Love Train Repeat

01/11/2024

Throwback to 12 years ago. These pictures are the first pictures I saw of Sharpie on website.I had no intentions of adopting a dog then, nor would my living situation allow me to adopt a dog at the time...BUT it was a love at first sight and I knew I need him and he needed me. My boyfriend then (my husband now) was always a cat person and never had a dog in his entire life, plus our SF rental apartment was not dog friendly, so what do? I say: "I'm going to get this dog no matter what, and we are moving... you can join us if you'd like." So here we are, celebrating 12 wonderful years with this Teddy Bear. This dog had taught me a lot, and I became a dog trainer because of him. Sharpie was adopted and returned several times (because of his dog reactivity/aggression) before we adopted him. So, I had to learn a tremendous amount of dog behavior information/training techniques/management methods to keep him and other dogs safe around us. Nevertheless, I never regretted my decision to adopt him even once. He made me a better person and gave me an opportunity to do what I love the most.

Between baby feeding times, diaper changes, and playing with my first grader, I'm excited to finally have some time (well on some days 🤪) to work on my certification.

I haven't been posting here for a while. Let's just say I've been extra tired and extra busy growing a little human🙃. Meant to post this announcement a while ago but just getting to it now eventhough the baby is already here 😊🎀💝
I am on maternity leave now and will not be taking any clients for several months. If you are a positive reinforcement, force free trainer who uses only humane, evidence-based training methods and cover SF East Bay, please PM me your contact information (including your website) and I'd be happy to share it with my existing and new prospective clients.

Lulu and Josie are a bonded pair of Kittens that were rescued from a large property in Vacaville. The owner of the land found out that cats were being dumped on his property and he was concerned as he began seeing litters of kittens being born. He contacted the police and they suggested shooting them. He was taken back by this response and wanted to try and trap them and get them to a rescue. That's when we came in. We took in 2 kittens and 1 black momma cat. They were all feral but we were determined to try and socialize and tame them. The black momma cat didn’t appear to be interested in the kittens so we assumed she may not be the kittens mother. She was accepted in a sanctuary after she was spayed and vaccinated.

Lulu and Josie both have been spayed, all immunizations are up-to-date including rabies. They are friendliest and so lovable. Here’s a little about them.

Things they both love:
Playing with wand toys
Small balls
Small mouse toys
Being stroked and petted. They both purr almost instantly.
They love tuna and salmon treats
They both get along great with other cats, chickens and are very curious about dogs.They have been exposed to dogs barking and chickens.

What they eat:
Dry Kibble:
Instinct-the raw brand, original. Grain-free recipe with real salmon
Canned food:
Premium fussy cat-tuna formula
Natural balance-tuna and shrimp formula

Lulu:Tabby
She is initially shy but warms up very quickly if you give her a treat or play with one of her wand toys. She’s very curious and loves her neck and head rubbed. She loves being held and purrs very easily.

Josie: Tortoiseshell
She loves to have her head and neck scratched. This makes her purr. She’s very comfortable being held.

They both got their last distemper vaccine on 10/16/21.

Adoption fee is required. Please inquire to [email protected] if interested.

Sky finished her puppy basics obedience program with flying colours! She did so amazing today with lots of distractions present.
Great job Sky and her guardians 👏

Had a great session with this handsome boy today! Atlas is a big strong pup and his mom is doing awesome in redirecting him into appropriate behaviors when he gets overly excited about various stimuli in different environments. Way to go Atlas team! 🐾

Hi furiends! Guess what I graduated! I wanted to come on here and share my training experience with since a couple of you were asking!
Olga was my trainer and she was wonderful. Tbh I think she trained mom and dad more than me because they didn’t know anything 🙄. She was so nice, she always brought the best treatos, and always made my day. She taught me things like: sit, down, come, wait, stay, touch (which is my families favorite, more cause I’m cute 🥰), look, place, and much more! I also learned how to do loose leash walking which is very helpful especially living in SF (lots of distractions). I’m just about to head into my teenage months (maybe years) and I have a great foundation. Thanks Olga, mom and dad are so happy with me so I get A LOT of treatos! 🥰🥰🐾

Can you please share and help us to find a perfect match for this handsome young fellow, Bolt?!🐾

Please go to website to read his full bio.

Bringing a deaf dog into your life may seem like a challenge, but it’s mostly just a matter of getting used to relying on other ways to communicate without sound. We use verbal language with our dogs almost exclusively and it can get a little wordy and unclear sometimes. Communicating with a deaf dog keeps your signals more concise and clear and more consistent. Bolt is so eager to learn and understand what you want that his enthusiasm is contagious. Learning new things is his favorite game and will soon become yours, too. Additional benefits of having a deaf dog include no distractions or drama from barking dogs, postal carriers and delivery trucks, thunder, fireworks, fire and ambulance sirens, doorbells, vacuums, howling cats and so much more.
