Wonder Puppy Open House

Our beloved trainer, Casey Newton, has out done herself! Casey opened her new retail location for her business "Wonder Puppy" (www.wonder-puppy.com) today in the Pearl District in Portland, OR. Casey has been a part of our journey with Sassy since the 2nd week after Sassy joined our family and we couldn't have done it without her guidance, love and support. So we wanted to make sure we supported our Casey in her new business venture! Congratulations, Casey! The space is fantastic and beautiful, but it would be nothing without you and your passion and love for what you do! We love you!

Here are photos of Casey's wonderful vision brought to life! Introducing: "Wonder Puppy"!

Beautiful signage and logo!

These are "pup cakes" and dog cookies fit enough for humans to eat!

Retail portion of the space filled with many goodies and cute puppy supplies!

Cute!

Puppy bowls--so cute, I can't stand it!

Lots and lots of people came!


Lots of puppies showed up with their people, too!

Sassy LOVES Casey and so do we! Best of luck, Casey!

On a training side note: one of Sassy's biggest challenges is meeting new people and dogs. This event was great practice for her and she did very well! We are very proud that she was able to calm herself down within 10 minutes of being here. She also accepted many pets with grace and sitting!

Sassy's Famous!

Hi Everyone,

I am so sorry I haven't been posting much lately...our little household is on round 2 with the "crud" that has been going around school and everywhere else. On top of that, life just doesn't seem to slow down for anything lately.

We had a terrific training session with Jack and Sassy last Saturday (I would have taken photos, but my hands were full controling Jack). We begun the actual training to "find Jack" to Sassy and by the end of our session, she was responding to the command "Find Jack"! She's so awesome! Jack initially didn't want to do anything, but after a bit of "deep pressure", we were able to convince him to work hard.

This Saturday, our trainer, Casey Newton, is opening her first retail/training location for her new business "Wonder Puppy" (http://www.wonder-puppy.com/) and she is featuring our Sassy! I'll for sure be able to take pictures and promise to post them on the blog on Sunday. If you live in the Portland Metro area, please come!

(The photo is from a little while back, but I promise to have new photos soon.)
