Wednesdays are what we call the "party day" because we have a large group of labs and goldens 😆 We are short of a few regulars today due to the holiday week but we thought we would show about how many join us on Wednesdays!

From left to right we have Duke, Chewy, Hobbes, Gabby, Dewey, Nimbus, Chloe, Chaga, Norah, Ruby, Goose, Gunner, Lily and Porter!

Day School Lesson of the Day: The Power of Resilience! 🧠

Maui joined us for his second day of Day School where we are working on his environmental confidence! You can see him shy away from the dog riding in a wheelchair the first time he saw it, which is a very normal response to something new and different.

The great news? The second time he encountered it, he was relaxed and confident! This rapid recovery is exactly what we're building.

Stressful moments are unavoidable. The key isn't eliminating stress, but teaching our dogs to build a resilient recovery response to it. This is how we prepare them for a lifetime of confidence!

Happy belated birthday to our resident comedian, Benson (aka the Class Clown of Maven)! 😂 This goofy goober turned 6 yesterday, but the six-year-old energy is definitely still set to "puppy power"!
