Join us for another amazing walk around downtown Cookeville with Urban Adventures with Stephanie Miller. This walk is generally around 1 1/2 miles in length, with productive stops along the way to practice obedience skill sets. Stephanie is always coming up with new ways to help owners see the world through their pet’s eyes, and interact with it in mentally challenging ways. 

This class is not appropriate for dogs who struggle with reactivity or aggression.

No registration required. Meet at Dogwood Park by the Amphitheater.

Does your dog have good obedience and LOVE to get all the pets? Have you ever considered volunteering with your pup and enriching other people’s lives through Therapy Dog work? These amazing teams bring comfort in so many ways – hospital visits, reading to dog programs, bereavement camps, etc. Not to be confused with Service Dogs, Therapy Dogs exist to make everyone’s life better.
 
Thunderhawk Canine’s Therapy Dog Club will be hosting a Therapy Dog Evaluation with Bright and Beautiful Therapy Dogs. This formal test is a combination of demonstrating obedience under distraction, and a temperament test. The cost is $20 (passing teams will need to join B&B for a cost of $50 annually when submitting all of the paperwork). Dog’s MUST have passed the AKC CGC/Canine Good Citizen test before the evaluation – and with several AKC CGC evaluators on staff, we can help with that too 🙂
Please check the Bright and Beautiful Website for specifics about the test, and rules, at https://golden-dogs.org/. If you have any questions, just let us know! Signing up for the test is as easy as visiting our website www.ThunderhawkCanine.com and signing up! We look forward to seeing you there!

PS – if Therapy Dog work is a future goal for you, we would love to have you (no pups though) help at the test, and we would love to have you join the club! https://www.facebook.com/groups/198651441388171

Canicross is the sport of cross country trail running with dogs. Competitors run open-air courses over natural terrain such as dirt or grass. Dog and human run as a team, with the dog out front while the human gives directional signals.

During this informational meeting, participants will learn all about the sport of Canicross, as well as an overview of bikjoring, skijoring, dry land mushing and more. 10 working spots will learn the ins and outs of training for the train, and unlimited auditing (without dogs). 

A little about Haley:
Haley Mayse, originally from Morristown, TN started her running career in high school with a series of half marathons and a full marathon, Haley showed early on that she was committed to pushing her limits. After graduating high school, she moved to Harrogate, TN, to pursue a Bachelor’s in Chemistry at Lincoln Memorial University. It was during college that she welcomed her first dog, a Siberian Husky mix named Loki, marking the beginning of her deep bond with dogs.

In 2019, Haley and her husband, Daniel, relocated to Cookeville, TN, for her graduate studies at Tennessee Tech. However, Haley’s true calling emerged as she realized her passion for working directly with dogs. This led her to leave graduate school and take a position at the Cookeville Putnam County Animal Shelter, where she could make a meaningful impact on the lives of animals.

Over the years, Haley and Daniel expanded their family with a diverse pack of dogs, including Maggie, Kira, Maikoh, Feyre, Ciri, Kyros, River, and Nia. Her love for dogs naturally extended into the world of dog sports. Since 2020, Haley has competed in various events, including scent work, fast cat, barn hunt, conformation, and agility with her huskies. In 2021, she discovered canicross and bikejoring, and her enthusiasm for these sports led her to participate in numerous races, such as the One World Canine Biathlon, Adventure Canine Challenge, Big Frog Trail Race, and several 5Ks, where she even earned placements.

In June 2024, Haley was honored to become a North American Canicross Ambassador, allowing her to share her passion for canicross and dryland mushing with the middle Tennessee community.
