June 2025 Pupdate for Merlin

Posted 6/19/2025

Merlin is bringing the sunshine to every training session! He’s been channeling that summer zest into polishing up his work in buildings. We’re seeing his confidence bloom right alongside his skills, and it’s been so rewarding to watch him take it all in stride. After a good day of routes, he loves going into our sniffy yards to roll in the sandbox, or stretch out in the shade with a good bone like he’s on vacation.

Merlin sits in front of some purple flowers with his harness on. He is staring off to the side of the camera, maybe pondering where he might get to work to next.
Merlin is mid roll in the sandbox, he is on his back and has his eyes closed with sand all over him and his face.
