Penny's transformation is truly inspiring! Her positive attitude and eagerness to learn have made her a star in our rehabilitation and training program. We're excited to share her journey and can't wait to see her find the perfect family to love and care for her.

We’re on Day 5 and after some much needed decompression and trust-building exercises, we moved on to walking and pack integration.
Panny has an awesome laid back energy while being goofy and fun when playing. Her favorite seems to be a game of fetch. She’s mastering “sit, down, wait and come”. And as soon as my new raised bed gets delivered we’ll be working on “place”, although she already seems to be an expert at it. I have some great videos which I’ll post later.

Please feel free to reach out if you’re interested in fostering or adopting Penny.

Whoa, that's quite a pose, Penny! Comfortable, eh? 😂 Anyway, I guess whatever works for you!
By the way, this is Penny, a rescue from Lockhart Animal Shelter, currently with Method Dog Training for board and train while searching for a dedicated foster or forever home. Stay tuned for her daily progress! Method Dog Training

Day 0 - slow and relaxed integration, with lots of rest and security. Building trust while promoting calmness.

Penny is a GDS, about 2-3yo, approx 70lb, spayed.
Very gentle, playful and seems to be motivated by attention.

Training any animal is the same. “Reinforcement training”!!! Fish or dog, it’s all the same. How cool is that.

Another heat advisory!!!
We all know that “hot streets can burn your dog’s feet”. But we still have to walk our dogs. So here’s what to do.

#1 Walk during cool times of the day.
I see so many people taking their dogs for walks 4 to 6 pm. Those are the hottest times.
So take your walk either early in the morning (before noon anyway) or after sun sets.

#2 Check the temperature of the surface.
No thermometers needed, just your bare feet. If you can’t stand or walk on the surface for few minutes without shoes then it’s too hot for your dog.

#3 Use paw protection for your dog.
A wax balm is probably the easiest, but there are also single use paw adhesive, which are good for aging dogs who have trouble gripping the floor, or some booties, but we know not all dogs like them and it takes a bit of patience and practice.

I’m including some links.

Paw Wax - https://amzn.to/3XKpJBc
Paw adhesives- https://amzn.to/4cGSNhe
Dog booties - https://amzn.to/45Izdi4

Your dog’s paws are very sensitive and can easily burn. Keep them healthy and safe.

Can I make my dog a service dog? This question comes up a lot. Most service dogs start out from a specifically bred litter. There are some jobs that rescue dogs could be trained to do. But this type of training is certainly not a passive hobby, it needs dedication and stamina from both the handler and the dog. Which is why, just slapping a vest on a dog that says “service dog” is irresponsible and disrespectful.

Today is one of those perfect days. It would be a shame to stay indoors. So we went to checkout MUTTS Cantina Austin to meet up with likeminded people and pups.
Monty, as regal as always, seemed to like the place as well.

Unfortunately, rescues and shelters often opt to castrate dogs at a young age due to the lack of trust in people's ability to monitor and control their pets, but there are consequences both ways. (Orig post from mk9plus)

Coyote mating season is upon us. This means coyotes are more active, hungry and aggressive. They can jump 8ft fences with ease and will go after dogs, cats or any livestock if left unprotected.
🐾Please bring your pets inside at night!!!🐾

The definition of barrier reactivity. I wouldn’t try to nurture this and try to address why they are reacting the way they are, but the point is that looks can be deceiving. Know and address the root cause.

A quick walk, few minutes of no stress proximity training, a kong to lick, some horsing around with the pack (all of which took less than 45min) - results in a tired dog who is going to be happily sleeping or calm for several hours, allowing me time to get my work done.

This pic was too regal not to share. It’s unbelievable that Monty hasn’t received very many apps, although I am very selective. I see his amazing potential and want the world for him. He picks up new information very quickly and loves, and needs to work. If you were ever interested in working with a dog for , , support dog or to practice any other training skills, this dog is for you. We are currently working on and preparing for designation. Please reach out if interested.

For anyone who says “crating your dog is evil or cruel”. This huge guy, all on his own and without prompting, squeezed himself into the a crate meant for a Chihuahua. 😂
Monty loves his crate and he’s perfect when in it. He uses it for naps, at night time, or when things get too rowdy.
