Help reduce stress for your pets who may not be a fan of all the extra company.

While we try to fill the holiday season with love, joy, and fun, it doesn't always mean it's also stress-free.

Let's set ourselves and our pets up for success this year and minimize unnecessary stress so we can ALL enjoy the end-of-the-year festivities. 🐶🐱

🍂 Utilize Separation
Your pet doesn't need to be involved in everything. Give them breaks or keep them separate if they don't appreciate strangers!

❄ Routine
Maintain their routine as much as possible, especially if traveling. Add additional enrichment activities if you expect you'll be busy.

🍂 Training Opportunities
Take time to practice training/behavior modification! Utilize the extra people to your advantage, but don't overdo it. It's also okay to skip this if your pet will be too stressed.

❄ Ask for help!
Ask your friends and family members who will be around to help with your pet's behavior goals. Set rules and expectations for them ahead of time, and add additional management to avoid mishaps. If you are working on your dog's jumping, or need people to stay out of your pet's "safe room", speak up!

Very cool and opens our eyes even more to the animal world.

Researchers have captured video footage of what they say is possible tool-use by wolves after the animal was seen pulling a crab trap out of deeper waters in...

Celebrating client wins!

Meet Gracie, she came from a “breeding” situation. Not potty trained, scared, and had her puppyhood stolen from her.
We are teaching her that the big scary world is not so scary. Took me 3 sessions to get her to love me. She’s still learning her name, but has mastered sit, her potty training is improving, she just learned watch me and down this week. Given her background she is such a sweet, happy girl and very smart! Her momma is doing an amazing job working with her and they both continue to improve each week!

I see this too often, best to catch it as early as possible!

📣 Hard Truths: Things won't get better if we continue to let them get worse.

When developing plans for training, behavior therapy, and behavioral treatment, management is a fundamental component supporting long-lasting behavior change.

If we cannot successfully implement management, the behaviors we are trying to stop will continue to be rehearsed, and the frequency and intensity will likely increase as well.

If there's ever a part of your pet's plan that you're unsure how to implement, struggling with, or don't know how to progress from there, please be sure to communicate your needs. We are here to support your pet, and that means we need you to feel supported too!
