GRAND OPENING OF A NEW INDOOR DOG TRAINING FACILITY!!

Okay...my poor blog has been seriously neglected lately!  With the best intentions to blog on a regular basis, it seems that every time I'm in 'overload mode' my poor blog takes the hit!  Oh well... my intentions were good!

But... this weekend I'll be taking part in a fun event that I wanted to let everyone know about!  VILLA LA PAWS, a cage-free boarding, grooming, and doggie daycare facility is celebrating the Grand Opening of their new 9,000 sq. ft. indoor Dog Training Academy!  This new space ROCKS!  And the timing couldn't be more perfect...  We're just weeks away from triple-digit temperatures that make the summer months less than stellar times to train our dogs outside!

Come check them out this weekend, Saturday (4/30) and Sunday (5/1) from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. They're located on the NW corner of 32nd St. and Shea (between Second Look and the Dance Studio). There will be agility demonstrations, training demos, dog shows and vendor booths; along with dog massages, dog contests and lots of free give-aways!  Meet their groomers and trainers and check out the fun classes they offer.

And... there will be FREE portraits of your pooches (that will be e-mailed to you following the event), so make sure to bring your pups with you!

Wendi Faircloth, their Training Director, is owner and trainer of this awesome disc dog, Boost!

PHOENIX FUZION FLYBALL TEAM | Phoenix Flyball Photography

I have the chance to photograph a practice of the Phoenix Fuzion Flyball Team a couple weeks ago...  What a blast!  These are some talented dogs; not to mention they were trained by their uber-talented owners!

I wasn't sure I'd be able to make the competition this coming weekend at the Phoenix Cardinals Stadium, so took the opportunity to play while I could!
