Finn is grateful for all of the balls you people keep hiding for him to find on his walks and carry all the way home. Cooper is wondering if you have any food on you? If you don’t what are we even doing here?

Have a safety plan for your dog over Thanksgiving. I share some tips on how to keep your dog safe during this week and please know it it is a weeklong event not just Thursday. Dogs need plenty of downtime, plenty of chewing time, plenty of routine time and so do you. Have a peaceful wonderful Thanksgiving and we’ll see you in December.

💯 truth!!

Not talking about tools used on a dog, which cause pain and is the same as torture is to me like the horrible “kitty story" from 1964.
The murder of Kitty Genovese in New York City, a case that became famous for the belief that many witnesses heard her screams but did not intervene.
How can we be quiet when dogs have to live their lives in such a way?
How can we not try to educate and make people aware?
I always talk about tools. I always have to talk about how horrible they are.
I believe with all of my heart that this education saves the lives of dogs.
❤️‍🩹🐾
I have testified in court over this and have seen tooo many dogs pay the price when in their mind, after being shocked or pronged for barking or lunging at another, their mind tells them to save themself from this horror. They (the trigger ) cause me pain. I need to get them before they get me. I was right to be afraid!
