Green Paws Boarding and Training

01/14/2025

Hello!!!!

I have been trying to connect more with my training, with my background and generally with my clients and my dogs.

I have noticed over the past few years that I have been pretty withdrawn and just kind of left to my own devices…

So I figured I would make a blog about dog training, my thoughts, dogs, sheep, days, or anything that I feel like writing about.

If you feel like laughing or shaking your head at me - please read the newest blog:

Emma. She’s really come into herself this last month and I am beyond proud of the kind of dog I have 🥰🥰

We are doing baby outruns, she has the most solid recall of all of my dogs, she is super social, and also humongous in size. All of those things and she’s barely barely ten months old in a few days.
Time seriously needs to stop because I cannot afford another puppy 😂😂
Anyways.
She is pretty cool. I like her a lot.

Let’s talk about relationships..
Relationships with our dogs…

Emma has me constantly reaching for the phone camera to capture endearing moments where she just wants to be close to me.
None of my other dogs have been that cuddly or close, so this is completely (almost) new territory for me.

Since we started working on sheep, and we started to actually work TOGETHER, Emma’s need for closeness has only strengthened. She follows and seeks me out constantly. Will bring chewing toys, blankets or just herself within eyesight and be content. I am however tripping over a dog, or so many bones, antlers and blankets, that I am starting to become a little annoyed.
Well that is stupid of me, you might say. And I completely agree, and while I try to find the adorable moments, I am also trying to find a way to establish personal boundaries, so when it becomes too much for me, I can ask her to leave, by asking nicely.

This has worked so far, and Emma has established a routine of self entertainment nearby.
I have felt like our relationship has grown and flourished, and not been inhibited by setting this boundary.

Just adore my girls.
I feel incredibly grateful to have three reliable off leash dogs with me at all times.
Currently Emma is smashing her recall whistle, with Bella following close second and Rylee bringing up the rear very slowly.
It is also MAJOR tick season out there!! So please check yourselves and your dogs after your hikes!!!

It’s not always easy managing a multiple dog household - let alone run a boarding business with rotating dogs all days, with little to no consistency for my girls.

I have been watching Bella over the past few months, and I have seen a remarkable change. Her tolerance has not changed, but the way she corrects now is so much more fair and she has learnt to let things GO. Which is huge.
If you know Bella at all, or had me explain why she has been my biggest headache in my business, then you know that this change is miraculous to me. I am so happy - I am in tears.

So on the timeline it goes, because I want to look back at this and remember what a fantastic girl Bella is and the amount of work she does for me. Every day. Willingly. Love her to pieces.

Errand date day with my main terrier girl.
🐾
Rylee is turning 10 years next month and I am N O T ready. She showed off how perfect she can be. Said hi to all the strangers, stayed with the scary cart, aas appropriate in the check out line and waited patiently at the bank while we had to do some serious business ( )
🐾
Now it’s thundering. So she is hiding somewhere in the house. All the boarding dogs are being soothed with classical music and fans and AC.

Found a new lake that is pretty awesome. Going to try to get there super early tomorrow am.
Also really hoping their friendship continues and grows. Emma tries really hard to win Bella over, who is still playing Miss Reserved.

We were up all night because someone was stress vomiting over being in a new place with dogs she doesn’t like 🙄🙄
I swear she isn’t spoiled. She’s just particular.

I couldn’t critique a thing in this picture.

I mentioned this during my sheepdog demonstration, but Rylee really did go through the biggest of changes three years ago. She went from running around obstacles to being chased by sheep, rolling in sheep manure and pretending to herd sheep.
Life without her either way wouldn’t make much sense, and she’s accepted Emma without a second thought.
She really is all good.

It’s been fun seeing Emma develop and seeing how different she is from Bella 🫶🏻
I also cannot wait for the day to have a hoard of border collies around me - it will be amazing.
