Gold Paws Pet Care

It really doesn’t matter if your dog is friendly or not.

What matters is that you don’t take the choice away from another owner (and their dog) as to who they interact with.

There can be so many reasons why a dog and their owner need space from you and your dog.

Please allow them that choice 💙

Buck on his best behavior visiting Louisville middle school for group with The Legacy Project of Stark 😊❤️🐾

🐾 A 6th Grade Louisville group recently got to meet their mentor’s pup, Buck the Golden! How fun! 🐾

Great job to Program Manager Taylor for helping set up this visit! When Taylor isn’t leading our school-based programs in Eastern Stark County, she’s running her business- Gold Paws Pet Care. 🐾

I love hearing from my client families- especially when it’s so darn CUTE! Fenix and I had a GREAT enrichment day today and she is having the cutest little snooze. Now that’s a happy pup who’s had her needs met! 💤 🐾

We all need a little extra care sometimes and January can be especially difficult. It’s important to still get outside even when the sun is resting. Fresh air and some good natured zoomies are a wonderful cure for seasonal blues.

This is a great resource! Being overwhelmed with a fearful or reactive dog can affect every area of your life. Your emotions make SENSE and are entirely valid. Dogs make up a huge window of our lives and trying to figure out their needs while also managing daily life can take a toll.

If you are dealing with a fearful or reactive dog, know there is help out there for you.

My recommended trainer for fear and aggression is Raising Pawtential. She does AMAZING work while being caring and understanding.

I also suggest joining this Facebook group:

Fearful and Anxious Dog Support Community by Dogkind

You’ve got this, friend.

The holidays are a stressful time for many! It can be especially challenging when you have a pet with behavior challenges or you are a pet professional (veterinarian, vet tech, dog trainer, shelter worker, etc.).

If you need a safe space to discuss your emotions, we have 1:1 Human Support Sessions available to support the human side of the human-animal bond. These sessions are open to ANYONE that needs them, not just Insight clients. https://www.insightfulanimals.com/human-support-services

Does your dog bolt every time you try to retrieve the ball? Aside from teaching a command, try trading for a tasty treat or simply walking away and “ending” the play session. More often than not, your dog will follow (hopefully dropping the ball). Or you can play a futile game of tag in your crocs and pj’s while your neighbors watch… it doesn’t really matter so long as you’re both having fun 😂

Miss Lola isn’t loving the weather and I’m more than happy to spend her time inside with her after a short potty break. Neither of us are ready for the cold! 🥶

If you're looking for the ultimate gift for the herding breed owner on your list, look no further!

Urban Sheepdog is part love story and part user manual. This book is for you if you own a cattle dog, border collie, shepherd, or other herder.

When I wrote this book, my goal was to enhance your understanding of your dog and, in turn, improve your relationship.

This is for you if you’re new to dogs and over your head with your herder. If you’ve worked with them for years, like me, this is for you.
