Preview of one of the goodies we’re giving out at the AKC Fetch Test on November 10th 🙂

Nothing says fall like plaid! Everyone who enters will get a fun fall bandana… We’ve got a ton of colors to choose from! There’s still a couple of days left to pre-enter… Pre-entries close Sunday at 11:59pm!

It’s very hard to show a pic of a bandana on a dog with a long beard, by the way. I told him to “wait” and tossed a piece of cheese so I could get a profile view. He apparently thinks he’s a pointer. A Cheese Pointer! Brand new breed 😁

🏵️Rosettes for the AKC Fetch test happening on July 28th! 🏵️

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

We will be having the advanced and retriever rosettes revised as there was a miscommunication and the rainbows were not incorporated into the top portion, but the second photo is a little sneak peek at what they will look like… Just imagine more rainbows 💭🌈

Pre-Entries are CLOSING on Sunday, July 21st. Afterwards we will only accept day-of entries. Make sure to get in those entries ASAP! We will also have free rainbow tennis balls and tie-dye bandanas for ALL entrants, so even if you don’t manage to title you’ll be taking home some fun goodies 🥳

Please let me know if you need the entry info!

Hello everyone!

Super duper excited to announce that Dog-Abilities LLC and I are hosting another AKC FETCH Test! 🥳

This time we were able to secure a fully fenced baseball field right in Cincinnati at Bicentennial Park! Many thanks to Green Township for giving us permission to use the field when typically no dogs are allowed.

Since the field is big enough, we will be able to test ALL LEVELS this time 🎾 I’m super excited to get the chance to judge the higher levels.

Entries open at ❕8:00 AM EST June 1st❕ Entries made prior to this date will be refunded.

Our theme for this test will be Tie Dye. We are planning on having a really cute photo op set up and really pretty rainbow rosettes. 🏵️ We will make sure to share those closer to test date ☺️

This is Reggie! 🐾

🥰 Reggie is a very good boy, but needs some help because he has BIG FEELINGS about strange people and dogs being in his space!

🐶 A lot of dogs have big feelings. That doesn’t make them bad dogs, they just need help to learn to feel safe around certain things!

💡Using positive training methods can help dogs like Reggie learn to feel more comfortable and confident around things that might be scary or stressful.

✨ Do you have a dog who barks, lunges, and growls? Feel free to send us a message to discuss training options for you and your very best furiend!
