Happy Thanksgiving 🧡
As I reflect on this year, I’m deeply grateful for the clients, dogs, and community who make Paws the Attitude possible. Thank you for trusting me with your pups, welcoming me into your homes, and allowing me to support your training goals. It is an honor to be part of your lives and your dogs’ growth.

This has been a year of big transitions for me personally, including moving and rebuilding routines, and I want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported me through those changes. Your patience, understanding, flexibility, and continued trust meant more than you’ll ever know. You allowed me to keep doing what I love during a time when life felt very different, and I’m truly grateful.

Working with so many wonderful families has reminded me how powerful consistency, patience, and compassion truly are. Every dog learns at their own pace, and every small victory—no matter how tiny—deserves to be celebrated. I’m grateful for clients who show up, ask questions, put in the work, and stay committed even when things feel challenging. That dedication is what helps dogs thrive.

I’m also thankful for the dogs themselves. Each one brings their own personality, history, and needs, and they teach me something new every day. Their progress, confidence, and joy are the heart of this work.

As we head into the holiday season, I want to gently remind everyone to give your dogs grace. Keep their routines as consistent as possible, offer plenty of enrichment, and remember that training isn’t just about manners—it’s about communication, trust, and meeting their emotional and mental needs. Even a few minutes a day can make a difference.

Thank you again for being part of this community and for valuing your dogs’ well-being. I appreciate each and every one of you, and I’m grateful for the privilege of doing what I love—especially in a year of growth and change.

Wishing you and your pets a warm, safe, and peaceful holiday.

We hired Paws the Attitude because our Cavapoo girl needed potty training, follow commands and stop running away when we called her. Jess is amazing! She is happy, kind and firm. Dixie loves her and we are so proud of Dixie, she is trained. Jess trained My family and I. We recommend Paws the attitude to our friends, family and you!I am so grateful I found them!

"Be consistent, not perfect."

Dogs don't need perfection, they need consistency. The same cue, tone, and follow-through each time helps them learn faster and with less confusion. It's better to be 80% consistent than 100% perfect once in a while!

“The Stockton Animal Shelter, with the help of our testing partners, has found a case of Streptococcus Zooepidemicus, also known as “Strep Zoo” within the shelter population.

As a result, the Stockton Animal Shelter is taking immediate action to ensure the safety of our animal population at the Shelter and in the community. All stray intake and adoptions will be temporarily halted for the next 14 days, 10/17/2025 through 10/31/2025. The Animal Shelter will reopen for normal business hours 11/1/2025. During this time, we will also be doing a full, thorough disinfecting of the facility to prevent any further spread.

If you find a stray animal during the closure, here’s how you can help:

• Post flyers in your neighborhood.
• Share the found pet on social media and community pages.
• Contact Stockton Animal Services at 209-937-7445 to schedule an appointment to bring the animal in after the quarantine period ends.

When I first met Maisie, her excitement got the best of her... she’d jump and mouth her mom whenever someone came to the door. It left her mom feeling unsure about how to handle those moments.
Now? These two have been putting in the work! We’ve been building Mom’s confidence and Maisie’s patience, and it’s paying off. We are seeing calmer greetings, better focus, and teamwork that shines. 🌟

🐾 Remembering the 9/11 Working Dogs 🐾

As we reflect on September 11th, we honor not only the human heroes, but also the more than 300 working dogs who served at Ground Zero.

These dogs searched through rubble, guided rescue teams, and brought comfort to exhausted first responders. They worked tirelessly alongside their handlers, offering hope when it was needed most.

Some became legends: Bretagne, the golden retriever who searched tirelessly and later became a therapy dog for survivors; and Sirius, the loyal police K9 who gave his life that day. Their stories, and those of so many others, remind us of the incredible bond between people and dogs—a bond built on trust, devotion, and love.

That same bond is alive in the dogs who share our homes today. While they may never face the rubble of a disaster, their loyalty, comfort, and joy remind us daily of the gifts dogs bring to our lives.

Today, we remember and honor those canine heroes, their handlers, and all the lives they touched. 🕊️🐾
