This is an all too common issue in Grant County. If you have a dog, read this, take notes, and prepare a kit. There is no avoiding the off-leash dog problem here.

Having a loose off-leash dog run at you and your dog can be a scary experience. Learn what to do and how to prepare so you and your dog stay safe.

Giant Schnauzer, Gizelle, works on challenging the 3D's (distance, duration, and distraction) during a game of choose to heel. How close can she get to the moving tractor and still maintain focus and heel position with her owner?

You haven't heard much from us lately because as a whole, the staff and shelter have reached their breaking point. These bouts of parvo have taken their toll. Mentally we are done. Financially, we are in need.
You can't imagine how hard it is to lose pups and dogs over and over that we've cared for. We feel like we just can't get a break.

Due to last winter's parvo out breaks and the one we are having right now, we are financially in dire straights. As of today, with another positive parvo case, we won't be able to do adoptions for another two weeks.

We operate mainly on our income from adoptions and without that, we fear we won't be able to operate very much longer.
It's sad to think of how hard everyone's worked to make this shelter something and now, our days are numbered.

We don't want to close. There are too many animals to that need us and we're asking for help to stay open. If you would like to donate or share this post to help us, we would greatly appreciate it.
We've started a GoFundMe campaign too.

Traffic was loud outside of the shop today and making Pepper a bit nervous. She also needed to learn we don't just hop out of cars all w***y nilly. So, I popped open the hatch, got some treats, and the 2 of us just sat and watched the world go by.

Foster dog, Pepper, works on her proximity and focus with her Fetch Please Dog Training handler at Mason's Place. Play and choice-based learning is an excellent way to build a dog's desire to work with their handler, regardless of distractions.

Pepper is making excellent progress in her training while she waits for her furrever home!

Fights happen. If you have multiple dogs in your household or if your dog engages with others regularly, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with how to break up a dog fight safely.
Of course, if you find you are frequently having to intervene in your dog's social interactions, talk with a trainer.

When dogs start fighting, follow these dog trainer tips for breaking up a dog fight safely and quickly.

Pepper, our current foster through Non-Profit Rescue Page of Lost and Found Pets of Grant County, Wa., is making friends with the rest of the household pets. Best way to introduce new dogs? Take them for a sniff walk together. Using longlines allows us to aim for no tension on the leashes so the two dogs can figure each other out without the leashes effecting their body language. Walking with intention rather than just standing and watching them gets the whole crew on a mission so the two can casually learn about each other without any social pressure.

Looking to add a rescue dog like Pepper to your crew? Take a look at the Lost and Found Pets of Grant County Pet Finder page! https://www.petfinder.com/member/us/wa/ephrata/lost-and-found-pets-of-grant-county-wa-wa695/

Come along for a sniff walk with Miss Pepper, Lori's foster. Pepper isn't particularly treat motivated on walks, so to reward preferred behaviors like loose leash walking, attention, and slowing down when asked, we use environmental reinforcers like speeding up, giving her "freedom" (20ft on the longline vs 6ft), and just going the direction she wants to go as long as it's safe to do so.

Notice she is clipped into the back of the harness, which means she can "Be a Dog" / "Find Your Own Fun" and isn't required to maintain any particular position (which wouldnt be a fair expectation yet).

Also, apologies for the rough camera work . I hope the narration makes up for it!

Interested in an adult dog who's getting a kickstart in training? You can find Pepper through the pet finder page for the Non-Profit Rescue Page of Lost and Found Pets of Grant County, Wa.

Lori is working on developing the play and calm windows with her foster dog, Pepper. Pepper is learning quickly and will make whomever adopts her so happy! Know anyone looking to add an adult dog to their family who loves snuggles, loves training, and has a medium energy level? She is fully vetted and ready to bond with her new furrever family.

Last week we finished up the recent round of puppy classes. Who knew that you could teach your dog to be calm with you THROUGH play?!? Great work, puppy grads!
