Just finished watching Michael Shikashio on the Postively webinar for this year's Dog Behaviour Conference.
I love watching this trainer work and to be able to pick his brain even for 15 minutes afterwards is amazing!!
2 hours worth of information, my brain needs a break!

When the safety and wellbeing of the dogs at work are more important than my own safety....ahhh the life!
This is what happens when you fall lol
Rather me be injured than a dog

What do you expect from a rescue when looking for and potentially adopting or fostering a dog?
Help?
Communication?
Professionalism?
Understanding?
Knowledge about the wellbeing of the dogs in their fosters home?

What else do you expect from a rescue organization that deals with rescue dogs?

Just an interesting topic a few coworkers and I got into the other day and am looking for everyone's opinion?

Sharing from Carrie's Calming Canine Coaching

Everyone who is thinking of getting dogs should read this because you need to understand this reality:

***I am a 21st century dog.***
-I'm a Malinois.
Overskilled among dogs, I excel in all disciplines and I'm always ready to work: I NEED to work.
But nowadays I get asked to chill on the couch all day everyday.

-I am an Akita Inu.
My ancestors were selected for fighting bears.
Today I get asked to be tolerant and I get scolded for my reactivity when another approaches me.

-I am a Beagle.
When I chase my prey, I raise my voice so the hunters could follow.
Today they put an electric collar on me to shut up, and you make me come back to you - no running - with a snap of your fingers.

-I am a Yorkshire Terrier.
I was a terrifying rat hunter in English mines.
Today they think I can't use my legs and they always hold me in their arms.

-I'm a Labrador Retriever.
My vision of happiness is a dive into a pond to bring back the duck he shot to my master.
Today you forget I'm a walking, running, swimming dog; as a result I'm fat, made to stay indoors, and to babysit.

-I am a Jack Russell.
I can take on a fox, a mean badger, and a rat bigger than me in his den.
Today I get scolded for my character and high energy, and forced to turn into a quiet living room dog.

-I am a Siberian Husky.
Experienced the great, wide open spaces of Northern Europe, where I could drag sleds for long distances at impressive speeds.
Today I only have the walls of the house or small garden as a horizon, and the holes I dig in the ground just to release energy and frustration, trying to stay sane.

-I am a border collie
I was made to work hours a day in partnershipwith my master, and I am an unmistakable artist of working with the herd.
Today they are mad at me because, for lack of sheep, I try to check bikes, cars, children in the house and everything in motion.

I am ...
I am a 21st century dog.
I'm pretty, I'm alert, I'm obedient, I stay in a bag...but I'm also an individual who, from centuries of training, needs to express my instincts, and I am *not* suited for the sedentary life you'd want me to lead.
Spending eight hours a day alone in the house or in the garden - with no work and no one to play or run with, seeing you for a short time in the evening when you get home, and only getting a small toilet walk will make me deeply unhappy.
I'll express it by barking all day, turning your yard into a minefield, doing my needs indoors, being unmanageable the rare times I'll find myself outside, and sometimes spending my days sunk, sad, lonely, and depressed, on my pillow.
You may think that I should be happy to be able to enjoy all this comfort while you go to work, but actually I’ll be exhausted and frustrated, because this is absolutely NOT what I'm meant to do, or what I need to be doing.
If you love me, if you've always dreamed of me, if my beautiful blue eyes or my athletic look make you want me, but you can't give me a real dog's life, a life that's really worth living according to my breed, and if you can't offer me the job that my genes are asking, DO NOT buy or adopt me!
If you like the way I look but aren't willing to accept my temperament, gifts, and traits derived from long genetic selection, and you think you can change them with only your good will, then DO NOT BUY OR ADOPT ME.
I’m a dog from the 21st century, yes, but deep inside me, the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who pulled sleds, the one who guided and protected a herd still lives within.
So think **very** carefully before you choose your dog. And think about getting two, rather than one, so I won't be so very lonely waiting for you all day. Eight or ten hours is just a workday to you, but it's an eternity for me to be alone.

The more I read about Separation Anxiety training, the more sure I am that this is the right course of action for me!!!
I've been reading "Separation Anxiety in Dogs, Next Generation Treatment Protocols and Practices" and the amount of information on Separation Anxiety training and understanding is completely fascinating to me!!!
I'm half way through the book and I have to tell myself to put it down before I stop absorbing all the important information that is given!
Baby steps to getting that next certification in becoming a SA Pro then onto becoming a CSAT!!!!

02/09/2024

Facts!

02/03/2024

I have spent some time today researching what I need to do to start the journey into becoming a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer and for the course I want to enroll in (really the only reputable one) I have to be a trainer for 3 years.
With that being said, 2 years until I can apply to start the schooling but that just gives me something to work towards!
I can start by getting some literature from the top CSAT's including Malena DeMartini! I've ordered one book that will be here hopefully Monday!
Now I know where to set my focus, and start the path to becoming a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer!!!
Everyone has to start somewhere!!!

02/03/2024

So I have been thinking about this for a while and I've finally decided that once I can afford it I am going to take a course to become a certified separation anxiety dog trainer.
I've been training dogs for just over a year now and the amount of people I see with the need for help in that department is overwhelming.
I know how best I can help and target my dog training skills!
As much as I love doing basic obedience with puppies and adults a like and doing private trainings, I want to be able to offer more!
Here's hoping that before the end of the year that dream will be on the road to happening!

Playtime indoors!!!!

01/09/2024

And this is the benefit of doing things the way we do at Paws Pet Pad! Odin came to us as a human reactive/dog reactive boy, and has come so far in his time here!!!
He's more comfortable with the staff and today we got to introduce him to a couple dog friends and he enjoyed himself playing and running around with them!!!
Just another reason I got into the business of dogs and dog training!!! For these moments!

Knox wants all the attention today!!!

When your cat takes your dog's bed!
Mr Mt Everest has stolen Poppys bed and refused to give it up when she tried!
Now look at him!

She caved and finally curled up on the other bed!

She's so smart! I just love her so much!!!
