Appreciation is shown in so many ways, when a visit is done with the dogs. Happy Tails has a Therapy Dog Class that helps you and your dog get out and see if it is a right fit for you and your dog. We go to assisted living/nursing home settings and bring the smile where we can. Today they really made someone's day, who was feeling a little sad (per their verbal report.)

Come join in, watch, learn, and see a different kind of sport to try with your dog. River will be practicing up for this, as this will be his first time.

Did you know that a Chesapeake Bay Retriever is breed to blend into the fall surroundings? This is their camouflage for hunting purposes, so the ducks and geese don't spot them as easily when the fly into the hunters area. Here you see a picture of a brown chessie blending into the dark grass of its surroundings.

These pictures show what progress can be made by working through baby steps, building a trust, and allowing a dog to work through its stress. 5 weeks ago this guy was not in a space mentally that he could even meet River yet. Now they went for their first walk together. By building him up slowly, not forcing him through things, giving him space to understand, he is now on his way to new adventures. There will always be challenges with every dog, but we need to allow them to safely grow through each challenge.

Some days are just right! I'm very thankful for this big slobbery guy and his family. I'm thankful fate brought us together, and they gave Happy Tails a try with him. I wish I had videos of every session, so everyone could see his progress. I wish I had that for every dog and owner, so all could see how progress is made.
