The Dog’s Truth is a free life-changing video with expert Kim Brophey!

There is a new movement in the dog world, one that is growing rapidly and completely aligns with the values we hold here at A Dog’s Life.

Kim Brophey is the founder of L.E.G.S. Applied Ethology Family Dog Mediation, and she put together this documentary style video that will definitely change how you see and work with your dog - in a good way!

It’s free on YouTube and SO worth your time. Please go check it out and let us know what you think!

Switchback K9 is a safe space for all. Myself and the folk I work with are a colorful, diverse, beautiful group of trans, q***r, neurodivergent, nonbinary, and marginalized people who I am honored to share space, time, and energy with. These are trying times for so many of us, and now more than ever we need to stand together and support the causes and people we believe in. I believe in my community, and I know we will get through this together.

You'll find this badge on my website and I enthusiastically encourage others in joining the movement to make our industry more inclusive and supportive.

If you're new here, my name is Morgan, my pronouns are she/they, and I run Switchback K9 LLC. We are also home to the Switchback Flyball club! Feel free to reach out and chat with me. My door is open.

I was recently able to support a colleague in launching a new initiative to make the web more inclusive. The project, Everyone is Welcome (https://everyoneiswelcome.club/), is now live! It offers two easy ways to show that at your business, everyone is welcome.

First, include the Everyone is Welcome badge on your website! By adding the badge you're saying, "This is a safe space for everyone." The badge can go in your footer, sidebar, or even just on your contact page and link back to everyoneiswelcome.club, which explains its meaning and mission.

Second, consider adding your pronouns to your email signature. If you'd like, you can link to the section of the Everyone is Welcome site that explains why pronouns matter. Pronouns may seem small, but when you share your own it opens the door for others to shares theirs with you and signals that you'll respect them if they do choose to share.

If you need help making either of those things happen, please shoot us a message. I'm offering FREE help for those who need it to add the badge to their website, whether I built your site or not.

I'm still recuperating from an insane but fun as all get out week and weekend at the NAFA CanAm Flyball Classic in Indianapolis, IN!

I'll make a lengthier update soon, but for now know that all three of these kiddos BLEW ME AWAY with their behavior in and outside of the rings. I'm so honored to belong to each of them, and I can't wait to keep making memories with these goons.

Now, we rest. (I rest, they're ready to do it all again)

This puppy has a heart of gold in her. When a friend's dog was showing some signs of discomfort, I sent Emori in for some cuddles to distract... and she not only let the kid pet her, but swung in to sit pressed against her while she did it with a smile on her face. She may be a holy terror a lot of the time, but she's also a sweet little angel.

There's not much better than being able to let your dogs be dogs out in the middle of nowhere with friends 🥰 I can tell you I've for sure never seen them all more content than after days like this.

Been a hot minute since an Ayla update, but she came to Utah and had a blast exploring and hiking and cuddling with friends ❤️

She's tiny and mighty and fun to adventure with - if you can handle a bit of drama and attitude lol

A and I have had our difficulties together but we've overcome so much. She makes me smile and reminds me to notice and appreciate so many tiny things I may let go unnoticed otherwise.

One week until CanAm!! Reilly is racing with , for her first time ever competing in the national champs! When we've gone in the past, she's only been able to warm up or have mat time, so this is a huge milestone 🥹

Who will we see there??

Ayla and Emori get to tag along as well as Sender of , hopefully also getting some mat time! Come say hi!

Emori is 14 weeks old, knows how to follow lures and shape, her best trick is sit, she's a rockstar in any new environment, loves food more than anything, thinks people and dogs alike are all awesome, crates like a champ, rides in cars like a champ, and loves to be involved in everything we do! Her most challenging thing is learning to settle in the house and she's making huge strides.

Can't wait to see what the future holds, but in the meantime there's a lot to enjoy while she's still little ❤️ thanks for an incredible puppy, !

Reilly is the work-from-home therapy dog. When course writing and emails get too stressful, simply stop what you're doing and go lay on the couch with this fuzzy, soft, peaceful being and your troubles will melt away! Until it's time to look at a screen again at least.

Today Emori visited a home Depot (was a little suspicious of the Halloween decorations but handled the store like she's lived there her whole life).

I didn't get video, wish I did, because she's starting to offer things like downs when we stop, and paws up on odd surfaces. 🥹 She's the most in her element when she's got a "job" or is on an adventure!

A reminder from Quiver to take time to relax and enjoy the view 😌

Baby dog had her first bath! While I gave her a peanut butter likimat attached to the tub wall, it was my cut up hotdogs that really did the trick for helping her tolerate the experience! So yeah, have options! 🤣
