Scientists believe that dolphins use whistles to communicate in a specialised language.
Something unusual unfolds in the sun-covered flat areas of Sarasota Bay. For more than 50 years, researchers have observed and documented local communities with bottlenecks. Her goal was to better understand these intelligent marine mammals. But now, a group of scientists may have moved quite a bit -- to understand how dolphins can talk to each other.

10 Dog Boarding and Training Advantages in One Consistent Location
Dogs learn most effectively when their surroundings, caregivers, and daily structure remain stable. Keeping dog boarding and training under the same roof allows dogs to develop behavioral consistency, reduce stress, and adapt more comfortably. The repetition and familiarity within one location provide a strong base for dogs to absorb new skills. A steady environment helps reinforce lessons throughout the day, not just during structured sessions.

Building a Dog Agility Course
I used to love doing agility with Beau. Every so often, when the agility bug hits, I check out locally posted premium lists and run through my many reasons that I can't enter: I can't afford it, Badger doesn't have weaves, I can't afford it, it's too far to travel and get back to milk goats, I can't afford it, I really don't feel like someone playing "embarrass the human" again so soon . . . However, in 2023, I talked myself into two "For Exhibition Only" entries for Badger at an agility trial in Louisiana, just a couple of hours away. Those entries revealed all the flaws he had that needed correcting before we trialed for real--and I do mean ALL the flaws. "Embarrass the human?" No. Let's true "humiliate the human so badly that she doubts all of her skill as a dog trainer!" But being as resilient (stubborn/gullible/pathetic) as I am, I resolved to work harder on his focus and his weave poles and put away the idea of competing for a while.
