Would you believe me if I said I didn't actively teach my niece ANY of this? // My nieces are my world π 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 βοΈ
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 π―
In this video, you see Carlin do ALL the things I teach owners to do when trying to facilitate a more calm dog:
β
οΈ Only praise dog when in a state of mind you like (i.e., calm)
β
οΈ Pulling a reward away if they move out of their command (in this case "sit') or are too mouthy with their grab
β
οΈ Offering audible praise for a job well done
By training your dog, you are training your children how to respect dogs π©·
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?
π» Do you want them to realize what it means to be kind?
π» Do you want them to see what it looks like to follow through on their goals?
π» 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 π₯°

The sweetest "Good Morning" memory for heaven's newest angel πΌ
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 π
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 π₯Ί
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 βοΈ
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 π©· Heaven is the only place for angels like you πΎ
