Working on better walks w Hulk and his family! Hulk has been through a lot, and is very strong. We are working on less pulling and less reactions to neighbors and dogs. Progress is never linear but we are starting to see improvements and getting some nice wins!
We started 5 sessions ago addressing his big emotions and with basics of crate work and watching the world and leash skills in the yard. Now we are moving to the neighborhood slowly and he’s been able to give more and more loose leash and less reactions!! 🥰🥳 GO TEAM HULK!!!

I’m lucky to say Emilea is doing great considering her last back injury in May. She can walk and even run for 14 she’s still a firecracker and I’m forever grateful for for being the place I met her, learned so much about how to keep her safe and healthy and for being able to access care there to help her age gracefully, maintaining her active life. I’m also super thankful to the staff The Village Vet for her laser treatments each week and all the love and care the show her regularly and for so many years! I’m so happy she continues to thrive!
Anyone who knows me, knows this little dog changed the course of my life, more than once. She’s certainly the reason I have the career and life I do now. I can confidently say she’s my soul dog, my best friend and guiding light. Im blessed to have more time with her, I just want to cherish her senior years, help her age with little pain and lots of dignity and support bc she deserves it. Sweet Emilea Wiener Beep 🐾❤️ my heart!

Hi!

Lantana and her friends are wondering if anyone can plz send her towels, blankets, and dish soap so they can be snuggly and have sparkling clean dog bowls 🤩

They can be dropped off 7 days a week, from 12 to 4pm, or shipped 📦 to the shelter.

Thanks!❤

Romeo’s goals are some of my favorite things to work on!
1) being calmer in public
2) less reactive to dogs
3) leash skills

These goals have some common skills, so that’s where we start!
🐾getting his attention and rewarding - first at home then in the world, then off distractions.
🐾practicing calm behaviors like sit and down - first at home then out in the world, then with more distractions.
🐾creating engagement/disengagement patterns, where he looks at things from a distance and is rewarded for giving us his attention back.

He’s making great progress! And starting to do more outings! So proud of Romeo and his family! ❤️🐾

If you want help with your dog being calmer in public DM me!

Cafe Manners class a graduates!!! Congrats grads! Go fourth and chill in the busy world! Pick appropriate settings to practice, reward your dogs duration downs, frequently and don’t stay too long! But go out in the world you can do it! Practice makes progress! 🐾

I hope you learned something and have more confidence to take your dogs out! I really enjoyed teaching this and was impressed with reactive to cafe pups progress!! Good doggies!! 🥰

With just two more weeks left of full services, I had to make sure to thank my amazing team! Julia and Kim thanks for so many things, including sticking it out until the end! Thanks for being dedicated to the dogs and quality services for our clients all the way until we finish this strong! Emma thanks for helping me build this grow it and show up even after you had another job, thanks for being there through so many different versions of Eastside! To my amazing husband and dog, thanks for giving up so much time with me and supporting my dreams without question, your definitely part of the team!
To all of you, thanks for caring compassionate humans! I appreciate your hard work and the sacrifices you’ve made to make dogs lives better and the business successful! I wouldn’t be able to walk away so graciously with my head up knowing it was successful without all of your help!! That means the world to me! Xox don’t be strangers ❤️🐾

I’m not crying, you’re crying! 😭🐾❤️

Gus & his awesome moms worked with me on his leash and tv reactivity and we did some relax in place work at the end too! He’s come along way and is getting more confident and increasingly comfortable with new environments, scary (motorcycles) and exciting (dogs) stimuli! His confidence and success will continue to grow practicing his new skills with his moms. I’m here if they need anything! I loved working with all of them! Go Team Gus!

If your dog is struggling to be calm in public or around distractions, has reactions on leash, or you would like improved leash skills, DM me! I’m booking for fall private training sessions now, but we can jumpstart your training with a zoom consultation within a few weeks!

Emilea Update #3: so far so good! We started stepping down steroids yesterday and will continue to taper them until next Monday. So we won’t know for sure if the inflammation has subsided thoroughly until then but she’s certainly perky and feeling good. She’s moving around, and wants to be more active. I still have her on restriction - half the living room, carpets only and carried outside walking with a sling. She is still a touch unstable but WAY better than last week. She can walk without the sling which wasn’t the case last week. She can hold herself up to potty which also wasn’t the case last week. Many thanks to everyone for the well wishes.. while it’s not a sure thing yet, things are really looking good for my little feisty girl!

Update - Emilea has shown small improvements throughout the week, in her movement, mobility and paw placement but isn’t out of the woods yet. The improvements are slight, and still do not allow her to walk on her own. I was a bit more concerned that she didn’t sleep well last night, and I was concerned about her level of pain, so stayed home again. My apologies to my clients!
Good news is after spending time with her this am she has been napping and resting seemingly comfortably. She also has her personality and is barking at squirrels and birds, and making her nests on the bed to the best of her abilities right now.
-She’s stretching herself, able to roll over for belly rubs and curl up to nap. She able to bear more weight on her front paw even on soft surface.
In summary progress is glacial, and think she may need a steroid to get over this hump, I’m waiting to speak to the vet. But she’s got her s***k, is barking and stretching and showing some improvements, just not enough to be confident in a recovery at this point.
I’m so sorry to my clients but she’s my first client, she’s the reason I ever started my own dog business she’s my inspiration and I need to be with her for this. She’s my number one girl! (Don’t tell the baby!)

My sweet beep has hurt herself, and needs my assistance at home. She’s 14 and this is a tough injury. If she can recover it will take lots of my time attention. I have given lots of other peoples dogs my love and attention over the years, my dog needs me right now, so that’s where I’ll be, with her. Please excuse any inconvenience or interruption in our regularly scheduled service. I’ll update when I can waiting at vet now. ❤️

Loving Every last bit of winter! Bring it on! Can’t get enough of the snow & sun!!

03/23/2024

After much thought and a bit of research, we have decided to close for the whole day on April 8th, for the eclipse. Please plan accordingly.
The following reasons lead us to this decision;
☀️animals may be nervous, act differently and be thrown off by this event. This can include dogs but also the deer and animals we sometimes encounter on the trails. Seems like it could be less safe then usual.
☀️traffic is predicted to be very congested due to the influx of tourists. Could lead to major delays in our schedules.
☀️parks, our main work spaces will most likely be crowded with people. Could make working more challenging then usual.
☀️seems like lots of schools and other business will be closing for a regional holiday of sorts.
☀️once in a lifetime event that we should all experience with our families safely.

🐾Pardon our mud! Mud season is seeming to last forever this year… we do our best to clean your pup before sending them home!

It helps us a lot if your hose is on and accessible to us. We do our best to clean your pup, but we are not groomers 😅

Let us know if you have special instructions like putting your dog in a crate or specific area so they won’t get your house dirty!
