Did you know a massage is Amazing for Senior Dogs?

Just like humans, our older pups can really benefit from a little extra TLC—especially in the form of massage!

Here’s why it’s so good for them:
• Boosts circulation for better organ & tissue health
• Eases stiff joints and arthritis pain
• Supports the lymphatic system to flush out toxins
• Promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety
• Helps maintain mobility and flexibility
• Improves body awareness in aging dogs
• Strengthens the human-canine bond

A gentle massage can go a long way in helping your senior dog feel more comfortable, relaxed, and loved.

My class had a chance to take advantage of the wonderful weather last week. We took the class to Dizzy Lizzie’s dog park. The dogs got a chance to be around each other off leash. Charlie and Frankie were the awesome egg hunters and each found the cherished gold egg. Snicker showed off her agility skills. Can you spot the real 🐶in the dog garden?

Yes I know it is February and I am a little late. I have decided that February is my new year. January it always seems like I’m sluggish and recuperating and not there yet. Especially this year with traveling. February is my birthday month. It’s when I seem to start to come out of a slumber. It is a month full of 💕💖💝💗 being a theme in our house. So here are some sayings and themes I am going to take with me into MY NEW YEAR!

As many of you know we started our December in Mexico with Christmas Decorations. Busy December so just did a small tree. The doggie door in picture was part of Christmas presents thanks to Mike.

Sometimes, we can’t celebrate the holidays exactly as we’d like, but we can always embrace the Christmas spirit by sharing warm wishes and spreading the joy of the season with others.

Sterling and Nicki were trying to figure out why I was telling them to tear paper when I usually tell them not to.

Why Are Mexican Dogs So Chill? 🐶☀️🇲🇽

As some of you may know, I just got back from a trip to a resort near Tulum, Mexico. I did a lot of relaxing and eating, of course. But while there, when we traveled outside the resort, I was amazed by the dogs I saw around town.

I started wondering about the differences between those dogs and the ones I typically see here. They were totally relaxed while cars drove by, people walked around them in the middle of dirt roads or busy pathways. These dogs were sprawled out, unfazed by noise, people, or other animals. It was like they had mastered the art of complete relaxation — something I personally have a hard time doing!

In contrast, the dogs I usually see here, whether in everyday life or even during training sessions, often seem hyper-aware, alert to every noise, movement, and passing person. So, why the difference?

Here are a few things I noticed about their lives compared to ours that got me thinking:

1. Free-Roaming Culture:

In Mexico, many dogs roam freely and learn to navigate busy environments from a young age. They get used to unpredictable sights, sounds, and people. Over time, they learn what really needs their attention and what doesn’t.

2. Self-Reliance:

Dogs in Mexico have a balance of independence and community care. Whether they’re pets, semi-strays, or street dogs, they develop confidence in managing their surroundings. This independence fosters a sense of calm. Here, dogs tend to be much more dependent on us for everything.

3. A Laid-Back Environment:

Mexican culture, especially in smaller towns, embraces a slower pace of life. The relaxed vibes rub off on the dogs, too. They’ve adapted to chill alongside their human companions.

4. Minimal Over-Stimulation:

Dogs in the USA often live in structured environments with constant activity, training, and attention. In Mexico, dogs experience a different rhythm of life — they rest when they want, explore when they need to, and rarely feel the need to be “on alert” 24/7.

When I work with my clients, I emphasize three important tasks when taking their dogs to a new environment:

1. Let your dog explore — give them time to sniff, watch, and just be a dog.

2. Work with your dog — practice loose-leash walking, downs, stays, and recall.

3. Sit and relax — your dog needs downtime, too!

Dogs need to do all three to learn they can explore, work despite distractions, and relax in any environment.

And maybe, just maybe, they can teach us something in return: to slow down, trust our surroundings, and take life one siesta at a time.

“Relaxing isn’t being lazy; it’s being balanced.” 🐾💤

I was at a networking event and was asked why I do what I do. I am sure I could write a whole book. I tried to make it concise. I see how people struggle with their dogs and how much stress it brings to their lives. Yes lots of joy with our dogs. Our dogs are still going to be dogs. To say it simply I help dog owners create stronger bonds with their pets, leading to less stress, more peace, and well-behaved dogs. As a coach( trainer). I know this time of year can be a little crazy for adding something else to your plate but I do offer gift certificates. You can make training you and your dogs New Years Resolutions. If you have that family or friends you visit with out of control dogs gift them a private with me. In the mean time check out my blog on https://hart4paws.com/unleashing-holiday-joy-with-your-dog/
