When your dog's ribbon is bigger than he is Introducing Sporting Detection Master Champion Enzo!! Thank you Judge Kathy Hansen for an awesome search #sdda #nosework #bordercollie

I posted a new video today in the Reactivity group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/reactivedogcourse/

Enzo: "Remember that time when I was really really fast at nosework and won 1st place in Nanaimo, and fastest in all of Canada for my division? My Medal arrived!" #nosework #bordercollie #boneyardchallenge

Koda is learning how to settle when murderers .. I mean visitors... come to the house or walk down the street. He's a big goofy boy who takes his job as protector very seriously. He is learning to trust his mom and to be off duty when she let's him know it's ok.

I love student updates! This timid little guy is eating in a way that builds confidence in using his body, in sounds, and in moving objects. Food toys are also a great way to provide mental stimulation on cold and wet days

Benson is 7mos old and is frustrated when he sees other dogs and can't run over to sniff them. We worked on calming games and polite greeting skills today!

Happy National Rescue Dog Day! From our rescued dogs Riker (Chilliwack SPCA) and Maxi (Nanaimo Animal Shelter)

This local pup needs surgery. Her talented human is selling custom artwork to fund the surgery and recovery. Nice looking stuff for a great cause

Fritz and I had a great time learning about heeling, decompression walks, and how to politely calm yourself when you see a new doggie BFF

I was happy to see Frankie again after training with her as a puppy Next week she gets a new baby brother so her people and I reviewed training and discussed a plan to integrate the two

Icky weather? Use your dogs'meals to train tricks and stationing (wait your turn) games!

Socializing pups! Most people think it means playing with other dogs. When pups are taught to approach all other dogs, they end up frustrated and confused when we just try to walk by.

DATE CHANGE! Hi Everyone, due to the increasing concerns with COVID numbers we are moving the Merry Discmas trial to February. So we're having Discmas on February 6 and 7! It'll be fun and we can all enjoy a 2nd holiday season.

I'm a sucker for the big brown eyes and perky attitude of a spitz Daisy has been working hard on going to a mat and staying quiet while visitors arrive, and today she didn't even bark once when I came by! Then she worked on quietly greeting other dogs and went for a walk with Maxi :)
