Our intern, Grace, had her graduation ceremony and Senior Night last night, and found out that she won Intern of the Year from Catonsville High School!!

None of us are surprised - every single day she has come to work at PuC over the last year was an example of her strong work ethic, rare natural abilities, and impressive reliability. She came to work 2 days a week over the past year in addition to a full school schedule, rigorous field hockey schedule, a part time job at a senior center, AND a seasonal volunteer position at a horse farm. How does this much drive exist in 1 person!?

Grace will go off to college this Fall and will leave big shoes to fill. She will continue to study animal behavior academically and wherever she winds up in her career, she will be a significant force of influence and I can't wait to see her story unfold!

Congrats Grace, we are all so proud of you!

The fact that your dog is not getting in fights with other dogs is not a strong indication of whether or not they enjoy spending time with them.

Fighting is expensive to dogs, and a socially smart dog knows this. It jeopardizes their ability to defend themselves, travel, find a mate, chase prey, play.. everything is at risk if a dog is injured severely. Dogs do all kinds of things to avoid getting into actual combat with each other. In fact, many dogs who don't enjoy the company of other dogs whatsoever will do everything in their power to avoid getting into a real fight.

Avoidance, feigned sleep, displacement, and yes -even play - especially for adolescents and puppies, are ways that dogs sometimes avoid confrontation.. But doing these things serves a purpose - to alleviate stress and to appear non-confrontational to others - not to indicate friendliness or feeling at ease.

Look very closely at the confirmation signals and other body language that indicates that your dog isn't actually having a good time in social situations. Do they re-engage once a dog stops interacting with them? Do they spend a lot of of time drinking water, sniffing random objects, scratching or grooming themselves, "sleeping" despite a lot of activity around them, following a human around, or sitting along the outer perimeter of the area? If so.. They're probably just not having much fun, and over time, this will reduce the likelihood that they will be open to adding new members to their social group (meaning, making friends will become harder and less likely) because every interaction makes up the sum of how your dog feels about other dogs.

Want to know an often gatekept secret of dog day cares and kennels? Your dog's temperament is not a "use it or lose it" skill that they need to practice.

If your dog already enjoys the company of other dogs, if they tend to not engage in confrontation even when presented with it, or if they are generally neutral or even friendly with other dogs, they will not lose that characteristic just because they don't practice it, especially by going to places where interactions are not well moderated. The only risk there is the opportunity for things to go wrong if they are placed in uncontrolled situations often, because something will inevitably go wrong. It is MUCH easier for your dog's tolerance to decrease than it is for it to increase when it comes to sociability.

So be picky - be as picky with your dog's friends as you are with the people YOU choose to spend your free time with. I promise you they will not miss the dogs they just don't vibe with and do everything in their power to NOT engage.

😨 Oh no--- Did your dog forget to do their taxes!??

Don't worry... the IRS (the Infinite Reward & Snackery) is giving all Maryland resident V. Good Dogs an extra day to complete their official doguments.... so fortuitous!

Please make sure to help your V. G'Boy or V. G'Girl read each line carefully and to be totally honest -- because just like the form states, under penalty of perjury, impoundment, and/or no treets/only kibs for a whole month, they must declare that they have examined the dogument and to the best of their knowledge and belief, it truly smells great.

UPDATE: HOME & SAFE! 🥳
Catonsville, Woodlawn, Gwynn Oak! Do you recognize this sweet, well cared for dog?? Animal control just picked her up from someone in my neighborhood about 3 streets over, and if you know how the packed the shelters are right now... Well, iykyk. I'll leave it at that.

Edmondson Heights neighborhood, near Barrett road, today.

Help her find her family, she is so obviously loved. Contact BCAS or I can get you connected with the finder. Thanks!

There's nobody out there with bigger Big Feelings than a suspicious, teenaged Frechie! MaLani got a great lesson last night in walking away from things that scare her rather than trying to scare them away herself. Her jolly, confident little trot back to her momma as she turned away from the V. Spooky Guy and his V. Spooky Dog made my heart so V. Happy ♡

STOP SENDING YOUR SENIOR DOGS TO HIGH VOLUME DOG DAY CARES!

There is nothing worse than seeing a sweet, gentle, elderly dog trying their hardest to mind their own business and be invisible and getting knocked over, bullied, jumped on, and seeing them slip and slide on the floors while nobody cares. For the love of Dog. Please. Just STOP.

Why are so many day cares even accepting elderly dogs.

Shame on all y'all.

I'm so mad the Indiana inside me is showing.
I've been told that's how you know I'm big, big mad 🤏😬

Way to go Alaina! We knew you two were a hell of a team on the first day back on the second class of CGC, when you had done the homework to a T and it showed (and then continued to do the same ever since). You get out what you put in and it'll never stop being rewarding to get updates like this from folks I know are working hard 🥰

when they say they have a treat in their hand but you KNOW there is no treat and know for a damn fact they've been empty handed since you talked them into giving you the last treat just for putting your butt on the floor (which you were going to do anyway but who's countin' suckazzz)

Every so often I get participants in my group class that rise above the expectations for the course. Whether it's dedication to the coursework, the teamwork demonstrated, a positive attitude or a general enthusiasm for the lessons- there are many reasons that someone may stand out. This team ticks all the boxes. ✅️

Stevie and Co. hasn't had long to show such a huge improvement in confidence, both handler and dog. Because of her owner's newfound confidence, she stands taller. She makes more eye contact. She chooses to assess vs explode. She is more contemplative and thoughtful.

It's been a pleasure to watch them progress with each other and to have them in class. I'm always so, so thrilled to add another family to the who gives as much consideration to their dog's quality of life as they do their own convenience when it comes to training. Congrats guys! Really great job in this class and I can't wait to see what you all do next!
