Our “Around the Farm” class graduated last week after tackling and conquering every challenge life around a farm faces you with from noisy tractors to nosy goats, to fiesty horses and flighty chickens! These teams were incredible!

We had such a fun class practicing all their skills outside of our indoor and outdoor “classrooms.”

If you are looking to take your dogs, training skills up a level or refresh their current advanced skills, reach out!

We will only be offering this class one more time this summer!

A glimpse into yesterdays Intermediate Obedience class.

These dogs are all PUPPIES under a year of age, many of them barely 6 months. They are recent graduates from Puppy Class that moved on to practice their skills in our outside classroom.

Piper is demonstrating a beautiful down stay with tremendous distractions; her owner walking away to greet another person and puppy while she continues to stay, and the other puppy/owner team practicing polite, greetings of a friendly person.

I’m so thankful for my students and love to see the fruit of their work blossom.

Teaching responsible, respectful and compassionate care of animals begins with our children.

Brady joined our farm sanctuary many years ago with significant behavioral issues; veterinary care, training and the promise he would always know kindness and love transformed this fiesty red head into the child loving horse he is today.

Emma would like to thank everyone who comes to a training class, or makes a donation to our sanctuary, for the new life she has been given!

We often say that everyone who supports our humane education classes, supports our mission to care for those who are overlooked, abandoned, and unwanted.

Emma, a petite and elderly Rottweiler, is just one of those souls after being left on the side of the highway in Georgia. By all accounts, she has had a very rough life; the first time we swatted a bug near her, she dropped to the ground screaming in fearful anticipation.

Her body shows evidence of having had multiple litters, and when we brought her in to be spayed, it was discovered she had hundreds of splenic nodules all through her abdomen from a traumatic and untreated rupture of her spleen.

Because of your support, we are able to provide sanctuary to animals like Emma, and to provide the care she needs and deserves. This weeks she visited Team Cardio at Massachusetts Veterinary Referral Hospital for diagnostics, and was treated with the kindness and compassion that will fill every day she has left.

We could not provide for residents, like Emma, if it weren’t for your support…

 With gratitude,
Andria

A glimpse from last nights Intermediate Obedience class.

These stars with four legs worked on leave its, distraction stays, leash walking with bonus challenges, and rotating sit stays for petting! They are all doing amazing!

Does the girl in the wheelchair look familiar? That was me (Andria) after I suffered a severe anoxic brain injury 32 years ago today; how fitting that my Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) occurred in March, Brain Injury Awareness Month. Every year I share this picture of myself and my beloved Rottweiler Service Dog, Silver, to bring awareness not only to the invisible nature of brain injuries but the incredible healing power of animal assisted activities (AAA).

While I spent three years in a wheelchair and six years in conventional rehabilitation therapy, it was not until I began therapeutic horseback riding that I made tremendous strides in relearning how to walk. If it were not for the animal assisted activities my mother sought out at a time when riding a horse while wheelchair bound was considered radical, at best, and Rottweilers as Service Dogs was simply unheard of, I would never have achieved the tremendous recovery that AAA facilitated for me. It is with this deep appreciation for the far reaching benefits of animal assisted activities that we offer therapeutic horseback riding lessons (temporarily paused) and Service Dog training from our Unmistaken Stars Farm Sanctuary.

While post-injury medical care and rehabilitation protocols have improved dramatically over the past 30 years, prevention remains the best cure for a brain injury. I hope you will join with me in committing to protect, whenever possible, the only brain you have --- if not for yourself then for those who love you because a brain injury does not just effect the survivor, it impacts the whole family.

If you are not local to us, please do not hesitate to be in touch for a referral to a credentialed AAA provider in your area.

Did you hear SPRING is coming?

We are excited to be soon offering outdoor classes again! We currently have one spot left in our INTERMEDIATE OBEDIENCE class starting this Thursday evening.

With the longer days now upon us, this class will be outside as much as weather permits to allow for many unique training challenges; if you have completed our puppy or beginner class, this would be the next step for you and your dog!

Edit: Awesome guesses everyone! Abe is indeed Malinois and German Shepherd combined with Anatolian Shepherd!

Some Saturday morning fun! Guess that breed, or rather three breeds!

Abe is made up of THREE breeds with whom one would not expect to see a child at the end of the leash.

This team and family deserve tremendous recognition for fully embracing positive reinforcement training, and taking a high drive puppy with the attention span of a hummingbird, and transforming him into a calm, focused, working dog without force, fear or harsh equipment.

What breeds do you think Abe is?

I look forward to seeing you all again for CGC and agility! 💫

If Louis looks like he’s almost 3’ tall, that’s because he is!! And at nearly 140lbs of exuberant adolescent intact male energy, he is a sight to behold!

Louis is blessed to have owners who are committed to positive reinforcement science based training; just because he’s a giant working breed dog, doesn’t mean he needs a heavier hand or harsher training equipment.

As the old adage says,

“Train with your brain, not your braun…”
