Jemma!! This sweet girl is always smiling and would hunt all day, although she does take breaks to roll in the grass. She is always super snuggly and was a big help in getting her big sister, Birdie, to feel more comfortable while their family was gone. I love her smile!!❤️

It doesn't matter how big you are, sometimes you just miss you momma🐾
Birdie started my stay with her pouting a little bit but quickly learned I wasn't so bad. I took it slow, allowed her to eat and do a sniff mat in her safe space (her mom's closet), put her bed in there so she felt cozy and loved on her when she asked for it. It was not long before she was backing up for butt scratches, doing the sniff mat with her sweet sister Jemma (I'll highlight that sweet one in a different post), and relaxing with me on the
sofa❤️.

Give them space, respect their emotions and the relationship will come. Until next time sweet girl!!!

It's that time of year! We take the pets in our care very seriously and do everything we can to ensure their safety. Walks and outside play may be cut short due to heat, but then they get lots of love, play puzzles/ games and enjoy time safely indoors. If it's cool in the shade, we sometimes play games outside, or just sit and watch/sniff the world.

Congratulations to the latest graduates of Manners class!🐾🎓
Axel, Rowan, Nugget, Jetta and Ellie did great and their humans also learned a lot. Hope to see them in my Teens class!

We got to spend some time with sweet Panda again!! Her soulful eyes and butterfly kisses could really melt your heart. She enjoyed walks, puzzles and getting tons of love. Can't wait to see her again!❤️🐾

Happy National Rescue Dog Day!🐾
We were so fortunate to spend part of our day with these beautiful rescues pups! Each is unique and has a history that we may not know much about BUT each has a wonderful home and loving family now. We have a lot of rescue pups in the Nature Dogz family. Thank you to everyone who opens their heart, and home, to give them a chance to know love. One thing I know is that the love they give back is one of the most special things in the world.

Sparty and his sisters!! Sparty is a recent rescue and I've been training him with his family. We got to care for them over the weekend and they were very, very good. Little sister Luna was scared at first but after a day of doing puzzles, giving her space and being patient, she decided we weren't that bad. She even enjoyed rolling in the grass on our walks. Pepper was just happy to play and get walks too.
Welcome to the family sweet pups!❤️🐾

Welcome these two cuties to the family!! Goku and Appa are bundles of energy! They played ball, snuggled and I got lots of kisses from Appa. We had a lot of fun.

05/04/2024

I met Gus when his parents reached out for training and now we also get to provide care when needed.
He's growing into such a good boy. Austin recently got to care for him for a week and Gus was perfect. It was his first time being left at home for so long and he did great!!

Meet the youngest Nature Dogz family members!!
We got to welcome 6 little chicks and had fun caring for them, the sweet chickens and Sadie, Prissy and Bella. Can't wait to see them again!
🐣🐔🐐

A warm welcome to this little cutie! Little Sadie often goes with her people but she couldn't go this time, so we got to care for her. She did great and got lots of snuggles and love. Welcome to the Nature Dogz family little one!!❤️🐾

04/26/2024

These beautiful girls!! Sweet Birdie took a little bit to warm up, but finally decided to really check me out. Jemma is always a snuggle bug and has the best smiles. Can't wait to see them again in a couple of weeks!!

Congratulations to my recent graduates of Manners at Delightful Dog.
Henry, Fripp, Jax and Wilson!!! They all did great (and their humans did too)
Little Henry and Licorice also graduated, but had to miss graduation day.

Paco and his goat friends!! It was great to see all of them❤️. Paco enjoys his carrots while getting an ear scratch and the goats LOVE cereal treats.

04/24/2024

Finally catching up on pictures from Spring Break!!
It's been a crazy few weeks and we are so grateful for the trust that our clients have in us❤️

Meet Mischief! Look at those eyes!
This was his first time staying alone and he did great!! I met him months ago and he was a little nervous, but he slowly began to trust me. We are best buddies now and we had a great time while his family traveled.

I've watched Micki and Maui quite a few times and Maui usually says a quick hi, then hides under the bed. I brought a new toy with me, expecting that Micki would be interested. Much to my surprise, Maui came to investigate and played with it!❤️Micki watched his sister have fun.

I love to build trust through patience, novel experiences, and love (when they are ready).

A perfect pack of rescued pups!!
I got to stay with Rosie, Charlie, Olive and Felix last week and we had so much fun together. Felix loved playing with his rope and getting love while Rosie, Olive and Charlie played ball.

Watching them all sleep in the bed, snuggled comfortably, made my heart so happy. I'm not sure what their life was like before being rescued, but they are all loved, spoiled and adored by their wonderful humans now❤️

Austin usually sees Buzz a couple days a week, but recently got to do more drop in visits. This handsome boy LOVES to play frisbee❤️!!

03/05/2024

I just finished hanging out with this little one for 9 days while her humans got married. It took about 4 months, but little Tellie became comfortable with me and we had a great time while her people were away.
Tellie's first few visits were me sitting on the floor, talking to the room, while she stayed under the sofa. She decided when to come out, when to approach, etc.

Have a nervous pet? Plan ahead. I understand that sometimes it takes time to build trust and I always let the pet guide the pace of our relationship.
Contact me if you'd like to design a plan to help your pet.

We got to see Ms.Bella, Azzy, Oreo,Jeff, and the fish again! Bella supervises while we care for the others, and really enjoys her walks. Azzy says hi from a distance and the boys often poke their heads out to see us.
It's always great to see them!

A warm welcome to Indy, Molly and Tink! I had fun doing drop in visits for them. Indy has a wonderful smile, Molly took a minute to warm up but became my friend, and Tink always made sure to say hello.
Until next time sweet ones!!

My most recent graduates from the Teens group class that I taught at Delightful Dog.
They did great and I enjoyed having each of them in my class❤️🐾
Congratulations to Cowboy, Juno, Jinx and Delilah!

These two cuties have had a tough month. Oso and Rosie lost their canine sister in early January and their human mom is in the hospital. I'm glad I can provide a little bit of normalcy for them each day. Praying that their mom gets well soon.

In these chilly temps we are taking care to keep your pets safe. Here is information to help you keep your babies safe as well.

Cold Weather Guidance for Your Dog:

Austin got to spend a few days with Lenny and his feline sisters. Sophie and Sam were born to feral cats and Lenny's mom cared for the family outside. She found homes for the mom, adopted out 3 kitties and decided Sophie and Sam would become part of the family. They've settled in nicely, and Lenny is learning to be a good brother.

When the weather outside is bad, we make sure the dogs exercise their brains. Mental enrichment is so important. Meals from licki mats and sniff mats, puzzles, Find It games, training and there is so much more!
There's so many ways to provide mental enrichment.

These two pittie brothers❤️🐾!
I hadn't seen Luc and Benny for awhile but got to spend 11 days hanging out with them. They play hard, enjoy belly rubs and give the best kisses.

Congratulations to this beautuful 5 month old! Sweet Violet graduated from basic manners training and is now working on learning about the world, experiencing new things and meeting new people without jumping on them. She did great on our trip to Pike Nursery yesterday!
