This is Kensington and Kate. Monday was his first day of class😃 He was a bit nervous initially...to the point of where he couldn't even take a treat. But, Kate, the OG of calm, kept her cool. With her "no worries, no pressure" approach, a few yummy treat drive-bys along with a soothing tone explaining her 1st week games to the students, Kensington began to feel a little more at ease. He gradually made more sustained eye contact with Kate, ate the treats, and within 20 minutes of class, he came over to Kate, and dare I say, smiled at her? It sure looks that way to me. Now, that is the power of calm, confident energy. That is connection. Isn't that what we're all looking for with our beloved pets?

"Be sure to play with your dog everyday, because they are your best friend and are only here for a short time. You are their best friend for their whole life." Wishing you all a beautiful weekend filled with slobbery dog kisses, puppy breath, long walks, warm snuggles, and muddy paws of fun!

I absolutely love this photo of Kate! When you see her in action with other dogs, you can totally see how invested and connected she is with her new pup pals. And it's remarkable how quickly they become entranced with her🥰They realize that she speaks their language. It's more than her vast experience, it's a true gift.

It's Friday😃What better way to celebrate the upcoming weekend and the 1st day of August than with a puppy graduation😍Yay! Puppies are always a great source of joy and these rowdy little furballs kept us entertained and filled us with plenty of laughter! They made new friends, got lots bigger, chased one another around, played “bitey face”, and learned how to pull their punches, so to speak. A huge thank you goes out to the amazing Raven, our fearless puppy playground supervisor! With her sweet demeanor, incredible patience, and gentle corrections, she ensured these pups were safe and well-behaved. When all was calm(ish), she delighted in visiting each sitting parent for some pets and to reassure us that she had everything under control. A true shining star and a fantastic role model for all! Let's just say, this was a super awesome class, with fantastic pups, parents, and the amazing Kate and Deb! We are truly grateful! Have an incredible weekend and CHEERS to our graduates!

Congratulations to our Tuesday night Basic class graduates! What a gorgeous group! (I love that Birdie's dad decided to join in the fun by picking up his big gorgeous, wiggly, muppet for their grad photo too😂)So much progress was made in this class! We couldn't be more delighted with all their accomplishments! These parents were beyond dedicated, with a capital "D"! Dedicated, devoted, and delightful, as are their dogs! We can't wait to see you all at the next level!

As far as I’m aware, this information isn’t included in any of Kate's MailChimp notes that she shares with her students; however, I can’t comment on what has been sent to the dogs 🤔😁 It’s graduation week…so, I’m pretty sure all the dogs will receive something tasty to celebrate their GOOD behavior and accomplishments!
