Well sort of. We hired a relocation company to make the move easier for us. Today they're taking all of our furniture and personal belongings, then we close on the sale of the house in a few days and it's off to North Carolina we go😍
Hiring a relocation company was such a good decision and while extremely expensive🫠 it was worth every penny. They wrap all of the furniture to protect it during the move, they load and unload the truck at the new house, and they also disassemble any items that need to be taken apart and put it back together once at the new place. SO much less stressful than having to handle everything on our own

How do you feel safe moving across the country to a place where you don't know anyone?
Easy. I have Murphy😎

I need footage of current Melancholy's fancy heel. We've been tirelessly working at this one. And by we I mean me. Every step away from the lure has been fought back by melancholy. We've got a fun trick up our sleeves for this special girl. She's currently loving it more now and we are getting there!
Cheers to dog training being my whole entire personality

I've been slacking on Instagram lately. This was from melancholy's play date with Sadie (and Ruby) a couple weeks ago. The girls got to run out some energy together and romp around and ended the session with some dual training.
Ruby and Sadie's mom was a previous client who become such a close friend of ours. We are so proud (and not surprised) how well she integrated Sadie with Ruby and continued on their training together.
They're so cute together. We can't wait for their next play date

We started Melancholy's Allergy Detection training this week and she's already doing amazing😍
Unfortunately I have a severe tomato allergy, so we're going to be putting Melancholy to work with the end goal of being able to use her at the market while shopping and while at restaurants to ensure there was no cross contamination while they made my food. This means we need her to be able to identify all forms of tomatoes (fresh, tomato powder, tomato paste etc)
For now she is working on the individual food/scent and eventually we will mix it in with other items to make it a more accurate scenario and then we'll progress to trace amounts of it such as a cross contamination and eventually get her able to detect it in pre-made frozen foods through the packaging which is how she'll be able to help us while grocery shopping!

Melancholy has been perfecting her hold command lately. So we obviously had to boast about our favorite new released book by AADaSilva. Come buy a book and get it signed on 11/30/24 at Middletown B&N. And if you're not in the area, go buy the book on Amazon. You will not be disappointed.

There is NOTHING on the market that compares to Goose’s Good Eats
We've been buying these types of chews for our dogs for years now and when I tell you I was SHOCKED by the quality the first time I placed an order with Goose, I mean shocked. Not only are they exceptional quality but they're also CHEAPER than everywhere else we've ever bought them from.
Majority of these are also extremly long lasting, so much so that we always have to request some tiny ears and traceas for poor Murphy so she can enjoy them in a shorter amount of time from her Bailey Chair😅
If you haven't tried out Goose's Good Eats yet I strongly encourage you to. The quality is unlike anything else but you really need to see for yourself!

Don't let uneducated people try to scare you into thinking ecollars are abusive. Can they be abusive? yes absolutely. but in the RIGHT hands with an educated owner and an educator trainer to guide them, it is an amazing tool that can be used from everything like leash manners to off leash freedom. For some dogs, ecollars can be the difference between behavioral euthanasia and a good life. For others, it's the only way they can be trusted with off leash freedom.
Now, regardless of why you intend to use an ecollar, it's important to have a HIGH QUALITY ecollar, not some cheap poor quality $30 amazon one and definitely not the jugbow one that's been all over my fyp recently. There are good ecollars and bad ecollars, just like there are good trainers and bad trainers. A good quality ecollar in the wrong hands (a bad trainer) is still bad. Do your research and educate yourself on which ecollars are GOOD and which trainer you trust to use an averisve tool with your dog.
Personally, I will never take the remote and correct a clients dog, that isn't my place. If we are going to use an aversive tool with your dog then YOU need to comfortable with that tool and you need to be comfortable handling that tool. I am simply there to guide you through the process

We took the big dogs out yesterday for some individual time with us. They've done so well accepting a crazy puppy into their lives and home- they deserved a day like old times 🖤
We raised such independent dogs, that the puppy really threw them for a loop 😂 this small thing wants to cuddle the crap out of scamp on the daily and follow Murphy around to see what she's smelling and playing with.
Murphy hasn't wanted to train lately. Very disengaged with it. She'll perform what she is asked and then walks away with her toy for some alone time. We needed to bring back Murphy's spunk and her drive came back out in the woods with us.
Having multiple dogs is such a house full of love. Always remember to meet your individual dogs needs. Listen to their body language and moods.
We schedule play time for everyone as well as individual sessions. It gives them a good balance.

Just two Am Staffs being cuddle bugs. Scamp loves his baby. Melancholys tail shows her emotions as well.
We woke all the dogs up before sun rise this morning. They've been napping on the couch ever since. As laundry day ensues.
It's going to be a productive weekend for all of us. Some naps are necessary before the fun. It's called balance

Lets play "Count the check-ins"😏
it's alittle funny because during our initial meet and greet Mr Leroy here was dragging his mom all over the front yard and making it impossible for her to stand still and have a conversation. Fast forward and couple of weeks and he's an entirely different dog😍
Lets be real, I don't deserve any credit, it's all because of the cheese she's feeding him🤣 Kidding. But cheese definitely helps!
