Dear Valued Customers,

It's been a while since I've sent a newsletter. It's been busy and I've got lots of things to tell you. So glad summer is here! If you don't already know, classes formerly at the Animal Ark Pet Resort are now at Clippard Park in Colerain Twp off Dewhill. We have been there since mid March and it has been so much fun. Life distractions, warm weather, lots of sunshine and wide open space. I love it. I will be sad when fall comes and we have to stop.

Mac is getting over a Canine Virus and now a rash. He will be back in class soon. He is getting bigger and smarter (I hope). See pic at top.

I will be closed for classes Tuesday July 3rd, Wednesday July 4th and Thursday July 5th. Hope you all have a great 4th holiday!

Thank you for choosing me as your trainer of choice. I enjoy and appreciate you and your dog. If you and your dog have benefited from my classes and you are happy with my services, would you do me a favor? Tell them on Angie's List, send me an email, text or Facebook message with your testimonial. I would love to use it in my newsletters, brochures, rackcards and Facebook. I will only use your first name and city if you want. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

My neighbor's dog Simba passed away last week. He was a 13 yr old Malamute. Great dog. We also lost Toby, one of my client's dogs, a rottweiler who had osteosarcoma. Both will be truly missed by all who loved them.

Keep cool, keep calm, keep training,

Woofs and hugs to all,

Lydia

The Benefits of Coconut Oil for Your Dog

Your dog can benefit in many ways from coconut oil. It has antibacterial, antifugal and antiviral properties. It can help in weight loss,athletic performance, help balance thyroid, helps skin conditions, helps odors, helps IBS, disinfects and promotes healing of cuts and wounds, hot spots and dry skin. These are just some of the benefits and dogs LOVE it. You need to buy a high grade to get the greatest benefits. See

www.cocotherapy.com

You can also buy it at the Anderson Twp Family Pet Center. They sell tons of it every day.

Therapy Dogs in Training

Classes graduated this spring include: Willie, Dugan, Barkley and Blaze. They all did wonderful and many thanks to the mentors who also helped them succeed: Marlene and Lily, Drew and Bailey, Khari and JC, Karen and Harry and Sharon and Lotus. I have not scheduled a new class yet but if you are interested, email me and as soon as we get enough teams, I'll have another class.
