Group training can work even if you have a new baby. Life changes can present new training challenges but training can still be a lot of fun. Dogs, cats, and kids can train together with a little bit of forethought and planning.

If anyone wants to get involved in dog sports and doesn't mind traveling a little ways, here are some great opportunities. Volunteering is a great way to learn about dog sports.
I hope everyone is able to find a way to enjoy the warmth and sunshine. Spring is often a time when dogs need a little extra training and support to be successful.
I am happy to help you with a personalized training plan so being out with your dog is more fun.
I hope everyone found some time to go to the pumpkin patch this fall. Going during the week when it is less active is a good idea if you are planning on brining a young dog or a dog who is easily excited by people. We had a great time walking around.
Finding things to train while pregnant that we all find fun is often difficult. This is an example of a training session that both teaches a useful skill to my dog and keeps me from lots of up and down or running around.
Cats can learn to enjoy nail care. Appropriate nail care can prevent injury to other house hold members and destruction of furniture. Here is a video demonstration of nail trim training https://youtu.be/NewW9IPqt8o.

I hope you can come! Thank you Beth Perrault for sharing your experience with us!
Martok likes to cool down with the end of the watermelon. This can be a fun summer treat for many dogs. If you are concerned that your dog will eat the entire rind or not reliquish it when finished, it is better to give chopped pieces.
No Puppy Class Tonight. Normal classes resume next week.

Hi everyone. Martok and I had a good time at our first NACSW odor recognition test. It was a good learning experience for both of us. I know what we need to do more for practice. It was fun to meet other people who are interested in scent work. The K9 Nose did a wonderful job hosting. As an added bonus, he passed one of the odors. If you want more information about the sport, you can find that here https://www.nacsw.net/about-us-0. The K9 Nose regularly hosts odor recognition tests. If you would like more information about them, they can be found here https://www.thek9nose.com/. If you would like help getting started with scent work with your dog let me know. I would be happy to help. It is a great sport for many dogs. You can see our less successful run here https://youtu.be/oxfnRk_Xq-A

I just tried out the Neewa canicross belt. It fits me comfortably and has significantly reduced tenstion on my lower back when trying to jog with my dog hands free. Although it is far from a one size fits all, if it does fit it seems to work very well.
Distractions on walks are extremely more prevalent in the spring than they are in the winter. Here is a video explaining how you can help. For more information visit https://rwanimalbehavior.com/spring-is-here/
