For my dog trainer friends. Kristen Potter with Kompletely K-9 and I are hosting Robin MacFarlane for her Ecademy 5 day Train the Trainer course. Elevate your skills and improve your technique. The class size is small, so spots are limited. Register with Robin today.

Ecademy 5 Day Train the Trainer Course Update:

Announcing two courses for 2025. Montville, Maine (May22nd - 26th), Estes Park, Colorado (June 12th - 16th)

A few key things to know about the 5 Day Train the Trainer course:

Groups are intentionally kept small so that each student gets significant hands on experience and one to one attention.

All spots are working spots.
A frequent comment about this course is "𝐼'𝑣𝑒 𝑛𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑡𝑜 𝑎 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑤𝑒 𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑜𝑔𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑝𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑡𝑒𝑐ℎ𝑛𝑖𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑚𝑢𝑐ℎ!”

This Ecademy course is focused on pet dog training.
I am not a former competitor or sport dog trainer. I am pet dog trainer that built a highly successful business that dominated in it’s local market. After 23 years, I sold that company, but rather than retire, I’ve continued my passion to help other pro trainers understand the essential components that success is built on: training skill, exceptional instructing techniques and a bit of business savvy.

This course is worth your time and money, but don't take my word for it, check out this testimonial from a recent attendee.

Lola is looking for a new home. She is a 1 1/2 year old, 55 lb., intact female golden retriever. She is your typical golden retriever. She is super friendly and is good with people, dogs and cats. She will need obedience lessons and someone with the patience and time to help her set her boundaries. She is going to be a great companion to the right person. I am posting this for a friend in hopes of finding the right match. If you are interested, reach out to me and I will put you in touch with the person rehoming her.

As temperatures rise, please be aware of the danger they may put your dog in.

Working in ER this past week: We had four heat injuries each day for two days straight. Four of these were French Bulldogs, which happens to be the most common US breed these days. The others were three Rottweilers (brachycephalic by exam) and one Pit X.

Only ONE survived. NOT a Frenchie. Not a brachycepahlix breed. The Pit X.

Why? He happened to be playing in a pond. He ran and played with kids on land and then in the shallow pond water in 95 F 85% humidity weather until he collapsed. The humidity at his breathing level was probably a lot more, since it was approx 12 inches above water level.

They recognized a problem and brought him in… from one hour away.

On arrival
he was HYPOTHERMIC. Low body temp. Typical of heat injury. We warmed him up, treated his other abnormalities and within a
few hours he waa normal. Like NORMAL. No kidney failure. No coagulopahty. NO PROBLEMS.

Why is this? Probably because this dog reached critical heat injury when he happened to be in the best environement for treatment… IMMEDIATE cooling in water that was colder than him.

RAPID cooling with the coldest source available is what saves dogs with heat injury.

It’s time ro let go of the old wive’s tales of how ice water causes vasoconstriction or that rapid cooling is bad. HEAT is what causes death in heat inrjury, not the coolong method.
