Not sure if you remember...

I was working on an enrichment project for my dayCARE pups.

I needed 876 pieces or so I thought.
Miscalculated by A LOT!

4800 pieces needed. I am a dumb a$$! Oh well.

Back to cutting I go.

Can't stop now.
Won't stop now.
Every piece I cut, I am closer to reaching my goal.
Slow and steady wins the race.

It isn't our best photo, but we did get one from our pack walk this week. We had a LOT of distractions, and the location footing wasn't great. However, that's not what is important.

We enjoyed the quiet peaceful trail all to ourselves once we got going. The dogs did fantastic and we had 4 newbies. The pups were so quiet on the way back snoozing to the hum of the Waggin' Wagon and as you can see, Koda in front wanted to sleep right then and there. We were late getting back to the studio as we had no idea the traffic would be congested at that time of day. Lesson learned.

New Place
Beautiful wide trails
Lessons Learned
Happy Pups
Onward!

Our first 5th wheel and our first camping trip was a success. It was wondering being able to take all the dogs with us.

1. This is why I will have white dogs from now on. SO much easier to see.
2. One of the dogs is deaf.
3. I don't train in this environment. I trained looooong before this. Here I am reinforcing the behaviors I trained which are coming when called and check ins. Classes are on the website. www.pawsitiveconnectiondogtraining.com
4. Yes, if I call one, all come, even the deaf one.
5. Yes, I talk to the deaf one as if he can hear. My facial expression, body language and engery go a long way.

Happy 1st Snow Day!!!

It's our first field trip during Winter. We didn't do it last year, but this year we decided to give it a try. Our first day was a hit!

Your dog wanted me to remind you.....

-Get that toy you always thought about buying
-No, there are NEVER enough treats.
-Yes, I need a new collar
-There is no such thing as TOO MUCH dog stuff
-It's ok if you buy more for your dog than yourself
-Your pup only will live through so many more Black Fridays so spoil them now.

I am just the messenger.

Thanksgiving morning starts quiet and slow,
With my dog at my feet in the fire’s soft glow.
She leans on my leg as if to say,
“I’m thankful for you, every single day.”

In the kitchen she watches with calm, steady grace,
Warm light reflecting in her patient face.
She needs no words, no pleading paws—
Just love wrapped gently in soft, furry flaws.

When dinner begins and the table is full,
She curls beside me, peaceful and loyal.
One little treat, then a pat on her head—
A silent promise, tenderly said.

After the meal, in the cool evening air,
We stroll through leaves that whisper and flare.
She stops to gaze up, as if she knows—
These simple moments are the ones that glow.

And when night drapes quiet across the room,
She sighs in that way that melts all gloom.
Thanksgiving means many things, it’s true—
But the sweetest one is sharing it
With you.

Happy Thanksgiving to you ALL!
Please be careful around food with your pup around. Please let there be no ER visits today.

Take a moment to breathe. Take it all in. Love on your pup. The holidays together are numbered....cherish each and every one.

Is it just me or have you ever asked yourself why you buy expensive toys when a leaf will do the job?

Morning with Winnie
I pick up Winnie for her mum every chance I get. Her mom is in the military and can't get Winnie to dayCARE due to her work schedule. I drive right by her house so to put a little kindness into the world, I pick up Winnie. Since Winnie and I are together, we both think we should go through the drive-thru for a coffee with an extra shot and a cookie. Sometimes, Winnie gets a double too! Having a small dayCARE by design, let's me do THIS kind of stuff. I get to know my clients and build trust. We help each other out and eventually become friends. That's the good stuff!

I have signed up for photography lesson starting in December so I can get better photos of the Pack Walk Sit Stay. This one makes me so happy and inspires me to learn my camera better. I am so excited to get these on canvas and paint the studio with them. How do you like this stacking vs the line? We are playing around with configurations.
