Beaker’s human has been working diligently with us on his dog and stranger directed reactivity, and recently shared a wonderful progress update! “I just wanted to say thank you for the work that you have put in for Beaker and I. We both have so much more confidence in our abilities and he is getting better and better around other dogs and people. We were brave enough today to go walk near the river (and stop to play in it too). Thank you so much. I can’t wait to see his continued progress with your help.” We love getting to help people and their dogs live life to the fullest and are so proud of this pair for their dedication!

Do you think pain is a contributing factor to your dog’s behavior concerns? Do you feel like something deeper is going on than meets the eye? Lauren is the person to talk to! We recommend her Dynamic Dog services so strongly!

🎉 Today marks one year of being a Dynamic Dog Practitioner!

This past year has been full of learning, growing, and, most importantly, helping dogs whose challenges were so often mislabeled as “just behavior.”

Dynamic Dog Assessments have given me the tools to see the whole dog, connecting posture, gait, pain, and behavior in ways that change lives.

There was a dog who hid under the bed for days after storms until we discovered subtle back discomfort changing how she moved.

A dog who went from pacing and panic during fireworks to calmer days once nerve pain was addressed.

And a dog who struggled with reactivity and frustration until we realized bilateral hip dysplasia was limiting her movement.

All of these dogs reminded me that pain, posture, and behavior are never separate. They are threads in the same story.

When we listen to dogs through their bodies as well as their actions, we find answers we might otherwise miss.

If your dog’s behavior has changed suddenly, or if something just doesn’t add up, don’t lose hope. We can always look deeper together.

Thank you to everyone who trusted me with their dog’s story this year. Here’s to another year of helping dogs move, feel, and live better.

Sweet, spunky Mars struggled with dog-directed reactivity after being adopted from the shelter and settling into his new home. His family has been so patient and dedicated, doing everything they can to help him feel safe in the world! With that patience and persistence in positive reinforcement training, Mars was successfully able to make his first canine friend outside of the shelter! We’re so proud of all of his family’s hard work! Congratulations Team Mars 🎉🎉

It has been incredibly hot the last few days, and is shaping up to be a very hot weekend as well 🥵

If you can’t beat the heat to get your dog exercise, puzzle games like this are a great way to provide indoor enrichment and mental exercise while avoiding the worst of the heat. Stay safe and cool out there everybody!

Both of trainers had the absolute pleasure of working with Benny and his guardian- Jessica did separation anxiety work with them virtually, and they attended Maria’s Good Manners class! We’re one piece of the equation, but the dedication and the work that Benny’s person put into making his life better has made such a big impact for him!! Congratulations on graduating Good Manners and working up to 4 hours of safe alone time, Team Benny 🎉
