Halloween Puppy Graduates

Congratulations to the latest and greatest puppy class on their graduation! This was a large class - 2 Dane puppies (Atlas and Halo), 3 Boxers (Dierks, Angelina, and Guinness), & a Cane Corso (Diego). To balance out all those large and giant breeds we also had a Pembroke Welsh Corgi (Wynne), & a chihuahua (Fancy Kalhua). What a FUN group and we'll see you all in upcoming Intermediate classes!



Apologies to those whose puppies were too wiggly for my slow cel camera!

What is "Natural Flavor"?

You know me, I'm like a dog with a bone. I got to wondering, "What is Natural Flavor"? I heard a nutritionist on tv saying in human food it was usually MSG. That got me asking our pet food reps if they knew. Nooooo, so I finally googled my question and I found a great Pet Food Ingredient Dictionary. Now, I share. The answer? I'm still not sure I like the answer, but I feel better knowing. You can read about Natural Flavor and all other pet food ingredients (listed in alphabetical order)

Intermediate Graduates





Congratulations to the latest and greatest Intermediate Graduates to grace the pages of Turbo & Cody Unleashed! As ever, the cel cam is never a fast enough shutter speed to catch some of our waggy and wiggly fur-friends but Samus the GSD, Ben the Chihuahua and Maverick the Husky all gave me the moment needed to capture them for posterity!
Way to go everyone, Intermediate is a lot of hard work! You're not too far away from that CGC!
Ben, amazing for his size and age! Good job, Patrick! Karen and Lucy the Lab, excellent teamwork when Lucy focuses, she really focuses. It's coming! George and Christine and their huskies Maverick and Alex, getting them out and socializing them like you do is so important! Alex will earn his CGC like big brother Maverick!
A special acknowledgement to Brian and Samus the GSD - definitely most improved, and Brian, Godspeed and a safe return in 6 months! TYFYSTOC (thank you for your service to our country)

The Lone Grad



Yikes, I hate it when you go to dog training class and graduation night both your dogs decide to go on a romp, causing you to miss your graduation! Oh no! Oh Yes! It happened last night. Daisy and Jasper went on a fun run all by themselves but they came home safe and sound. Too bad they missed going to their own graduation!
Sooo, Good Boy Boss the German Shorthair Pointer got to graduate all by himself! Does he look proud or what?
