Merry Christmas! Much love to our clients and their dogs! We love you!

Puppy Oliver's first leash lesson! 🤗🥰 #FosterFail #dogtrainingisfun #traineddogsarehappydogs

Sequoia had a blast on our pack walk today! This is truly a lovely little dog! #adoptdontshop #fosteringsaveslives #fosterdog #adoptable

Liza (our new foster), had a big first day with us! We went out into the yard and she helped me (Kim) with some outside tasks. She stays close and keeps an eye out, but was also brave enough to sniff and explore on her own. Then, she met Sophie, and the three of us took a walk down to the back of the pasture. There was some work being done at my neighbors, and it was noise than usual, but while she was a bit overwhelmed at first, she soon settled. When we got back into the house, Liza did some more exploring and hung out with Sophie while I did some cleaning. Afterwards, she met the rest of the dogs and did great. She let's them know from the beginning that she'd like a little space, and they gave that to her until she felt more comfortable and interacted more. She is an absolute love bug who loves being in your lap! Shown in the video cuddled up with Sarah Lynn on the sofa and enjoyed some scritches. :) This is a very nice dog! She's housebroken, doesn't get into anything, and is respectful in the home. She's gonna make an adopter really happy! I'm planning on doing some foundational training with her tomorrow. Stay tuned!!

Yall, I'm gonna cry!! This is the first time that Cinnamon has allowed me to touch her on her terms. 😭🥰 Nutmeg lets me pet her in the crate, but hasn't offered up willingly seeking out affection...yet :) she will also allow snuggles if I reach into her crate and lift her out, but this interaction with Cinnamon was the first time either one of them saught out affection from me and allowed me the honor of petting. 🤗 I don't want to force anything with these girls. I want that to be on their terms, and I know Nutmeg won't be far behind. Right after this, Cinnamon let me slide her onto my lap, and we snuggled for quite a while. Major step forward!! Stay tuned! #fosterdogs #stopdogabuse #dogrehabilitation #adoptashelterpet

Pack walk in the pasture with my littles...a new Spice Girls first! This is an important part of rehabilitation because it helps build their trust in me and solidifies the following of me, and my calm, happy dogs. This is extra important in cases like this, where the dogs won't allow you to touch them yet, or take food from you. In addition, this excercise, which we allow plenty of sniff time, gives the dogs the opportunity to burn off anxious energy and replace with good endorphins and dopamine. A cool side story...Remi, the black and tan dog, was almost as scared from unspeakable, former abuse when he came here.. So awesome to see rehabbed dogs helping other dogs! More to come! Stay tuned Cooper's Companions #dogtrainingisfun #dogrehabilitation #adoptashelterpet

Another first for Cinnamon! She came out of her crate on her own! Sophie wants to play with the girls in the worst way, and keeps bringing them toys. I told her she just needs to be patient. We all do. :) *Nutmeg was still in the back of their crate. Im sure once she sees her sissy having fun, shell start coming out, too. #adoptashelterpet #spayandneuteryourpets #stopdogabuse #dogtraining101 #fosterdogs #dogtrainingisfun #dogrehabilitation

"Spice Girls" update: When Cinnamon and Nutmeg came here the first evening, we allowed them to decompress and just be left alone in their crate. The following day was the same, except we spent sometime outside with them, showing them the backyard and letting them try to just 'be dogs.' They really wanted nothing of it, as it was a bit gusty and the wind terrified them. Yesterday, they followed me for the first time, and seemed interested in where I was and what I was doing. They also started using their noses and sniffing around the yard. They started to approach me, looking for connection---a huge step in the right direction! They still won't come out of their crate on their own, but once they do, I am seeing some positive body language, even some play in Cinnamon! Nutmeg is still reserved and not sure yet, but I am confident she will come around in time. We are overhauling our garage to make a safe, quiet place to train the girls. :-) The video posted was a short clip of them following me yesterday. More to come!! #rescuedog #dogrehabilitation #fosterdogs #trainingiseverything
