Another great story from Ranny Green on the AKC website about a special Weimaraner "Monet" and her special handler Tanya Rowan. My research team (Joanne Anderson, Tracey Monahan, Terri Cude) found Monet and Tanya among our National Dog Show entries last year and put Ranny together with them to produce this lovely piece. Enjoy!

Monet is a multi-titled 5-year-old Weimaraner who elicits smiles from owner-handler Tanya Rowan and fellow competitors regardless of the venue or sport....

https://suzanneclothier.com/shop/therapy-dogs-bill-of-rights-webinar/

My friend Ann Howie, perhaps the most influential person in today's world of therapy dogs, is doing a live webinar on Thursday, July 11, at 2pm ET.

Ann's topic: "The Therapy Dog's Bill of Rights", an integral part of training and preparing your dog as a therapy dog and more. From the description of the program: "This is not just for therapy dogs! Discover the essential elements every dog's partner needs to know to ensure their companions receive the respect, care, and dignity they deserve."

Ann's history in therapy dogs and standing as an author, trainer, and animal advocate gives her the credentials to be the one to share this topic. She created the therapy dog concepts and standards of practice for Delta Society 30+ years ago that built the Pet Partner program and probably provided the basis for all therapy dog programs in existence today. See more about her at www.humananimalsolutions.com.

Here is more information and the registration page. "See" you there!

Learn from a leading expert in the field as she shows you how to advocate for the well-being of dogs everywhere. Join us in this opportunity to elevate your understanding and transform your partnership with your incredible canine teammate.

On a beautiful morning our pups settle in with our special readers.
A quiet time for busy moms to sit and enjoy a moment.
