Would you believe me if I said I didn't actively teach my niece ANY of this? // My nieces are my world 🌎 With that being the case, I bring them into mine as frequently as I can, whether training a dog or cleaning my apartment on a Sunday ☀️
They will be posted up on my couch watching Bluey (or so I'll think) to later find the real-life Bluey--my aussie cattle mix - and how I interact with her is what was really captivating their attention 😯
In this video, you see Carlin do ALL the things I teach owners to do when trying to facilitate a more calm dog:
✅️ Only praise dog when in a state of mind you like (i.e., calm)
✅️ Pulling a reward away if they move out of their command (in this case "sit') or are too mouthy with their grab
✅️ Offering audible praise for a job well done
By training your dog, you are training your children how to respect dogs 🩷
This is more than a post about dog training. This is a post about how we show up in the world:
People are listening to / watching you, what do you want them to learn from doing so?
🌻 Do you want them to realize what it means to be kind?
🌻 Do you want them to see what it looks like to follow through on their goals?
🌻 Do you want them to know how to better respect others?
Be the change you want to see in your children, your home, your dog, your workplace, your family, & your world.
I bet it will be a lot more beautiful if you did 🥰

Are you kidding me? How sweet is that!
The sweetest "Good Morning" memory for heaven's newest angel 👼
I got a call last night from Miley's dad that she had to be put down on Tuesday. I stayed sympathetic for the 4 minute conversation, but as soon as we hung up, I immediately lost it in front of my sister & her two hair clients 😭
I have watched Miley at least one weekend of every month for probably 4 or 5 years. I would venture to say that Miley is the dog I have done the most 1 hour visits with since starting my business 🥺
With that being said, it should be no surprise that I have SO MANY memories of Miley's side-curtsey, hill-rolling to scratch her back, snuggles right under my chin, & fighting to get her to want to come in from the sun in the backyard during these last few months because it was her happy place ☀️
I watched my full "Miley & Ruby" highlight last night in an effort to replace my relentless sadness with heart warming memories. It worked & then I woke up this morning to the realization that Miley won't be there when I watch Ruby 3 weeks from today.
This will be a hard pill to swallow since Miley was (will forever remain) a staple of Handful of Leashes & my heart. However, I am so glad to have some Miley-isms picked up by her spry little sister Ruby Blue to help keep her memory alive.
I love you SO SO SO much, Smiley Miley 🩷 Heaven is the only place for angels like you 🐾
