My baby girl, who turned 10 on 12/5 had a few fatty tissues removed and after 2 days of the old plastic Elizabethan collar provided by the vet, she is finally free again. Kicking myself for being ill prepared and not having the better option ready for her immediately after surgery. Maybe you can learn from my mistakes if your pup is scheduled for surgery. You can 1000% see the difference in her demeanor from day 1, day 2 and day 3. Watermelon kisses anyone? 🍉🐾💜😂🐾🍉💜 Happy Dog, Happy Mom. 🥰🐾🥰🐾

It's that time of year again when we see this post floating around, telling people to take your old bacon fat and mix it with oats and put it out for bird feed. This concept for a home-made suett cake is completely incorrect, taken totally out of context. The cured salted cooked fat from a factory farmed animal is not the right nutrition for songbirds. There's a reason you don't see songbirds feeding on the dead bodies of roadkill daily trying to get to their fat. The oils and fats that birds eat in winter to help them sustain their energy levels come from healthier natural sources like trees, nuts, and seeds, not cooked animal fat. This is not suitable for songbirds or any birds at all. If you want to make bird Suett, use a nut butter like peanut or almond butter, and mix that with oats, seeds, peanuts, and other healthy things. Even the beef fat used in store bought suett cakes have little nutritional value to the birds, they can't proces fat, its just the vessel that holds all the other ingredients together. You can also just set out a plate of sunflower seeds, dry mealworms, and some fruit, and you feed the birds a thousand times better and healthier than what this post suggests or any other suett cake.

✨ Training Tip Tuesday💪 ✨ Use patterns in your everyday life to speed your training process. In this example, Sara is storing her dog's clippers in with their food. At dinner time the clippers come out, so now nail clippers predict food! Her dogs get excited when they see the clippers instead of running away! This simple ritual has normalized the clippers and taught them to anticipate them! You can substitute the clippers with other things your dog finds unpleasant: ear cleaner, eye drops, clothing, etc. Store the item within reach of your dog's food, present the noxious stimuli first, then prepare and/or present their meal.
What are some other patterns you could set up in your routine?

Critical Capacity met! We are COMPLETELY stuffed and the dogs are begging for a taste of a warm home🐾
Lainey here and her pals would LOVE a break from the shelter this Thanksgiving... or even to find their forever home! No dog deserves to spend the holidays in a kennel.❤️
How can you help?
🦃FOSTER: we would love to help find the perfect temporary furry friend for you. Please fill out this application (link in comments), stop in to the shelter, or email [email protected] to foster!
🦃ADOPT: come adopt a turkey from our adoption floor for $1/lb (up to 50lbs)! That's right, a great deal for your new best friend - the kind that bark and have 4 legs! We are open 12p-5p, 7 days a week! *some exclusions apply, promotion through 11/24*
Don't let there be more turkeys than dogs in homes this Thanksgiving!

The dogs at Berkeley Animal Center have an opportunity for you! They are looking for humans to walk!
Humans can come to the shelter daily starting as early as 9am & will receive their own personal walking partner(s)! 🐕🚶
We recommend wearing closed toe shoes - and maybe bringing a friend or two who would also benefit from this wonderful offer!

My baby girl rocking her Wait to get to her BarkBox. She’s like a bull in a China Shop... ALL THE TIME. She gives everything 110%!! 💜🐾💜🐾💜🐾💜🐾
Recall practice with lots of walkers still passing by. A little counter conditioning using positive reinforcement to help decrease the over stimulation of the pups too.
ROLLING ON THE FLOOR!!!
Name recognition and a bomb proof recall come in handy in every day life but especially when one can still fit under the fence. (Note: it’s not a bomp proof recall yet, but teaching it now with high value reinforcers is what will get us there) #TheLearningCanine #DogTrainingSummerville #ForceFree #LearningCanines #PuppyK
Add to the long list of reasons we love dogs!
While this page is mostly about dogs, we love the Olympic games..... oh and most definitely cats too!!!
Did y'all enjoy your weekend as much as these two did?!!! We hope so!! This is our version of a gif until we figure out how to make one!
Getting a couple of more reps of practice in while working with my Canine Niece. Just introduced this last night. Practice sessions should be short and fun, and end on a good note. 8, 2 minute sessions work far better than 1 long session. Notice she does much better with the hand signal. Dogs communicate via body language so they learn our body cues much quicker than our verbal cues. We should do everything we can to help them learn, and love learning. And while many would consider this a "trick", we should consider sit, down, come, etc. a trick too. We're prone to have more fun when mentally thinking of it as fun rather than a chore.
We practice Wait before every meal. Not to show my dogs I'm dominant or alpha but an easy way to work training and practicing into every day life. Wait can be a life saving cue for your dog. I also use Wait before they exit the vehicle. Meals and exiting the vehicle are huge rewards to positively reinforce your dogs with. Keep in mind, all dogs choose their high value rewards, not you.
Dual Digging.
We're safe at the TLC house. Can't say we're staying dry but we're Havin' Fun. Paws crossed for those in the area not fairing as well as we are with this weather. Stay safe everyone.
Charleston the Springer Spaniel goes on daily walks, eats from interactive feeders, learns and practices new cues daily, plays fetch and tug, but he needed something to satisfy his hunting drive. We introduced the "Find it" game. He's loving it.
Fitting practice into every day life and a busy schedule. We Practice while my potato heats up in the microwave.
More fun with Cooper today. #BlessHisHeart ❤️
Excellent puppy playtime with Molly and Harriet in class tonight. It was towards the end when they were wearing down. Think they're going to sleep good tonight. 😜
Follow up from last night's broth post. Frozen broth boney time!! No, they don't last long but it's a nice treat for them on a hot evening, and a reward for a default Sit/Stay/Focus. ❤️❤️
We've all had a long day but doesn't mean we can't squeeze in one last training session before we geaux deaux deaux. And yes, Baby Girl broke her Stay from the Down, but I was working on the boundary more than holding the position. Especially with me going out of sight. Plus it lets me know what we need to work on.
