Our board and train can help you get these results. A dog being able to decompress around triggers is an underrated skill. Great job Pepper!

If you are a person who is always afraid to speak out your mind, easily offended by simple things others say or do, very insecure about not being popular - you are going to struggle with serious dog rehabilitation work.

When l hear other people’s criticism, my default reaction is: “Why are you telling me this? Why are you wasting my time?”

Behaviour rehab is not trick training. You need to know that most people out there are wrong. They dont know what they are talking about. They dont have the talent and instinct that you have.

You need to have very strong self conviction and extreme self confidence. You need to deeply believe in yourself. Trust your judgement and keep problem solving. Keep doing what makes sense to you.

If you let fear or doubt overcome you, you will fail. And your dog will not improve.

Stay very strong, if not for yourself, do it for your dog.

-My thought on "saying hi" to a random dog on the street-

This is my thought on "saying hi" to random dogs on the street.

A lot of people with reactive/aggressive dogs will say their dogs are "friendly". Their dogs may even look "friendly" in the first couple seconds - until they suddenly snap.

l never go up to a random dog or let my dog "say hi" to a random dog. All my children know not to do that since they were very young. They will never ask "can l pet your dog?" to a complete stranger.

Leaving someone else's dog alone is showing that dog the respect and love he/she needs. It is showing respect and consideration towards the other owner.

That dog whom we know nothing about could be reactive, anxious, fearful, aggressive or just being too hyper around people - none of those problems will benefit from being approached by a stranger in an uncontrolled setting.

In today's society where we are constantly encountering dogs with behavioural issues, it is our responsibility to keep our dogs safe. It only takes one or two unfortunate incidents to turn an otherwise friendly dog into dog reactive/aggressive.

Our safety and that of our dogs should be our number one priority.

Also, our dogs are not petting zoo animals. They are not public properties. They do not exist solely for the purpose of allowing strangers to touch and hug them anytime someone may feel the urge to do so. Please respect dogs' feelings and need for personal space.

If the public could have a bit more empathy towards other dogs and their owners, and understand that love is about respecting the space and need of what is best for whom we love (not our selfish wants), perhaps we will see less bite incidents, and hopefully, less reactive/aggresive dogs as well.

Thank you.

Blue and Cash are two very sweet boys who are father and son. We were helping their family by providing these dogs with emergency housing. But their family was unable to secure housing to take the dogs back, so they trusted us to find them a new home. This loving pair will be a wonderful addition to their new home. They love people and are usually wearing happy smiles. It has not been easy transitioning to living in a kennel and losing the only family they’ve known. But these two resilient boys have captured our hearts with their resilience. They simply want to live life happy. Our application link is pawsandmorewashington.org/adopt. They are neutered, vaccinated and will be microchipped when they are adopted. We are searching for a short term foster, long term foster or adopter for them. If you can give them a two week shelter break please email us at [email protected]!

Still smiling even on sad days. 🚨 While I got you all here I got some unfortunate news. Pack AMO will be putting Dog Grooming on hold for the time being. We’ve had some unfortunate events happen that’s holding us back from opening grooming right now. I know a lot of you were ready for grooming and so were we. We know a lot of great groomers (mobile and brick and mortar groomers) in this area and we’d love to connect you with. If your looking for a dog grooming please reach out to us. Grooming isn’t cancelled completely. We’re just putting it on hold for now.

Oh Zeusy. Our sweet Zeus has found his forever home. If you’ve been out to the ranch, you know Zeus. Zeus has been at our ranch for 2 years. He’s had a rough shake and is definitely a high maintenance pup. He’s been in close to 8 homes in 7 years of his life. He’s last owners were very dedicated to his well being and loves him greatly but realized he needed more. We decided to take him in and he’s been the boss of the ranch. His Ba is loud, he’s very bossy, he loves chasing the wild life, and he might be the most sensitive dog I’ve ever met. Zeus is loving, sweet, very loyal, and very friendly with all of our daycare dogs. Though we’ll miss him we know we’ll still see. Thank you Abbie, one of our staff members, for taking in our boy and being committed to his training the last few weeks. So happy our Zeus has his forever home❤️🥲

Closing out 2023. I reflect on the year. It was a year of laughs and a year of tears. Glass half full is my motto daily, even when I catch myself thinking about the bad days. This was a year of self reflection, a year of being tried and put through the ringer. 2023 was definitely the hardest year of my life, but I always remind myself that the glass is half full and not half empty.
This business is my life. This business affects my family’s lives. This business has given jobs and careers for some time. This business is my purpose. I’m sure if you own a business you know the feelings.
Thank you everyone who has entrusted us to care for their pup(s). I take great pride in being your pups’ exercise outlet, being your dog’s trainer. It means a lot to be trusted to provide the best care possible for your pups. In 2023, Pack AMO experienced a year of tremendous growth and accomplishment, and none of it would have been possible without the unwavering support of customers like you. Your trust and support have been the driving force behind our achievements, and we are truly grateful for the opportunity to serve you and your pups.
• Our training programs (Board and Train, Day and Train, Refreshers, etc.) have grown from serving 15 dogs in 2021, 35 dogs in 2022 all the way to serving 52 dogs in 2023! We’ve cared for over 700 dogs this year through all services.

I always recognize I can’t run this business alone even if I try. Thank you to my staff for helping run this business. We have some really intricate people in this home and I recognize that. From our dog coaches to our night staff to our receptionists, thank you!

I wish you all a Happy New Year! The last picture on the slide is for the haters 😂
