To those contemplating the rehoming of a pet, this is not intended to cause shame or guilt, but rather to encourage thoughtful consideration.

It is essential to recognize that there is no ideal home where individuals magically acquire more time or resources. Similarly, there is no farmer in need of an untrained dog, nor is there a rescue organization with unlimited resources and time to devote to every dog.

The reality is that many well-behaved and loving dogs languish in shelters and foster care for extended periods, sometimes exceeding a year, without receiving any adoption applications.

Before resorting to rehoming, it is crucial to exhaust all available options and make every effort to ensure a successful and fulfilling life for your pet. This may involve seeking professional training, exploring alternative care arrangements, or addressing any behavioral challenges.

Remember, rehoming should only be considered as a last resort, and every effort should be made to find a suitable and loving home for your pet.

Work begins before coming to a trainer and after leaving a trainer. You cannot have minimal foundation and then want 8 months worth of training results/progress in 3-4 months And you cannot keep or even move forward in progress and results if you do not follow through at home thereafter. Dog trainers are not wizards or magicians.

Great Tips!

Let's talk about this photo. It's cute, except it's not. I see a dog who cannot get up without telling the child to get off. How do you think a dog is going to do that?

The 7 Golden Toddler Dog Rules:
#1: If a dog walks away from you, you DO NOT FOLLOW.
#2: Always leave room for the dog to walk away from you.
---that right there is 90+% of dog bites eliminated---
#3: We do not climb on the dog.
#4: We do not grab or pull on the dog.
#5: We do not hit or throw anything at the dog.
#6: We do not touch the dog's food.
#7: We do not go into the dog's kennel.

I promise these are not overly difficult concepts for littles, nor will they rob a kid of their bond with the family dog. It will deepen that bond, while keeping everyone safe.

"Oh, it looks like Moose is walking away from you. She is saying she wants a break. Let's play with this instead!"

"It's Moose's dinner time! Let's give her space to enjoy her yummies."

"That is Moose's room(kennel) and only she is allowed to go in there."

"If Moose wanted a break, could she walk away from you right now? No she really couldn't. Let's move away from the play house. You can keep playing but now she can leave when she wants a break."

In conclusion, ***parent your child or your dog will do it for you, and you will not like how they do it.***

Spotted near the intermediate school in Baldwin this morning! Please keep an eye out!

UPDATE 2/26/24: Daisy was spotted in rural Ottawa again this morning about 6:00am, near Sand Creek Rd and Kentucky Rd. A few miles from where she was seen yesterday. Trackers are in the area. Please call Susan with any sightings! 785-248-9029

UPDATE 2/25/24: Daisy was spotted in rural Ottawa about 8am this morning. Please share with friends in the southeast Baldwin, Ottawa, Worden, and Centropolis area! Call Susan with any sightings! 785-248-9029

UPDATE 2/24/24: Daisy sighting at Frontier Farm Credit near 56 & 59 Hwy about 7:00am! She was headed south into a field. Please notify Susan if you see Daisy! 785-248-9029

Update 8:30am… Susan went out to the site and didn’t initially see Daisy, but after walking around for awhile and sprinkling cat food (as advised by trapper groups working with her), Susan got back in her car and drove south. Susan thought she saw a deer, but then realized it was Daisy!! Susan lowered the car window and said her name, Daisy turned and looked, but then ran into the underbrush, and was gone.

We are very close!! This incident demonstrates how frightened Daisy still is. It is common for lost dogs to be scared and hesitant to come, even to their owners, whom they love. So please remember not to chase Daisy or even call her name, but contact Susan right away, so she can implement the strategies given to her by dog tracker/trapper groups, as she did this morning.

ADDITIONAL UPDATE 2/20/24: Daisy was spotted this evening about 6:30pm at 1017 N 635 Rd, near the Willow Springs Fire Station, in the rural Worden & South Lawrence areas. Call Susan at 785-248-9029 if you see Daisy. Share with Worden and South Lawrence friends!

Update 2/20/23: Daisy was seen this morning about 5:00am near the Intermediate Center, then she was followed east to the Subway strip mall area, but eluded her followers again! So she’s in town! Keep your eyes peeled, and call Susan if you see her! 785-248-9029
