Ginger, Piper and Vinnie

Today we have three new dogs for you guys to meet.

First up is Ginger, She is a 6 month old, 20lb, cream colored Labradoodle. She had her assessment on Saturday and did great. She was very friendly while meeting other dogs and had a wonderful time.

 

 

 

 

Next up is this 1 year old, 15lb, Sheltie named Vinnie. Vinnie is a great dog with a very relaxed personality. Vinnie enjoyed observing all the action in the medium roll today and although he didn't play a whole lot today, I'm sure after a few more days of daycare he will be playing hard with the rest of the pack.

 

 

 

 

And last but not least, we got to meet the adorable little sister of Riley. She is 4 month old, Papillon named Piper. Piper had her assessment this morning and did excellent. She was upstairs all morning and had an awesome time with her brother Riley and the whole pack.

 

 

 

Have a great week,

Finally its Friday.

Well to cap off this week I figured we could all use some chuckles.

 

first off, some weird things to say to a human, that we say to our dogs all the time

 

 

If my dog actually WAS a human I think it would go a little something like this

 

Next a dog with about as much talent as any mainstream pop singer now-a-days haha!

im sure a record deal is on the way!

 

hopefully you got a few good guffaws from these clips, I know I did :)

 

Have a great weekend and we'll catch ya next week!

Triumphant Triumph

 

Those pics above, yup, they're my "Triumph References" lol. ;)

Get a load of Triumph! He is a six year old, fifty-five pound, Australian Shepherd Mix, that hung out in The Fort's Medium Roll.

Even though Fort Fido was new territory for Triumph, he is no stranger to the Dog Daycare scene, and seemingly enjoys the experience. New to Washington, Triumph is a Veteran of Doggie Daycares in and around The Bay Area.

From our observations, he very well enjoyed being in the company of other canines here. Although he didn't play much today, we hope, and suspect, that he will "bust out" in the future. Nice job today Triumph, we'll see you again soon.

Take care,

-Grant

Jillaroo

This weekend we had the pleasure of meeting a new pup named Jillaroo. she is a 6 month old, 24lb, tri-colored Mini Australian Shepherd. For those of you who don't know "Jillaroo" is an Australian nick-name for a young girl training to work on a sheep or cattle farm, it also makes a prefect name for this Australian girl. Jillaroo is a great dog with a great attitude and she jumped right into the action as soon as she arrived at the Medium Roll. Jillaroo especially enjoyed playing with Pupcake (A fellow Australian Shepherd) and Sammy (Puggle).

 

Jillaroo did an awesome job this weekend and we look forward to seeing her again soon.

 

 

 

Take it easy,

Becoming a Good Canine Citizen

While all dogs possess the ability to be a good dog, being an ambassador between humans and canines is a little more difficult, and requires some training (on both the pup's part and on the human's). The AKC or American Kennel Club offers a special chance to train, test, and reward your dog for their good behavior, or to help you identify where your companion could use a little help.

 

"Started in 1989, the CGC Program is designed to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the community. The Canine Good Citizen Program is a two-part program that stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs."

 

http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/program.cfm

 

 

Any dog that can pass the 10-step CGC test  receives a certificate from the American Kennel Club, And also,an opportunity to start other AKC programs such as agility, tracking, or performance events. State legislature has even begun recognizing the CGC program as a means of advocating responsible dog ownership and 34 states have Canine Good Citizen resolutions.

 

Now, the reason I write this in our blog is because Zeus, one of our fine looking Doberman has completed his training and has passed that rigorous test, and is a fully fledged member of the AKCCGC!! Congratulations to Zeus and his owners for all the hard work that was put into making this a reality! Good Work Buddy!  

 

Thanks for reading, see ya next week!
