Getting two pets to be friends let alone tolerate one another isn’t as easy as many people hope - even if they are the same age and enter the home at the same time. But this client is putting in the work 💪 and is off to a heartwarming start 😍. With training for all parties and careful management, these two are adorable playmates.

They are both 5 months old and Oberon (🐱) is likely to be nearly twice as big as Mabel (🐶) as an adult.

Toot toot it’s the Testimonial train 🚂! We’ve decided to start sharing some of the client emails and reviews that get us through the tough days. Not just because we want to toot our own horn (which we do because it’s positive reinforcement ☺️)

But more importantly, it gives you an insight into the type of work we do and the results we are looking for! Sometimes behavior modification and training are hard to picture. But dogs like Junie and her mom are a great example of the changes training can make to quality of life for humans and pets 🐶🐱
P.S I downloaded a cartoonify app so this gives me an excuse to use it on our clients 🤣

Share the love! 💕 We are always asked for recommendations for pet professionals and they are a hot commodity! As everyone knows, it’s not a one size fits all, so the more options we have, the more able we are to find the right match for location and needs of our client. If you like yours, DM, text, or email is their info and why you like them!

On Thursday the animal behavior community lost Karen Pryor. She wrote “Don’t Shoot the Dog: The New Art of Teaching and Training” which brought positive reinforcement and clicker training into the hands out household trainers. It’s probably the #1 most recommended book to read if you’re interested in training. She also started the Karen Pryor Academy (KPA) to teach novices and professionals to clicker train.

If you’re browsing trainers and you see KPA on their bio, that’s a good cue that they are positive reinforcement trainer. While Amy and I haven’t been that specific program yet, it’s one we certainly acknowledge and look for when evaluating suitable referrals.

If your goals for 2025 include learning more about training or communicating with your own dog, give it. Read! I included a photo excerpt from the book so you can see how well written and easy to understand it is!

Me joining a zoom meeting not realizing I have Christmas ribbon stuck in my hair 😵‍💫🫣.

Jk this pup is actually just so focused on his training he is unphased by his leash eye patch. He’s practicing different place/tether set ups so he’s ready for Christmas Guests!

Feels like we fell back to the bottom (and then some). But we’re still looking up. Love your pets and your people this week 💕

Sometimes a red flag 🚩 is actually a green flag 💚 !

These neighbors use flags to let each other know when their dogs are in the backyard.
🐶🐶🐶🏡🏡🐶🐶
They both have dogs who likes to run along and bark at one another through the fence.

They are both working with us on reducing this behavior. In the meantime, the flags help them prevent the dogs from rehearsing the behavior when they aren’t ready to train! If one neighbor sees the flag up on the other neighbor’s side, they’ll wait to bring their dogs out until the flag is removed!

It’s a small gesture that makes a huge difference!

I tried to get Canva AI to create an image of kitten kindergarten and this is what it came up with.
Much like advice from the internet, AIs picture gets more disturbing the more you look at it. Swipe to see what kitten kindergarten is ACTUALLY all about. 🤣

If you want an outgoing kitten who is comfortable at the vet and meeting new people, kitten kindergarten is the place for you!

We are holding kitten kindergarten at VCA Briarcliff starting September 18th! If you have a kitten that will be between 7 and 14 weeks of age at that time, sign em up on our website under classes!

Reach out over email or DM if you have any questions or concerns!

Happy Paralympics Opening Ceremonies day! Fun Fact: Amy and I met at Flowdog (a dog physical rehab facility in Boston - thanks Chris 😌). I was an aide and Amy/Rory were Client/Patient! Flowdog was bought by MSPCA-Angell where I continued to work as a rehab aide until I moved to GA. The rest is Behave history 🥹.

Doggie PT is one of the most rewarding and heartwarming jobs (even if you are in and out of a wetsuit all day and dogs p**p in the pool). If your dog or cat has aches and pains it’s a great way to help them feel better and spend time with them!

So anyways, cheer on the Paralympians for the next two weeks when it’s too hot for walks!

If your pet was in the Olympics what sport would they compete in? Hiko would be in rugby 🏉 🐶. Please excuse me while I make the Olympics my whole personality this week. 😬. But for real, comment your pet and their sport or share videos we can reshare! We will be awarding gold medals.

Our lovely client rescued Rocky after he was abandoned by another tenant in her building. She’s fostering him while trying to find his forever home. ⁠
💕⁠
“He never had much positive interaction with humans, dogs or other cats in his former home. It’s a sad history of neglect for this poor cat. He is proving to be very resilient so far. He will bring someone much joy. “⁠
🥹⁠
He is affectionate and each day he is gaining confidence and trust. He is not fazed with having my dog around him. He is coming out of his shell little by little. Had a neighbor stop by to visit him and he responded to her instead of curling up and ignoring her. Progress!”⁠

Our group classes are not just for exposure to other dogs or to make our lives easier by teaching many people at once. We use the presence of other dogs and learners to help you learn how to read body language, assess interactions between dogs, and learn how to work through the challenges that arise when you head out into the world together. ⁠
⁠
Sure, there’s also the structured and positive experience your dog gets from being around other dogs, but that’s just one benefit among many! ⁠
⁠
Sign up now for August classes at the link in our bio or on the website or email us. Spots limited so get in there!⁠

Was reviewing video from a Friday session and am just SO proud of Marvin and his family in this clip! We were working on him showing relaxed behavior near another dog (off screen to the right). But OF COURSE FedEx had to roll in 🙄. Not only did he cope with the person and the dog at once, but when it became too much - they slammed the truck door- he chose to walk away! 🥳🎉🎊 His usual MO is to bark and lunge, so this is a big step. It also shows that the bark and lunge was caused by fear, because now when he slows down his reaction and thinks, he moves away not towards. Also I would have muted myself bc 😳 but I wanted the audio of the truck to be present. So please excuse my yapping. #positivevibes #rplustraining #reactive #behaviormodification #ccpdtka #acaab #pitbull #rescue #gooddog #atlantapups

We are always prepared for some level of risk bc we work with animals. But rarely do we expect to be involved in a shark attack! This Tuesday was a close call for Destiny & Lillian and it’s not even Shark Week! 🦈🫣 . . . . #positivereinforcementtraining #rplusdogs #gooddogs #sharkattack #rescuedogs #fostertoadopt #fosterparents #sleepydog
