Dashing Duffy

 

This morning we had the pleasure of meeting this 8 month old, 6lb, Morkie (Maltese/Yorkshire) named Duffy. He is a great little guy and was immediately introduced to the little roll. Duffy was a bit shy at first but with a little help from Rusty and the rest of the pack upstairs he quickly started to have fun. Duffy especially enjoyed playing Fetch during ball time. 

 

 

 

Duffy effortlessly passed his assessment today and we look forward to seeing him again soon.

 

 

 

 

 

Have a good one,

News Worthy Pups!

Today, I wanted to share a few articles involving cool pups, and one to help you name those Christmas puppies.

 

First, A new program in Georgia uses dogs as therapy at Gwinnett jail

This article from The Blade is along the same lines. But instead of inmates in jail, this program is geared for at risk youth in the Toledo area.

If you are having trouble deciding what to name a new addition to the family, here's a list to help you pick from either the most popular, the least popular or somewhere in between! :)

Ever seen monkeys riding dogs, while chasing sheep around an NFL stadium? Not many of us can say yes to that question, but never fear loyal Fido followers! feast your eyes on the splendor of this .Gif!

 

 

thanks for tuning in, hope everyone had a great Christmas full of everything you wanted.

Check in soon for more updates

Herding Ball Clips

We had a chance to put one of our herding balls into action today and just like always Zeus was the first one to have a go at it and show the rest of  the pack how its done. Odin eventually joined in on the fun along with Samwise and Maggie.

Here are the clips.










Take it easy,

Emma

Here is one of the assessments we had this weekend.

Emma came in on Saturday for her assessment and did great. She is a 1 1/2 year old, 55 lb, Lab/Blue Heeler. Emma was very sweet and communicated great with the whole pack. Although Emma did not seem very interested in playing this time, I'm sure after she gets a little more accustomed to daycare she will be much more playful.

 

 

 

Have a good one,

-Matt 

Peppy Pepper!

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming Pepper, a 13 week old collie/lab mix! Coming into the medium roll, Pepper was a little shy at first, but soon broke out of her shell, and played hard with Niko, as you can watch in the clip below.

 

 

What a cute pair! Pepper is going to fit in great, and I am excited to see how she grows into an adult pup. See you soon Pepper!
