We got a big snowfall last night. We didn’t think we’d have any kore snow this year. I don’t mind when it makes our home this pretty.

Sadie is getting repeat xrays today. She gets anxious waiting in the exam room, so we do lots of tricks to keep her occupied.

Thank you to everyone who came out for my talk on Tuesday! What topics would you like me to address in future talks?

Thanks to those that came to our talk this evening with Erin of Raising Pawtential! What are some future training/behavior sessions that YOU would like to learn about? Are there any wellness or medical topics that you would like Dr. Misner to cover in a future session? We love educating our clients!

Franklin had a lot of fun at his first Fearless Vet Visit! Practicing in the clinic gave him the real-life experience while working at his pace.

Franklin has a history of being wiggly and upset for nail trims and blood draws.

He got used to the stethoscope touching his sides, poking with the wood end of a swab to mimic needles, paw/leg handling and light restraint. He was excited to participate the entire time! We even figured a less stressful way for the vet staff to trim his nails! He had an appointment that day, so we ended the training session with his nail trims, which he happily stood for while eating his treats.

Everyone was happy he came to a Fearless Vet Visit, including him. Hopefully his next vet appointment is a little easier for him.

Link to sign up for February is in my bio.

Luka is worried about new people. 2 sessions in and he hopped on the couch to cuddle with me! His humans are doing a great job making him feel safe. His world is going to get a lot bigger in the next few months!

I’m so excited to announce I will be offering Fearless Vet Visit training at New Leaf Veterinary Clinic starting January 21st!

Fearless Vet Visits are 25-minute private training sessions in an exam room carefully designed to help dogs who are afraid of the vet overcome their fears.

Spots are currently limited to 4 clients per month. You can book your training session by clicking the link below.

Is your dog afraid of the veterinary clinic? We can fix that with training. Fearless vet visit training is private training in a veterinary clinic, providing a real-life setting to help your dog learn the vet isn't so scary.

Getting a kitten or know someone who is? My incredible cat behavior colleague is starting Kitten Kindergarten! It’s all online and easy to learn. Also, Erica is a wonderful human and teacher. You’ll love her!

Calling all kittens!! I am so excited to announce my first ever KITTEN KINDERGARTEN class! Did you know kittens have a socialization period of development just like puppies? This sensitive period is actually strongest between 2-7 weeks, but kittens are in their sensitive socialization phase up to about 15 weeks old. I'm accepting kittens up to 5 months old for class.

This is our opportunity to mold kitten brains into brave, confident, happy, well rounded adult cats. We want to carefully and positively introduce all kinds of novelty like body handling, new people, vet visits, car rides, carriers, and more!

In this 3 week introductory class, we will go over what is socialization, do socialization exercises together, begin basic training, learn more about your kittens, and create a strong bond with your new kitty.

Classes will be Mondays at 6:30pm mountain time, December 9th-23rd. Class is virtual, which means you can join from anywhere in the world!
