Vykor’s been working hard, and I’m excited to share a new compilation of some of his obedience moves along with his latest bite work! He’s just started training with the bicep bite on a Belgium sleeve, and I have to say, the #Seynaeve team did an amazing job—the quality of their equipment is truly world-class.

Over the last several months, Vykor faced a significant and serious health setback that left us uncertain about his future. We weren’t sure if he would ever be able to work or live pain-free again. I shared more about his journey in a video caption on YouTube and Instagram.

Now, seeing him pain-free and making such great progress in his recovery fills me with so much joy. My Rock Star is back!

We haven’t posted about Vykor for a while, and I wanted to share why. From our Belgium trip in September 2023 to July 2024, we faced some significant health setbacks. It was a tough time for both of us—first, I struggled with my own health, and just as I began to recover, Vykor was hit with a severe co-infection of Lyme and Anaplasmosis, both transmitted by the black-legged tick, which is prevalent in Nova Scotia.

There was a heartbreaking period of uncertainty where we weren’t sure if Vykor would ever be able to work again, or even live pain-free. We shed a lot of tears during that time, fearing the worst. But through it all, we were incredibly fortunate to have a support network that was there for us every step of the way. Their presence was invaluable as we did everything possible under the vet’s guidance.

Vykor went through eight weeks of antibiotics, and his infection was severe—when a level of 30 is considered severe “requiring immediate treatment,” his levels were at 301. But surprised, we’re thrilled to have him back, pain-free, which was our immediate goal. We still have many months ahead to rebuild his muscle and help him regain the weight he lost, but the strength and tenacity Vykor has shown are nothing short of remarkable and inspiring. I’m sure his vets were as surprised as I was by his resilience.

Welcome back, my Rock Star! You mean the world to me and yes, this is him wanting to work. Retirement in his mind, wasn’t an option, because he absolutely loves this connection.
Some of his best heeling yet!
