June Bug the Border Collie is an adorably sweet dog who is learning to accept new challenges & build her overall confidence. Her eagerness to learn & utilize her brain power potential is quite impressive so I’m excited to see how her world expands with her new skillset.

This right here! ❤️
Tyler & his new GSD puppy Jax officially started their service dog training journey. Jax is 100% geared for the type of work he will be doing & is already off to great educational beginnings. I love this family & I’m elated to be a part of this new chapter for them. Seeing & sharing Tyler’s happiness yesterday was the highlight of my week. 🙌

Just before Hurricane Helene hit, Easter & her family were in town for a visit & fit in several training sessions. It was great to hear from Easter’s family last week checking on us & the training center, but also advising that Easter was doing so much better. I LOVE feedback guys, & I’ve been hearing such great things from so many of you lately.

Kylo is a stunning Fox Red Labrador puppy who stole my heart. He has worked so hard & put so much TRY into his training process. I’m really proud of this big guy for how much maturity, engagement, & overall confidence he has shown in such a short amount of time. His parents are so committed to ensuring his success they traveled from Atlanta to make this happen for him. I’m happy to say I’ll see Kylo again so we only said goodbye for now. 🫶

This little crew enjoyed welcoming back students today after an almost three week absence since Helene. Mavis, Julip, & Oliver brought lots of smiles & happily surprised faces. I love the work our schools are putting into ensuring positive transitions during this most monumental time.

We visited Station 1 today to thank some of our Waynesville Fire Department staff and Mazzy Star exuberantly delivered a card to Chief Mehaffey herself. To Chief Webb & the entire crew:
Our community acknowledges & appreciates your service not only during this most difficult week but every day. You guys work grueling hours in times of crisis, rise above the most terrible circumstances to help those in need, and bring comfort & hope upon your arrival to any scene. We know this week has been insanely difficult for all of our communities & especially horrendous for you as first responders, search & rescuers, & firefighters. Your service to our community does not go unnoticed & we thank you for being our everyday heroes.

There’s some sad & powerful scenes in our communities currently, but also countless moments of humbling, neighborly love. I’m proud to say that Waynesville is my hometown & also was for the four generations before me. These mountains & culture of WNC run deep through my soul & my heart has been broken by the devastation which surrounds us. I will be taking much of this week to volunteer. If any of our local shelters, care facilities, search teams, first responders or individuals could use an uplifting therapy dog visit, please reach out & hopefully I can make it happen. Although I am still without connectivity I am checking in on messages several times daily. If you are able, please get out to help someone in your community. My pack is sending so much love out there to all who need it right now. ❤️
Hug your pets, neighbors, & loved ones a little tighter this week. Three simple yet dramatically dynamic words on repeat …”you guys ok?” Together we will be! 🫶

The power of love & community! ❤️

Dixie & Woody are here visiting for a while & have been working on sharpening up overall obedience skills & overcoming reactivity. These two are such sweet, endearing dogs I have been enjoying them immensely, especially since I don’t see as many Whippets in our area.

Holly is an adorable Labrador puppy who has been participating in my Friday classes. Lessons finished on such a high note today as we were able to practice & apply the skills in public that we’ve been practicing behind the scenes. Today was a thing of beauty when dogs could lie next to one another calmly, ignore environmental distractions, & absorb priceless experiential learning. Hard work & patience truly pays off!

This little guy won my heart. I love the opportunity to train deaf dogs as I have a blind/deaf dog in my own pack and understand that positive communication is everything! Little Huck is off to a great start & he has a Mom dedicated to ensuring his needs are met by offering him a great foundation. The world’s your oyster little buddy, I look forward to watching you grow & progress. 🫶

I often ask people what their daily expectations are for their dog/s, which is not simply because expectations maintain healthy rules & boundaries.
I view expectations as consistent opportunities for dogs to make us proud, build confidence, & nurture our relationships. Dogs crave attention but more often than not I recognize humans being reactive vs. proactive. When we react/reinforce what we dislike more than praise what we like, then our communication is just the opposite of what we are trying to relay. Are you struggling with achieving consistency in positive behavior or feeling your relationship has become an impasse?
Be mindful & assess if the energy you offer your dog is nurturing the dynamic you want, or predominately being reactive to what you dislike.

PROACTIVE =
*setting up positive training scenarios focused on behaviors that you desire
*remembering to acknowledge your dog for making good choices
*practicing good leadership for your dog to follow
*creating balance to meet individual needs
*implementing boundaries, schedules & routines your dog can count on
*focusing on short successful sessions (your follow through & patience is what promote success)
*consistency in expectation

REACTIVE=
*saying “No” more than you say “yes”
*jumping to frustration & loosing your cool
*assuming your dog may know & has generalized the behavior you are requesting
*allowing the dog’s behavior to control yours
*giving up before your dog is successful
*having ever changing expectations

Meet Picasso, one of my most treasured matches! Several months ago I helped this guy from a local rescue find his perfect home. Picasso is one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet but was overlooked by many potential adopters likely because of his jaw deformity. It was love at first sight for his forever family & his uniqueness only sealed the deal. I’m happy to say he has already won over many hearts with his adorable personality & he’s now living a huge life for such a little guy. Matchmaking is one of my favorite services because of my affinity for rescue & knowing the joy that comes with sharing life with dogs. I’m loving seeing all the happiness Picasso brings not only to his family but to everyone he meets. ❤️🐾🫶
