    Meika's 6 months and out at a 2 week puppy boot camp. We miss her, but sleeping in until 8am has been nice. 😆

    Doesnt feel like winter today

    Just obedience, manners, etc. I couldn't imagine taking on another hobby like running agility or protection work lol. We're doing private lessons with a trainer as of right now and doing well. We're considering their 2 week boot camp if we have any lingering concerns after the next few months...

    Thank you. Yes she has a very calm demeanor aside from your average puppy antics and zoomies. She's very bright and takes to training well. The crate training is the only hiccup we're having but I think it has to do with correcting some learned behavior before we got her.

    Meika wanted to spend zero time inside while the temps warmed up to 65f today. Off to training class soon.

    Leather Leash & Collar Making Questions

    Leather Leash & Collar Making Questions

    It varies depending on square footage. I dont recall but I believe my latigo I get for sub $8 sq ft. I buy 14-16 Hermann Oak saddle skirting for almost $10 a sq ft. Keep in mind with that price 24 sq ft of latigo is the same price as $20 sq ft of Hermann Oak so the size of the side is another...

    Leather Leash & Collar Making Questions

    It seems as though I am late to the party. :( Ingrid has some fantastic answers. I wish shipping was a bit more economical. I am looking to move soon to upgrade my shop and I have GARBAGE BAGS of scrap that im still holding onto to attempt to make use of waste. I use primarily latigo and bridle...

    Cool dog collar links

    I noticed Kylon makes you check a box acknowledging their wait times. Where has that idea been all of my life :)

    What if your home caught fire?

    The only downside to this is that leaving the door open actually feeds the fire. Compartmentalization helps stop fire spread. Fire needs oxygen to continue to burn. While you would hope they would find the exit, pets in my experience are found in corners, under beds, and in the most light...
