The Summit team just keeps on growing! Please help us in giving a warm welcome to our two newest additions, Amy Creaven & Net Meredith!

💚 Amy has been a long time partner with Summit and has officially joined the team! You may recognize Amy as our Snake Avoidance expert from past workshops, or we possibly recommended her custom biothane longlines and muzzles from . If you've been with us since the good ol' days, we even used to run agility classes out at Amy's field! Now, you will see Amy leading group classes & private lessons at the facility, as well as some fun specialty topics!

🩷 Net (and her pup Noodle!) has joined the Summit team as our Sniff Games Instructor! If you've tried out classes in the past, you may have seen Net & Noodle as fellow students. Net has been so dedicated to her pup and always helping around the facility that we thought she deserved her own class 😉. We are excited to offer Sniff Games as a new class to the curriculum and to have such a wonderful friend officially join the team!

We are so thankful for the value Amy & Net bring to our team, and we can't wait for you and your dog to work with these two amazing humans! Give them a high-five next time you see them to welcome them to our growing Summit community! 👏

Our awesome trainer, Abbey, guest wrote this blog post for Cache la Poudre River National Heritage Area about dogs & river safety! In her free time, Abbey is a white water rafter so she has the perfect tips for taking your dog for a dip in the river! Give it a read 🐶🏞️

Enjoying the Cache la Poudre River with your pup is one of the many great things about living along the river. But it is crucial to remember these safety and courtesy tips to ensure everyone has a great time.

Tip #1: 🦺 Have your dog wear a PFD (personal floatation device) when swimming.
Tip #2: 🏞️ Share the river! There may be families or rafting companies utilizing eddies as well, making it crowded at certain times of the year.
Tip #3: 💩 Always remember to bring something to pack out dog waste! Help keep our natural water and wildlife safe by leaving no trace behind.

A huge thank you to Summit Dog Training for writing this blog to share with all our dog lovers!
