Meet Frankie! 🐶 A sweet, 1 year old Terrier mix bursting with energy and curiosity! His owner is starting a hands on training journey to channel that zest into reliable skills!

We'll cover basics like sit, down, stay, and recall, leash manners and polite greetings, impulse control (waiting at doors, leaving food/toys, calm settling), socialization with people and dogs, and mental enrichment through games and puzzle toys!

Training will be short and consistent (5 15 minute sessions), using positive reinforcement, and including simple homework so the owner can practice confidently at home!

To cap it off, Frankie and myself will take a supervised field trip to parks and other public spots to proof recall, loose leash walking, and polite behavior around real life distractions.. helping Frankie gain clarity and confidence while making life easier (and more fun) for his owner!! 🎉🦴🌳

Did you know September is also Pain Awareness Month for animals? Dogs often hide pain, so paying attention can make a huge difference. 🐶❤️

Did you know:
- Dogs mask pain to avoid appearing vulnerable, small changes matter.
- Watch for behavior shifts: less play, more sleeping, irritability, or hiding.
- Limping, trouble jumping into cars or onto furniture, slowed stairs, or favoring a leg are red flags.
- Changes in appetite, whining, licking a spot obsessively, or avoiding touch can signal pain.
- Older dogs may show pain as confusion, house training accidents, or reduced interest in walks.

Quick dog owner checklist:
- Trust your gut, call the vet if something seems off.
- Keep routine care: checkups, vaccines, dental cleanings, and parasite prevention.
- Make the home easier: ramps, non slip rugs, low entry beds, and elevated bowls.
- Talk to your vet about pain management: meds, physical rehab, weight control, and joint supplements.
- Update microchip info and ID tags so your pup can get home safely if stressed or injured.

Share to help other dog owners spot pain early and keep pups happy and comfortable. 🐾

- Work on basic training and socializing (positive vibes only).
- Feed age appropriate food and watch their weight. Follow the feeding instructions on the bag, don’t google feeding instructions!
- Secure your yard and leash up in public.
- Pick up p**p and follow local rules.
- Put together a small pet first aid kit and copies of records.
