Have YOU done the TP Challenge with YOUR dog?!
I was sent this and I can't stop watching!!! This is Astraea, sister to Argos and Psyche! You go, girl!
What new tricks are your dogs learning?
(The best part about doing a Virtual Learning Program? My OWN dogs are getting "their" time now, while demonstarting skills for students...or learning new ones to teach others! In about 10minutes, Harper is now rolling over fast and furious! Love her! ...and I still have a couple of spots open for students if you want to join. All packages and options are here:

Not that all owners should be able to draw blood, but this IS how a Fear Free Vet Visit and Blood Draw should go, in my opinion. I did the same with my amazing boy Guinness...and my awesome girl Harper is also unfazed by a needle stuck into her arm - so I took video today at her annual visit. (And I still got it, with a clean, single stick, ha! I am a licensed technician and Magnolia Springs Veterinary Center granted permission to draw because they know I am also Fear Free Certified) There is no restraint needed. She exhibits self control/impulse control. Want to learn more about Fear Free Vet Visits and/or have me talk to your clinic about this? Call me! 262-308-2523. I am always up for helping others!
Cevin is soooooo smart! If this less than 2lb cleft lip rescue Chihuahua can learn using force free methods... :-D #Success
A 4th of July message from Harper...
Random Training Session with Harper just a few moments ago. Foundations of toy rewards have started. No food being used this session, just a toy. We can help you learn how to use food/treats/toys/freedoms appropriately so that you can have LIFELONG learning occur. But first...you have to build trust and establish work ethic. Want to learn more? Our next classes start June 13th. We have a couple of spots left, so enroll today! More information/event link in comments section! Happy Training!

Training Experiences with Kids are VERY important in ANY dog socialization program!
Guinness's Favorite Trick!
Guinness's Favorite Trick!
October in Wisconsin
Guinness and Julie trekked down by the Lake in the afternoon on October 26th, during the beginning phases of the projected "wind storm" in Wisconsin. Guinness loves the water, but it's turned a bit cold for his liking! :-)
Practice Schutzhund BH Pattern
With my "vacation" (training weekend in Decatur, IL with Meridian Working Dog Club), I decided to run Guinness through a mock-BH pattern just to see what he'd do/where he is at in his obedience training, etc...and we are now entered in the trial on October 17th for a BH. For more information on what a BH is, or for any other questions, give us a call!
