Greetings pet parents, Doglando Mom's and Dad,
This is Hannah the newest camp coach to join the team. I thought I would start by introducing myself and giving you a little background information about me. I graduated from the University of Florida in 2007 in business administration with a concentration in marketing. After college I worked at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University as an office manager of the athletic department. While I enjoyed the people and location, I knew I had other interests and goals that I had to start getting my hands into and that’s how I came across Doglando.
I have always had a strong passion for dogs and thought it would be a great transition to move from an office setting to the beautiful outdoors and be around my favorite furry creature. I didn’t quite know what to expect walking into this experience but I came in with a fresh mind, my ears open and my hands ready to get dirty.
It’s been a little over a month since I joined the team and I have learned so much about my group of dogs, my own dog and myself and goals for the future. I have spent the majority of my time observing the dogs and trying to figure out their personalities, what they are thinking and what there next move might be. One of the most interesting things I have noticed is that each dog enjoys spending their time at Doglando differently. Some dogs are perfectly content with just lounging in the sun all day soaking up the rays in an open spot where dogs may interrupt or may not (very few though, and sometimes it sure would be easier if they were all that way lol.... but after all it is why they come to Doglando).
Others would love to play one day, but for now are building up their courage and confidence, in the meantime they may find a low traffic low key location where they run little risk of getting trampled over. Some dogs are extremely high energy and do not relax for one moment whether they are playing with a toy or chasing and rolling around with a buddy.
Then we have the silly clown dogs that are always creating mischief. There are the ones rolling on their backs in something yucky or pouncing on another dog or unexpectedly jumping out of the pool when another dog has finally build up courage to go check it out; regardless its never the "same day" at Doglando.
What kind of dog is your dog a lounger, a hider, a constant energetic or a clown? You might be surprised how your dog acts when he doesn’t have mom or dad setting boundaries J

Hi Hannah! This is Denise: Yoda's, Chiqui's, Coco's and Bo's Mom! You tell me how my dogs behave over there!! At home, Coco is the enrgetic one, always jumping on the others trying to start a chasing game. Bo is the total longer. He walks 5 feet and throws himself on the ground where it's almost impossible to move him from. Yoda is even more of a lounger and snores day and night, even when he's awake, but one of the most alert ones when it comes to weird sounds. Chiqui is the is the "watch dog": She watches the groceries bags on the floor when you bring them in. She watches the Guinea Pig cage when you clean it. She watches anything new you bring into the house, like it was for her to "protect"! That's how they are at home!..
lol... how interesting. Well I am sure all the Doglando mom's will agree, that Bo is far from just a lounger... but, on the same token he is our bobo... the sweet, gentle, patient boy who awaits his treats during treat time every time.
Talking about treat time... well I have yet to still give Chiqui a treat... I normally just throw it to her, and Coco has no issues taking them, while Yoda either bull dozes his way through or snorts at you really loud reminding us "not to forget him."
I think Belle is just crazy no matter where she is :) Kerri (Belle's mom)
