Chrissy Joy has Journey (Prim x Spud) and offers online training. Check her out!

A few months ago, I remember having anxious butterflies starting an endeavor I had never done before. I spent over a year harnessing knowledge and skills… finally launching my Train with Joy Program earlier this year with BFF Pet Services.

It’s moments like these that take my breath away as I sit full of excitement and pride for the students I get to coach and mentor.

So unbelievably thrilled for one of my students, Jenny and her dog Sadie. We worked for months developing her dance routine - building tricks, skills, and confidence. Many early morning laughs and big dreams on the horizon.

It’s not just about the training, but our mental space, how we choose to take up a room, balancing expectations and progress with our dog.

It all came down to their last weekend:

Their routine was Annie inspired!

Results:
1st Place
Judge’s Choice Award
High Scoring Beginner
Combined High Scoring Beginner for the weekend
Fun award: “Hollywood, Here I Come!”

I am SO PROUD OF THEM. I was over the top excited in my van when I got the news.

You see, when you work in my program, we are a team. We learn so much about each other and how to grow - mentally and through our training.

I still have a few fall spots left to better your life with your dog and achieve great heights together. Message me if you’d be interested in learning more.

But for now, show some love for this talented team and their recent wins!!

I don’t know this dog or its owners but wanted to pass along this warning so we all can be aware of the suffocation danger with chip bags.

Sadly, this heartbroken family lost their beautiful 7 year old Border Collie named Kindle on Wednesday when she suffocated in a chip bag. Wendy Jordan, a professional dog trainer, says, "I can’t write now. It’s too raw. I have warned people for years about Pet Suffocation. I’m a dog trainer/business owner by profession. And today, because I left a chip bag on a table, in an area I thought the dogs didn't have access to but knew they sometimes could get through, my best dog of my pack is gone. She opened the gate to the deck, went up the steps, got the chip bag, took it down the steps, even spilling some of the chips, and then somehow accessed the inside and suffocated. She was right beside my gate where she is used to entering and exiting the yard. I’m devastated. I may never buy a bag of chips again. I used to worry about this when my kids were young, and I warned my kids when they left home with their dogs, and yet one freak accident, and I’m the one it happens to."

Even though someone may already know about pet suffocation and take all safety precautions, accidents can still happen. We can only do our best. Kindle was a very determined pup. Her story will help save other pets from this happening to them. Please help us spread awareness. Thank you.
