Fostering Saves Lives. If you’ve ever witnessed an animal deteriorate in their kennel, you know how unbelievably heartbreaking it is to watch. Jazzy was not doing well in her kennel at the City of Tallahassee - Animal Service Center. Despite best efforts to help manage her kennel stress by staff and volunteers, she needed more. She needed help. She needed someone to step up and save her. A call to action was issued to the shelter's foster team and the most amazing foster home stepped up for Jazzy.

Jazzy has made great strides in her foster home. The shelter now knows she is great with dogs and cats, low energy in a home setting, crate trained, and non-destructive in the house. She sleeps on the couch all day while her foster ma works. She is happy to sleep in her crate at night, a separate room, or in bed with you. Jazzy is a snuggle bug, enjoys sunbathing, and zoomies in the yard. The shelter also knows Jazzy did very well living with a 7 year old for a month from a prior adoption. Jazzy’s one quirk is she is potty-shy and needs a backyard to do her business – who could blame a gal? She just doesn’t want to go potty on leash.

Fostering is such an essential part of the shelter’s operation. No animal requests to live in a shelter kennel. And the truth of the matter is some dogs manage the stress of a shelter environment better than others. And then there are some that no matter how short their stay at the shelter may be, they deteriorate fast.

Lives like Jazzy’s are saved because of the incredible foster team at the shelter. Unsung heroes that open more than their homes, but their hearts, so that broken animals can heal and get a second chance at a life they never knew they deserved.

ASF is proud to support the shelter’s foster program, and thanks to the kindness of our supporter’s we can provide foster animals with heartworm treatment through our Heartworm Help Program, specialized medical care through our Vet Visit Program, enrichment supplies, and training support in homes thanks to a partnership with the generous & talented team at Morgan's Dog Training.

Foster a Pet Month may be coming to a close, but the need for foster homes at the shelter remains high, as an empty kennel at the shelter does not exist and many more dogs just like Jazzy deserve a chance to shine in a foster home.

The more members of our community that step up and join the shelter’s foster team, the more foster homes we can help support, and the more lives we can help save. It’s an incredible village to be a part of, truly the rarest of honors.

If you’re interested in helping the shelter save lives like sweet Jazzy, apply to foster today by visiting https://www.talgov.com/animals/asc-foster.

April 23rd is national Lost Dogs Awareness Day. Please remember that Not All Stray Dogs Are Homeless!

When you see a "stray" dog, please don't assume the dog has been abandoned because it's skinny and dirty. Treat them like you would want your own dog to be treated and help them find their way back home.

If you've found a lost dog we're here to help you get them back to their owner. Here are tips to reunite them with their family:

In class we discuss using a pay scale. What that means is things your dog is MOST willing to work for to things that are still rewarding! Using a higher pay scale for distracting and harder environments is like getting paid more in life for harder jobs! Your pay scale can be subject to change throughout your dogs life. However, I think it can be good to check in and see what your dog’s current pay scale is. Can you name 5 things (highest to lowest) for your dogs personal pay scale? I’ll list Braxton’s below…
1. Tug toy
2. Stick
3. Cheese sticks
4. Bill Jac treats
5. Kibble

We switched when one of our dogs kept getting bumps on his chin due to bacteria infection! It’s also important to keep it clean!

All stainless steel used here . even for the cats. Did not know this about ceramic , but they break can't be trusted with things that break , and the dogs would chew up the plastic , so stainless it is.

What do we expect of our dogs?

What expectations do we have for their behaviour?

Under what conditions should they be able to do those behaviours?

What are our expectations about timescale? How long should it take?

It takes a human child around 4 years of practice to become really proficient at walking. Yet we expect our puppies to be able to walk perfectly on lead after a few weeks while very little tuition. What about when they need the toilet and pull until they find a suitable place to go? Do we allow that? Or insist they walk with us perfectly?

Does your three year old, 4 year old or 14 tear old do exactly what you ask or tell them every single time? Does your teenager ever break curfew or take a few seconds/minutes to finish their computer game before coming down for dinner? Yet we expect our dog to come back first time, every time, at speed the second we give an ambiguous and often arbitrary signal to come back with very little meaningful training built on a poor level of reinforcement (no, praise is often not meaningful enough).

Do you jump to it when you are on your lunch break when your boss asks you to do a task? Yet we repeat "sit, sit, sit, SIT!" if our dog doesn't immediately respond.

Can a human child, or adult for that matter, regulate themselves emotionally under any or all circumstances? I regularly get adults, with decades of practice, unable to control themselves emotionally and object to my content or project things which are not there, where scrolling past would be a more peaceful, and I dare say, productive, course of action. Yet we expect our dogs to never have a bad day, never be allowed to say "no, I don't want to do that," always be friendly to every dig and person they meet, never need a moment to assess safety etc.

It takes years, if not decades of active work, learning and teaching for a human to do all of these things in a human world. Unfortunately we don't have our dogs for decades, so let's try to take it easy on them, take the pressure of expectations (and maybe examine why we have them) off them and enjoy them while they are with us.

