Clinic 4 for Surfing dogs !

Hey All,

Those that came ans listened to us !!! Johanna and Hurley, Andy and Lucy, Journey and his mom and pack of dogs !!! We even got a couple randoms off the beach to hang with us, a 11yr + yorky caught a tandem wave with Rambo the 5 month Mini Wiener dog ! Lil Petey was cut fancy yorky, then when he got wet his moma yelled OMG, I said no no look you can see his lil Muscles he's a tough dude.. anyhow we had fun, Hurley the wild and crazy ball hog got to level 2, meaning his momma was able to have him jump on the board on his own, then she could walk him around, he really learned how to balance on his own, we also met a nice guy named William that was helping us out a bit, and he got to learn to paddle and take pancho with him too.. Golie finally showed up, he was bugging his mom, but Trisha was draggin her tail, so they got to come and he got to chill with is surf pals, so back to Hurley He won STAR student for the day and he gets a neat gift next time we see him ( I left them at the office, woops). Now I have to tell some of you people ( actually LOTS of you ) not exactly sure why the emails telling me the wves are to big blah blah.. I'm not here to put your dogs in harms way, I checked the break on Fri and it was almost as good as I have ever seen it. So you all missed out on about 2hrs in the am and 1.5hr at 6pm, Kia caught 3 100+ yard runs it was like she rode for ever ( this is the same type of break in SD at the Del Mar dog beach) and people on the beach were amazed.. also Pancho rode 2 waves but his tall skinny legs he tends to bail if the board gets funny, where Kia will hang on till the end !!!

So enjoy a few of the picts, if you were ther email me 2 of your best picts and I'll put them all in the clinics gallery at SurfinPaws.com as it's tough for me to shoot picts of the pups riding when I'm pushing them on to the waves ;)!!!

Once again we got here at 9am and left at 7pm Sunday so a nice fun filled day with pals !

Mahalo !

Dog/Cat CPR

Hi All !

So this coming Sat were off to the Loews Dog Surf contest in Coronado just south/west of San Diego downtown so if you want something fun to do come on down, June 20th to cheer all the pups on !!!

Now I'd like to let everyone know that learning CPR for your pet is So very important ! We have a great resource to use from a gal named Melanie Monteiro on page 122 of her book this is covered, she has kindly donated some of her books for our event. I also found a simple sheet you can print that covers CPR here !

Make sure you take the time to at least read and print this as you never know when it might come in handy I'm taking a CPR class for animals soon, as I travel alot and now having 3 dogs out running it's a good idea for me to have it just in case. I hate to say but when we held a clinic we saw a couple that brought two dogs to the beach and the one was 60lbs+ but the other was about 10lbs ( Yorky) if that and they let the lil guy swim and swim and he went into cardiac arrest and our pal TJ ( and the lifeguard) tried to save him, the parents made way to many mistakes that could have maybe helped save his life he was just 7yrs.

In any event BE educated and ready for anything, I say at least keep the cpr sheet laminated and in your car or back pack and make sure you know of a 24hr emergency care ( pet, NOT human, human hospital will Help Zero) close to your area, one thing I have always done when I travel is pay attention to the vets or clinics that I pass along the way just in case( I see so many people that have not the faintest clue when they pull into a new town) you will need one or might be able to help someone else in need !

1st Surf Clinic Rocked ! Dogs surfing rocks !!!

Hey All,

Just a quick note to Thank Crystal for showing up and helping out, also the gals from the OCSPCA popped in to see what was up! Also thanx to the people that showed up, we had Kia jump writ up for basicly lesson 2 that's gettin you pooch to want to jump on the board willingly ! then I pulled her for the dogs to see. Then we had Maggie step up and jump on 1st time, then her brother, then even Golie our sweet Boxer that Trisha drove down from LB ! Also our Pal TJ showed up and we had Crystal paddle with her two min pins, now keep in mind we were in 2ft of water and it was dead calm why we had not put vests on the dogs yet as it was one on one. But keep in mind we always promote using vests and we had them but since it was so shallow it was easier to have them just take turns. now all lessons from here on out will Require vests as we will graduate to the open ocean and that for sure will warrant vests !!!

I have posted the picts at this link so that you all can add to them if you have surfing dog picts ! It's an open group so you can post picks from your training, yard, lake, beach or anything that apply's to teaching a dog to surf !

Thanks again to all ( including Crystal's pal Katharine), and also to Campster.com and Kiapet.com for donating a board ea to our loaner program !

Woof Woof,
