All proceeds from this book will go directly to creating comfort dogs in NH! Meet the incredible author Claire Hebert Dow behind it all at the Moultonborough library tonight at 5:30pm to support that mission : ) Saving MAMA

Raised in a traditional Catholic family in the early 1950’s, the author was unprepared for the challenges ahead if she failed to follow in her mother’s footsteps. Absent any support from family or friends, she would take the advice of a stranger and proceed on a path considered ill matched for h...

New Reactive Recovery session starting in March!

Does your dog bark and lunge at other dogs? Are walks stressful? Is your dog out of control on a leash? If your dog has BIG feelings when they see other dogs this is the class for you! Get ready to help your dog make better choices when they see another dog, improve their focus on you, and feel calmer- all with fun games and exercises. We will focus on giving each dog the skills they need to succeed, and put these skills into practice in a safe environment.

First week is for humans only to provide you with all the info you need to get started without worrying about having to manage your dog.

5:30pm Tuesdays March 4th-April 1st Canine Connection, LLC in Laconia with Tess. Sign up here: https://doggonitnh.com/register-and-pay/?product_id=3782

I am incredibly honored and excited to begin this journey! Comfort dogs serve such an important role in our communities and while there are over 30 comfort dogs in the state of NH there is only 2 north of Concord (Go K-9 Miller the Campton Comfort Dog !). I am hoping through the success of Belmont's comfort dog program we can open the doors to many other local communities.
Comfort dogs serve an important role and I feel very strongly that every town deserves this resource. Because of this I will be donating my services for this amazing cause and will continue to do so for any surrounding town that have an interest in this mission.
Comfort dogs assist their departments in times of trauma and crisis. These dogs go above and beyond any regular therapy dog. Often on the scenes of very chaotic calls and stressful events. They offer a sense of calm to victims of crime and can ease the tension of an otherwise dangerous situation. Not only will he serve the people of the community but he will also reduce the stress of our incredible first responders when they return from high stakes calls. A comfort dog's work extends to schools, courthouses, child welfare agencies, crisis response teams, and police departments just to name a few. The training we will provide will exceed therapy dog requirements reflecting the immensely important role he will serve to this community.
In a time where mental health awareness is critical I am very committed to being a part of this exciting journey!

Watch Blue demonstrate some beautiful off leash skill. These sort of skills are so important for safety and really should be required for every off leash dog.

Live with multiple dogs who work well solo, but put them together and no one can focus? Our Multi-dog Madness class is designed to help your dogs work simultaneously as well as wait their turn while training one at a time. The skills covered will include walking two dogs at once, recall with multiple dogs, and more!

One handler per dog is required. No prerequisites. Dogs must be friendly and non reactive towards other dogs and people.
