Dr Jewell
Hi everyone,
Well we had a great turn out for Dr Jewell, I am so grateful to Gail for working us all into her busy schedule. My dogs all needed a bit of work, even the ones I thought were fine! I feel so much better knowing they have Gail to keep them physically sound, I know I have more aches and pains as I get older and especially after a trial weekend, I am sure they feel the same!
I think we are very fortunate to have Gail come here and work with our dogs on home turf too. There was a massage therapist at the USDAA Trial I was at last weekend and altho I heard he was very good, he charged way more than Gail does AND he isn`t even a vet! I think Gail has been very generous with her time and skills and she always attempts to make it doable for us financially to give our dogs the best care possible.
It was remarkable to see the change in some of the dogs from just before to just after their treatments. And as an instructor I feel so much better when I know my students have had their dogs checked out by Gail. Agility is a tough sport on the dogs physically and it is important to recognize that and try our best to keep them stretched out, warmed up and cooled down and be aware of any changes in their reactions to the stretches and massage.
When Gail was here she took some orders for the Bio-Iso-G. The Small bottle is 52.00 for 239 ml and dose is 2.5 ml per 40 lb. The Large bottle is 155.00 and is 946 ml.
If you want a bottle please bring a cheque (made out to Pawsitive Steps) to the centre on Saturday or Sunday during the Rally O trial. I will send Gail one cheque for all of them on Monday but need to know who wants them.
Thanks

Well we got another big dump of snow last night! Yikes, I don't know if I can even get out of my driveway!

The large room needs to be cleaned up of all agility equipment, crates etc, ring barriers set up, small room cleaned out for crating, that kind of stuff. If you wish to come in a drop off your crate Friday night you are welcome to come in at 6pm.
Remember we will have soup and a bun and a drink for $5.00 for lunch each day.

Drop In times etc
Hi everyone,
Ok a couple of things to let everyone know.
Jan 31 and Feb 1 the centre is closed for regular classes as we have the Rally O trial that weekend. Instructors teaching on Saturday please let your students know this.
Drop In Practice
If you are dropping in on Thursday or Friday mornings to practice please remember that if there are other people there you need to take turns on the floor. Not every dog is happy working with a strange dog so please take no more than 5 minutes on the floor at a time and then give someone else a turn. Also if you have a barking dog please remove the dog from the room when you are not working, you can crate the dogs in the crate room when you are waiting your turn.
Dr Jewell our chiropractic vet will be here once again ( hoping that the weather holds this time!), She will be here Jan 27 and 28. If you would like an appointment with her please email me ASAP.
Also I am away Thur of this week so there are no Jump classes on Thur Jan 22. You are welcome to go in and practice tho!
Ok that

Fw: Funmatch Jan 4th
Hi everyone,
Well I hope you all had a nice relaxing holiday and Happy New Year to everyone!
The Christmas drop in times were a big success, lots of people out to them so that is great. I am always happy to see people really getting the benefit of the centre during our snowy months, and we have a LOT of them!
There is funmatch Jan 4th, all Gamblers rounds. If you are planning to attend please PRE Register by Jan 3rd. We are open for classes on Jan 3rd so pop in and drop off your forms.
I also have Susan Garrett's new 2x2 Traing DVD and I will run it right after the funmatch for anyone who wants to stay and watch it. It is a good idea before you start training the 2x2's that you watch the DVD first so that the process makes sense to you. Anyone who wants to come down is welcome. Probably about 12:30pm.
The new schedule is up on the web site now. Remember many of the classes start up again next week so please get in and register so we know if we have to add or delete certain classes.
The camp brochures will go up on the web site late January as well. Dates for Camp are July 15-17 for Puppy Camp, AAC Trial July 18/19 and Masters Camp July 20-23rd.
Happy New Year! All the best in 2009!
Kim and the staff of Pawsitve Steps
