3-7-26 Another successful graduation to report! Congratulations to all participants! Despite some absences, we had a fantastic class. I wish Willow a speedy recovery from pancreatitis, and hopefully Rocco is recuperating well and behaving himself (and not digging up Mom's shrubs 😁). Tucker the lab pup and Pepper the poodle had unavoidable commitments elsewhere. Little Macie Mae, you were delightful! Duke, I am confident that with training, you will overcome your dog aggression and become the well-behaved dog I know you can be. Willow, Tucker, and Pepper, I will arrange for your certificates to be delivered to BTHF, likely on Monday. I appreciate the trust you have placed in me to train your dogs.

On February 28, 2026, our class session advanced with new lessons on Place, Stand, and Touch. This forthcoming Saturday signifies a notable milestone - Graduation Day. You are requested to choose three exercises of your preference for demonstration purposes.

2/21/26 class #3 for students at BTHF. Today marked a significant milestone as we built upon last week's lessons, mastering recall, door manners, extended sit-stay, and “leave it.” Every student demonstrated remarkable growth, showcasing their incredible potential. We're excited to see their continued progress.

02/07/2026

I’d like to extend a BIG welcome to our new group beginner class of 02-07-26 held at BarksTail Hairforce. We do have one student who isn’t present but will have more pictures next week! See everyone soon for fun and training.

PS. For groom and board BTHF is THE place to go!
