Chemical sprays (ie: w**d killers, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides) can be very dangerous to pets! If your neighbor or a yard your dog often walks by has a sign that the lawn was recently treated, take extra precaution! See the graphic for more info!

If you suspect your pet was exposed to any type of chemical lawn sprays, contact your family veterinarian, a pet poison hotline, or your local animal emergency hospital so they can help you determine next steps.

We have been brainstorming about how we could fill the need for our competition students to offer an evening Utility class, and we finally have a solution! Beginning May 8, Angie Motta-Martizna will teach a Utility class on selected Wednesdays starting at 7:45pm. Angie has been training and competing for 20 years and has achieved multiple OTCH titles and NOC invitations with her Golden Retrievers. She is knowledgeable, personable, and caring, and will be a great addition to our teaching team!

This class will not be offered every single week, so pay attention when signing up to see the dates it is offered.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Lois Ornat. Lois owned Tails Up from 1998-2010 and continued on as an instructor until 2020. She will be remembered for her knowledge, compassion, sense of humor, and fervent support of hundreds if not thousands of pet dog owners and competitors in the sport of dog obedience. She was extremely influential in the local community of dog trainers and her absence will be felt deeply by all. A celebration of life is planned for Thursday 12/28 at Anderson Funeral Home in Apple Valley, MN. Visitation at 10am and service at 11am.

🐶😺 Studies have shown that as little as 15% over healthy ideal weight can shorten the lives of dogs and cats by up to 2 years! Being just a little overweight can accelerate the development of painful joints, lameness, and the need for pain medications to live a comfortable life. It is suggested to check your pet's body condition once a month using this knuckle test. This method is especially helpful for long-haired breeds.

⚠️EVIDENCE BASED⚠️ info Re: 🥵Heat Injury/ Emergency Cooling 🥶

There's SO MUCH mythology out there about appropriate means of cooling a dog in an emergency situation.

🌡️RAPPID COOLING is the most vital component if a dog is hyperthermic. It is an absolute myth that cooling a dog too quickly can put a dog into shock, or somehow increase body heat. That is simply a false statement.

🧊 ICE WATER is ok. WET TOWELS are ok. SUBMERSION in COLD WATER is ok. Literally anything that is colder than the dog is okay.

🚨 COOL FIRST then transport. Hyperthermia is an IMMEDIATE threat to life. And your veterinarian is not more skilled at dousing your dog with cold water than you. IV fluids an antibiotics are secondary/supportive treatment. Treat what is killing the dog first. Then transport.

Thank you to Veterinary Tactical Group for putting together this fantastic graphic!!
