It is a truth universally acknowledged that teenagers. are. the. WORST.

It’s why we have a class devoted just to them!

Because sometimes it’s less about training, and more about survival.

Lord of the Flies will be the hybrid of hybrid classes - a virtual orientation, two classes at Green Acres Pet Center, and two classes at Watkins Park in Mt. Airy!

We’ll be talking enrichment, appropriate exercise, brain games, what to focus on and what to just let go for the time being, and answering all of your “she’s being the WORST what do I DO NOW?” moments of panic.

We’ve only got two spots left - don’t wait to sign up!

I was always dreading the day I would lose my heart dog Luna, as she was just amazing. But the day of her transition did happen at the beginning of the year.
Thankfully, despite it being super hard, there were tools I could use to keep celebrating our never ending love story. My wish really is that if you are worried about losing your dog, that you find comfort in this little online webinar (free version available) so that you can find some peace and worry less. I’ve put together very practical tools that should help you cope and you also get a workbook with it.

Much love to you and your dogs,
Birdy 💙

I live in a relatively small farmhouse with oodles of sled dogs (currently seven, but I’ve been lucky enough to share my home with 13 of the rascals in the past). With the (rather formidable) exception of the need to sweep up a lot of hair, it’s a wonderful way to live. The dogs mostly get along...

Shake it…shake it off…

A recent study by two researchers in France looked at sniffing, pulse rate, and leash length on walks. Sixty-one dogs were taken on three separate walks, five minutes each walk, once with a 1.5m leash, once with a 5m leash, and once without a leash at all (walk order was randomized for each dog). Off-leash dogs sniffed the most, more than 3x as long as the dogs on short leashes. Dogs on long leashes spent nearly as much time as unleashed dogs sniffing, almost 3x as long as dogs on short leashes.

This study also found that sniffing resulted in lowered pulse rates, and the more intensely they sniffed, the more their pulse rates lowered. Pulse rate was also lowered when dogs “shook off” during walks on all leash lengths. The “shake off” behavior was often seen when the dog’s pulse rate was particularly high.

What else can we learn about dogs from their walking behavior? Take your best friend on a Sniffari and see what you observe!

Reactive, barky, lungy, zoomy.

Distracted, slow, shut down.

If this describes your dog (or if you are looking to prevent these issues) come join me for this online Big Feelings Foundations class.

Inspired by Leslie McDevitt's CU program, this online class will walk you through a series of exercises designed to help you and your dog learn how to live and play in an overstimulating world.

This 6 week online class includes video demonstration, exercise handouts, feedback on submitted videos and weekly Zoom calls to help you along the way.

*Approved for 9 CCPDT CEUs*

“When I am asked what is the biggest problem I see in dog training today, it is the same problem I saw fourteen years ago, and thirty years ago, it is the misunderstanding of time.

It takes time to learn how to be a teacher to another species.

It takes time to learn how to learn from another species.

It takes time to build understanding.

It takes time to learn how to observe and how to apply what you observe.

It takes time to build a relationship with trust.

It takes time to get to know one another.

It takes time to teach.

It takes an enormous amount of time to build skill on both ends of the leash.

It takes time to learn.

It take time to learn about humility.

It takes time to learn how to work together.

It takes time to learn about the things in training you don’t even know that you don’t know yet.

It takes time to learn about your own short comings.

It takes time to forgive your own short comings and learn how to move on with your dog.

It takes a life time to practice compassion.

It takes time, all of it.

You cannot rush a relationship.

You cannot rush the teaching or learning process, on either end of the leash.

You cannot rush maturity or the lack there of.

You cannot rush your skills, or your dog’s understanding of your skills.

My advice to new dog owners, seasoned dog owners, and want to be dog owners – learn how to settle in, learn that nothing will happen overnight. Learn that if you try to take short cuts and try to make it all happen to fit your schedule, or your desires, or your needs, it will come back to bite you in the ass, figuratively or literally.”

Benebone sale!

12 Days of Favorites: Day 6!

Today’s Fav is brought to you by a ⚠️ SALE ⚠️ - so don’t delay jumping on this one!

Legal opportunities to chew are SO important for all dogs, but especially puppies and young adults. Some dogs are more chewy than others, and for those dogs, the chance to sink in to a really good chew ranks as highly as food and exercise. (If you’ve never watched a chew-happy dog’s eyes glaze over as they settle in for a chew, you’re missing out on one of life’s simple pleasures.)

In our house, Benebones are King.

I can’t tell ya why - they seem like any generic nylabone type chew to me - but they are the favorite by leaps and bounds.

As with anything, giving chews is a “know-thy-dog” situation - be safe, supervise chewing on new toys, and monitor their teeth to be on the safe side.

That sale I mentioned? Chewy has a 4-pack on sale for $20, which is nearly 60% off the original price! (Link in the comments!)

Have your dogs enjoyed a Benebone? Does another chew alternative rank higher in your house?
