Just a favorite from last week! Layla came running as soon as she saw I was on the ground. She's such a joy!

I have been asked so many questions on training and socialization recently. So I decided to do some research and find something everyone would be able to use.

This company called Baxter & Bella is amazing. They also have an app!! There is everything you need and You can actually get an entire lifetime membership for only $178 with code: KAIARA and I will put the link to their website in my comments.

Our DIY puppy training equipment is complete! Everything turned out so well.

Dog walk, round and square wobble boards and a yellow teeter board. We should have some confident puppies (and even adults) with this!

Not pictured, but we also made a fleece tie-on chute for the other end of the tunnel back there. This so they're not fearful of entering a space with unknown exit and something pulling over their heads.

New training equipment, Yay! We made this collapsible dog walk. FUN!

We finished our Puppy Incubator this week! We are so pleased with the results and savings. Companies list identical devices for $600-$800 so we enjoyed great savings.

A puppy incubator is useful to help puppies get off to a good start in the first few hours of their lives and can be the difference between life and death, when it comes to puppies in distress.

We're happy to share our results with a video of how it's put together. In the description of this video you'll find instructions in how to build your own as well as links to the products we used.

What you don’t see in the video is how to make the unit. We began by mounting two screws for the control unit to hang/mount to on the right side. We then d...

Tessa turned 1yr old this month. We'd experienced issues with her moving or fidgeting when the judge goes over her. She also lowers her tail frequently in the ring and moves her feet during a stack.

Today we were working on those things only and she did much better!

Tessa moves her feet and lowers her tail during a stack, as well as fidgets or leans when the judge walks around her. Here we are training for stillness and...

The Horrible Hundred

Each year the Humane Society posts a list of the top 100 worst breeders. Dozens of pet stores across the country, including at least 21 Petland-linked stores, have purchased puppies from some of the dealers in this 2021 report.

Please remember this while shopping for that Christmas puppy! If you really want to see what is going on take a look at this report, but be ready for what you'll find. It is truly disgusting what is reported about these breeders.

Purebred is NOT THE SAME as well bred!
