How are you spending this beautiful Sunday? This is how we decided to celebrate Father's Day! ❤️🐕🐾😊
Positive Eloise Update! She had a good night and a decent morning! We are still figuring so much out! I'm not great with new routines or time, as most of you know. I can't imagine what she's going through though. She's looking great. I think our morning routine is the hardest with trying to figure out timing of meds so the kick in and she's in a calm state before I leave. Then the feeding and potty routine with her and the other three. I always give them a chance to say hi to each other before bed and when we wake up..... Honestly I Can't believe that last week I had a tripod pup! Can't wait till we do pt together and get her back on the trails! What a fighter I have!

I can only teach so much.... The pack just does the rest! Boundaries, thresholds, and rules are all great. But, without timing, follow through, and consistency you will get nowhere. Speak less words to create less confusion. Stay consistent and make sure to follow through. If you don't, they will end up learning things you don't want. They will learn you don't mean what you say. They will learn you are unstable, not fit to lead and they will try and lead in the end. This goes for anxious dogs especially. If you don't teach them to be confident, show them how to be calm, clearly explain the rules, give them opportunities to make wise choices, or show them that you will protect them. Their anxiety will get worse and they will continue to make bad choices. Be what your dog needs. Be a leader.
Here is video proof of his success! He's come so far since we first met!
Announcement: Bear with us while we recover. Messages will be answered as soon as possible and scheduling will be done a little later than expected. The dogs and I are fine. Just have some cleanup to do, as well as a few repairs to get me out to take care of all of you. See you all soon. Hope you are all safe too.
It's hard being the new kid, especially when you are a Nervous Nellie like ELLIE. Keeping the pack calm and allowing them to take it all in is key! ❤️ Miss. ELLIE ♥️ Saturday morning coffee social hour is my favorite.
