I am a wife and dog momma to 2. My youngest pup, a little over 4yrs old, has brought me to this purpose. I'm excited to be on this journey!

I believe that by meeting dogs where they are and working in partnership with their guardians, we can foster stronger relationships, deepen understanding, unlock their true potential and create lasting change. When we found out he was a fearful, sensitive pup, I dove all in, taking classes to not only better myself, but understand him more and help him live his best life!

Oh baby boy, where do I even begin? Never in a million years would I have imagined I'd have a dog like you, more like in size than attitude.

Your momma grew up with cats, not dogs. I never really had a "thing" for dogs, they just weren't on my radar. But thanks to Fenway, you entered our lives.

We had no idea what we are in for, an emotional, sensitive boy with BIG feelings. And we vowed, the second we took you home, to protect you and ensure you had a safe and loving home. We had people tell us we weren't worthy, we didn't deserve you, that the rescue never should have let us take you home. What did that JACKA$$ know anyway? NOTHING!!!! As much as he bullied us, we told them that we rescued you and we would do EVERYTHING possible to make sure you lived the BEST life you could live!

And boy have you! When momma took Fen on his bucket list trip I remember looking at you and saying "I'm not sure what that means for you Brut, you have done everything you could possibly “want” to do, what could possibly be left for you to put on a bucket list?" Momma still doesn't know what the answer is, but you continue to live your best life.

I NEVER imagined that our journey would take us to me creating Paws With Me K9 and this brand new program to help others, just like us, with a sensitive pup like you, providing them opportunities to LIVE and have fun!

I'm so grateful for you Brutus, Brutie Tootie Fresh & Fruity, tough guy, handsome, Brut, Brotatoe Chip (as daddy calls you), beefcake... You have taught me more than I ever dreamed of, led me to a place that brings me purpose and lights me up!

Happy 7th birthday handsome! We celebrate you today, what you have brought to our lives and the love, patience and chaos you continue to share. You get more lovey each day and we treasure every moment. We love you so very very much ❤🎉🦴🥓🎂

Another memory from a few years ago that I remember so well!

It's so important to listen/watch for your dogs signals!

Me, I did NOT do that the last time we were out training.

Brutus and I got there early, got used to the new environment with some distractions. Our friends arrived and we started with our usual ritual of just walking around, giving each dog their space.

From there, we moved on to some pattern games. Both dogs were doing GREAT!! I noticed Brutus was slowing down but I kept going. We finished with the games and went back to just walking around.

I should have known that he had had enough. I should have put him in the truck. By him slowing down, he was telling me he had had enough.

He finally hit his threshold and he lost is sh%t and wouldn't stop!
Me, trying to be smart, using a new leash AND a new leash hold, almost broke my thumb!

I was finally able to walk him away and get him in the truck. I felt HORRIBLE! I pushed him too hard. I knew better!

Lesson learned. When dogs have to use their brain for activities, it doesn't take long for them to get tired.

Keep training sessions to a minimum when doing something intense, and by that, it could be physical or mental. Short training sessions are better than longer ones!

This memory popped up for me today from 2021. It’s definitely not a happy memory but one I will share in hopes it helps someone avoid this experience.

If they aren’t interested in your dog’s total wellbeing RUN!!!!!!

I literally have PTSD from a bad trainer 😢🤬

Years ago, we took one of our pups for an eval and it was the WORST experience we have ever had. 2 men bullied not only my husband and I but our dog. They pushed the dog to its limits to see what the reaction would be (thankfully nothing). They told us we weren't capable of having this dog, didn't know why the rescue let us have this dog, but they sure were quick to say they'd take the dog off of our hands for us. We told them this dog was saved, rescued, and we'd do everything in our power to make sure OUR dog had the best life ever. They both laughed in our faces, saying they'd heard that before. I left there in tears, not knowing what really just happened but what to do. It took me atleast a week to get over the experience and finally settle down and think with a clear head.

We continued in our search and ended up with some amazing trainers. I am so grateful to have a pocket full of them to work with and talk out loud too.

When calling to make an appt for an eval, I highly suggest you ask very specific questions about what the eval with your dog will entail (what are they looking for, how will they know ie: what will they do to the dog,...). Sometimes, we learn the hard way and I wouldn't want anyone to have to go through what we did!

That’s a wrap on fall fun! We sure did have a busy fall! Thanks to all that came out and took part in our canine curiosity experiences across the state.

But the fun isn’t over, you know we’ve got more fun scheduled for the holidays! Check us out Monday nights at Canine Connection in Laconia, Tuesday nights at Vital Paws in Franklin and we are scheduled for 12/14 for our monthly pop up at Canine Connection.

Fun time had by all at Basil's Boutique Halloween Party at Canine Connection! There was something there for everyone! Whether the dogs participated in musical "chairs", hold your licker or if they just wanted to step away from the fun for some quiet time, we enjoyed visiting with all the ghosts and goblins this Halloween!
