Italiano's Pawsitive Pups Training

11/10/2025

🥰

Italy is officially allowing medium and large dogs to fly in the cabin with their owners - not just tiny lap dogs. This change, approved by ENAC (Italy’s Civil Aviation Authority), means our big pups can finally travel beside us instead of being stowed in cargo. The first demonstration flight has already taken off, marking a major step forward for animal welfare and pet travel.

The updated ENAC regulations state that the combined weight of the pet and its carrier must not exceed the maximum weight for an “average passenger.” (Sources: Outlook Traveller, Wanted in Rome, Anilogistic). In other words, there isn’t a clearly fixed number in kilograms. It’s based on what’s considered an average passenger weight.

So I guess it depends on who’s doing the math… but if my dog is 140 pounds and I’m 100 pounds, I think we’re safe. 😉

If you’ve ever worried about flying your dog in cargo, this is the change we’ve all been waiting for. ✈️🐶 Airlines will still have their own seating and safety requirements, but Italy’s move signals a huge shift in how we view pets, not as luggage, but as family. Let’s hope this becomes the new normal worldwide.

What a beautiful sight this is!! Rooney hasn't laid in his lounge chair since Finnegan has entered the home. That was two years ago!! We have been working so hard at making him feel more comfortable and we have been working hard on Finnegans impulse control around her kitty siblings. Seeing Rooney finally come down stairs on his own and lay in his chair extremely relaxed melted my heart! I love helping to bring family's closer and to have a more peaceful home environment. Give me a call if you could use a little peace in your home!

Look how well Rooney and Quin handle hearing Finnegan running around. Rooney used to run away as soon as he would hear finnegan's dog tags jingle. We getting them use to her running past them without scaring them. Now they're starting to come out on their own.Be in the living room with her family.More and even handle finnegan running and playing while they observe. This is such an accomplishment for the entire household.

What hard work looks like!! Finnegan wouldn't even walk on the street her Vet was located on. She now is able to walk in the Vets office on her own and walk out without any stress! She chose to walk into the Vets office. Huge progress!! Way to go Finnegan and her owners for working so hard at making her feel more comfortable with the Vets office.

Finnegan sitting so proudly on the corner. Remember when working with your animals you descensize them to different types sidewalks, objects, and textures. Like this bumpy part of the sidewalk. Desensitizing your dog to all types of different object is one of the best things you can do for them. That way later on, they won't develop a fear over new or weird objects/places.

More amazing evidence of how hard work really pays off!! Yubi ( cat on the left) hasn't really came out into her livingroom since Finnegan has arrived. Finnegan used to lung and chase the cats. She has now learned how to react when her furry siblings are around but also we worked with the cats (there are 3 cats) so they now know that they can come out and it will be a safe place for them! Finnegan and her owners have worked so hard. They just want ever to live happily with each other. They are really getting to see the progress of their hard work!

Baloo has graduated to a calm relaxed dog while visiting the vet! He doesn't need his muzzle when visiting the Vet for yearly physicals! Hopefully he'll be able to get his blood drawn without a muzzle at some point as well. He's has shown so much progress in so many different ways. Most of all I can tell he really trusts me now to get him through uncomfortable situations. We are really overcoming his fears together. He could be such an amazing dog once he over comes his fears. Way to go Baloo on working so hard on overcoming your fears!!

Baloo has made serious progress with his leash walks and not being so reactive on leash! This has taken him a long time but hes finally getting there! What a good boy!!

I normally dont share anything thats not dog related but this is my best friend and i need it to reach as many people as possible. Her husband needs help! Please help in whatever way you can. Even if it's just by sharing. Thank you all for your support.

These are some on the hardest words I'll ever have to write. A few days ago my best friend passed away while bringing her beautiful baby girl into the world. Words can't express the amount of pain and sorrow my heart feels. We spoke everyday. I would have never imagined the conversation on the way to the hospital would be the last time I every spoke to you. You were like my sister. We shared so much in common we joked about getting a DNA test. My life will be so different without getting to go through it with you everyday. I will alway protect and care for your beautiful baby girl like she was my own! Rest easy Kellie! I will always love you! Please if anyone can donate to her GoFundMe. Help her husband and newborn baby. Her baby girl is still in the NICU until they know she is in the clear. He can't work until he gets this all handled. Her husband is doing the best he can with the tragic hand he was dealt. Please help in anyway! I appreciate all of you!

This is an amazing video showing what putting hard work into your dog looks like. Finn is terrified of the vet. She won't even walk by the vets office on a regular walk. We have now reached the point she can walk past the vet! Way to go Finn and her owners for working so hard!
