Prestigious Pooch

We recently had the pleasure of getting to meet and do a little work with the mighty Dookie & Spartacus!

When my good friend Nate Walker told me a couple of months ago that he and Dani Walker were looking into adopting a Belgian Malinois X French Bulldog puppy from an accidental litter, I believe my first words were “well…you’re gonna have your hands full”, so when he told me a week later that they were adopting the last two brothers, I believe my words were then, “well, your hands are gonna be even more full now!” 😆

That said, you’re always going to have your “hands full” whenever you make the conscious decision to bring any super-intelligent, high drive dog into your world! Whether it’s a Border Collie, Jack Russel, American Lab, Beagle, Cattle Dog, etc…

Breed specific behavioral traits in high drive dogs need to be understood and exercised, other than suppressed and “corrected”. Thankfully for these two VERY sweet and EXTREMELY intelligent young pups, they’re in the hands of those that prioritize welfare over anything 🙌🏼

Heres’s a throwback of Sadie and myself when we were both young(er) pups! It’s difficult to believe that she’s now 16 and a half years old now. Time sure does fly…be sure to make the most of your time with your dogs, they will be seniors before you know it and the activities you enjoy together will change. Sadie was a wild woman in her younger years (I was one myself) who enjoyed climbing trees, herding sheep, keeping coyotes at bay, swimming in the ocean, and raising a bit of hell. Nowadays she sleeps a lot more, but still enjoys her outings in her spiffy Jeep cart, light physical therapy exercises, massages and puzzles. The activities have changed, but she still enjoys life!

Peggy wanted to remind you that scorching temperatures don’t always equal “no more fun”…especially when you’re a fun loving, playful pooch!

There are many quick, easy and affordable ways to stimulate your dog both mentally and physically during the summer months. And it none of it requires much time or space!

Allowing your dogs to expel some much needed energy throughout the day will make those evening walks just that bit more relaxing!

Leave us a comment of you want to find out how you can exercise YOUR dog during a heatwave!

We’re forever grateful for what we do and who we get to do it for! 🌄🐕🦆☮️

Bonjour 🇫🇷

This adorable little nugget is Lilou! She is a 17 week old French Brittany, and to say she’s adorable is an understatement!!

We’ve been working with Lilou and her incredibly loving and devoted parents for the past month or so now. Needless to say, it’s been a real privilege to work with this pocket sized gun dog! Eager, keen and full of love, this girl has made huge strides in her general obedience training within such a short period of time! This is due to nature of the breed as-well as the consistence of training time, both with private sessions and day to day work, that her devoted parents have dedicated themselves to within the last month…

You’ll be seeing a lot more of this one! 😍
