Had a last minute cancellation for my Basic Obedience Class that starts tonight. If you’re interested, let me know! 🐾

Those of you who know me know that I am just as much a cat person as I am a dog person. I know some of you may not get it, but I know some of you do.

This Fall I started fostering for a local cat rescue, Here to the Rescue.

I’ve been able to find two cats their perfect forever home, but I have three more that need a home.

Honestly, Mookie and Zara are older and I’m not sure if they will find a home. But if you want an old lady cat who would love a quiet home and some extra loving, they would be for you!

And then there’s Nancy.

Nancy has been one of my all time favorite cats to foster. She is wildly entertaining and very affectionate. Did she act like a freak the first few days? Yes. But as I’m typing this she has jumped onto my shoulders and headbutted me in the face because she wasn’t getting the attention she wanted.

If you want a very sweet, loving, affection cat, she’s your girl. She loves to cuddle, she wants to sleep in bed with you—she’ll even let you put your head on her pillow with her, and she likes to be carried around and held.

She’s also very spunky and playful. She loves to chase a ball around and if you want to play with toys she’s always down for that! As snuggly as she is she can also be very spunky.

We adore Nancy, Mookie and Zara, but we have a decent amount of pets here already. We would love to help them find a home for the holidays. So if you know of anyone, please send them my way!

Edit, Update: The Monday night class has filled and a waitlist has been started. I have also opened up a Wednesday night class starting the 27th. With Thanksgiving the next day, participants can do their week one on Monday the 25th and then do the rest of the class on Wednesdays.

Basic Obedience Class, 4 weeks, $80.00
Starts Monday, November 25th at 6:15pm

The first week of class will be WITHOUT your dog and will be an orientation night where we will be going over important information, such as how we will work on skills (markers, molding, release words, communication, etc.), relationship building and behavior basics, how to set you and your dog up for success, etc. The following three weeks participants will bring their dogs and we will work on loose leash walking, place bed, sit, down, back off/leave it and name recognition. We will also be implementing spatial pressure, greetings, intentional interactions and handling and examination. Due to this being a short class, participants will be given the information on how to start and build on these skills, but can always continue with more group sessions, coaching, pack walks, private lessons, etc.

There are a few more spots open for registration. To register, text or call Jana at 715-642-1506.

Can’t make this session, but interested in classes? Feel free to reach out to be put on our contact list.

During our Games Meet Up, we work to build on our skills by mixing them up with fun challenges and games.

For tonight’s Games Meet Up, we have a relay race course that combines behavior skills and obedience with incorporated challenges such as place bed, spatial pressure, ball and spoon, paper plate recall, molding our dogs into position, duration, distance, distraction and no talk challenges! This course can be modified to on and off leash.

*In the video I call this a recall course—it is one of our relay race courses for class tonight.

I’m sorry I got that wrong on the schedule!

Pack Walk tonight at 6:15pm in Chetek.

I know it will be dark and maybe a little chilly, but we will be moving and having fun with our dogs!

One of the best parts of Pack Walks is the support (accountability, whatever you want to call it) to get out and walking and working with the dogs even if you may want to just hibernate at home with the cooler weather.

During this free in person session, your dog gets socialization while working on different skills through training exercises.

We will be meeting in front of KJ’s.

Pack Walk in Chetek tonight at 6:15pm.

If you haven’t joined in a while, a heads up that we will be doing our new style of Pack Walk.

We meet at KJ’s at 6:15pm, then we walk as a group to a different space where we do some warming up and group training exercises. Then we split up, but stay on certain blocks. This means that participants get practice walking by and passing different people and dogs. Not only is this a good training and socialization opportunity, it also more closely mimics real life.

There are also challenges you can do with your dog while on the walk that we go over as well.

I believe this is one of my most beneficial services that I offer, which is why it is free.

Looks like we should have some beautiful weather for the walk tonight! ☀️ 🐾

I just wanted to give you a heads up that I am not feeling well. As much as I would LOVE to be at Pack Walk tonight, I'm not going to be able to make it.

However, Cyndy and Beth have volunteered to lead the walk this evening!

They will be meeting people behind the Goodwill and the walk will start at 6:15pm.

This will be a group walk in the traditional style Pack Walk.

I can't say enough how much I appreciate Cyndy and Beth showing up so this can continue to happen. Please make sure to thank them!

What a beautiful night to be out walking! I wish I could be there! Have fun! 🐾

This is how my Monday is going. 😆

Walked in the house after dropping Vivien off at school to see this box on the counter. Opened it up to a surprise.

When I told Austin that was a cruel joke he tried to defend himself by saying that the box had nature’s candy. To be fair, it’s fresh from his Dad’s garden and they are delicious!

In all seriousness, Monday isn’t off to a bad start and I hope it’s off to a good start for you!

Reminder, no Pack Walks or Socials tonight. Instead we will be doing Pack Walk on Thursday on the Red Cedar Trail at 6:15pm, meeting behind Goodwill.

Yesterday morning we had a nest of snapping turtle eggs hatch out. This meant find them and bringing them closer to the creek. It is so much fun finding these little guys and helping them out.

If you have multiple dogs, or multiple pets, can they wait their turn patiently and politely while you go around giving each individual a treat? I love this video of a client giving her horses and her dogs all a treat. They wait nicely for their turn without shoving into her or being obnoxious, which makes an already nice moment even better. The work that we do with dogs isn’t about teaching them tricks or trying to control them through obedience. Instead, we work with our animals so that we can have a mutually beneficial relationship that allows for mutually enjoyable interactions that aren’t frustrating, annoying, or obnoxious. Yes, it takes time, patience and energy to get here. But the results are always worth it. Very glad I was given the opportunity to share this with you guys as it is a good demonstration. ❤️

Pack Walk in Chetek tonight at 6:15pm. It’s hot outside so make sure you’re dressed for the weather. We will find some shady spots. 🎥 Short clip from our last pack walk on the Red Cedar Trail

Every social walk during our Recall & Relevance Meet Ups will look different depending on the dogs and people, but the goals are typically the same. We want to help people learn how to support their dog while navigating a social experience, learn how to use long lines or e collars, while working on our relevance, awareness and skills such as recall, back off, and keeping a loose leash. The dogs and handlers this last Saturday morning rocked it! Several of these dogs have made so much progress in their social skills and confidence. Here is a short video clip from last Saturday’s Recall & Relevance Meet Up. I took the volume out because I’m quite loud when I’m talking with people. More videos in the comments.
