Everyday I question how I got so lucky with this dog.
Yeah I know having a dog with some previous INTENSE reactivity most people wouldn’t consider lucky, but she’s changed my life in so many ways. I love this dog more than anything.

Just a little still with me and princess K other day. And to be quite honest I did not want to film so you know what I didn’t.
This is a little captures Kala checking in on me. To be honest I didn’t have any social media for a very long time until was Doug related stuff. And I think as a business owner we have a lot of pressure to be consistent and really utilize social media to help grow our business and so that people can see especially with dogs what we’re really doing and how we show love and care towards them.
I think some thing that we do all have to remember is that, yeah consistency is key with social media to helping grow and helping educate everyone on dogs but it is 1000% OK to take a step back and take a minute if you’re a little bit drained.

You can’t take the dog out of your dog.
I talk about this all the time I understanding the breed that you’re getting. Kala is a previously extremely reactive backyard bred German shepherd. No matter how well trained she is there are going to be times where she will be a bit reactive. BUT SHES A GERMAN SHEPHERD. Her job instinctively is to guard. But she has an incredible off switch at this point.
That’s why even know I’m so outspoken about when we mess up. Because as trainers, handlers, dog parents we get so down on ourselves when our dogs react, disobey a command, or flat out blow us off. They’re animals. Living breathing animals, we can’t control everything and that’s OKAY.
You and your dog are doing great. Don’t forget it.

2021 was an amazing year.
And I know you guys are going to go wtf. Listen, plenty of bad has happened to everyone. We’ve for sure had our fair share of struggles, but that’s not what I’m here to focus on. If I did, I’d be a pool of depression.
This year, I officially started the business. Far surpassed my business goals for this year all thanks to you guys. Started pioneering. Became an aunt for the first time to not a dog lol. Met so many incredible humans and dogs. Have made friends with some of my biggest inspirations. Was able to stay mostly healthy. Have amazing people in my life that are supportive, loving and keep me grounded.
So was this year what I expected? No I don’t think it was what anyone expected. I’m so grateful for it and I love you all so much.

I think about this dog I met in Mexico all the time.
She was a Mali mix or maybe even a pure Mali. A street dog. She didn’t trust humans right away and hunted for her fish.
That entire day all I did was try to gain the trust of this dog. Literally for hours I just sat by her and waited for her to come to me. When she finally did, I gave her some food and she gave me a kiss and then came with me to meet all my family.
It was the first day I really understood dogs don’t need us. We need them. She was happy, self sufficient didn’t even need my affection, but I needed her. I missed Kala so much. I missed having a pup by my side.
What’s the point of this? Well, to treat your dogs how they want to be treated. Not how we want to treat them. Maybe they don’t want you to constantly be up their butt and cuddling them. Maybe sometimes they just want to be a dog. That’s all.

That feeling of accomplishment when you do something new with your pup!
I could be something big like hiking a new summit, or something big like waking past a dog with NO reaction.
You might think that’s not a big deal, but for some people it really is! Don’t discount someone’s win because you don’t understand it. And don’t compare your pup who’s reactive to someone’s pup who can hike and do these things. You’ll get there, I promise 😊

Just me and my gal Riles
Fun fact if you guys don’t know, there’s such a thing as a working long dog and show line dog. and depending on what you want on your dog that’s going to make a really big difference.
Take a lab for instance, if you want more of a relax chill take them on a walk hang out with the family kind of lab that he might want to go to Shoreline if you want a working lab which is exactly what the name applies to do sport to do maybe gun or anything like that they are high energy they want to work they’re not gonna enjoy sitting on the couch with you until they are completely tired out.
So when looking for a dog this is really a big thing to look into because depending on what you want from it is kind of line that you’re gonna get.

You know when you meet your influences and your slightly terrified that they won’t be as great as you hoped?
I can say from the bottom of my heart that’s not the case with . My time actually being at Fenrir felt like being apart of a family from day one. Definitely helped me think about my future in dog training and how to be better for my pups and clients.
So guys always tag your role models when you repost them, because they might actually be your friend one day 😭

Every dog is not going to fit HUMAN Standards of a good dog.
OK but like what does that even mean? So we as people have put these unrealistic standards on animals that do not come from the human world because they are animals. we naturally expect The dogs are just going to fall in line with our way of living and being friendly to absolutely everyone they meet and having perfect obedience. But unfortunately that is not the case for most dogs. We put so many expectations on our dog that are nearly impossible to be fulfilled without our guidance and that’s not cool on our part.
As a society in general we need to do better with training our dogs And understanding why we should train our dogs. As dog trainers we need to do better at educating the people on the fact that tool should not be demonized and they help our dog owners understand what’s expected of them.
Just as much of a Puppy fan as I am an Eileen fan 😂
