Everyone who is thinking of getting dogs should read this because you need to understand this reality:

***I am a 21st century dog.***
-I'm a Malinois.
Overskilled among dogs, I excel in all disciplines and I'm always ready to work: I NEED to work.
But nowadays I get asked to chill on the couch all day everyday.

-I am an Akita Inu.
My ancestors were selected for fighting bears.
Today I get asked to be tolerant and I get scolded for my reactivity when another approaches me.

-I am a Beagle.
When I chase my prey, I raise my voice so the hunters could follow.
Today they put an electric collar on me to shut up, and you make me come back to you - no running - with a snap of your fingers.

-I am a Yorkshire Terrier.
I was a terrifying rat hunter in English mines.
Today they think I can't use my legs and they always hold me in their arms.

-I'm a Labrador Retriever.
My vision of happiness is a dive into a pond to bring back the duck he shot to my master.
Today you forget I'm a walking, running, swimming dog; as a result I'm fat, made to stay indoors, and to babysit.

-I am a Jack Russell.
I can take on a fox, a mean badger, and a rat bigger than me in his den.
Today I get scolded for my character and high energy, and forced to turn into a quiet living room dog.

-I am a Siberian Husky.
Experienced the great, wide open spaces of Northern Europe, where I could drag sleds for long distances at impressive speeds.
Today I only have the walls of the house or small garden as a horizon, and the holes I dig in the ground just to release energy and frustration, trying to stay sane.

-I am a border collie
I was made to work hours a day in partnershipwith my master, and I am an unmistakable artist of working with the herd.
Today they are mad at me because, for lack of sheep, I try to check bikes, cars, children in the house and everything in motion.

I am ...
I am a 21st century dog.
I'm pretty, I'm alert, I'm obedient, I stay in a bag...but I'm also an individual who, from centuries of training, needs to express my instincts, and I am *not* suited for the sedentary life you'd want me to lead.
Spending eight hours a day alone in the house or in the garden - with no work and no one to play or run with, seeing you for a short time in the evening when you get home, and only getting a small toilet walk will make me deeply unhappy.
I'll express it by barking all day, turning your yard into a minefield, doing my needs indoors, being unmanageable the rare times I'll find myself outside, and sometimes spending my days sunk, sad, lonely, and depressed, on my pillow.
You may think that I should be happy to be able to enjoy all this comfort while you go to work, but actually I’ll be exhausted and frustrated, because this is absolutely NOT what I'm meant to do, or what I need to be doing.
If you love me, if you've always dreamed of me, if my beautiful blue eyes or my athletic look make you want me, but you can't give me a real dog's life, a life that's really worth living according to my breed, and if you can't offer me the job that my genes are asking, DO NOT buy or adopt me!
If you like the way I look but aren't willing to accept my temperament, gifts, and traits derived from long genetic selection, and you think you can change them with only your good will, then DO NOT BUY OR ADOPT ME.
I’m a dog from the 21st century, yes, but deep inside me, the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who pulled sleds, the one who guided and protected a herd still lives within.
So think **very** carefully before you choose your dog. And think about getting two, rather than one, so I won't be so very lonely waiting for you all day. Eight or ten hours is just a workday to you, but it's an eternity for me to be alone.

Meet Wiggles & Lady!

I love receiving requests for less common furry members!! Started off the visit giving them their breakfast of fresh spinach leaves and pellets, and then refreshing their water bowl, scooping their bedding, and then some grass pellets for their rooting boxes!

DID YOU KNOW? Rooting boxes allow indoor pigs to fulfill their mental encrichment for the day! It allows them to exercise their mind and not exhibit destructive habits due to boredom!

Last year I had the opportunity to walk Bert a few times when he was just a 3 month old puppy!! (Swipe to the last photo for little Bert!)

Last weekend, we had a sleepover and had a fun outing to Furdunkin’s “Food Trucks Fur Pups” event! He was more eager for the food trucks than potential new doggie friends! 🐾

Many people think a chubby pet is cute and a lean pet is not being fed enough, but studies show that a pet with a healthy weight lives an average of 3 years longer than an overweight pet. Don't focus on weight - focus on body condition!

Meet 𝔽𝕦𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕣! Short clip of my daily walk regular, as we work on his reactivity during walks, by giving eye contact. This command can be trained by using the key words, “watch me” or “look”. Officially hitting month 2 of training, and now every time I stop and the leash tightens, and he knows to come back, sit and give eye contact! Way to go, Fuller!! 🎉 #1 key of training is getting a dog to listen on command, and realizing “oh hey, there’s a person on the other end of the leash I need to pay attention to” which can be accomplished by giving eye contact! Fun Fact: I had the opportunity to become an amateur trainer while volunteering at a shelter in college! As a “Pet Partner” we were responsible for working with our shelter pup at least 1x/week on basic commands and 1x/month we would take them on outings to parks, our homes, and the college campus to introduce them to new environments and better prepare them for the big world!

A fun day walking the grounds of Buchanan Park! A friendly reminder to carry water along for your furry friend during your spring & summer walks! 🐕: Pep

Sunshine and 70+ degree walks are more my tempo than 40s and rain…however, I do enjoy adventure pup walks on the trail! 🐕: Polly

It hasn’t been the smoothest ride, but I have been learning from my mistakes as I go, and to make 2022 as flawless as possible! In the new year, I aim to connect more with the community in order to provide superior referrals to clients of various pet care professionals! Possible future services offered: Dog running, light training sessions.
