The days after the holidays can feel… off.
Dogs pick up on changes just like we do — different routines, different energy, different expectations.
This is a perfect time to slow things down, reinforce calm behaviors, and start thinking about what structure might look like moving forward.
No pressure. Just intention.

Wishing you and your pups a peaceful holiday 💚

However today looks — quiet, busy, structured, or relaxed — I hope it’s filled with warmth, safety, and moments of connection.

Thank you for trusting me with your dogs this year.

What’s ONE thing your dog does that makes the holidays better — even on the chaotic days?

Training Tip Tuesday

Dropped food, open doors, visitors moving around — this is real-life training.

Don’t aim for perfection.
Aim for management + small wins.

A leash, a gate, or a “place” cue is still training when it keeps everyone calm and safe.

During the holidays, is your dog more of a…

🎁 “I love all the chaos!” dog
🛋️ “Please let me nap through this” dog
🍗 “Did someone drop food?” dog

Holiday expectations: A gentle reminder as we head into the holidays 🎄 Training doesn’t stop in December — it just looks different. Some days it’s practice. Some days it’s management. Some days it’s choosing calm over chaos. All of it counts. Give yourself (and your dog) some grace this week.

Training Tip Tuesday

Training isn’t just about training sessions — it’s about the whole picture.

🧠 Enrichment
🚶‍♀️ Exercise
🎓 Training

Think of your dog’s success like a team project.
Not every member of the household has to be a rockstar at everything — and that’s okay!

* One person might be great at walks & exercise
* Another might rock training games & cues
* Someone else might handle enrichment, food puzzles, or calm time

When everyone contributes their “1%,” it adds up to 100% support for your dog. 💚

Consistency doesn’t mean perfection — it means working together to meet your dog’s physical, mental, and emotional needs.

Small efforts. Shared goals. Big progress. 🐕✨
