Join Ollie and Gerry-Anna on a passive socialization field trip to .

Ollie is a 5 month and he is very sensitive to noises and new environments. Even though he is a friendly guy he usually barks first and asks questions later 😆.

My only goal here is to expose him to a new busy place without completely overwhelming him. And I think we succeeded 🤗

Looking to avoid a vet visit this Thanksgiving? Here’s some foods your pups can and can’t have this holiday season!

Because nothing ruins a holiday faster than a vet visit.

✅ Safe “YES” Foods (in moderation)

🟢 Plain turkey meat (no skin, no bones)
🟢 Plain mashed sweet potato (no butter, marshmallows, or spices)
🟢 Plain pumpkin purée (NOT pie filling)
🟢 Green beans (fresh or frozen, no casseroles)
🟢 Plain carrots
🟢 Apples without seeds or core
🟢 Plain cooked rice
🟢 Small amounts of plain bread (no dough, no mix-ins)

⸻

❌ Dangerous “NO” Foods — Avoid Completely

🔴 Alcohol
🔴 Caffeinated beverages
🔴 Dairy (including eggnog)
🔴 Turkey skin, bones, or drippings
🔴 Stuffing & casseroles (onions, garlic, fat, seasonings)
🔴 Nutmeg
🔴 Yeast dough
🔴 Chocolate & candy
🔴 Mashed potatoes with butter/cream, gravy, or anything heavily seasoned
🔴 Grapes & raisins
🔴 Onions, garlic, leeks, chives
🔴 Cranberry sauce (too much sugar)
🔴 Pies (apple, pumpkin, sweet potato — fillings and spices are risky)
🔴 Fruit with pits (peaches, plums, cherries, etc.)
🔴 Macadamia nuts & most mixed nuts
🔴 Wild mushrooms
🔴 Cornbread (often contains butter, fat, sugar, or onion mix-ins)
🔴 Salty snacks

If it’s seasoned, sugary, creamy, buttery, or belongs in a casserole, your dog doesn’t need it!

Happy Thanksgiving and keep those pups safe! 🦃 🐶🧡

Snapped this photo from my first session with Pierrot the cavalier puppy. He is so lucky that the older dog in the home loves him and doesn’t mind letting him snuggle up for naps. 🥹 it is the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long time!!!

Adding a puppy to the home with an existing senior dog can be a risky move. Sometimes if goes well and perks up the senior but many times it adds a lot of stress and strain to the existing dogs routine.

If you are considering the addition of a puppy to your existing pets, definitely set things up with lots of management from the beginning to make things go as smoothly as possible. We’re always here to consult about it too if you want some help!

Ever wonder what we do with a van full of dogs on a training field trip? Here you go!

Alumni pup Andi accompanied us on a historic walking tour of downtown and was SUCH a good girl.

Andi has always been a little nervous in new places but her parents have been taking her on adventures and working on her training skills since the beginning. Their hard work is paying off!

Andi was an A student on the tour and was able to calmly chill on her mat during each stop. She received several compliments and we were so proud. 🤗
