Threshold work teaches dogs how to enter and exit spaces calmly instead of rushing through them. This reduces stress, improves focus, and carries over into walking, containment, and everyday movement.

This Thanksgiving, remember your dog isn’t thankful for perfection, they’re thankful for the way you show up. The patterns you keep, the movement you give them, the boundaries that make their world predictable, and the emotional tone you lead with. Dogs feel our energy long before our words. So if you’re trying, regulating, and guiding? They notice. And they’re grateful in the only way they know how—by trusting you.

If you’re a woman in America, hear me:
a big dog changes your entire safety bubble.

I’m not talking about ‘protection dogs.’ I’m talking about the giant mutts and the intimidating-looking breeds who make the wrong men reconsider their whole life plan the second they see you walking toward your car.

A calm, confident, structured dog next to you creates distance. It creates hesitation. It creates space you absolutely deserve to take up.

Big mutt? Perfect.
Large shepherd mix? Perfect.
Blocky-headed mystery dog from the shelter? Even better.

Your dog doesn’t have to be aggressive. They don’t have to be trained to ‘protect.’ They just have to read as “don’t.” And you can amplify that energy with simple things:

– “Do Not Pet” or “Trained to Protect” tags
– Black or tactical-style gear
– A structured heel
– A clean “watch” cue
– A wide leash or thicker collar
– Letting your dog stand in front of you when you stop
– Walking like you own your space (because you do)

And if you want a specific breed that naturally carries that energy?
Think Irish Wolfhound, Rottweiler, Giant Schnauzer, Doberman, GSD, Anatolian, Boerboel, Cane Corso, or a giant shelter mix with some presence to them.

You don’t need to train your dog to be a weapon, but a dog who makes creeps think twice 🙌🏻🫶🏽👍🏼

Not her. Not today.

Holidays are overwhelming for a lot of us, and it unfortunate that dogs feel every leftover piece of your stress, your schedule changes, and the chaos around them. This guide helps you keep things consistent, predictable, and calm… even when life isn’t.

Inside the Holiday Dog Care Guide, I cover:
• Hosting guests without overstimulating your dog
• Traveling with dogs who need structure
• What to do when your dog is home more than usual
• How to support reactive or sensitive dogs
• Simple rules that prevent holiday chaos
• The EMCD cycle and why it still matters this time of year

If you want the simple guide, just comment HOLIDAY below and I’ll DM it to you.

The world can feel heavy, but our dogs remind us of what matters. They ask for our time, our guidance, and our presence. A kayak adventure gives us the space to offer all of that while breathing in fresh air and moving together on the water.

These paddles are about connection and trust. Your dog learns to navigate something new with you by their side, and you get a chance to let the noise fade and enjoy the bond you’ve built. Training in motion, with the reward of adventure.

I’m planning one group paddle in October and hopefully another in November before the season ends. The interest form is in my bio, and spots will be limited.

3 Years of Pawlite Pups 🐾
Year three was a year of building. It was my second year partnering with , and built my very first piece of agility equipment woohoo! I
leaned deeper into patience and kindness with the humans on the other end of the leash, and more clarity with the dogs in front of me.
For me, Pawlite Pups has always been about more than training. It is about giving dogs a real chance. This business has opened doors I never imagined, and now I’m dreaming even bigger: creating more opportunities, launching more ventures, and one day opening a nonprofit dedicated to helping and saving more dogs.

Year four is calling, and I’m ready to answer.

August 10th is Spoil Your Dog Day, and here’s the secret:

Dogs don’t feel truly spoiled when they’re overstimulated and exhausted.
They feel spoiled when their needs are met in the right balance—brain, body, and heart.

This year, try building your dog’s dream day with:

•Novel experiences
•Calm guidance
•Mental games
•Real rest
•Connection

It’s sustainable, enriching, and leaves them happier tomorrow, not just today.

Pack Walk & Ice Cream Social
July 19 |
Hosted by +

Come move, connect, and treat your pup to something special. We’ll start with a structured pack walk to help your dog release energy, build confidence, and practice calm socializing—then head to Raleigh Brewing for a homemade doggie ice cream bar designed with your pup’s well-being in mind.

✨ What to expect:
🐕 Confidence-building walk with a supportive crew
🍦 House-made dog-safe ice cream
🫐 20 dog-friendly toppings for your pup to explore
📋 Each topping includes info on how it benefits your pup
👫 A chill hangout with other dog lovers
🍨 Ice cream for humans too—because you deserve it

As a retired pastry chef and professional trainer, I’ve crafted this experience to be just the right mix of enrichment, education, and fun. This will be for Non-Reactive dogs only. Our next Reactive Session will be in September.

I’m pansexual.
And I’m a dog trainer—one who’s learned more about love, safety, and trust from dogs than almost anything else.

Dogs don’t care who you love.
They care how you show up.
They notice your energy, your patterns, your presence. They meet you where you are—without judgment, without conditions.

That’s shaped everything about how I train, and how I live. It’s why I built Pawlite Pups the way I did—with compassion, clarity, and room for people (and dogs) to just be themselves.

I carry privilege—being white, being femme, being partnered with a straight white male who makes me feel safe in a world that often isn’t. I don’t carry shame for that. I carry responsibility.

Because Pride isn’t just about celebration. It’s about courage. It’s about showing up—especially when it’s uncomfortable. Especially when others can’t.

So this month, and always: I’m here. I’m proud. And I’m building something that feels like freedom.

Human Prep for Reactive Dogs 🐾

I’m hosting a fairly informal, interactive session to help you prepare for next Saturday’s reactive dog prep session.

Here’s what I’ll cover:

•Understanding reactive behavior and what triggers it
•How to read your dog’s body language
•Strategies to handle tough moments
•How to prepare yourself and your dog for a smoother experience
•What to expect during Saturday’s session, where we’ll focus on practicing calm, controlled movement, not covering distance

This is a humans-only session tailored to who shows up. It’s a chance to ask questions, get clear on the plan, and leave feeling more confident and prepared for Saturday.

June 5 at 7PM
Flight Deck, Lumley Rd

Being a dog mom means everything to me—it’s the only title I’ve ever really wanted. No one tells you that building your dream life comes with tangled leashes, treat crumbs in your pockets, and more late-night Canva than sleep… but here we are.

This is the busiest month I’ve ever had, and it’s only happening because of the people who show up, share, and remind me that what I’m building matters. To all the dog moms out there—the ones who chose this life with full hearts and zero hesitation—I see you. I’m with you. And I’m building this for us.

Happy National Dog Mom Day.

(And yes, the final video is brought to you by my supportive boyfriend and his deeply committed focus… on my butt.)
