As you can see from the attached photos, Muffin was spoiled this Christmas and had a wonderful break from PADS University. We are dabbling with teaching her some alerts for sounds to see if she may want to do some hearing dog work. She thinks the work looks like a lot...

Muffin continues to go on field trips and perfect her obedience with the help of her advanced dog sitters. She had struggled with recall in high distraction area or was simply not ready to go where she was told to go. She would always be thinking ahead and not sure...

Muffin enjoys a good mud whole at the park! Why is it always the ones with the finest least repellent fur? We continue to work on her placement, durations, and loose leash walking while getting to know this girl. She has a nice food drive, and we are working on being...
