Do you need a cute puppy in your life or know someone wh does? 🐶

We are fostering Pat Benatar from Three Little Pitties Rescue and are already so impressed with this fantastic puppy!

She is already offering sit, eye contact, and check ins. She’s crate trained and working on potty training. She has a great disposition, is naturally curious, has excellent social skills, and enjoys playing and relaxing. She’s kid friendly and dog friendly.

You can apply for her here: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6818ea9ce8f6f5e966022459 Animals First Adopt g e

If you’re concerned healthy play is headed towards conflict interrupt the dogs with some kissy sounds followed by treats and a consent test (more on this in a future post).

I LOVE working with puppies! Spending a lot of my time working with fear, reactivity, and aggression often can drain my emotional battery. Being on the prevention side of behavior is an amazing way to recharge! I am so grateful for my puppy clients.
