Re-Opening after Covid-19

noreply@blogger.com (SuchGoodDogs) — Mon, 25 May 2020 20:18:00 -0500

Covid-19

It's been a long few months of quarantine for us all. Such Good Dogs will continue to offer dog training lesson over FaceTime.

Maui County is starting to allow us to open back up our business. We will be re-opening to hands-on training sessions starting June 15th, 2020. Training sessions going forward will require the use of masks, (both myself and my clients), as well as a few other restrictions. We are very happy to be able to get back to some hands-on training, but we continue to be careful moving forward and will continue to use safe practices to help prevent further spread of Covid 19.

Mahalo, we hope to see you soon.

Meeting Star Wars characters

noreply@blogger.com (SuchGoodDogs) — Sun, 1 Mar 2020 08:30:00 -0600

Here are some pics with the Star Wars characters they have at Disneyland.

Chewbacca!

I got a hug from Chewy!

I was so excited!

Adam also got a hug from Chewy!

As part of the Galaxy's Edge experience, there is an Ap you can get on your phone and it allows you to hack all kinds of equipment (amongst other things). Here you see Adam helping Chewbacca by hacking something for him. Chewy comes to hug him, and then points to his shirt (a Star Wars shirt that said "Join the Empire"). Chewy did not approve, but it's just a disguise.

R2D2!

Kisses for R2.

Walking around with some rebel Star Wars gear can make you a magnet for interaction.

Phasma stopped to tell me:

"If you're thinking of joining the rebellion, I have some advice for you...DON'T!"

Phasma was outside the Star Wars Launch Bay (outside Galaxy's Edge).

Storm Troopers everywhere!

The massive amount of Storm Troopers within The Rise of the Resistance ride.

It's Rai Skywalker.

Kylo Ren choking a member of his guard.

Baby Sarlacc.

This guy is located above the water fountain in the Market Square.

Wait for him. It's pretty cool to see!

We are at Disneyland in California. We came for Star Wars. My husband and I are HUGE Star Wars fans, so we knew we wanted to get some cool Star Wars gear while at Disneyland. We decided to make our own lightsabers. It was so much fun! Here are some pictures of the of our new lightsabers.

The Millennium Falcon

noreply@blogger.com (SuchGoodDogs) — Thu, 27 Feb 2020 07:00:00 -0600

Day One at Star Wars Galaxy's Edge in California.

First stop: The Millennium Falcon

While moving through the line for the ride,

you get to see the Falcon from all different angles.

It was really cool.

This was inside the hanger where the Falcon was docked.

Inside the Falcon itself!

Adam and I both got to be pilots for the ride itself.

The ride was fun, but we both got a bit of motion sickness from it.

Sitting at this table was like a Star Wars dream come true!

A beautiful ship by day or night!

Ahsoka Agility

noreply@blogger.com (SuchGoodDogs) — Tue, 4 Feb 2020 17:57:00 -0600

Some video from agility with Ahsoka this week. She loves food but gets so excited in agility it doesn't always hold her attention and keep her focused on me (even the good stuff). So today we tried the course with a toy. She was definitely motivated, but ran back to the start looking for the toy. Oops. She's so funny. She had a great time!

Maui Humane Society currently has a male peacock recovering from an injury.

He is very pretty.

Launiupoko Hike

Our friend, Dave, is visiting from the mainland so we took him on a little hike on the Launiupoko trail. One trail leads out to a little wash-out river that the dogs love to jump in. Our friend loved the hike and the beautiful views. And of course the dogs had a blast. Here are a few pics form the day.

Caravaggio is so handsome.

Ahsoka loves the water.

Devo is not a big water guy but loves to hike.
