The variety of dog sports and classes they offer has been a game-changer for us. Additionally, I can't praise the trainers enough. Their expertise, patience, and dedication have not only helped in improving our skills but also in strengthening the bond between me and my furry friend. It's evident th...

Our sport has a LOT of ups and downs. On those rough days, we need our WHY even more - we need to remember why we got into dogs sports in the first place (I suspect it wasn't for the 50-cent ribbons?).

My WHY reminds me that I love seeing just what I can accomplish as a team - in and out of the ring. I don't need a ribbon to show me I've made progress or that I love my dogs.

Let your WHY anchor you always!

Work on your mindset and gain a competitive edge.

Emotion is a criterion.

If we train a behavior with methods that are unclear or confusing then we attach yucky feelings to that behavior. While the performance of the behavior may look similar, the underlying emotion about performing that behavior is not the same.

Then, when we attempt to increase the drive, arousal, and motivation of that behavior, we wind up magnifying those emotions. While again, the dog may appear to perform the behavior (even enthusiastically) there is often inner conflict bubbling underneath the surface.

The feelings that we attach to the behaviors we train our dogs to perform matter, and they matter a lot!

We make some pretty awesome excuses, don't we? Only we call them reasons or past experiences or even use our dogs to get out of stuff.

The thing is, I don't like training when it's cold or inconvenient or when I say I don't have time. But those excuses won't help me achieve my goals.

Look, we won't always be motivated, we have to put some systems or habits in place to shore up our disciple and commitment to our dreams.

Our goals are worth it! Be strong!

🍫❤️ Happy Valentine's Day! This holiday is filled with love, chocolate, and candy - but while these treats are delicious for us, they can be toxic to our pets! Both chocolate and sugar-free candy pose serious health risks, so be sure to keep them out of reach.

🔴 Why is Chocolate Dangerous?
Chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine, which dogs and cats process much slower than humans. Even small amounts can cause toxic reactions such as:
- Excessive thirst
- Rapid breathing & high heart rate
- Vomiting & diarrhea
- Tremors & seizures

The darker the chocolate, the more dangerous it is! Baking chocolate & cocoa powder are highly toxic, while milk and white chocolate contain lower levels of theobromine. Small pets are at even greater risk due to their size.

⚠️ Beware of Sugar-Free Candy!
Many sugar-free chocolates and candies contain xylitol, which is extremely toxic to pets. Even small amounts can cause seizures, liver failure, and a dangerous drop in blood sugar.

💖 Keep your Valentine’s treats safely stored away! If your pet ingests chocolate or candy, call your veterinarian ASAP. Let’s make this Valentine’s Day full of love - not emergency vet visits! 🐶🐱💕

💨🌬️High Wind Warnings🌬️💨
It is very windy and icy today! Please check your fences and gates. Make sure everything is secure.
Use pet safe ice melt for your dogs so they have an area to go potty.
If you don’t have a fenced in yard, just take them out on leash on your property, just for them to go potty and then bring them back in.
Please avoid long walks and icy roads for your safety of you and the dogs.
Please double leash, your dogs.
Use a belt and attach one of the leashes with a carabiner clip to a belt. This way, if you slip and fall, the leash is attached to you and your dog will stay secure to you.
Please be safe and do your due diligence for everyone’s safety.
Please check on your elderly neighbors and offer to help with their pets.
