We are excited to be able to offer this Fenzi TEAM class!
With the Fenzi TEAM titling program, you can earn titles by video while working on your dog's foundation skills. It's a great way to find those little holes in your training - and fix them before you ever enter a ring. The skills covered are especially applicable to Rally, Obedience, and Freestyle, but there is something for you if you and your dog do Nose Work, Parkour, Agility, or even just tricks! All sport dogs need to learn how to work in the face of distractions or when you don't have any food on you - two skills covered in this program, and useful for all dogs in real-world situations
The next class starts Wednesday 8/28/2024 @ 5:00 PM

It can be a difficult time for your pups! What are you doing to prepare for the fireworks?
Keep pets inside on July 4th!
🎆🎇🧨
It's that time of the year! Reach out to your vet NOW if you think you will need some meds to help keep your pup calm and safe.
If you do end up with an emergency and your pup needs to be seen on the 4th, Veterinary Emergency Group in San Ramon is a wonderful ER where you can stay with your pup through 98% of their visit.
Join us for AKC Virtual Rally Run Throughs
Starting: 7/17/2024 @ 6:30 PM
Meets for 4 Weeks
Practice your rally skills on full courses, with the option to video your runs so you can submit them for titling legs! Each week will feature one or two official AKC Virtual Rally courses, depending on what levels everyone wants to work on. A tripod and clip-on wide-angle lens will be available so you can use your own phone or camera to video your runs either to submit to AKC for legs or for your own information. If you're not ready to record and submit legs, you can practice your walk-through skills, entering the "ring", and other trial behaviors, plus working through the entire course with your dog.
This is not an introductory Rally class - you must already be familiar with how Rally works in general (although not necessarily with all the signs) to participate. Dogs must be able to handle confinement in a properly equipped vehicle away from handlers (we will not be crating in the building). Bring your treats and toys! Multiple dogs per handler are ok!

We were contacted by The Dog Aging Project team and wanted to share with everyone.
They will follow tens of thousands of companion dogs for ten years in order to identify factors that maximize healthy longevity and help future generations of dogs live the best lives possible. Dogs of all ages are welcome, but the research team can learn the most from dogs who are enrolled as puppies, ideally before they’ve been spayed or neutered.
Our Barn Hunt followers had first dibs but we wanted to share with a wider audience that we are having Advanced Skills Workshops this Saturday!
See original post for details and registration!
Our next Advanced Skills Barn Hunt Workshops are on the calendar!
Who is this intended for? Teams who are in their “Senior Slump” or struggling in Master’s. This will give you the chance to work on areas that you’re struggling on and watch other teams and learn by watching them work together as well!

We have added weekday morning classes to the calendar to help those who have flexibility in their schedule to take a class during the day! This will help with working from home because you'll go home with a pup who has been using their brain and will likely be able to settle while you get some work done!!

If you have time and space in your home, consider becoming a foster family for Valley Humane Society!
Now's your chance to make an impact in the lives of our furry friends! 🐶🐱 Valley Humane Society needs your help to save even more precious lives! 💕 It's a great time to consider becoming a foster family, as kitten and puppy season are here.
Take the first step by attending a Foster Family Workshop on April 24th at 5:00 PM. Discover how YOU can help these wonderful cats and dogs! 🦸♂️🦸♀️
Opening your heart and home as a foster family means more than just cuddles and kisses (although there will be plenty of those!). It means giving cats and dogs another chance at happiness, love, and finding their new families. 🏡💖
By becoming a foster family, you'll be preparing our furry friends for adoption, possibly providing a safe haven for sick or injured animals to heal, and helping young animals thrive and grow. 🌟
Don't worry about supplies - we've got you covered! From veterinary care to food and everything in between, we'll provide all the essentials. 🎁 All you need to bring is your time, love, and attention! ❤️🐾
RSVP at the link in our bio, then plan to head over to Valley Humane's Community Room at 3670 Nevada Street in Pleasanton on Wednesday, April 24 at 5:00 PM. See you there! 🌈✨
Recent graduates Chardonnay, Ellie, Opal & Poppy finished our level 1 class with Holly and learned and grew so much over the 6 week class!

While we are nowhere near the path of totality, these are good reminders
🌒 Eclipse Alert! 🌒 Wondering how to keep your furry pals safe during Monday's celestial show? Here are some insights from this astronomy nerd and dog lover:
⭐ Although the path of totality fluctuates, eclipses are regularly occurring events.
⭐ Dogs don't typically stare at the sun. Humans do! 🌞
⭐ I have judged dog sports outdoors during a recent eclipse. The dogs worked normally. The humans were easily distracted. 🌌
⭐ Even though dogs may not share our eclipse excitement, mine enjoy the extra snacks for fun photos (they have adventured to many with me)!📸
But here's the scoop:
🌒 Humans tend to get a bit... well, weird during eclipses. 😅 They walk into the street, stop their cars in traffic, leave doors and gates open without thinking. It's a safe choice to keep your dog safely contained during the event.
Remember, every pup is different. If yours is sensitive to changes or human behavior, play it safe and keep them indoors. But if your pooch is up for it and you're in a safe spot, feel free to enjoy the eclipse together! 🐶✨
Be safe and enjoy! It's gonna be paws-itively amazing! 🐾🌟
📸 Check out these eclipse-ready pups from the 2017 event, taken in the path of totality. Emma and Penelope rocking their eclipse glasses like pros but also looking at a visual target for cute photos and NOT at the sun. 🕶️🐶

We provide them with mental stimulation through changing their cages up and puzzle toys!
