I hope you all find the humor in this that I did 🤣
If you've been in the space and had to go out back, you know the struggle of this door and lock.
The lock would get stuck or lock weirdly and it would cause some traffic jams. And then you all have to listen to the same old joke "oh that's on the never ending list of things to fix that just never gets fixed"
A fancy new lock that is designed to always line up has some high expectations to meet but keep your fingers crossed for me🤞
Wicked excited to share this at home comprehensive gut health test by @innovativepetlab
If you've been around for a while you will know two things about CJ - he is allergic to chicken products and he is currently experiencing some liver/gallbladder issues. Any answers or information I can gather to know and help what is going on inside of him is priceless in my opinion.
I do have a link for you - https://lvnta.com/lv_7AS0nSPhejvfagzUJ5
They do offer other at home tests as while so there is something for everyone.
This kit is not a replacement for veterinarian care but it's a great addition to your pups care.
Couple of housekeeping items -
1. My next round of classes are full. This will be the last round for the year. However if there is interest in doing condensed classes where they would happen all in the same week instead of over the course of four or five weeks I will make that happen.
2. 'Tis the season for kennel cough. No confirmed cases here but just your reminder if your dog is sick please keep them home!
3. This is more of a personal housekeeping item. I know everything is expensive right now, but I just ask if you see something in my shoppe and then choose to purchase it elsewhere please don't tell me. You can of course shop wherever you like, but it breaks my little small business heart when you tell me you got the products I offer from a big retailer. I do offer an Amazon storefront for those who aren't local if you find it absolutely necessary to tell me you purchased from a big retailer maybe at least use this link - https://www.amazon.com/shop/karenandcj
Watching your dog get older is not fun at all. However, I'm so glad we live in a time when there are so many things to help our pups age gracefully.
I certainly wish we had purchased this harness when CJ had his TPLO surgery, but we have it now!
The harness may seem a bit confusing to put on at first, but I promise it's actually quite easy.
Any questions about the harness I'm happy to try to answer them. Check out Help Em Up Harness for more information as well.
This was entirely my fault and a complete accident.
Rosie was just excited and I was rushing to say bye as I needed to leave. I bent down to smooch her and she jumped up at the same moment. Leading to this beauty.
So just a reminder for you to not lean over your dog or any dog for that matter.
I'm behind on share snippets of the week of fun classes.
Here a video I got from Tuesday night's class of stays.
Great work everyone!
I just realized I never actually shared what we got into the shoppe the other day.
Enjoy!
CJ's sass was on full display this morning getting ready for our walk.
Don't forget your orange!
It may not look like much, but Attention on You is so hard for dogs when there are lot of distractions around.
Being able to keep calm and listen to you can be really challenging for some dogs especially younger pups.
Good training looks like nothing much is happening. But really there is sooo much being said here between dog and handler.
These pups absolutely rocked it tonight.
Video of information for those attending the Week of Fun classes 😄
Winner of the free one hour private session raffle is - June and Sappho!
New long line colors have arrived at the shoppe!
You won't be disappointed with a new Landshark Supply long lime.
Stop by today and get your dog a new long line to help them explore safely this long weekend.
Switching your dog's food can always feel a little daunting.
@thepetstable takes the guess work out of how much and when to add or take away certain foods.
Your dog eats the same thing everyday more the most part, why not make it a little bit more tasty then just boring kibble each day?
You can pick from three different protein options currently. We went with the 50/50 option. 50% fresh food, 50% air dried food. The air dried option makes for a great training treat too!
You can try @thepetstable too. Use code Timeless50 and you will get 50% off your first order and 20% your second order.
There is still some training you have to do, but this is by fair the easiest way to help with pulling.
Now, a long line is different than a retractable leash. I personally don't use or recommend retractable leashes as you don't have as much control and they can lock/unlock randomly.
A long line is just an extra long leash. You can get them in any length you feel comfortable with. I prefer 20 to 25ft.
If we keep our dogs on a 4ft to 6ft leash of course they are going to pull! They don't have as much freedom to get to what they want.
The long lines give our dogs freedom while still respecting any leash laws as well as helping other out walking their dogs not have to worry about your dog running up to theirs.
We've partnered with @thepetstable to bring fresh food right to your dog's door!
We all know fresh is best for our dogs but sometimes figuring out how to do that can be challenging.
Thanks to @thepetstable you don't need to struggle through that process.
Follow along as I share how CJ's enjoys this new food.
Use code Timeless50 to get 50% off your first order and 20% off your second one!

*we don't food shame around here so if you can't afford something or just prefer to feed kibble that is absolutely okay!
My last client of the day is always my favorite, CJ aka the clean up crew for any missed treats 💚
For the month of August, every thing of treats you buy gets you entered for the chance to win a FREE one hour private session. Value of $115.
Don't want a private session? If you win I will donate the amount to your favorite animal rescue!
Come by to buy some treats today! Open until 5pm
In case anyone was wondering, I don't just talk about enrichment for dogs on the internet.
My dogs (while Rosie doesnt really care what form her food takes if we're being honest, but shes a lab so that doesnt really count as lab owners know) will not eat unless it's in an enrichment toy.
Open until 5pm today. I am thinking about carrying this style of enrichment bowl so if you would like that let me know!
We are continuing to make our way around the house with our painting project. So please excuse the mismatched house but I think she is going to look real nice when all is said and done 💚
