So many times during my teaching classes or private lessons I would reference Susan Garrett.

Well, today, she gave me and my book, Clara's Wish, a massive shout-out!

I am overwhelmed with gratitude at her taking the time to do it on a live, no less.

Thank you, Susan, I am honored (and humbled) that you enjoyed it so much!

I know a few young people who were gifted Clara's Joy for Christmas.

This is Isabella who got several gifts including other books but she grabbed Clara's Joy and read it to the end!

Love her focused expression!

Thank you, Marie, for sharing this!

Anyone else have a pic of gifting Clara's Joy...I'd love to see it!

Teaching your dog to walk nicely on leash is crucial to enjoying your dog and including them in your life as much as possible.

The program outlined here is the best in teaching with clarity. Susan Garrett breaks it down for you into manageable steps and it's a steal for what she's asking.

Take a look!

Loose leash walking starts without a leash. I would like you to think for a moment about what kind of an emotional experience it is to take your dog for a le...

The mold sniffing dog did his thing today. He was a handsome yellow Lab named Sergeant.

He alerted around a few windows where the caulking had failed, on the AC unit where we had a leak at one point and the kitchen that we knew about already.

But, he didn't alert on much else...like the furniture! Some medical people say to get rid of everything in your house if you have any mold but if you have a well trained dog telling you the furniture is fine, what a relief!

Happy to say Eva was a good girl when the guy was explaining things to us afterwards.

Tomorrow should be interesting!

We have mold in our house but before getting it taken care of, we are having a mold sniffing dog go through the house and cars to find mold that may be hiding behind walls.

The dog will also go over the furniture as well.

The dog-lover in me is excited but the home owner in me hopes the scope of the issue won't be too big. 😳🫣😬

Eva will observe from afar...

My books made their way to a Farmer's Market in Lebanon, NH!

My cousin, Heidi Bundy, manages the Tomapo Farm that's been in the family since 1769. She graciously ordered copies to add to her offerings of all things maple syrup and granite trivets from the property, among other things.

Thanks for including Clara's Wish and Clara's Joy!

One of the most important things to teach your dog is how to walk nicely on leash. That skill opens up opportunities to include your dog in your activities.

I've tried many different approaches but this one has been the best.

Give this a listen. The program is usually within the larger Recallers program so this is an opportunity to try it on its own.

The Dogs That team are stoked to announce our brand new online program J-Walking is available NOW during our Cyber Event. We welcome anyone who wants to join...

The Crestview Library rocks!

Went to check out another book and took a moment to see if Clara's Joy was on the shelf or checked out.

I didn't see it so I made my way to the front, just browsing along the way and what do I see?

Yep, Clara's Joy on display under New Releases. Thanks guys!

Would there be any interest in author signed copies for Christmas gifts? Let me know!

I got an unexpected and very thoughtful gift from my nephew.

He is really into old typewriters as a hobby. In a letter to him, I just wondered who ended up with my dad's old Olivetti typewriter he had used for decades.

A few days ago I got a letter back. Yes, typed on a typewriter. Well, he said to expect a gift the following day.

The package arrived and I unpacked a fully restored Olivetti typewriter. He said it was a favorite of some famous authors. I know I'm not famous but it'll be fun to use and will remind me of my dad each time. Love the metallic purple!

What a cool gift from a thoughtful guy!

I love getting feedback like this!

Hi Nell
I finished Clara’s Joy this morning and it was such a lovely book again. I read in bed and found it hard to put down but saved the ending to read this morning. At the beginning I was feeling very much like Clara and felt my spirit lifting as I read the book – powerful stuff. Such good advice both about dogs and mental health. Thank you
