Just a reminder.
As we celebrate the holidays with friends and family life can be stressful on your pets if they are not use to a lot of activity.
Make sure their schedule is kept and they have a quite place to go to get away from the hustle and bustle.
Make sure rich and potentially toxic food to dogs and cats is kept out of their reach.
Make sure that our dog or cat dont slip out any open doors put them in a closed room while guests are coming and going.
Let's all be safe and happy this holiday season.

Valor and I are starting to work on her Intermediate AKC trick dog title. Some of the tricks on the list she knows, but this our special time so going to work on some she doesn't.
We started with "roll over".
Our first session. Not bad at all.

Bought this little foam hoop/jump at Pet Smart for $20.00.
It comes apart and has a zipped case. It wouldnt be good for really big dogs but Reign easily went through it. His tail would knock it over. Reign is 22" at the withers and 67 #.

Please do not give animals as gifts. These are living breathing beings. They require care for the next 10+ years.
They require and deserve your unconditional love and patience.

Purple Reign is sure these rugs were laid for him so he doesn't slip while working on jumps, wraps and weaves this winter. 🤣

Received some great chews at my dog clubs annual holiday party. I had never seen these chews before. Project Hive Pet is a pretty neat company. With every sale they plant and help restore the habitat of bees and other pollinators.
My dogs loved the chews. I will definitely be buying more.

Holiday break is coming up for students. Print off a list of tricks from one of the AKC Trick Dog levels and have your kids choose one or two to work on with the family dog.
This will build a stronger relationship with the child and dog. Give them both something to do and it might spark an interest in dog training.
