Dogs of the Round Table

29/09/2025

Motivational Monday! What motivates you? I learned yesterday that some people are motivated by pressure and shame. While I feel that and respond to it as well, why are we like this to ourselves but so kind and positive to our dogs? Let's talk about what we love and what we tend to enjoy or find rewarding. Is it a night out to a nice restaurant, time spent in the woods, a do nothing day, a sweet treat? And, how much do you love the activities you do with your dogs? Let's talk about how we can get motivated to train our dogs and incorporate canine fitness so we can keep doing the things we love with our dogs for a long time!

I started a sticker system. I earn a sticker every day that I train dogs that live in my house. If stickers aren't enough for you, what if for every 3 stickers you earned, you rewarded yourself with one of the things that brings you joy? Let's start incorporating positivity into how we deal with the human end of the leash!

Last but not least for Fall registration is our Scent Games class.

This unique class is for anyone interested in teaching their dog how to use their nose to find things, regardless of whether it's for competition, a job, or enrichment. Scent games are also a great way to build confidence, encourage working away from handler, and tire your dog out in a short time with little space needed. All games will lead to a strong search foundation and can be used to start a dog in scent detection, nosework, scent work, or just to find objects you've lost around the house. By the end of this class, you will even have the skills needed to earn a Virtual Scent Work title! Class is open to dogs 5 months and older who are comfortable working in a group setting and have basic obedience and manners skills. Class begins on September 15tth at 6:30pm at Quicksilver Canine and meets for 4 consecutive weeks. Cost is $140. Email [email protected] or PM to sign up.

Just another day of day training. We had some half day visitors and some for the full day. This crew worked on fitness, focus, impulse control, socialization, and pattern games. What would you want your dog to learn at day school?

Check out this adorable group we had for day training. While their older "siblings" were at Quicksilver Canine for agility workshops, they took turns working on skills specific to their goals, in a new place, around new dogs, with a new person. Everyone settled in nicely and worked hard.
