I got to hangout with these 2 handsome boys this morning! I adore Eddy so much! He’s the sweetest old man and Cooter Brown got to see me for the first time today! He was the best boy!

HUGE shoutout to everyone for being so flexible this afternoon when I had to run to the dr! Allergic reactions are no joke! A couple shots and some oral meds and I’ll be good as new tomorrow! I appreciate you all so much!

Remember to take care of yourself! ❤️

This is a good read!

How do you feel about exposing your dog to stress?

This young Weimaraner started a board and train recently. During the drop off, I informed his owner, he'd be living under some different rules at my house than what he'd been used to for the past few months of his life.

He would be subjected to some "healthy stress.”

Among other things, he would be sleeping in a crate at night, learning to walk nicely on a leash, and participate in proprioceptive exercises to build body awareness.

Essentially, he would be learning some problem solving skills and because of it, develop greater resilience.

The first day here he found himself stuck on the opposite side of a pole than the side I was on.

Can you guess what I did?

I did nothing. I stood there, not moving, not applying more pressure to the leash, not coochie-cooing him...I just waited.

It took him about 90 seconds of wiggling, and whining to figure out what to do to get himself free.

Once he did, he was darn proud of himself, prancing about for a few seconds and then we moved on and enjoyed a short game of fetch.

The stress was short lived. He learned how to relieve it and was proud of himself as he discovered his power to problem solve.

We do our dogs no favor by immediately bailing them out of every little problem or struggle they encounter.

So often I hear, "My dog doesn't like the crate,” or "My dog doesn't like to be brushed,” or "My dog won't potty while on leash.”

As a woman who has raised two (now grown) children, I could not have imagined saying to my kids dentist..."well, they don't like having their teeth brushed so we just gave up." 🤣

I have news for you, there are very few dogs that immediately enjoy their crate, or being brushed and bathed, or being restrained on a leash.

It's our job to teach them to tolerate the realities of life in the human world.

For most things the teaching recipe is simple:

A bit of skill, applied over time, mixed by a healthy dose of patient persistence.

If you don't have the skill, the time or the patience, you can pay people like me to do the foundation work for you. It is like having the dentist clean the kids teeth...but if you don't maintain what the professional did, it's not going to become good habits that serve for a lifetime.

The main thing to understand is that stress and learning will be part of life. There is no avoiding it. It is how we learn to work through it that makes the difference.

By taking time to teach your dog how to tolerate some stress and learn to problem solve, you set them up for increased confidence, improved manners and an overall healthier mindset.

A few cuties from today!

Fun fact! Miss Sophie and Miss Gracie are siblings that live with different families! So funny to have them in on the same day!

Sweet baby Oreo came in for her first bath and left with HIS first groom🤣 kittens can be hard to s*x! If you ever have any questions feel free to stop in and ask! I love kitten cuddles! 💕 he was a feisty guy and I loved every minute of it! Definitely gave me some much needed laughs today!

Okay okay I know it’s early to be thinking Halloween BUTTTTT you can’t dye a tail a color called “pumpkin orange” without being a little spooky! 🎃

Did you know I offer coloring as an add on service?

More than 300 search and rescue dogs worked tirelessly to find survivors amongst the wreckage of the greatest terrorist attack on American soil. Today, we remember them.

Their dedication and sacrifice reminds us that dogs are more than just pets; they're family, protectors, workers, and true heroes. ❤️

Ive been working with Miss Mackey for a few months to get her quicks back! She gets her nails done (and a deshed) every 3 weeks!
