Last night was our last Beginning Novice Obedience class. Some new training techniques popular on the West Coast were introduced the first 4 weeks. Our emphasis during the second 4 weeks was establishing an environment where each owner could be the best possible trainer for their own dog. The assessment by individual owners of the training needs of their canines resulted in weekly improvement. We ended the final class with some new skills from Rally Master signs demonstrating the dogs' enthusiasm for advanced training. But most important - we had fun!

Have you heard about the new drug in clinical trials which hopes to increase the longevity and quality of life for dogs? If you visit their website, you'll learn that the drug(s) being tested and exact mechanism of action are still "confidential". But the emphasis seems to be lowering insulin-like growth factor 1.

The new point schedule effective May 12 is now posted on AKC.org. For some of you looking for majors, the newest schedule might be a big relief. For others, it's a reminder just how difficult it is to find any points for your breed.

The journey of life is always better when shared with a dog. Whether you’re walking through a busy city street or strolling along a quiet beach, there’s something about the presence of a dog that makes every step more meaningful. As this dog gazes out at the horizon, it’s clear that they understand the beauty of the world around them. They know that each moment is precious, and every adventure is worth taking. Their sense of wonder and curiosity inspire us to slow down and appreciate the simple joys in life.

Dogs remind us that life is about more than just crossing off tasks or achieving goals. It’s about savoring the moments, feeling the warmth of the sun, and taking in the sights and sounds of the world. When we walk through life with a dog by our side, we’re reminded to live with joy, to be present, and to cherish the time we have together. Dogs truly make every journey worth it, turning every day into a new adventure filled with love and companionship.🌅🐾
