GSPCI hosted a great seminar with trainer George DeCosta Jr. This was an all day class on May 30th for our club members! It was absolutely amazing and was very informative! George did a great job getting our minds to process in the way our dogs would understand. A great lunch was served midway. Huge shout out to George for his knowledge, and to our club members Karyn & Brittany for putting this together! This is just one of the many events we have going this summer! Check out our calendar on our website, www.gspcidaho.com! The summer training schedule will be in there soon!

Hey all! We had a great turn out from our members for the training day this past Saturday! Thank you to John Bunn for organizing this and to our trainers, John Bunn, Craig Lyle, Travis Gabel, and Karyn Wood! Thank you to everyone that came out with their dogs! We had “students” as young as 5 months. It was great seeing everyone work their dogs at the different stations and seeing some of these young pups experience birds! Can’t wait to see our members at the next training day, May 23rd!

🔍Keeping your GSP (or any dog) in an ideal body condition, not only can help with overall longevity, but can reduce many issues.

⚠️Extra weight can add unnecessary pressure on muscles, joints and bones. And not enough proper muscle and fat can put extra strain on internal organs.

🚦 Here is a good graphic on ideal body conditions for a GSP. ✨

Is there anything you would add?
