In keeping with the new times and forever evolving Facebook...a banner or poster of sorts needed to be created for Wags Facebook page. All pages (as in business pages on Facebook) are going to change within the next few weeks and will include a cover banner. My impression is that - either you can create something and have some fun with this, or when the deadline approaches, Facebook will automate the process for you and just let you drag in photos from your fb files...
So, after a few hours of tinkering (time I didn't intend to spend on this kind of project :-) - the result is now live, and I thought it should be shared here, too!
The dogs in the photos are a really nice representation of dogs from several different classes: Puppy Foundation skills class, Adolescent Manners class, Thinking Games, and even the outdoor Rovers in the Rink - Recall class.
So that's that: Wags photo banner prompted by technological changes. Enjoy!
Tonight the Wags' Summer Programs kicked off...in one of Canmore's RINKS! Wow - how amazing! It really is pretty fantastic to realize how big a rink is when you put a few dogs in there and start to talk....people actually come CLOSER to hear what you are saying! And THAT'S a new concept to me :-)
The SUPER RECALL group will be working a ton on play and games; specifically tug and retrieve...and trying to get "ultimate control" of these games. Such as; can the dog hold a sit while you throw the toy waiting for a release word? And what about calling the dog back to you BEFORE he gets TO the retrieve item? That will be some of the challenges we'll work through in this six week class.
The MANNERS group has a lovely mix of young dogs who will no doubt go far. If the stuff tonight is any indication (which usually it is) of the raw material we're working with - we'll have a lot of fast learners doing a lot of pretty cool stuff by the end of this class. I will try to have my camera with me to share some successes....I am thinking there will be many moments to celebrate :-)
As a final note - if you know of anyone wanting in on an outdoor training class...we can accommodate for late-comers and there are still a few spots open! Train your dog this summer!
