☀️ Happy Tuesday from Cross Creek Kennel! ☀️

Matt is officially on his summer schedule, which means many of our field dogs are getting their work done bright and early to beat the Texas heat. 🦆🐾

Meanwhile, as I'm enjoying my morning coffee ☕😆, I'm spending this week showing off some of our obedience dogs and the great progress they're making.

We want to send a huge thank you to the HRC Youth Program for inviting Cross Creek Kennel to be one of the pro trainers helping mentor these awesome kids and their dogs!

We always have such a great time working with the young handlers, whether they're learning with their own dogs or one of ours. Watching them gain confidence, improve their skills, and have fun along the way is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

The HRC Youth Program is truly a wonderful opportunity for kids to learn about dogs, teamwork, responsibility, and sportsmanship while making memories and friendships that can last a lifetime.

Thank you to everyone who works so hard to make this program possible, and thank you for letting us be a part of it. We had a blast and honored to be apart of it.
