Let’s Focus on Friday July 11, 2025 Wrap up

Once again, our Let’s Focus on Friday workshop for July was full of learning, inspiration and laughter. This month’s focus was an introduction to balance and strength work for our dogs as well as an introduction to the one jump exercise of around the clock. Handlers were also surprised with a human balance exercise and we talked about ways to make it more challenging as their balance improves.

During our summer series of Cool Games for the Hot Summer we were treated to AC in the Pets Behave training room and while we were working on balance, most of the floor was covered with everything from Cato boards to off-brand inflatable discs to yoga blocks and even sponges for the little dogs. My goal was to inspire students to look at things in their house, both stable and unstable, to illustrate that they don’t have to break the bank to find exercise “equipment.”

And for the 1-Jump around the clock exercise, when our dogs understand how to approach the jump from different angles 4’ to 5’ away, it will make the same angles from 15’ or 20’ away much easier. Start close, develop the understanding and then slowly work on the distance.

I am so thankful to everyone who is choosing to come to these workshops. We hope YOU will join us soon! August date and topic will be announced soon.

🎆 4th of July Dog Safety Tips 🇺🇸🐾
Fireworks, parties, and summer chaos can turn the holiday into a scary and dangerous time for our dogs. Here’s how to keep your pup safe, calm, and secure before the booms begin:

🔒 Secure the Space
Check that your yard, gates, and home are escape-proof. Even confident dogs may bolt if startled by sudden loud noises.

🆔 Double Check ID Tags & Microchips
Make sure tags are up to date, legible, and securely attached. Confirm your microchip info is current—you don’t want to be searching with outdated contact details.

🏡 Create a Safe Retreat
Set up a cozy den with blankets, their favorite toys, and water. Cover crates or use blackout curtains to help block flashing lights. Some pups do best in small, quiet bathrooms or closets.

🔊 Mask the Noise
Use calming music, fans, or white noise machines to muffle firework sounds. Bonus: try a calming playlist made just for dogs!

🍔 Watch the Party Food
Keep human food, alcohol, and trash out of reach. Skewers, bones, corn cobs, and fatty foods can all be dangerous—and dogs are stealthy when BBQ smells are involved!

💊 Prep Calming Support Now
Talk to your vet before the 4th. They may recommend calming chews, wraps, or short-term medications if your dog struggles with noise anxiety.

🐾 Exercise Early, Settle Before Dark
Plan extra playtime and potty breaks earlier in the day. A tired dog is a calmer dog—and less likely to panic.

💥 Let’s make sure the only thing lighting up the sky is fireworks—not missing pet posts.
Stay safe, stay prepared, and give your dogs lots of love this week! ❤️🐶

What a great Focus on Friday workshop with the amazing Lisa Graham!

Summer Solstice was a perfect time to have the June Let’s Focus on Friday Workshop! Our topic was Cool Games for the Hot Summer. We worked inside all night while the evening sizzled outside. AC and ceiling fans provided a very comfortable night of training. Games presented are perfect for the hot summer days - the bowl to bowl (B2B) game can easily be done inside and the 2 cone game can fit in your back yard for short sequences that will exercise your dog’s body AND mind. Handlers were encouraged to reward often and keep every session short.

The Topic and Date for the July Let’s Focus on Friday Workshop will be announced soon!
Stay tuned!
