Lost and found fashion show! 👀

We’ve had three coats hanging out on our hooks for months now, living their best retirement life. If they belong to you, please swing by this week to scoop them up — otherwise we’ll happily donate them to someone who needs a warm layer this winter. ❤️🧥”

Couldn’t ask for a better way to start the day — a crisp fall morning, beautiful colours, and happy Border Collies by my side. 🍂❤️

Well the other two are around there somewhere LOL.

Out with Fizz today, soaking up the Halloween chaos.

The vibes are scary, decorations flapping, spooky inflatables doing their thing...

Perfect setup for a little vibe-check in the real world.

When we’re out like this, I’m always watching her body language.

Not just what she’s doing, but how she *feels* while doing it.

That’s how you build true confidence...
The kind that holds under pressure.

Not just “looks fine” in training, but stays steady when things get weird, noisy, or unexpected

(like... trials, anyone?).

Things I watch in my dog, especially in busy environments:

Tail: loose and waggy = good. Tucked or stiff = we’re pushing too hard.

Bum: light and springy is different than crouched and heavy. Movement matters.

Eyes: soft, curious eyes mean she’s still thinking. Wide or locked-on usually means I need to pause.

Ears: forward and flicky? Curious. Pinned back or frozen? We’re past her comfort zone.

Whole picture: I’m not chasing perfection, just a dog who feels safe enough to stay in the game.

Forced confidence can look good for a while... until it doesn’t.

I’d rather go slow and build something solid.

We’re a team.
We move at the pace of whoever needs confidence.

Sometimes it’s me.
Sometimes it’s her.

That’s the nature of this work.

And I’ve walked this road enough times to know...
we *will* get there.

There’s no rushing good foundations.
The dog sets the timeline.

But if you’re really watching: if you’re truly listening: they’ll tell you exactly what they need.

And that?
That’s the shortcut.

Not more pressure.
Not fancier drills.

Just better listening.

That’s what gets you there faster.

Every time.
