Spotlight Moment: Eloise & Trip! 🐾

These pups started training with me for confidence building a few month ago. We began with structured exercises at home to help them feel more secure in their surroundings and more at ease with both friends and family visiting.

For some dogs, doggie daycare can be a fantastic confidence booster, and Eloise and Trip are perfect examples! While they’re slow to warm up to new humans, they’re quick to bond with fellow dogs. This is why I suggested Pampered Paws Doggie Daycare for them throughout their training! Through daycare, they’ve learned how to express themselves, socialize properly, and build connections beyond just their owners. This progress has made a huge impact on their training and everyday life!

Daycare can be an amazing tool in the right situations—but it’s not the right fit for every pup. I’ll be making a post soon about how to match different types of dogs with the right daycare environment.

Good dogs Eloise & Trip! 🐶

I love watching these pups grow into their best selves! With that being said, Mr. Norton has officially graduated from his training! 🎓🐾
This sweet boy was such a joy to work with, and now he’s off to bigger and better things with new skills he can use in everyday life! He celebrated playing with his newest friend Addy!

Good boy Norton!

Bentley!🐾

This handsome boy is working on stranger danger. Bentley can be fairly nervous when strangers enter his space which is extremely understandable! With that being said we are teaching Bentley how to properly handle those uncomfortable situations and to focus on his momma instead. He is catching on quickly and enjoying all of the sniffs and enrichment being added to his training!

Good boy Bentley!

Fancy update!

With Porter’s condition I haven’t been able to work with Fancy as often unfortunately. Luckily she is a smart girl and remembers everything she’d learned so far! Halter breaking is going fabulous and she is picking up her feet like a lady! Fanc has been gaining weight and her bright healthy coat is shinning through!

Good girl Fancy!

Firework safety tips! 🐾 🇺🇸

🐶 Exercise Early – take your pup for a long decompression walk or play session before fireworks start to reduce energy and stress.

🐶Secure the Environment – Keep pets indoors!Close windows, curtains, and doors to muffle sound and prevent an escape attempt!

🐶 Provide a Safe Zone – Set up a cozy, quiet space your pup can go to if they’d like (crate, room, etc.) with self soothing enrichment toys!

🐶 Stay Calm – Act normal. Your calm energy helps reassure your pet!

🐶 Use Sound Masking – Play white noise, music, or turn the TV on to help cover the sound of fireworks (YouTube has calming videos for dogs).

🐶 Avoid Reinforcing Fear – Don’t overly coddle or become anxious if your pet is scared instead redirect with a calm presence. Give high value treats each time a firework goes off if they will take them!

🐶 ID & Microchip – Make sure tags and microchips are up-to-date in case of escape.

🐶 Training Tip – Practice desensitization to noise year-round with low-volume firework sounds paired with treats (reward each time one goes off).

Porter Update!

As many of you know Porter was scheduled for heart surgery today to remove the worms that had become tangled in the right side of his heart. Yesterday during his pre-op exam, we got an unexpected and incredible update: the vet only saw one remaining worm logged in his heart. 🙏🏽

Because the surgery comes with high risks and there’s now only one worm left, the vet decided it’s safer to cancel the surgery and continue with medical management instead. Porter is back home with his family and continuing to heal under close monitoring!

I’m beyond relieved! He’ll have regular follow-ups to keep an eye on his progress, but things are moving in the right direction finally! The worst news we received today was he will forever be prone to right sided heart failure due to the amount of damage the worms have caused (they suspect he has had them since a puppy) and may never be able to keep up with our other pups - but he has a chance to finally enjoy life and for that I am grateful. Once he is fully healed up from this, we will do a swallow study to address the injuries caused from the previous dog attack and do what we can if anything to fix that.

Thank you to everyone who has checked in, prayed, and sent love. Porter felt it all and we are so excited to meet the healthy version of our boy! 💛

Zuko! 🐾

This handsome boy is working on impulse control with the door! Doors can be overwhelming as it is a tight space especially when multiple dogs are entering. This is why I work hard on door manners in the daycare setting to ensure no pups feel rushed or uncomfortable when moving through them! It is a great skill for every dog to have especially in a high energy environment.

Good boy Zuko!
