Le Petit Camp a la Plage !
For our training and field trip we headed on to Key Biscayne for a beautiful and fun beach day. The day was sunny and bright, and the waters were calm and clear – a PERFECT beach day! The dogs got to walk in the shore, play in the sand, practice some training and manners in a new environment ! For many of our campers this was their first time at the beach!! Some showed quite a talent for swimming, and others were VERY enthusiastic if not too graceful! It was a fun and educational day for them, and us 
Le Petit “Agility” Camp (video)
Yeah ! we had our second petit camp session an it was a big success.
Our campers were so excited to arrive, meet and play with their new friends.
We spent all day at the agility center and we had a triathlon ” obedience – agility – socialization”
What a better place to train that under the shade of a beautiful tree surround by friends. Some obedience: heal, sit and downs to warm up before the big event of the day: agility!!
Agility gives the dogs confidence and help them be more sure about themselves when they learn a new obstacle, or jump, climb or run into a tunnel. They are learning to use their body and to overcome their fears. It is great socialization and the dogs seem to think its super fun!! It also helps us bond with our campers and develop a relationship based on trust. It is a new experience that we share and enjoy together and added bonus is that it makes their obedience training better and they Love It!!
And finally a huge land to play and run free!! We can already see how our dog’s greeting and playing behaviors are improving around the pack!
Thanks Christ for allowing us to train at your FreeSpirt Center – our young campers loved it and as always, we did too!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PANCHO + BUDDY
“Estas son las mañanitas que cantaba el rey David, a los muchachos bonitos….”
This camp was a celebration of Pancho (2) and Buddy (3) birthdays. Somehow, we knew that they will both be agree that playing fetch at the beach will be a perfect birthday party and if on top of that they will share with their friends then that could be a woof wow day! So, that’s what we did !
When kids go to a b-day party they don’t do homework they only enjoy the day with their best friends like our campers did but it is also true that is a good opportunity to show their good manners. 🙂
Sometimes we forget to “just” enjoy the company of our best friends, to just play the games they like the most, to just share our love, just bond with each other…. “Just” is so “Huge” when we talk about relationships.
Somehow we know what they like the most because we connect with each one of our /your dogs. What they like the most, what they are afraid, who they prefer, what they adore and what they would choose not to do. We can put our feet in their paws!
We believe in the power of connection that’s why yesterday we did not only celebrate their b-days, but we also celebrate our friendship!
