When I started Pawlite Pups, it wasn’t just about training dogs. It was about contributing to a movement rooted in compassion—for animals, for people, and for the communities that bring us together. This Valentine’s season, I wanted to do something that reflects those values and helps give hope to those who often go unseen.

That’s why I’m launching “Beyond the Storm: A Mountain of Love,” a donation drive for Misfit Mountain Animal Rescue in Clyde, NC. After Hurricane Helene left property devastated—roads washed away, fencing destroyed, and access to clean water gone—they’ve continued their fight to save animals in need.

From pigs and chickens to dogs and cats, Misfit Mountain is a refuge for the misfits—the animals who have nowhere else to turn. But now, they need us. As the world moves on to the next disaster, these animals are still here, waiting for someone to remember them, to help rebuild the safe haven they so desperately need. One day, it could be our community & our animals, who need this same kindness.

Let’s not forget them. Let’s be the ones who show up for the misfits, the forgotten, the ones who can’t ask for help themselves.

Today, I had to do something I never recommend: pick up a reactive dog.

Why? A child, about 10 years old, was walking a tiny chihuahua and repeatedly fake-chased me and the dog I was handling. It was clear neither dog was comfortable with the situation, and yet the behavior continued.

The parent, walking behind with another dog, apologized once but didn’t step in to stop their child or correct the behavior—not even after I spoke up.

This wasn’t just frustrating—it was unsafe.

How to Teach Kids Respect and Responsibility Around Dogs

1️⃣ Respect Boundaries:

•Teach kids to recognize basic dog body language: growling, tucked tails, or avoiding eye contact all mean “I need space.”

•Explain why chasing, grabbing, or startling a dog—even in play—is never okay.

2️⃣ Safety Comes First:

•Kids should always ask before approaching a dog and learn how to calmly interact with them.
•Show them how to respect a dog’s space, even in public, and explain why their actions affect the dog’s comfort and safety.

3️⃣ Model Responsibility:

•Walking a dog isn’t just about holding a leash—it’s about understanding and meeting the dog’s needs.
•If kids can’t handle these responsibilities, they aren’t ready to walk a dog alone, let alone care for one full-time.

4️⃣ Be Honest About Your Family’s Readiness for a Pet:

•Puppies and small dogs especially require calm, consistent environments. If your child struggles with impulse control or understanding boundaries, think carefully about whether bringing a pet into your home is the right choice.

A Message to Parents

If you’re not willing to actively teach your kids how to respect dogs and their boundaries, please don’t get a pet. It’s not fair for anyone.

Dogs deserve more than love—they deserve understanding, respect, and a safe home environment where their needs come first.

We can do better.

I know it’s early, but Halloween decorations are already making an appearance—and that means it’s the perfect time to start preparing your pup!

🎃👻 Meet Arlo, a therapy dog in training, showing off his cool composure in front of a giant, moving decoration, that’s truly enormous and terrifying.

Not all dogs will be as relaxed as Arlo, and that’s okay. Here’s how to help your dog navigate the spooky season:

*Start Desensitizing Now*: With decorations already out, begin introducing your dog to the sights and sounds of Halloween slowly. Let them sniff and explore, building confidence without pressure. 🕸️
*Recognize Stress Signals Early*: Not every dog is cut out for costumes and trick-or-treating. If you notice signs of stress—like panting, restlessness, or trying to avoid interaction—it’s a sign to scale back. 🐾

*Plan for a Calm Halloween Night*: Create a safe, quiet space away from the door where your dog can relax when trick-or-treaters arrive. Familiar toys and treats can go a long way in keeping them calm. 🧘‍♀️

*Respect Their Comfort Level*: If your dog isn’t enjoying the festivities, that’s okay! It’s better to have a calm and happy dog than one who’s overwhelmed by the holiday. 🎃🐶

Now’s the time to get ahead of Halloween anxiety so both you and your dog can enjoy the season safely. Have questions or need personalized tips? Feel free to reach out—I’m here to help! 🎃👻

Are YOU listening to your dog?

I often hear complaints about dogs not listening—here are some key aspects that humans often ignore or refuse to accept and address:

Body Language:
Many humans ignore or misunderstand their dog’s body language. A wagging tail doesn’t always mean happiness; it can indicate anxiety or agitation. Dogs use their entire body to communicate, and missing these cues can lead to misunderstandings and behavioral issues.

Not Addressing Root Causes: Owners frequently focus on stopping unwanted behaviors without understanding the underlying causes. For example, a dog barking excessively might be bored, anxious, or seeking attention. Addressing the root cause is essential for effective behavior modification.

Overlooking Socialization Needs: PROPER socialization is often neglected, leading to fear or aggression towards other dogs and people. Regular, CONTROLLED exposure to various environments, people, and other animals is crucial for a well-adjusted dog.

Lack of Mental Stimulation:
Many dogs act out because they are bored. Owners often underestimate the need for mental stimulation, which is just as important as physical exercise.

Avoiding Professional Help:
Some people are reluctant to seek professional training or behavior advice. Professional trainers can provide valuable insights and techniques that are tailored to your dog’s specific needs.

To be transparent, your dog’s perceived disobedience is often a reflection of what you are not willing to address. By actively observing your dog and understanding these key aspects, you can build a stronger, more effective communication channel.

I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself to you all. Hi there, I’m Olivia, the owner of Pawlite Pups, bringing over a decade of experience in the dog industry to Raleigh-Durham and its surrounding areas. As a certified dog trainer, I've dedicated years to developing sustainable systems that enhance the bonds between humans and canines. Combining a variety of methods from a balanced approach to dog training, I prioritize positive reinforcement, using rewards like treats, praise, and playtime to encourage desired behaviors. Simultaneously, I incorporate gentle corrections and boundaries to address unwanted behaviors. My approach focuses on understanding each dog's unique needs and tailoring training methods accordingly. When I’m not becoming your dog’s next bff, I spend my time working on Healthy Opportunities Pilot Program, the first of its kind in the nation, providing healthy medically tailored meals to enrollees in need throughout six counties in Southeastern NC. This initiative reflects my unwavering commitment to promoting positive conscious changes within our community. With an educational background in sustainability and food systems, coupled with my journey as a cancer survivor and celiac, I'm dedicated to pioneering meaningful transformations that deeply resonate.
