Did you know that the agility sport for dogs first arrived in the 1980s?
Originally used as a stopgap of entertainment at the Crufts Dog Show, agility quickly sparked the interest of those across the world.
Thus creating the sport we love today. 🐩

Picture of my old agility pup.
My first sport and my first sport dog. So many joyful and fulfillment memories agility brought us. ❤️

So here is the reason for today’s topic (drumroll please)…🥁
Registration for our Intro to Agility class is open to the public!!!!!

Starting September 12th at 5:00pm.
Our agility coach will introduce you to contacts, lines, handling, etc. over the course of 4 weeks. Strengthening you and your dog’s relationship and building confidence along the way. This class will be a sure way to start something fun with your pup while learning to become a better handler.
Class will be a hour long and will held at our location.

Please message us for more information or click the registration link below.

Looking forward to seeing y’all there! 🌱

To all the dogs past and present, happy national dog day! Each and every dog I’ve had the honor of working with us touched my life in a number of ways. Cheers to another year of slobber and fur!

08/08/2021

As dog training is gaining popularity, it seems like I’m running more and more into “experts” of the canine species.

YouTube trainers, new trainers teaching other trainers, and the amount of online dog training courses folks can buy. All these sources are feeding consumers with “I know it all” knowledge. Most of these teachings only scratch the surface or maybe just teach outdated information.

The animal husbandry field is always evolving. New ideas, good ideas, and even bad ideas are being taught daily. It’s a career you will never fully master.

Heck, I’m personally driving across the country to go learn more and I’ve been working professionally with animals for 10 years.

So back to my original thought, these experts I’m running into who ask myself or colleagues for help with their dog. These guys will dismiss any information provided and give us the solution they have come up with that will help their dog.

“Just make my dog do obedience commands when he or she is excited.”
“Just correct the dog for acting out.”
“Just let the dog play with others for socialization.”
Etc.

While yes we can do all the above suggestions, why would we?

None of those touch the emotional being part of the dog.

It’s a bandaid for a bandaid that is a gaping wound.

So our training process and some of our colleagues’ process probably looks different from what you have seen online.

And that’s okay.

It’s about the well-being of your furry friend. It’s about providing your dog with the best life they can achieve and teaching you how to work the reins.

Not all training is created equal, so find the style that fits yours and your dog’s life.

And for the love of dogs, stop being an expert and become a student. 🌱

Look at this handsome boy! So glad I got to spend some time with him in May! A huge shout out to all my pet parents for trusting me into your homes with your favorite four legged companions. Invoices are out. Working on keys. Hope to see y’all in the future ❤️

A valuable lesson no matter what

For the next time somebody says your prices are too high, remember all of the work you have put in and all of the dedication you bring. 💪

We all know it’s not all puppy cuddles and kitty kisses! Pricing is difficult, not exactly a linear process, and is something we have to approach from our own viewpoint and background.

You are worth it!

Maria asked “what’s a gas shortage?” My response “nothing you need to worry about. So long as you’ve got food... you’ll have gas” 💩💨
