Finishing off an incredible weekend of dock diving! 💙

Phoenix made his dock diving debut this weekend and completely exceeded my expectations.

On Friday, he was still a little hesitant, posting jumps of 11.6 ft and 11.9 ft.

By Saturday, that hesitation was almost gone. He jumped 13.6 ft before finishing the day with an impressive 16 ft leap, earning his first leg toward the Senior Division.

On Sunday, he competed in his very first Hydro Dash. After a little confusion on his first attempt, he came back strong on his second run, retrieving the toy in 17.41 seconds and earning his placement in the Senior Division there as well.

I couldn’t be more proud of my sweet Fire Bird. Watching him gain confidence and tackle new challenges with each jump has been incredibly rewarding. Moments like these are why I love sports so much.

Thank you Biscuit Beach for hosting a fantastic event💙

Hey everyone! As you know, we’ve had the pleasure of fostering and working with Ginger for the last 6 to 7 weeks. She’s a 1.5-year-old Golden Retriever, and to know her is to love her—she is just the sweetest girl. Shes wonderful with dogs, great with cats and overall very loving 💛

Because we’ve spent so much everyday time with her recently, we've gotten a really good feel for who she is and what she needs. While she’s made incredible progress with us, she doesn't quite meet the requirements for our program. The expectations of a service, facility, or even an ESA role would just be too much for her. She deserves a life free of job expectations, so we are partnering with her rescue to help find the perfect, relaxing forever home where she can just focus on being a beloved family pet.

A little bit about Ginger’s heart:
Ginger came from a tough puppy mill situation where she spent most of her early life isolated in a barn. She’s still gently processing some of that early trauma, but her resilience is beautiful to watch.

What she’s looking for next:
- Patience and a gentle pace: She needs a home filled with love and patience where she can continue to build up her confidence and trust without any pressure.
- A guy’s girl: Curiously, we’ve noticed she has a pretty clear preference for men over women! She tends to gravitate toward and feel safest around gentle guys.

We love this girl so much and want to make sure her next step is the perfect one. If you or someone you trust implicitly sounds like the right match for Ginger, please reach out to us directly so we can connect you with her rescue (adoption fees will apply).

Thank you all for being such an amazing village for these dogs! Let's find Ginger her perfect match.✨

Crusher has been working with me for the last couple of months, and she continues to impress me every single day. Not only is she absolutely stunning, but she also has the brains, drive, and determination to match that. She’s excelling in her obedience work and has developed a real passion for nose work. I’ve taken such a liking to this girl that I’ve decided to officially add her to my team for Nose Work classes. I’m beyond excited to watch her continue to grow and that I’m able to work her further even after our in home sessions are completed 💖

Advanced group working a bit more on their emergency stops today. It’s been awhile since we’ve worked these consistently, so we’re brushing up on cues and tightening up those responses again. Everyone did an awesome job 💖
