Our second announcement, and we're really excited about this, we're launching our own dog treat brand in January!
We'll be starting with one of the all time favorites and will be adding to the product line over the next couple months.
Look for our treats in our online store and in local retailers at the end of January.
New classes are here!
We're pleased to announce the launching of our new group class format.With the new format training classes are flexible to your schedule rather than you having to flex your schedule to the training.
To attend the training classes you must first attend an orientation session. Our first orientation will be held August 23 at 7pm. at the Holland ball park.
Many thanks go out the village of Holland for letting me hold classes there, and to Casey Lomonoco for help in making the transition to the new format.
Upcoming CGC Testing
We'll be doing CGC testing August 11th in the Pipestone County Fairgrounds new show ring. Testing will start at about 7p.m. (follows the open class pet show)

Dog Training by Jess will be at the fundraiser for Tri-County on May 22nd.
This great rescue is trying to raise funds to put up a building, they really need it.This rescue will serve Pipestone, Rock and Nobles county.
Events for this fundraiser include: Live band, Silent auction, and Pet Portraits.
Dog Training by Jess will be on hand with education materials and to answer behavior questions. Jess is even thinking about breaking her face painting brushes for the kids.
We've also got a great gift basket planned for the silent auction. It will include: a Lupine leash and collar set, don't worry if its not the set you wanted or it won't fit your dog, we're making the set exchangeable for any Lupine product we have on hand. The basket will also include a dog toy, home made dog treats which no dog can resist, a poo bag dispenser that attaches to your leash and more! Jess is constantly finding things to add to this basket, its bound to be our biggest product donation yet!

H3N8 Dog Flu
Some of you may have seen the recent story on KSFY news about the Dog Flu.
We haven't heard of any cases in our area yet, but rest assured that we are staying on top of this as we do with other health related topics. Your pets health and well being is important to us.
For more information please see Key Facts About Canine Influenza.
Lupine Collars and Leads are here!
I often tell people that Lupine collars and leads are the last ones you'll ever buy. Why? They have the best guarantee on the market. If your collar or leash breaks or even if it gets chewed they'll replace free of charge; no hoops to jump through, no strings attached, just bring the broken collar or leash back and get the same size for free. Its that simple.
I'm proud to be able to offer this fine line of products. Check out our new Lupine section in the store today.
