This poor dog was running scared on Wednesday.

He’s the sweetest most perfect boy. Im calling him Asher!
In Hebrew Asher means “blessed” or “fortunate”
I’m in love 🥰 😍.

This morning on my way to meet a friend for breakfast, I spotted a loose, terrified dog running down the road. It was freezing, the wind was brutal, and a handful of us pulled over to try to help him. At one point I was literally lying on the ground with toys and food, hoping he’d trust me enough to come closer.

I tried several times to coax him into my SUV, but he was too scared. Thankfully, another kind person stopped with her SUV and he finally jumped right into the back of hers. Teamwork for the win. ❤️

He’s an intact male Goldendoodle with no microchip. He was covered in burrs, matted, dirty, and so smelly. I picked out every burr one by one and then brushed him. And, despite how scared he was at first, he let me. After a warm bath, a little lavender oil on his muzzle, and a plate of scrambled eggs with cheese and tuna, he settled right in.

He’s now loving life on a soft warm blanket…
Bella, on the other hand, is not impressed with her temporary roommate. 😂

I’m just so grateful he’s not out in this weather tonight. And thank you to everyone who stopped to help this poor, scared pup! You truly helped save him. ❤️🐾

I worked with a dog today who’s been showing some reactivity toward kids. It was so nice to see him start to relax, trust, and show less stress. 🐾
It’s always a slow process, but watching those little moments of progress reminds me why I love what I do. Helping dogs feel safe is truly one of the best parts of my job. ❤️
Sam worked so hard today! He was absolutely worn out by the time I left! (He definitely earned that nap 😴)
Look at that cute face!! 🥰🥰🥰

💔The Truth About “Dog Trainers” And Why It Breaks My Heart 🐾

I get so many calls from people who have spent thousands of dollars and countless hours working with someone who calls themselves a dog trainer… only to end up with a fearful, anxious, or even aggressive dog.

Here’s the sad reality:
👉 The dog training industry is completely unregulated.
That means anyone can call themselves a “trainer,” even without education or credentials in canine behavior.

Recently, one of my clients showed me an email from a local “trainer” who instructed her to:
⚠️ Put a muzzle on her dog and keep him in a crate.
⚠️ Only feed him while wearing the muzzle.
⚠️ Stop giving the medications prescribed by her veterinarian and instead give CBD oil that the “trainer” was selling.
⚠️ When the owner expressed concern that her dog wasn’t eating and was losing weight, the trainer replied, “I don’t care if he doesn’t eat for four days, he needs to lose weight anyway.”

A prong collar and shock collar were also required.
The consequences of this advice were catastrophic. 💔

Not only is this unethical and inhumane , it’s dangerous.
This so called “trainer” was essentially practicing veterinary medicine without a license, giving harmful instructions that caused serious suffering. And sadly, this isn’t an isolated story.

I see the aftermath of these outdated, punitive methods far too often. These approaches don’t solve behavior problems, they suppress them through fear and pain. When fear is involved, trust is destroyed.

Here’s what real science and ethical standards say:
✅ The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) sets the professional standard for veterinarians and certified trainers.
✅ Their evidence-based position is clear: use reward based, positive reinforcement methods, not punishment.
✅ Positive reinforcement helps dogs feel better about their world, while punishment only teaches them to fear it.

To maintain my certifications as a Certified Canine Behavior Consultant and Certified Professional Dog Trainer, I’m required to complete 72 hours of continuing education. I stay current because dogs and their owners deserve professionals who truly understand how dogs think, learn, and feel.

If you’re looking for a trainer, please ask these questions:
🐾 What certifications or credentials do they have?
🐾 Do they talk about dominance, alpha, or being the “pack leader”?
🐾 Do they recommend prong, pinch, or shock collars?
🐾 Do they sell or recommend replacing veterinary medications?

If so, walk away.

Training should never be about control or fear. It should be about communication, trust, and compassion.
