Whether you have a working dog or a companion animal remember, they are your partner. Take care of their physical AND mental wellbeing.

To all the rescue workers, human and canine alike, thank you for everything you did, everything you do and everything you will do💕

Training is NOT about dominating your dog. It’s about building a strong bond through trust and cooperation. This is abuse.

This post refers to human children but it’s the same for your pets. Mistakes will be made but they can always be fixed. Asking for help when training is the first step to a long lasting, rewarding relationship with your pet.

I just witnessed a boy, maybe about 6 or 7, accidentally spill a slushee everywhere in Target. I didn't get a photo but I'm including one of my son and I. I'm talking blue and red goop all over the floor, the table, everywhere. The boy looked up at who I assume was his father, and immediately apologized. Instead of getting angry, his father just said 'Hey, it happens. Let's go get napkins and I can show you how to clean it up.' Then they calmly went to get napkins and then he helped him clean the entire mess. Then, as they were throwing the napkins away, the father said to his son, 'You're going to be a human being for a long time, and you have such a smart brain that it's important you learn how to be more aware of what you're doing. So next time just be sure to pay more attention to your surroundings so accidents like this don't happen. Accidents like these can be prevented, but it's still okay if they happen. As long as you take responsibility for your mistakes, the clean up is a breeze. I know big messes seem overwhelming and you might feel like you can't do it by yourself, but it's always okay to ask for help. There is no problem with asking for help when you need it.'

I have no words. That is parenting done right.

If you choose to bring a border collie into your home, remember that this is what their genetics crave. Border collies are not meant to sit in your backyard or in your living room and if you don’t exercise their mind, you are going to have issues.

This is far, far truer than many realise or want to realise.

Do you see this around you? How do you best filter it?

For me it’s awareness and non participation.

Those purely negative for no other reason than to be negative conversations are not on my list of things to do.

A conversation that may include something negative within it as a discussion point to resolve something, work through it, find a solution, sit with it and alchemise it to a positive, accept that it is present but not accept that it is all that is present, is a different thing.

It’s one very small example of how we easily become what we allow.

Hugs 🥰

Probably one of the most commonly confused body language signals. A tail wag is simply arousal, excitement which can come from both positive and negative emotions. . . .
