Classes will be starting back up Friday August 23rd! This will be the last round of classes for this summer!

I have added four new classes!
The 1st class that has been newly added is a Group Practice class on Friday evenings. This class is FREE and will be led by my daughter. This is a good opportunity to work on solidifying skills and learning a few new tricks. This is also a good opportunity if you have a child who has been wanting to work with your dog and just needs a little gentle guidance. This class is open to the first four to fill it and requires your dog to know basic obedience.

The 2nd new class is Scent Work! This dog sports class introduces your dog to finding the source of the scent and gives a better understanding of how odor travels. Your dog will learn how to identify and indicate to you the source of the odor.

The 3rd new class is a Dog Sports Sampler. In this class you will get to sample Agility, Scent Work, and Rally.

The 4th new class is the second level of Trick Dog. Those who have taken the first level will be able to continue on and learn even more new tricks with their dogs!

Classes can fill very quickly! Call (907-795-0088), email ([email protected]), or message me on Facebook for more details or to sign up for classes.

Friday:
• + Behavior 101 5:00pm-6:00pm

Yesterday I took in young Cyril for board and train. We have a lot to work on over the next week, but he is a very smart little man and is picking up things very quickly. His owners unfortunately weren’t able to do much training with him for the first several months due to circumstances beyond their control. So we are going to help them get a jump start.

One of the biggest hurtles they were having trouble overcoming was getting Cyril to get in his crate. Yesterday we had several very short training sessions playing crate games. Today we spent most of the day teaching classes and traveling so we only had a short time to play crate games tonight, but look at all that progress! Great job Cyril! Such a good boy 💕

My four year old training with my four year old 😁 what we do when waiting in line for yummy food ☺️ she’s not always super clear on her cues but these two are learning to work together beautifully.

Took the doggos for a hike in Seward last weekend. What is better than wandering through the woods? Wandering through the woods with 8 dogs! We all had a blast!

We were lucky enough to spend the week with this guy!!! Puck had a very adventurous week and we loved every second of it! Such a fun sweet boy! Come stay with us any time Puckaroo!!!

We took Loki to hike around at the Eagle River Nature Center this past Thursday. He had a great time! Loki is my 13 year old boy and is now the oldest dog in our pack. He’s been dealing with some medical issues lately but has been doing well. He really enjoyed the fresh air.

We took Sam out to a campsite yesterday when we went to hang out with some friends. He had a super fun time! Good boy Sam!

Yesterday my daughter and I took Kisa and Cas up the Butte in the valley. It was a beautiful day and we had a lot of fun. We reinforced our recall, stays, trail manners, and walking by other hikers and healing off leash. Even when other off leash dogs approached them while in a down stay. It was super fun! Just look at those smiles! And those tongues!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Hello Seward friends, I have decided to push the start of classes back by one week to give people more time to register for classes. We will be starting classes Friday the 9th instead of the 2nd. Thank you for patience. I want to make sure we give everyone the opportunity to join.

After this weekend’s agility trial, we popped over to 49th State Kennels to Their link below ⬇️

We hung out for a little while chatting with the owner (who is absolutely lovely) and checking out all their new merch. We also got a few new treats and a toy for the dogs ❤️❤️❤️

One of my favorite moments from this past weekend. It was a rough weekend all around. The weather was being difficult, this was the first outside competition of the year, we haven’t had time to practice much lately, and an event happened that shook us all to our core and brought on deep sadness to the agility community. But this was a good moment. This was not a qualifying run and we have a lot of work to do, but I’m so very proud of my boy. He had a lot of good moments. ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you enjoy this video.

Day one of the agility competition complete and we Cas practiced a distance stay while I reinforced our tent against the wind for the night. Day two is in progress, but far from over.
