This is Marley! She is a beautiful Heeler and English Shepherd mix! 🥰🐾

Love how she matches my rug!! Lol 😂

She stayed with me over 3 1/2 weeks for Board and Train boot camp.

She did so well!! So smart!!

She came to me at 6 months old high energy girl. She was a wild child with no manners and not totally housebroken. :(

We worked on obedience training, recall, nail trim, and potty training! Found out she had a severe bladder infection. Glad I can use my RVT training to help rule out medical issues. She is feeling better. Just needed to show her the correct behaviors and reward with positive reinforcement!

Owners report she has calmed down and is listening better!! They are able to take her more places. So happy for her and family. 🥰🐾🙏

I will admit, missing this crazy girl!! 🥰

I have a an opening coming up if interested in getting you and your furbaby on the same page! It's easier and more fun than you think!!

What are you doing with your dog today?

Such an adorable wild thing!! Lol 🥰🐾

Marley and Me are on our way to the vet this morning.🙏🐾

Marley came to me for board and train after the owners mother sought out me from past training her current dog. 🥰

I heard Marley's issues with behavior. I had a hunch she may have some health issues.

Being a Holistic Registered Veterinary Technician helps me rule out medical issues that could be causing behavior issues!!

I discovered Marley had an inverted/ hooded v***a yesterday which definitely helped my hunch of bladder issues!! Which causes her to have urinary accidents. She was also polydipsia and polyuria. If your 6 month old Puppy is still not able to hold it, especially in a crate. Please rule out bladder infection!!

She has probably had this since a baby unbeknownst to her owner. She is now on the right meds and supplements. She is already starting to feel better!!

We used the time at vet to also get her used to exam table and obedience inside a vet clinic.

It's more common than you think, young puppies getting bladder infection early on. Don't hesitate to get them checked out. It could make house breaking easier.

Aspen is having the best time watching this adorable Golden Retriever puppy!!🥰🐾

This is our second Golden puppy that has boarded with us.

Aspen loves play time with him. Aspen is also showing him the water and how playing in the pond is so much fun!!

These owners are hoping for a future dock diver. I think they found one!! 🥰🐾💦

Does your dog love water? Has your dog ever been swimming?

Here's a good video discussing why ignoring bad behavior works.

Ignoring it if you can or redirecting behavior.

Ok, I know I should post more about my adventures with my new clients but I am so into conversations and helping their furbaby that I forget until I get home!! :(

This time I remembered and I got a picture of sweet Ruby!!🥰🐴

Her owner called me for help with her overwhelming fear of anything new and noise phobias. :(

She is a sweetheart but just not trusting and phobic about most things. :(

Her earlier years were not great. She was found on the streets as a stray in Georgia. She was pregnant and had heartworm.

She is stressed really easily. From what I gathered from her history and her reactions to new people, noises and situations makes me believe she was raised in a very isolated place with 1 or 2 people but many dogs. She had no socialization with people and outside activities and noises. :(

The sweet owner had DNA testing to find out what she was and boy did it help to know!! The biggest majority is Stafford Terrier but she is also boxer, bulldog, wiredhair dachshund, husky, Mexican street dog and some others that I can't remember!! So unique!!

As a puppy grows and matures, they have a small window from time their born to 16 weeks old, they need to be exposed to everything they might come in contact in their life. Socialization is a critical time for these young pups. I believe it's more critical than vaccines!! Sadly, Dogs die more from behavioral issues than contagious diseases. :(

So sad she did get that socialization and is scared of everything. :(

I've also learned that the gut health has a lot to do with brain health. So making sure to work on gut health and good food and supplements are key as well!!

So with positive reinforcement and changing food and adding on calming herbs and supplements will help this girl deal with her scary environment better. Not saying she will be a social butterfly but we can decrease her stress and help her tolerate it so much better!!

Do you have a Scaredy cat‽ Do you have a dog that needs help with confidence? Give me a call or share this with someone you know!!

They are called "Maligators" for a reason.

These dogs need lots of training and are very high drive.

As they are beautiful dogs, they aren't meant for everyone.

We are as excited as the next dog lover for Channing Tatum’s new movie ‘Dog,’ but we hope the film does not spark a breed craze like many other dog-related films have done in the past.

Belgian Malinois are a very special breed of dog, and they are not meant for the casual dog owner. They are extremely intelligent and thrive as working dogs.

Malinois are commonly seen in search and rescue teams, police K-9 units, bomb squads, and military-based careers. They require a constant combination of stimulation, physical activity, and socialization. Failure to so will result in Malinois becoming challenging to handle on a much more dramatic scale than most other breeds.

As a result of lack of training, many owners will eventually rehome or surrender their Malinois. While some Malinois are lucky to be fostered as part of a police, military or private security or service dog training program— many go unwanted, end up in a shelter, and eventually euthanized. This is why making the wrong choice of breed for your family could be a deadly and devastating decision.

Malinois are incredible dogs and contribute so much to humankind, and we must protect them in return. To prevent such an outcome, it’s important to stay educated about dog breeds and to understand what you’re looking for in a pet.

If you are still pretty dead set on the breed, reach out to a breed-specific Belgian Malinois rescue. Offer to foster and see if the breed is a match for you. You will be helping a rescue dog while also preventing yourself from a commitment you’re not prepared for.

If you are unsure of which dog or dog breed would be best for your living situation, please reach out and ask our rescue. We are here to help.
