Let it be known, that if you bring your long-coated doodle to me for training, he will be sporting pigtails.
I'm all about that eye contact.

Annual reminder just say no! Rawhide is a bi-product of the leather industry not the food industry. There are way better options available to satisfy your dog's need to chew. A properly sized, stuffable Kong type toy or hard Nylon type toy that * can not be swallowed* is a much safer alternative!

Dog days of summer🌞

I took Ricky and Cali to diving dogs today. What a wonderful amenity to have nearby! Mike was a fantastic host who allowed us to experiment but was also right there to give us guidance in getting started.
Both dogs did more than I expected considering they've never really gone swimming before!

Daycare Cancelled due to heat.
Look y'all! I love summer, but when temperatures get this high, the dangers of dogs overheating while simply laying around is a real threat. Sometimes the safest place for your dog is at home in the crate and today I believe that's the case. Stay cool and drink some water🐾❤️

From Google:
Dogs can experience heat stroke from being in hot environments, over-exercising, or not being able to cope in hot weather. Early signs of heat stroke include:
Breathing: Heavy panting, rapid breathing, or breathing problems
Drooling: Excessive drooling or dribbling
Mucous membranes: Dry mucous membranes
Gums and tongue: Bright red gums and tongue
Skin: Hot to the touch
Heart rate: Higher heart rate
Behavior: Hyperactive, restless, or agitated, pacing, seeking shade or water, or difficulty maintaining balance

I believe this article is being too kind to glyphosate but that's not surprising considering Bayer's extensive legal team & ties to the FDA.
Yup, I said it.

Glyphosate is found in most human and dog food, but what is it, is it dangerous, and can it be avoided? By Dog Food Advisor

Ricky and I got an AMAZING opportunity to learn from one of the absolute greats this past weekend! If you don't follow dog sports, Debbie Zappia and her dog Iron von den Wolfen “Eros” represented the United States as USA1 at the World Championships in Finland and made history when she became the first American to win the WUSV IPO World Championships!
She was so generous with her knowledge and patience with us and I'm so thankful for it.
The awesome thing about training dogs is that the more you learn, the more there is to learn!!
To infinity and beyond!!🤯🐾❤️
