Training days don’t always mean work. Sometimes it’s about learning how to just be together. 💛
How cute is it that Cookie is holding hands with Twizzler and Penia? Moments like that are what it’s all about!🥰
The Power of Doing Nothing
One of the most valuable skills your dog can learn is to simply settle and stay calm.
In a world full of distractions, teaching your dog to relax builds confidence, focus, and emotional balance.
It’s not only obedience — it’s learning calm confidence! ❤️

You probably recognize Gemma — the sweet, confident pup with the big personality! 🐾✨
Krista has been her First-Year Puppy Coach since day one, guiding this smart American Hunting Doodle from Tygh Valley, Oregon.
Before her first birthday, Gemma was already in bird-hunting school—and she’s proven to be both a skilled hunter and a loving family companion. 💛
We’re so proud of how far she’s come — all brains, beauty, and heart. We are so proud to have Gemma a part of Pet & Home Pros Furry family 🫶🏼🐶

Fun Fact Friday: Puppy Growth Matters 🦴
Take a look at these X-rays! On the Right — a puppy’s leg full of wide gaps. On the Left — a grown dog’s leg, fully fused and strong.
When your puppy comes home, remember — their bones and joints are still developing. Those “joints” are mostly soft tissue, so every big jump, slippery floor, or hard landing puts stress on those fragile growth plates.
⚖️ Keep them lean! Extra weight might look cute, but it adds serious strain to growing bones and ligaments — which can lead to long-term joint issues later in life.
💡 Let them grow slow. Avoid high-impact play, stairs, and long walks until your vet gives the all-clear. Gentle, age-appropriate exercise helps build coordination, confidence, and strength safely.
You only get one chance to grow them right — short, gentle play today means strong, healthy joints for life. 💛

Did you know your dog can smell your emotions? Their noses pick up the chemical changes (pheromones) our bodies release when we’re happy, stressed, angry, or sad. 💛

Dune’s parents noticed this firsthand—when they keep goodbyes cheerful, he feeds off their happy energy and stays more relaxed. The same goes for training: dogs read your energy. A clear, confident tone tells your pup you mean it, while hesitation only confuses them. Pair calm leadership + positive vibes, and your dog will thrive to be calm confident

Meet Dune 💛💙 (on the left) — our newest member of the Pet & Home Pros pack! 🐾

Dune’s human works from home, so he’s never spent a night apart before. His social skills with other pups still need some practice, and he’s learning how to navigate new situations.

That’s where Krista comes in. Right now, the focus is on building calm confidence — helping Dune feel safe, supported, and ready to shine. 🌟

Stick around as we share his training journey — we can’t wait for you to watch him grow right alongside us! 💕🐶
