It’s National puppy day. Show us your puppy.

This an important read. The most important message is that dogs do not like hugs.

Hugging is a normal behavior for humans, but dogs often find it hard to understand and anxiety-inducing.

It is OK to tell your dog, "NO". But, does he know what it means?

Just because the tail is wagging, doesn’t mean the dog is friendly.

This is sad. People please clean up after your dogs.

🚨 Attention, Marshall community! 🚨 Starting this Friday, January 5, please be advised that dogs will no longer be allowed on the Marshall Athletic Fields within the fenced-in area. 🐾 This decision is in response to ongoing concerns about dog waste not being properly cleaned up by owners.

🚫 We love our four-legged friends, but in order to maintain a clean and safe environment for everyone, this new policy will help us ensure the fields remain enjoyable for all. Please respect this rule and help us keep our athletic facilities in good condition.

🙏 We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. Let's work together to make sure our Marshall Athletic Fields continue to be a great space for sports and recreation! 🏀⚽️🏈

Koda has found her new home.

10/10/2023

This is Koda a 1 year old spayed female German Shepherd who needs to be re-homed. She is a sweet moderately high energy dog who is crate trained, housebroken, and has begun basic obedience. She needs an active family who can match her energy and provide her with the structure that she needs. She is an excellent candidate for those interested in dog sports.
Both Ends of the Leash will help to evaluate the new home for appropriateness for Koda. In addition, there is unused training sessions that will transfer to the new owners.
All interested parties will be screened and evaluated by us with final approval by the owners.

Happy Birthday Ivan Pavlov. Born in Russia in 1849, Pavlov's research gave us the conditioned response. It was that research that gave us the ability to "mark" the behaviors we want in our dogs.
