This year we wanted to do something simple and good for the animals who don’t have it as easy as our own dogs.

From Dec 1–14 we’re running a Holiday Pet Food & Supplies Drive for a local rescue in Arcadia that helps homeless pets find forever homes.

We’re collecting:
• Unopened dog & cat food
• Treats
• Leashes, collars (no prongs, e-collars, choke chains or Martingales), harnesses
• Beds, blankets, toys

HOW TO JOIN
• Drop off items with us [we’ll send you the address] or
• Bring them to any in-person session with us between Dec 1–14

On Dec 17, we’ll deliver everything in one big gift.

If you’d like to take part (even with one bag or one toy), comment “I’m in” or send us a DM and we’ll message you the drop-off details.

Thank you for helping us make life a little softer for some deserving animals this season!

Keeping this passion straight letting love pour out from our family business this is year 11 but this is what forever feels like

when every gotcha day hits harder and harder as the years go on as you look back on the ton of irreplaceable moments you have accumulated over your time spent

moments of growing with your dogs, moments of hurt from the time we have to look forward to towards the dreaded enternal sunset, moments of love and discovery, moments of just pure simplicity of just existing next to each other so comfortably, moments of getting lost in the love you would feel from feeling the impact of how two beautiful souls have joined your life

It’s endless joy in a life of passion with dogs really … AND all while being about to build a life surrounded by the goal to bring more of that love into as many homes as possible, a life so simple but grand sometimes you just take moments really reflect

They’ve fostered my growing passion to help people and animals a like, they have cleared the path of all the things you could do but choose to stay steadfast because of the impact their love has on you, given you THE calling, THE purpose, and be useful to those who need it the most

they are heart of soul of this little family business of ours and this year is just a little harder with them being 8 (Shadow) and 11 (Molly) Happy gotcha days (Molly 5/10 Shadow 5/17) to my two heart dogs Molly and Shadow I love you two so much you’ve opening gates of what love can really mean.

S/o to for always making things so special featuring Shadow graphic tee we will rock with Shade for his special day but for now back to gotcha day celebrations!!

The marathon continues but the mission stays the same.

Those that we have not met, I can’t wait to give you my best and make life easier.

Those that are with us now, I can’t wait to see you manifest your realities.

For those that cannot be with us anymore, I hold your heirlooms in wisdom to do more with what and who is in front me with you in mind.

The marathon continues but the mission maintains the same.

I leave the game better than it was coming in.

Make sure more people realize both the positive and negative impact to how human influence our dog’s behavior.

Show that people they dogs have a choice and a voice in what happens to them when they get greeting people, greeting dogs handled, groomed, having things put on them, there’s so much more but you get the idea.

Good dog training is merely helping to giving your animal a voice while people learn to share dialouge through behaviors.

Facilitate the spark between a person and their dog learning each other for the first time to realize they have more in common than they think.

Show them that a well trained dog doesn’t come from making dogs do things we want because we can.

Show them that people who believe in kind training are strong because they choose the right thing to do because doing wrong to dogs is not right.

Freeing dogs from distress, fear, and anxiety restores their freedoms from environmental discomfort, but we must know what it is we need to restore, the 5 Freedoms in animal care developed by Dr. Roger Brambel helps to define what freedom can look like not just for dogs, but all animals, including us.

Before any reactivity/aggression any behavior modification plan, I always find success by first focus around the main issue to get the root, not merely focusing on the surface level the reactive behavior but the quality of life to the learner.

Dogs need us to recognize this to be successful: what cups to fill (wants, needs, ways to cope with fear), how to fill them (through positive reinforcement/marker training)
Are needs meet? Is welfare and freedom optimized or depleted?

Reminder that dogs are a lifetime commitment not just a nice gift to get for the holidays. Books a reccomend to start research:

The Science of Making Dogs Happy by Zazie Todd is a good general information!

Next I reccomend Meet your Dog by Kim Brophey to get to know kind of dog to get and what to expect out of their behaviors.

And of course Don’t Shoot the Dog by Karen Pryor for foundation mindsets for dog training.

Thank you Team Bug for your kind, thoughtful, and generous review regarding dog training for dogs with special needs. There is always a place here for reactive or aggressive dogs that need a personal expert approach!

Have you worked with us before and like to help us grow our dog training business’ impact?

We always love to hearing from you about your experiences! If you can write a minute testimonial about the impact we were able to make with our training and care services, so many more people with pets in need can get the help they need.

Thank you always for all of your support 🐾

I don’t think we realize how much goes into a loose walking training sometimes and we end up possibly blaming ourselves or even our dog for not seeing results.

Everything you learn can be broken down into easier steps so I broke down leash walking into 7 general buckets of learning.

What aspect of loose leash training is getting you stuck?

For me teaching dogs to generalize their training from different environments can be challenging, and for my own dog it was helpful to break up incorporating distractions where they weren’t so distracting where my dog was able to respond successfully.

I also found some dogs that don’t go on walks as often (mostly because they pull all the time making it stressful for them to be walked..) was taking student dog on routine sniffy walks made distractions easier to work with with more time for them get desensitized normalizing the different sensations so they are more ready to train.

What experiences, discoveries, or insights have you experienced to give you more understanding on teaching your dog not to pull?
