Marzen is spending the day at River View getting his teeth cleaned. I am not embarrassed to admit that I do cry a little every time I have to leave them. I think it's a little harder to leave him because he's such a sensitive boy and not always super comfortable with strangers.

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up, we will be attempting to send out this reminder before boarding reservations. Everyone's getting them. I don't want anyone to feel singled out. We know the weekend schedule can be confusing since it's different than during the week. Likewise, not all boarding clients remember the daycare pick up and drop off schedule. If you need to make changes to your reservation, please let us know, and we will do what we can to accommodate you. If you show up early, feel free to shoot us a text, and we will come out as soon as we can. We can not promise it will be prompt. If you're going to be late, please let us know as soon as you know so we can make a plan. We will try to be flexible, but there's a lot happening in the evenings right now, so we might not be able to stay late. I added a few other reminders that come up as well. Happy Tuesday, everyone.

Please double-check that you have a reservation before dropping off. We've had a lot of unexpected visitors this month. We will always do our best to accommodate when we can, but we have decreased our total kennels to make room for other fun things and can't hold as many dogs. We do have some reservations available for established clients this month and in May, so get your dates booked and reach out if you have any questions. Thanks, everyone!

We've had a really great dog weekend so far! Friday night Saison, Kolsch, and Gose had a fantastic time running Tunnelers at their first NADAC trial at in years! Gose and I have been going to regular agility lessons, but the other two girls haven't gotten to play agility much lately, so I was super impressed and proud of how well they ran and listened. Tunnelers is always a great way to dip your feet back in! So fun.
Today was sheep day. Shandy did a quick run, but mostly, we went for Sazzy, who did a fantastic job. She even made it into the big field for the first time and handled it great. So blown away by this girls talent.

First solo group leash walk of the season. We ran most of it, and it actually felt great. It's a lot easier to run when you have 7 dogs pulling you, plus you can't even think about how miserable it is because you'll end up tripping over someone. The dogs were perfect. They had fantastic manners the entire walk aside from one messy goose encounter.

Shandy pretending like she didn't just bark her way through Gose's entire agility class. My favorite thing about the van and these mild temperatures is everyone can come with me everywhere, which allows for a lot of spontaneous adventures. But not everyone is good at waiting patiently or taking turns. We're going to have to set up some sort of camera so I can occasionally remind them that I'm still nearby and can hear their complaints loud and clear.

I forgot to post this Monday, but on the 7th we celebrated 8 years with Saison and 6 years with Marzen. Humans celebrate with ice cream cake. Dogs celebrated with a cheese party. Where does time go?

A quick little Chloe video. Chloe is a fascinating dog. She is super cute and smart and has more quirks than any one animal has a right to. Sometimes these quirks bring out some interesting behaviors. This week she has been hesitant about putting on her collar to go home. She’s also been struggling to walk out to her car. When she is having a hard time she dies a dramatic fake death while screaming. She has a lot of strong opinions about life and she’s very sensitive. Because of this I think she has a lot of trigger stacking going on and at the end of the day when she’s tired paired with the excitement of going home she just kind of melts down. To help this Megan did some collar on and off work to create a stronger positive reinforcement history with putting her collar and leash on. She then did a little leash work, letting Chloe practice calmly moving around and reinforcing her for solid calm behaviors. She did so amazing in the session so now we can ask for a little more and we’ll keep working on this same level of calm confidence all the way to the car. Dogs are such interesting little puzzles.
