Is it too late to start training?

Ever catch yourself thinking "Is this just who they are"?

Your friend's dog walks perfectly. Your neighbor's pup never barks. Meanwhile, your dog... is your dog.

Must be the breed.

Must be their personality.

Must be because they're a rescue.

Must be you're just not meant to have an "easy" dog.

So why even try?

But dogs surprise me every single day. The "impossible" ones often make the biggest transformations. Not because they suddenly become different dogs, but because someone finally sees who they really are.

That pulling? Might be excitement that's never been channeled.

That barking? Could be communication no one's understood.

That "stubbornness"? Often confusion dressed up as defiance.

Your "difficult" dog isn't broken. They're speaking a language no one's translated yet. And when someone finally does? Magic happens.

I've seen too many "lost causes" become incredible companions to believe in limits anymore.

Your dog's potential is waiting. Comment "POSSIBLE" if you're ready to be surprised.

Faith did her therapy work at Clinton Healthcare and Golden Valley Memorial Hospital today! So proud of her! We visited about 15 different people! She was wore out by the time we were done. Everyone just loves her. She brings smiles and even tears of joy to people’s eyes. She is such a blessing!

Check out her new vest and “Pet Me” patches!

Fitting training into minutes every day

"Training would take hours every day. I barely have time to shower!"

What if I told you the best training happens in the “in-between” moments?

While your coffee brews - 30 seconds

Waiting for your dog's dinner to defrost - 1 minute

Commercial break - 2 minutes

Before opening the door for walks - 10 seconds

We're talking about moments you're already spending with your dog. The difference? Making them count.

One client recently said: "I thought I needed to set aside an hour daily. Turns out, I was already training - just reinforcing the wrong things!"

Those 'formal' training sessions you're imagining? Not necessary. Real life IS the training session. Every interaction either builds the relationship you want or... doesn't.

The time excuse keeps you stuck with problems that actually waste MORE time. How many minutes do you spend cleaning up after a bored dog? Apologizing for jumping? Managing chaos?

Training isn't another task for your to-do list. It's a shift in how you use time you're already spending.

"MINUTES" if you want to see how training fits into your real life.

💔It breaks our heart to report that we are so full we are unable to take in or help anymore DOGS OR CATS at this time unless they are brought in by the Clinton Police Department.💔

We don't have not a single spot open. We are getting calls every day from people trying to find places for dogs/puppies, cats/kittens. Also, we don't have enough staff and volunteers to help care for what we have let alone funds to operate.

💔If you are interested in fostering to help make space in our shelter please email- [email protected]
💔If you have an hour a week or any time at all to volunteer please email- [email protected] (must be 17 years old or older to volunteer with the dogs without an adult)
💔Thinking about adopting- see our pups on Petfinder- https://www.petfinder.com/member/us/mo/clinton/clinton-animal-shelter-mo294/ Then call 660-885-7999 or stop by the shelter.
💔 Looking to adopt a cat or kitten call 660-885-7999 or stop by during business hours to visit the cat room.
💔If you would like to make a donation, you can do so online via PayPal, or by bringing cash or check to the shelter during business hours. https://www.paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/1642472

I put up a new shade cover over the dog run! I swear it’s 10 degrees cooler under it!

Last time I had a tarp and it filled with water and ripped. So I learned from my mistakes and went with a shade mesh fabric. The rain should come right through it but still provide the much needed shade for the doggies.

It's getting hot out there ☀️ Do you know what temperature is *too hot* for your dogs?
