Hello ,
Alaska is being good to us this year giving us (so far) an early spring and summer! It's fun to be out with our dogs and romp around with them!
Please remember the moose will calve in May and that means the mothers will be extra grumpy and protective with a lower flight and much higher fight instinct than any other time! Keep your dogs under increased supervision, be considerate of these native four-legged Alaskans and respect their space.
Big kudos to all our students! The parking lot and surrounding grass areas have
been very clean all winter long. Everybody tries hard to clean up after their pups and maybe even take out some extra loads. THANK YOU!!!
Soon you'll see our BetCo Mobile driving around - our SUV is
getting wrapped! Just look for a train - symbolizing the journey of dog training - with lots of paw and hoof prints. We didn't want to leave out the horses - they're an important part of our journey to become better trainers :-) And whenever we haul the horses around, our BetCo-Mobile will turn into the Icelandic Express!
