Chase, the newest destroyer of pricey leggings and joggers in the house! I’m raising Chase for a little while, but he is bound for a full-time job. In the meantime, he will be sure to leave a path in his wake! Benebones + workout pants = 😬…. Price of doing business! He’s a very sweet boy with an absolute ton of go go go!

Just some clips from training and life today. Couple of new dogs in. Working a lot of retrieves this month which I LOVE to do.

After hours of working in the pond today, I put away my tools and brought the dogs out to swim. We spent an eternity in the water, had to call it quits at the end when I got accidentally dunked and my waders filled with water for the second time today. Chase took his first swims, the labs had a ball (literally) and Gavi - my first ever Doberman to swim! - ran and jumped in and out about 100 times. Beautiful day today!

About a year ago after a chance run in with a friend and coach from , while recovering from multiple surgeries, I made the decision to go back to the gym after many years of letting my fitness go ignored. I wasn’t sure how it would go. Well, it’s still going. Every single thing about my day is now easier. My work is better. I am happier. I have lost 65 pounds. I can do more in less time. I am still working to bring down my weight and add muscle, but doing this the right way (finally!) takes lots of time. Thanks to skilled and patient coaching from - I’m able to see the big picture and have remained injury free despite a body full of wear and tear. I hope to put together some more videos in the future about exactly how this has work has improved the life I live with dogs. One of the most important things I’ve learned - you are never too old to start! This is what self-care looks like for me these days. And I can’t take care of others without taking care of myself. Hauling these 50 pound bags of dog food is looking a lot different and feeling a lot better these days. 🙌

Dog yard set up tip. I let dogs I trust run with puppies, but I always have a place for the puppies to retreat to to get away from the big ones if they feel overwhelmed; and a place for the big ones to go if they want to get away from the little ones. It’s spring and my yard is ready for re-chipping. I’ll be working on it over the next couple of weeks. We had heavy snow cover all winter this year and it took its toll on a lot of my outdoor areas. We should be gussied up in a few weeks!

Workin my dog. Today, more like watching him work. He had a couple of nice long blind retrieves, and good clean deliveries to hand.

Look, this isn’t rocket science and it’s built into the life of every dog and puppy, but the idea is making conscious choices about stress for your puppies. Balancing that stress with safe, reassuring periods of rest will help create a more resilient dog for the future.
