A sunny summer day with these cuties is good for the soul. ❤️

And hopefully, it’s the last day for work-in-progress play yard visuals….the “missing piece” was finally delivered this week, so we can knock it all out this weekend. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Happy Thursday!

“My Dads went to Hawaii and all I got was this lousy shirt…”

But Brody…you look SO adorable in your Hawaiian shirt!
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

The play yard makeover is slowly taking shape! Today’s class approved this trial positioning of the bench…lots of happy jumping up to pose and trying out the opened up fort area. Maybe we’ll have it close to finished next week!

07/14/2024

Watching his human work in the play yard all morning is so exhausting, he needed a nap before tackling his bone. 😂

07/13/2024

Another Before and After:

Apparently there’s a fun Instagram / Tik Tok trend of the before/after impact of telling pups they’re a “good boy/girl” and it’s adorable. (First 3 pics from a random daycare)

So, we randomly tried it with the Friday group, but apparently, Savvy Dogs already KNOW they’re good, so we get the “yeah, yeah…what else ya’ got” looks! 😂😂😂

Oh well…we tried!!!

07/13/2024

The play yard is currently in transition, from adding some new shade areas to shoring up “the fort”. The pups are experiencing a variety of thoughts on these changes, from “this is cool!” to “what have you done with my favorite spot?” 😂. I’ve held off this week on pics of the pseudo-chaos, but finally thought a little peek midway through the makeover would be kind of fun…

Have a great weekend!!

07/09/2024

A cool (ish!) day before the heat settles in…Happy Tuesday!

07/05/2024

Josie Belle turns FOUR today and we celebrated her with cake, BFF’s and lots of attention!! She’s been such a good nursemaid to her Mama Lo, who is recovering from a knee replacement, so it was super fun having her in class today and rewarding her for being such a good girl!

Happy Birthday Josie!!

06/28/2024

Happy Tuesday!l

On May 30, 2023, this first picture popped up in my FB feed and I couldn’t get this little guy out of my head. I met him 2 days later and the look he gave me as I was leaving, (2nd pic!) pretty much sealed the deal. ❤️ After a brief foster-to-adopt arrangement graciously offered by Chain of Hope, who had saved his life, Mr. Mojo officially joined the family on 6/19/2023! And today, we celebrated his Gotcha! Day as well as his made-up birthday…and we think he’s 4 years old. 🤷🏼‍♀️

This little guy has brought so much joy and makes me laugh every day. Dogs are awesome!!!

Have a great weekend!

06/21/2024

Morning greetings from these two cuties!!

A Savvy Dog first today…a Half Birthday celebration for Duncan! Because when you’re 17.5, you just need to celebrate! He loved his Pupcake and begrudgingly left some for his classmates!

A smiley pic Tuesday that starts and ends with our sweet boy Max!!

Good morning from Breck & Fozzie!!

Morning greetings from these two cuties!!

Sweet Max and his family received the kind of heartbreaking diagnosis last week that all dog lovers dread. 💔 So, this guy is getting extra special attention from now on, here and at home, which he deserves 100%! ❤️ Today he got to help me open up the pool, all by himself (almost!) and had a ball playing his favorite “chase the hose” game while it filled up. (And don’t let that lone protest barker in the background fool you…they didn’t have to wait THAT long! Go Maxy, Go!

Forgot to post our Good Morning post in the morning! But they still wish you a very happy “rest of the day”!

We’re getting a new outside A/C unit today, so our schedule is a little weird! 2 big guys in the front 2 rooms, working hard, but making lots of banging and clanging noises was a little unsettling at first, but these guys are now rockin’ it! The distraction of our puzzle toy routine, Country Music serenading us on the overhead speaker and a treat circle anytime there’s some extra loud noises has relaxed the class into what you see in this video. 90 minutes down, maybe 30-60 to go….🤞🏻🔨💥👷🔩🤞🏻🥰 Happy Wednesday!!

We let these two show off their skills during some inside game time. These cousin boys can catch! #clearlynotdoodles 😉 #awesomeabuse 🫢🤷‍♀️

Random Friday play yard action and the start of the group pic!!

Wednesday pre-naptime wind down. ❤️

It’s the last week of March 😮 and time to highlight the progress on our monthly activities! Today we’re showing how being more consistent and intentional about “Back” and “Wait” has greatly improved our gate manners during puzzle toy and pickup times. Today’s class were rockstars! Happy Tuesday!

A sorta spooky early morning greeting from the Weim Sisters, aka Ruby & Nellie!!

A bonus “Hi!” Duo today….these two were just too cute to pass up! #brothers #siblingrivalry

A double dose of “Hi!” this morning! Lucy was getting a little impatient working on this solo (she was ready to play!), but add a little peer pressure / mentor help and she was in the game!

Most improved “Hi” this week! #gojosiego

This girl knows how to kick off the weekend! Happy Friday!

The Nap room doubles as a 1-1 Puzzle Toy studio, which makes staying back from the oh-so-tempting doorway a real challenge! Over the course of the last year, we had devolved to at least one or two “jailbreaks” almost every time we did a switch, which meant that I was not doing my job. So we began working on establishing a clear boundary back from the gate about 3 weeks ago. We still need a verbal reminder with most switches, but we’ve made great progress!

A solemn Good Morning from Bertie. ♥️ Happy Wednesday!

Happy Tuesday morning from CP!

It was a beautiful day for a combo walk! I’ve had a sore knee that is finally back to about 80%, so we got in some brisk walking and then ended up at the park, where Mojo took the lead. He decided where we wandered and at what speed (within reason!) and I just followed obediently, as long as he kept his leash loose. He’s made great progress on his leash manners in the last few weeks and he rocked this session today! Lots of sniffing and exploring, which works that doggie brain and the freedom-while-together format is great for relationship building. Happy Saturday!

Now that the Super Bowl excitement has died down and our year is well underway, it’s time for a fresh approach to sharing our school days. I’ll be rolling out a new “curriculum” for our Savvy Dogs over the next few weeks and will be sharing our progress on this page with weekly posts. There will be a little more structured and educational content, but still plenty of funny, silly, adorable pictures to make us smile! The theme for March is “Around the Office” and we’re working on getting everyone up to speed on our school manners cues like “Break”, “Back” (away from the gates) and “Wait”. We’re also learning how to wave “Hi” for fun and today’s class wanted to share their progress! Some are just learning and some already know this trick, but everyone had fun getting the 1-1 attention and of course, the treats! Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

We’re working on polite greetings with Miss Lucy and today, Mojo wanted to teach her to wave “Hi”. (And play keep away!). We’re not there yet, but they did have fun practicing!!
