Sequoia the Aussie The adventures of Walking with Giants “Sequoia” and friends

Today I brought Sequoia and Kodi to Tractor Supply Co. to use their dog baths for the first time!
To begin with I dilute best shot shampoo to bring with me. That's the main shampoo I use on the dogs. Next I use Chris Christiansen's white on white to brighten them. Rinse all that off and put some best shot conditioner on. After a quick towel dry we use best shot finishing spray and blow dry!
So I would rate using the baths here at probably a 7 out of 10. It's nice to be able to use their equipment and absolutely worth it for the average pet owner! I did overall like using the tub because my grooming tub isn't plumbed yet, but their high velocity dryer isn't as powerful as mine and the floor was just soaked so I had to lay a bunch of towels down to keep my the dogs from getting wet again after.
They do supply towels and shampoo and metal combs but I brought all my own supplies from home, so you don't have to but I prefer to use my own supplies!
As an unrelated bonus Sequoia and Kodi got complimented for behaving beautifully!
What do you think? Have you used one of their bathing stations before? What was your experience?

Am I a little crazy? Probably. But what better opportunity to practice having Sequoia focus on me with some cops in the background. My husband filmed me in my natural habitat, being a diagnosed dog trainer cause you can never ave too much
And no there were no shots fired or anything. If I heard that I for sure would have taken her and gone inside.

This weekend I decided it was time to teach a focus heel or “pushy” heel. The cue I’m using is fuß (German for heel, pronounced foos)
This is the result of a single session. She wasn’t totally with it at first but she caught on quickly. Sequoia is a remarkably fast learner and I’m so proud of her doing her fancy little walk. She’s getting the hang of heeling on my left as well.

Come join us on a run to Tractor Supply Co. to restock on chicken feed for our flock, plus some goodies we found at the end from Woof and Benebone 👀

So Sequoia actually was diagnosed with hip dysplasia before she was even 3 years old, which was very devastating as her mom of course because she loves running and jumping and all the things that aren't great for dogs with that condition, and I had hopes of doing sports with her but we have since made changes to her exercise routine to keep it more hip safe. One of the things that she really enjoys that has been great for us both is some canine conditioning exercises. She has gotten much stronger and better balance since we've worked on this with both her front and hind end, on both a stable platform and yoga ball. Plus she's so much more aware of her hind end and positioning. I would highly recommend doing this with your dog, regardless of whether or not they have hip dysplasia! If they do have a medical condition though I would consult with a veterinary specialist before starting anything!

I always use dinner time as an opportunity for a mini training session in impulse control. Sequoia is the star pupil but everyone has to sit or down and stay before they’re released for dinner!

Volume up!! I bought this assorted length pack of collagen sticks from Mighty Paw because they were on sale for Amazon Prime Days. So far so good! I love collagen chews because they’re wayyy less stinky than pizzles

I knew this year I had to try the viral ghost costume trend with Sequoia and the pack and Pippin! We got the costumes Friday night and had the shoot on Sunday so we had limited time to practice and get them desensitized. Everyone did pretty great except Echo who got overstimulated and started playfully attacking the sheet 🤣
She’s lucky she’s so stinkin cute.

We’re super excited to be part of Chewy’s Chewpanions Creator Program!!

Check out all Sequoia’s favorites at https://chewpanions.chewy.com/bfaa5ff5c25

Sequoia got a little toy haul from Playology
and Chewy since her favorite toy was rapidly disappearing as she nibbles on it constantly.

Shes had a crinkle toy from Playology since she was a puppy and they’re definitely a non negotiable in our toybox. Watch til the end to see her having a blast with her new giant toy!!
