Improving communication between dog and human to help families find their “normal” as well as ke

Over the years I have learned to replace the word “aggressive” with “excited”. Try it. It changes the whole narrative. With that being said, everyone meet, Gypsy! We are going to help her fill out her dating profile and help find her a family to call all her own’ welcome, Gypsy!

When you’re working with rescue dogs who haven’t been adopted yet there are many unknowns. “How does the dog respond to being in a crate?” “How long does it take for the dog to settle down when you’re in the room?” “How about when you’re gone?” And the list goes on and changes from dog to dog. Once we gather the info , we share it with the rescue and we start filling out their “dating profile”. So while the rescue is looking for a foster or adopter who can handle their dog we work on their challenges to not only make it easier for the next person but also to provide guidance along the way. We like to be there for the dog for as much of the process as needed. Thank you to all the rescues who trust us with their dogs. 🙏🏾

Sometimes rules and boundaries are set to enjoy freedoms not necessarily restrict it. And it’s ok to have different rules in different areas. For us, the rule in the house is simple. It’s to rest. “Rest” is such a simple rule for the dogs (and us.) the it completely eliminates any list of no” foe the dogs that we might have.

How a dog acts in one environment is not always how they will act in every environment . Even if something changes in an environment they are comfortable in, the behavior can change. For example, deciding to have a party in your house in an area where your dog is used to sleeping. So before you take your dog somewhere new, or change anything. Have a plan beforehand so you don’t find yourself over correcting your dog . Being aware and having a plan can mean more to your dog than “commands”.

Everyone meet, Grace! She’s our first board and train of 2025 thanks to ! They say a dog needs at least 3 days to decompress so I guess that makes her “3 Days Grace”. 😂 Only some of you might get the reference . Anyways, we will help her fill out her dating profile and find the best home for her! Welcome, Grace!

You can take your dog to the best trainer in the world and spend thousands on training but if you’re not going to put in the work, it’s not going to work. It’s like hiring a personal trainer and eating like crap and not doing the workouts and complaining to them that you’re “regressing” . Do the work or it won’t work.

More than likely your puppy needs rest, close to 85% of the day. Many behavior problems, and I feel this holds true for humans, are caused by lack of sleep/rest and not lack of exercise. We are our best selves when we are well rested. So when your puppy is awake and needs physical exercise, be intentional with your time. And if you don’t know what do to, “rest” can be your exercise.

Sometimes having a reactive dog is a lot like having the same argument with your significant other over and over again. You gotta recognize the pattern before it starts and then break that pattern. The one in the relationship with the most information is the one most responsible so when it comes to you and your dog, that responsibility falls on the human. It’s all about communication and every relationship will have disagreements . So at the end of the day are you seeking to “win” or are you seeking to understand. Difficult conversations are hard to have but if you’re not willing to face them and get through them the pattern just keeps repeating. For every negative reaction your dog is having they are expressing a need that’s not being met and vice versa. The whole process is simple but it’s definitely not easy.

The puppy stage is the shortest stage of their life. Spend that time teaching them to behave like the adult dog you envision them to be. Chances are they won’t “grow out of it” . They will likely just get better at it. This message is brought to you by Duke, our new day train for the day!

One is a Moose (adoptable through ) and the other has a screw loose. We kept that one 😂 Can you guess who is who? 😝

If you’re currently trying to work through something with your dog, remind yourself it’s not about 100% completion it’s about undivided attention. This message is brought o you by Olive ( adoptable shepherd mix through ) and Starling ( adoptable through

Random thoughts:
- avoidance speaks just as loudly as growling
- not all “downs” are the same
- you can determine how many people you should let pet your dog during a walk by how determining how many people you will let pet you 😂
- advocate for your dog by simply saying “no”

Thank you, Ban, for always showing up for your dog and being open to adjusting a few things. 🙏🏾

A dog shouldn’t have to misbehave to receive structure and boundaries. And if they’re not learning those things in their own home why are we correcting them for not knowing what to do outside of it. With that being said, everyone meet Starling. She has spent time with our friends so we got some good info about her from them! We are going to help fill out her dating profile and help find her forever home! She will be looking for her home through . 😎

flew across the country to have us work with her dog only to fly back across the country to go fly across the world for a wedding. The amount of amazing trainers she passed along the way is too many to count white makes it that much more special she chose us. 🙏🏾❤️Thank you, Ruchi!

If you are unable to drain your dog’s energy your dog will find ways to release that energy. Probably in ways you don’t want them to. Every dog has a different level of energy. It’s best to pick a dog whose energy level is just below yours which is something to think about if you are thinking about getting a working dog.

It requires a great amount of discipline to not get caught up in the story of how a dog was dumped in the mountains. But I will focus on how stepped up to give him a place to stay. And to for taking him in and trusting us with him. We have secured a foster who will be working with him while we get him readjusted to this crazy human led world. Everyone welcome, Buddy. We are going to get to know him and fill out his dating profile!

Farrah (lab mix from Outta the Cage) and Tippy ( pittie mix from All For Love Animal Rescue) are ready for their new homes!

Out of these two dogs, one usually gets all the space they need because of he looks and the other one gets no space for the exact time reason. One of these dogs will get asked permission to pet while one just gets touched if they are within arms reach. One of these dogs also gets way more chances to “mess up” than the other. And most people will decide this before ever getting to actually know them. At the end of the day, both of these dogs deserve respect regardless of how you think they will react. People get confused when they seem them walking together. Also, one of these dogs prefers belly rubs while the other prefers circuit training. 😂😂😂 #humblek9

In July of 2023, @blues_babes brought home a 10 week old husky to foster for @istandwithmypack . 7 days later we adopted him. Even though Elvis was retired and settling into his role as couch potato, I wasn’t really looking for a “helper dog” , let alone a husky, but he showed up and he kind of checked all the boxes. At 9 months old he’s helped me out quite a bit. We named him, Maverick. And if you’ve seen Top Gun, he fits his name to a tee. lol I never thought we would have a husky in our family but I will say th

In my opinion the goal should be to create a calm dog as opposed to a “good dog”. It’s hard to make a dog “good” agen they’re all good dogs. 😎 This message is brought to you by adoptable pittie Churro who is looking for his home through All For Love Animal Rescue #humblek9

Your dog isn’t “stubborn” they are just hesitant to trust what you’re asking them to do in the moment. Adoptable Churro has come such a long way on his leash walks. This guy is adoptable through All For Love Animal Rescue !

Bike rides are one of the different activities Churro likes to do! Adoptable Churro is looking for his home through All For Love Animal Rescue !
