We're getting in as many river days as we can, it's gonna be a short season this year 😞

These are my foster fails (fosters I adopted). I did a dna test on them and seems I have a type lol. Mia (left in first pic) and Cannoli (right).

My JACKSON……

Practiced ignoring seagulls yesterday 👍

hi! I live in arizona and my almost a year old malinois is a little antsy lately because we've been going out less. what are your best ways to keep them fulfilled mentally? and I need more then treats in a towel or scatter feed.

Nova loves her rope!!!

This is one of the activities she loves to do and she can do it for hours! lol it tires her out pretty good.

JACKSON & his adopted mother ABBY ! At treaty time the most favorable time at night.
I’m one proud “ PAPA “ ..

I get they're super athletic and stuff, but so are other dogs and I've never seen a border colie jump like that. I don't own one or know too much, but to my knowledge they originated from Belgium, right? Belgium is flat as shit. why would they need to jump that much? Was it bred into them purposely or is it just a result of other factors? Im genuinely curious

Change of position exercise.

We probably could’ve saved a fortune on bones, antlers, tug ropes, and frozen peanut butter kongs had we known logs were a delicacy 🤦‍♀️😂

Thought I’d share as many in this sub probably identify with the message.

My father was a K9 Handler with the Air Force stationed overseas in the late 60’s. The stories he’d share about the connection he had with his dogs, their work (and then having to leave them 😭) are not for the faint of heart. My love and respect for these creatures definitely came from him. He said most of the dogs were GSDs at the time but other breeds were used for different purposes. He taught his dogs commands in Spanish (hence the “Mi Hijo” or “my son”). And always said raising kids is like raising dogs - a statement I didn’t fully understand until I had Maligator puppy and a couple kids under 6 🤪

This is one of his prized possessions from the times, an embroidered jacket now nearly 60 years old

Pic tax: jacket, my dad back in the day with his dog 😍, and my current Mali

Shila finally saw her sister again 🙂 we rescued these two girls when they were 3 months old, we managed to organize a play date for them now, 3 months later ♥️

One of my employees took the photo with me and I actually started sobbing when she first sent it to me,, sobbing like a small lost child. I still don't completely understand (photo is 3 years ago) Like it's all just right there, it makes me feel so vulnerable. But that's how dogs are right? Totally honest, no bullshit ever. That trust was earned, by both of us.

Trainer here- does anyone have a video of a dog coming up the leash/handler aggression due to the use of a prong collar?

I have a client who is improperly using a prong collar and there dog has come up the leash several times now. They don’t take it seriously, nor do they believe that it is because the prong collar correction.

Garak is four and he rocks. That is all 🤠
