It's all in the mechanics…
I know I've said it before, "It's all in the time and effort you put into the training" and as much as I do believe it... there's something that has to be said about how we do our training. I'm not just talking about the training philosophy one has, though I do think...
A favorite toy…
It's a really ridiculous name, but the "Pooch Ball" is a long-term favorite toy in my house. It seems to find its way to the surface of the toy box every few months and today Chase found it when I rotated the toys around. This was one of Rio's favorite toys as a...

Ugh… no fun
Hey everyone, I've been quite under the weather since Friday and am still not really feeling very good (I've found myself in bed by 10pm every night--which is extremely atypical). So, no meaningful post for today. Until I feel better, I'll entertain you with funny a...
