Happy One Year Glimmer Dog-iversary to Archie and Cali and their family! What a ride it's been. I'm so proud of all you've learned and the big lives you lead as part of the Glimmer Dog family. Here's to many more years of fun and friends!

You know they're really friends when they're comfortable enough to squish in this close to ALL fit up there!

Eva, living her best life.

My favorite way to end the work week, hiking with amazing people and dogs. I have the best clients and pup nanny and I appreciate them so much!

Proofing our hiking skills today. "Over" = move off to the side of the trail. We're working on an auto down following the over cue but right now still cueing "down" and "wait." I'm looking for holding the behavior. Total rock star🤩 is with total calmness while I do weird stuff passing by. Still 😀 is neutral feelings. How do you think they're doing?

Things that make me happy part 2. I love Fitz so much! Sound on.

Things that make me happy. Do you have ? about the 💩? I am VERY happy about solid p**p out of a dog that has rarely had a solid poo in his life. The Glimmer Dog Program focuses on the whole dog and happy dogs and solid behavior starts on the inside. GI health matters, nutrition matters, we look at it all. Glimmer Dogs are happy dogs that succeed in life with their families. It takes time and it takes digging into all areas of both the human and dogs' lives.

We've started a thing on Thursday mornings -- all the Glimmer Dogs and their parents who are ready gather for a hike. It's my new most favoritest thing. Yes, that's a word - look it up.😂❤

Full Day Forrest School Fun! Thanks to our wonderful pool hosts, Cali and Archie (and their parents). We had a blast at Forrest School in the morning, had a nice nap to recharge, and headed to the pool for the afternoon. What a day!

The newest Glimmer Dogs are really coming along! Getting their needs met outside of Forrest School time makes all the difference and they're able to really progress in their skills. Just got back from a hike with Odin and his dad and he's about ready to come off his drag line! I mostly took nosework videos but we did so much more. Great job pups (and parents)!

I'm so happy to celebrate what this fun win at nosework class at Tails U Win in CT represents for Mary and Eva. Eva was my first really, really challenging personal dog and the inspiration behind the Glimmer Dog Program. Her new family, Mary and Barry, have worked so hard to give her the life she was meant to live in a single dog home. She has many other challenges besides living with other dogs and nosework class has been part of the team and relationship building process. So proud of this team!

These dogs have been with Glimmer Dog for a while. They are having their needs met regularly, both through Forrest School and by their parents on the other days. They've learned a lot of skills. Now they can get out into the world in a bigger way and learn to be confident in places that might not be the most natural to them. But for dogs that love to be with us and check things out, being able to accompany us during our day to day life can be really enjoyable and enriching for both us and our pups. If you think this is never something your dog could do, maybe it doesn't have to just be an impossible dream anymore. . .

I love starting my weekend with a peaceful hike before the trails get crowded. This Saturday, I got my niece (dog) for some extra time with her parents ran some errands so she helped me pick up our CSA veggies at the fabulous Small Farm. Then we checked out a new (to us) trail recommended by a client. It's great! We also got Coco's Baskerville muzzle heat fit to her. It was a little narrow and now it's super comfy. I want all my Glimmer Dogs to be super comfy wearing a muzzle (aka treat basket). You never know when they might need it (we can't predict a veterinary emergency). Dogs that already know how to wear a muzzle have one less thing to be stressed about if something ouchy and unexpected happens. Dog training for your real life means we actually train for those real life situations that come up -- sometimes often, sometimes rarely.

For some reason, many people think of days like today as "bad weather" and avoid going outside. Dogs have an innate need to spend time outdoors, moving their bodies freely. I personally think humans have that same need. To be blunt, if we let go of this bad weather attitude, put on clothes that keep us comfortable, and just go out and have a good time, even the little dogs will embrace the experience and everyone's mental and physical health and behavior will be better. I'm not saying you can never miss a day of meeting your dog's (and your) needs for movement and nature therapy. I AM saying that there are very few weather conditions that constitute an excuse. My caring about dogs welfare side wishes more people agreed with me. My loving of solitude side is glad few do. We had the trail to ourselves today.

Glimmer Dogs, a great group!

Feels weird to be here for a ski race and there's no snow on the ground. Ski hill is reportedly good to go and if the forecast is correct, we're going to see some white tomorrow! Pups are excited to hike and play.

Yes, the dogs get to play at Forrest School but this style isn't for everyone. Without my guidance this would turn into a lot of unproductive chaos that would not foster the kind of relationships and behavior that is helpful for dogs. It IS very helpful for herding dogs (there are 4 plus one toy breed at my feet while shooting this) to remain calm and uninvolved while the chaos they would very much like to take control of is going on. Their ability has taken a lot of time to build. They are now at the point that they offer it. I will ALWAYS reinforce this with food. What does this translate to in the real world? A dog that can remain calm and neutral about triggers in their environment.
