Training B

Looks boring but Zuko is actually working really hard on learning Deep Pressure Therapy. He's been struggling with the verbal cue aspect of it. Eventually we will tie it into physical cues from the handler (me), meaning heart rate, and stress hormones.

Zuko is our official Branch Manager. He makes sure this page is 90% pictures of him. He needs his cuteness appreciated.

I recently started working at a dog training gym. I've brought Zuko in with me few times now, and although he can be reactive, he's gotten so much better with each time. He just hates it when I'm teaching. All the other dogs getting treats, and praised, and he's not there to get any... 😢 tryinghis

Here's some shots of Zuko during his birthday week. It's had to believe he's 4 already. My little is all grown up. He's been starting show signs of being an adult for a few months. But often still acts like a puppy.

I got to watch these sweet babies last month. I love turtles and tortoises so much I love how excited the get for breakfast and adventurous they can be.

Zuko isn't a big fan of thunder storms or fireworks like a lot of dogs. So when unexpected storms happen sometimes the impromptu calming music on headphones is enough to stop him shaking. He usually will get his prescription Trazadone and we'll play white noise to drown out the scary sounds.

It does make an adorable photo though.. ❤️

Stay safe and cool this 4th of July! Remember to keep your dogs inside this evening. If your pup has firework phobia like Zuko remember to give them their drugs well before the fireworks start. Zuko got a pill this morning and will get another around 6 to make sure it's completely metabolized before even the little fireworks start.

I saw a bunch of these signs at the Tanger outlet mall. I really appreciate that they have them out. Please be careful in this heat everyone.

Zuko is a lol He's a very pawsie dog and loves to hold things, especially hands. If it has our smell on it and we leave it on the couch, He's going to hold it. Which leaves cute moments like this. Funny part is he gets mad if we play too much video games or are on our phone for too long without giving him attention.

Lady was super sleepy after our class last week. She put herself down for a nap on the blanket we've been using as her "place". She's too cute! hardwork

Last week we lost our oldest fur baby Tex. She was my first pet as an adult. I got her as a high school graduation gift to myself. She was the first pet who really got me into training. The first thing she learned was how to play dead. She taught Zuko how to give paw and is the smartest animal I've ever met. She knew she was the favorite child. I love her and miss her and she will always be my familiar and head of the Briana protection squad. Tex

You know you really need to clean when the dog brings you the dust pan. I guess I know what I'm doing today.
