If you are in the US, today's a holiday for many people. Aside from being a day off work and an extra day to train or trial with your dog, Memorial Day is a day for honoring and mourning members of the military who died serving the United States. If you are grieving a friend or loved one who died during military service, much love to you today. ~~~~~ How have you spent your weekend? Do you have any training or trialing successes (or thoughts in general) to share? I've been busy teaching my Backyard Training Matters class in the Clean Run Learning Center. It's a very busy 6 weeks for me because of the demos and video editing involved. My own personal training is currently focused on conformation work for my puppy since I am entering him in his first show in June. I'm pretty nervous about it. There never seems to be enough time! Congratulations to Charlotte & Bluebell and Jen & Sommer for completing BLACKOUT on the May Bingo Challenge! Want to play for Bingo or Blackout?

Hi Everyone! How was your weekend? Post your training and trialing brags here! I've been busy teaching my Backyard Training Matters group in the Clean Run Learning Center, so I spent my Saturday working on my classroom demo for week 2, which involves setting a course and running it a few times with my Whippet, Parker. So, that was fun. I spent Mother's Day with my human family and didn't do anything doggy at all! We're playing BINGO as the May Challenge in our group, and Charlotte and Bluebell have already won Bingo not once but THREE TIMES! CONGRATULATIONS, CHARLOTTE AND BLUEBELL! I'm hoping they are going to get BLACKOUT and complete the entire card! I hope you all will give it a go, too.

How was your weekend? Did you train or trial? Tell us about it! Don't forget that our Bingo group challenge is still going strong. Just visit the Skool group and check out the pinned threads for more info. One of our group members is planning to do the challenge with some friends at a picnic. I'd be happy to help facilitate group efforts or team entries if you are interested. Just message or post in the group. I'd love to bring in some more members and get more conversation happening! Speaking of conversation, I would love it if you would reply to this post in the group! You can brag, report back on your weekend of training, or just include a picture of your dog (or dogs). And tell me what you would like to see in this group to make it worth participating in! Shameless plug: Did you know I created two super niche coloring books? In one, you'll spend a day at an agility trial with some adorable gnomes and their talented dogs. In the other, you can answer the question that I know you've been pondering: what if a dragon was your veterinarian??? :) Check out both books on my author page on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/author/brennafender And please tell your friends, neighbors, and random strangers about them too :) Have a great week! Brenna PS: Attached are some photos from one of my coloring books: "Dog Agility Coloring Book & Story, Which Gnome & Dog Will Win Today?"

The May Bingo Challenge starts today and will run through May 31, 2026. Check out the attached BINGO card and get started! Choose 5 spaces across, down, or diagonally, and complete each of the behaviors indicated with your canine companion. The described behaviors are meant for the dog, not the human, unless the handler is specifically mentioned :) When you've "crossed off" your 5 spaces (or 4 if you work in the "free" spot), submit to the designated thread videos or photos (as needed based on what the task is) showing your completed behaviors. You may also submit the behaviors as you go along and let me know when you've got BINGO. Include your dog's name and the behavior demonstrated in the video. You may choose to submit a copy of the Bingo card with spaces crossed off, but that is not required. Be sure to call BINGO when you finish it! I'll keep a list of those who complete Bingo, and I'll have a cute downloadable image for you to post on social media for each of you. Too easy? Go for BLACKOUT BINGO and complete EVERY SPACE! I'll have a special image for you to share if you BLACKOUT! One dog/handler team per Bingo card. You are welcome to play with more than one dog. Any questions? Post them in the comments. **HERE IS THE LINK TO THE MAY BINGO CHALLENGE SUBMISSION THREAD: https://www.skool.com/backyard-dog-training-matters-2491/may-bingo-challenge-submission-thread?p=d2ea303e
