Mentorship team @dreamdogacademyllc has been doing a fantastic job with our paw care goals.
This brief video features the acoustic stimuli of the dremel, followed by the grinding sound of a chopstick, as cues that predict food.
How adorable is Puggles, too?
Fantastic progress @dreamdogacademyllc - I feel lucky to be a small part of your care team.

Prescription wet dog food baked into treats per veterinary approval
Our sweet Vito began a prescription food trial last month to help us assess potential food allergies. Our fantastic veterinary team at West Loop Veterinary Care offered both dry and wet food options. We took both.
Per my request and their approval, Vito’s wet food is baked in fresh batches a few times per week to help create novelty, variety, and options.
So far he votes paws up!
Please consult your veterinarian about this option should it be of interest to you, too.
Not a sponsored post. Vito paid for these awesome bake molds with his own hard-earned cash.

KPA LIVE “Husbandry At Home” with Laura Monaco Torelli
So excited that this new exciting project that I worked hard on behind-the-scenes for months is available for another round!
The best part is that I get to showcase excellent training contributions by clients and colleagues in my new Karen Pryor Academy course, too. And the animals are brilliant teachers that guide us along the way.
I cannot wait to collaborate with new teams and learn from their excellent questions.
Registration opens February 22, 2024. We sure hope you can join us!

My Sweet Santino’s angel wings
A most beautiful surprise arrived in the mail.
Ever since Santino was a puppy, I’d rub his light-colored fur above each shoulder that looked like angel wings. And every single day, we would say his angel wings opened to stretch as he flew around the house when no one was home.
We would take long, slow sniff hikes together along Lake Michigan between Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, Field Musuem, up to Buckingham Fountain. The stunning Chicago skyline as our visual backdrop.
I miss Sonny so much that it physically aches. The constant lump in my throat as I catch my breath upon realizing that he’s no longer physically with me. Those that know this gift of a bond with their animal family members know the heartbreak.
Thank you to my dear friend, Julie Benson Pawsitively Inspired, for this gorgeous handcrafted gift. I’m so glad you knew my boy over the years. He loved to spend time with you at our training workshops.
Thank you for perfectly capturing my heart dog with his angel wings featuring the Chicago skyline, and his name along the bottom of the frame.
Video length: 1 minute, 32 seconds. The remote turns on the light variation sequence. Wait for the last light sequence… it makes his angel wings shine like the pulse of a heartbeat.
