Hello! Who has two opposable thumbs and wrote a post last month, only to realize weeks later that it she hadn’t actually scheduled it to deploy? THIS GAL. Whoops. We’re still alive! Waffles is doing really well, learning fast, and committing crimes on the daily. Many of them involve stealing anything made out of cloth, Read more

The Magnificent Breakfast Food wishes everyone a merry month of May and hopes it’s been grand all around. He’s had a month full of new experiences and lots of work-related practice.

Hello, friends! It’s hard to believe that this little furry heathen is 8 months old already. He’s still full of crimes: stealing the hose, digging holes, stealing socks, chasing chickens and ducks… so we try to give him outlets where he’s allowed to do these things with our permission. He is allowed play with the Read more

OH BOY! The Breakfast of Champions has turned 6 months on February 12. He got to spend the week with a houseguest (his Grand-Papa from Canada) and work on his house manners. It’s been punishingly, visciously, dangerously cold here in Minnesota so we have a touch of cabin fever. Waffles, like me, likes to “play Read more

The Breakfast of Champions had a wonderful week! Like all teenagers, he’s either a REBEL or a VERY-GOOD-BOY. On the rebellious front, we forget we have house manners and we’ve hit the “explore all the thiiiiiiings” stage of development. It’s usually when our rock-solid recall goes out the window, especially in class because the instructors Read more

Howdy, folks! This is the face of a guy who was visited by the adolescence fairy for realsies this week. Boy are we in it now, and it’s going to be a while before we come out the other side. Wish us luck! Waffles had a great training week — he went to school three Read more

This is the face of a dog who woke up and chose a life of crime. The last week was one filled with training sessions, obedience school (passed level 2, oh boy!), new training games, and pushing boundaries. Waffles is very much a tween: losing teeth like a shark, feeling the hormones kick in, and Read more

The Breakfast of Champions had another fantastic training week! He’s doing very well in school and during our public training outings. Despite being an absolute shark at the moment (teeth, so many teeth!) he’s making progress by leaps and bounds. This week’s class focus (beyond focus and distractions!) has been on heeling with automatic sits Read more
