And a nice recall from start to finish. Beautiful name recognition, trotted to me and sat on arrival, and waited until released! This boy is coming along 😊.

Here he is offering some nice check-ins even though he’s away from me.

Crush and I enjoyed some 1:1 time in the park yesterday. Here he is working on his off leash heeling.

This girl made her debut today competing in her first ever Scent Work trial! She knocked it out of the park earning 3 out of 3 qualifying scores in Containers, Interiors, & Exteriors. No luck needed here, she’s a super sniffer 😊!

Our Laservision doggles arrived today! They are to protect our eyes from the red light laser mom bought for us. Aren’t we just the coolest canines 😉?

How do you spend your rainy mornings? Well, this is what it looks like around here. Charlie was up early and hit the ground running. I was hoping to do some admin, but she wanted to be entertained, so…I gave her a job to do! The boys were happy for some work too 😉.

Go Birds 🦅!
Please ignore the white board. Took this photo of the boys Fall 2023. Being from the Philly burbs, we are ALL Eagles fans around here 😉!

What a difference a day makes! We were thrilled for the cooler weather today and enjoyed a nice walk in the park 😊.

With the weather being so unseasonably warm, we had a spa day around here today. Charlie, Sonny, and Crusher are looking and feeling good. So much so that Sonny is strutting his stuff 😉.

How can this be that this day isn’t on my radar each year? It nearly got away from me. Wishing all of you a Happy GOLDEN RETRIEVER day!!!

We are celebrating a birthday around here! Please join me in wishing Traeger a very Happy 3rd Birthday 🎉!

I have to get dressed and “go to work”. Do you think he’s trying to tell me something? He’s hijacked my sneaker 😉!

I know many of you knew Kathy, our training center cat, and your doggos either loved him or wanted to eat him 😳! Sadly, we had to say goodbye to him on January 8. He was dropping weight like crazy and had some masses in his throat. We suspected cancer.

Kathy was happy to sit on the lap of our students while they were here for class or a consultation, he loved a sweet puppy and a calm, cat-friendly dog. He was always happy to have the opportunity to steal a few snacks from your treat pouch or the dogs food bowl. He will be dearly missed . 1/7/2011-1/8/2025.
