ever wanted to see if your dog could be an agility star — for fun or on the world stage — come take a lesson with me in Burtonsville, MD. Reactive dogs welcome!

Loki definitely lived up to his name and had some mischievous moments, but all in all he was a Good Boy today!

Melody the chocolate lab having fun at her first agility lesson. 🩷

@laceythefluffernutter is a natural at agility! She picked up jumps and tunnels so quickly and loved chasing her people around the yard. 🩷

Join me on Wednesday afternoons for Beginner Agility at @yourdogsfriendtraining! Weekends better for you? YDF has weekend classes too!

Big paws on a big beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog, Miss @panda_monium_bmd!

Mila’s first agility lesson. She is such a cool looking mix of breeds and was very clever! 🩷

Force-Free Dog Training in Maryland

My headfirst dive into dog behavior began when I adopted Titania, a fearful cocker spaniel. I discovered my passion for fearful dog rehab, most recently working one-on-one with cocker mixes rescued from a backyard breeder.

I advise other foster parents of fearful dogs and help manage Debbie Jacobs’ Facebook support group for fearful dog owners.

At Your Dog’s Friend, I began assisting for Confidence Building, puppy classes, and agility. I currently teach Rally-O, American Ninja Dog, and Agility Games.