As I write this, Logan is lying on the bed with me under his blanket. He's around 10 now, he has likely more years behind him than in front of him. I let him up and arrange his blankets when he asks in the morning. I'll never look back on these times in years to come and think, "I wish I'd let him up on the bed with me less."

Cherish, teach, honour our dogs.

Emma working on her desensitization of the muzzle. We’ve been working on treating her inside the muzzle when she puts her head in on command, the next step is reaching the strap over her head. She was a little hesitant in the video, but we upped our reinforcement to small amounts of whip cream and she was successful multiple times! Muzzle training can be important for many reasons: ✨safety of dog and surrounding ✨dogs with pica (eat things that are not edible) ✨socialization with confidence ✨vet exams, especially with dogs in pain or with handling issues

This is Sly from advanced classes practicing his stride with cavaletti poles. We were trying to accomplish two tasks, back end awareness, and confidence building. Here is a progress video from him jumping with his back feet, to confidently learning where to place his feet. The end goal is not hitting it, and slowly stepping over it with each paw. By the end of class he was doing sets of three! Way to go Sly! #confidencebuilding #dogtraining #cavalettipoles #training #spatialawareness

Working on Braxton’s rear end awareness at the office. He is a big dude and lacks spatial awareness. There are lots of exercises you can teach to improve that. In this lesson I’m backing him up until his rear legs are on the platform. For him to get good, and therefore get the treat faster, he has to learn how to speed up putting his legs there. Which helps increase his rear end awareness! Try this with your bulldozer dog at home!

We started playing firework noises at a super low volume where you could barely hear it, then slowly raised the volume and paired it with treats. They made it pretty loud as you can hear in the video and I started to see some uncomfortable body language and stopped early! You can use this method to desensitize lots of noises such as, construction, babies crying, vacuum cleaners, loud cars, etc. just remember to keep it low to start and never go past where your dog is comfortable during one training session. #desensitization #dogtraining #noises #dogswithanxiety

Can someone explain why black dogs are the least likely to get adopted? I mean look at this face!

Working on ways to teach your toddler appropriate ways to interact with your dogs? Here’s a quick answer, involve them in making enrichment! Scarlett loves to be involved so she always enjoys when I ask for her help with the dogs. Making sure you teach your toddler what they CAN do with their dogs, is just as, if not more important, than telling them what they can’t do! Also y’all don’t come at me for being in our pajamas still at almost noon 😂 #babiesanddogs #toddlers #toddlersanddogs #dogtraining #enrichment

Spencer is such a good boy! He’s like a normal beagle though and his nose can get him into trouble. He has known to take off after a scent and his mom isn’t loud enough to get him to recall. However when we practiced recall at his house he did amazing. That led us to the idea to use a whistle to preface our touch command! Something easier for Spencer’s mom to use, and something loud enough Spencer can hear! When adding a new cue: the new cue (whistle)comes first, then the old cue (touch) comes next. Once you’ve practiced a few times, the whistle should predict the old cue!

We all know Mimi is the pushover! Anyone else’s dog immediately get comfy in your spot once you leave for a second?

A great way to proof your recall is to practice calling off of food and other distractions! Everyone give Major & Atticus a round of applause! 👏👏 #morgansdogtraining #dogtraining #dogtrainingflorida #dogtrainingtallahassee #dogsoftallahassee #dogs #recall #tallahassee

We have not mastered our leash walking skills yet 😂 #morgansdogtraining #toddlersanddogs #leashskills

One of the tricks we use to build confidence in nervous dogs is something we like to call “perching.” This can start with just two feet up a stool or something similar. In this video Tyler is working with one of our day training dogs and putting him up on a log to balance across! ✨Benefits of perching✨-Increased confidence-Help stabilize or ground them in the moment -Increases body awareness (good for dogs who are clumsy) -Improves handler and dog communication #dogtraining #getoutside #dogconfidencebuilding #nervousdog #morgansdogtraining #golden

Or power team I should say…Whenever it’s safe to do so, Tyler, Scarlett, and Oliver will accompany me to my reactive dog lessons and help! So grateful to have this flexibility with our family. #family #dogtraining #reactive #reactivedog #postsidewalkpsycho #workinghard #gooddoggy

This dog looks a little funny 😂 had so much fun babysitting Syd the Wallaby last week. We started working on a “house” cue because he is allowed to roam during the day, and goes in his run at night. He did great and I can’t wait to continue his training! Not everyone knows this but I previously worked with zoo animals at wild adventures, and moved to Tallahassee to get my degree essentially for animal behavior. While in Tallahassee I worked at the Gulf Specimen Marine Lab, and St Francis Wildlife. I truly have a passion for all animals and originally wanted to work as an exotic animal trainer. I found out I had a passion for pets and their owners and that landed us where we are today! Hope you enjoy! P.S Nicholas works with animal tales and can bring these animals to your events!
