Echo had his first socialization outing to our local (and very dog friendly) nursery, and did great. He got to see a lot of Halloween decorations, go through a maze with random weird objects, and he was a hit with the staff. He also learned how to go up and down the car ramp.

Note that this took about 20 minutes and included some time where I just sat with him in a quiet spot and rewarded him for relaxing. Socialization doesn't need to (and shouldn't) be something you spend a long time doing at any one time. As you can see from the last photo, it's mentally taxing even when done in a way that isn't overwhelming.

Meet Nova! Nova and her mom came to us through and are working with us on her anxiety and dog/people reactivity.

Today was our first in person and while she was worried, after some time to acclimate she learned 2 new skills and enjoyed playing some tug with her mom. We're looking forward to continuing to work with them!

Our first Happy Ratters Trial was a success, not just because... ribbons, but because she was a rockstar navigating all of the energetic, vocal dogs, both in the car and while waiting her turn.

At (just turned) 14, she continues to tackle new things and make me so proud. 💓

We've been slacking on the Dash posts, which is a darn shame because she is so stinking cute. So here's a photo dump of some of our favorite shots of her. Can you tell this girl has personality? 😁 She leaves tomorrow and after nearly a full month together, we are really going to miss her!

Well this one has a great day. She got to join me for brunch at a friend's. Said friend happens to have her new bestie, Kyber. They played and played, interspersed with meeting and greeting the people, and appropriate rest breaks. Absolutely lovely to watch.
