Congratulations to “Baloo” & “Luna” as well as their families for completing the ✨AKC STAR Puppy Program✨this past weekend at Discover Your Dog!

We had an eventful 6 weeks, from confidence and relationship building to setting the stage for continued obedience!

This pair of biological Great Pyrenese mix siblings (owned in different homes) TRIPLED in size throughout their program! Training begins the moment you bring a new puppy home but especially when you know that puppy may one day outweigh you…..

PUPDATE!
“Artichoke” (fka Bruno) from the Newington Animal Control has made INCREDIBLE progress in the short time I have had him. He is a poster child for dogs presenting with behavioral issues while behind a shelter fence. Animal control officers truly do everything in their power to provide the best for the dogs in their care. The unfortunate reality is that the shelter environment alone can bring out big feelings that would not present otherwise making them view poorly to potential adopters.

We visited Mystic Village yesterday afternoon and it was definately more crowded than expected but we went in with a plan as always. To be honest, I expected set backs, reactivity, etc.
“Arti” absolutely blew me away. He made dozens of human friends including my 5 year old sister Meadow, passed his ball to anyone who was willing to give him a toss, walked through busy crowds, observed other leashed dogs and small animals (ducks & squirrels), and even sat patiently during an outdoor lunch at a public restaurant. Throughout the entire outing he was patient, confident, and above all else, visibly happy.

He is not perfect (although pretty close). We still have lots of work to do both medically and mentally but for a dog who only had hours left on his clock, he has proven beyond explanation that proper environment and appropriate outlets can change the course of any life.

In love is an understatement.
I am beyond proud of him.

It is a good day to be FREE! 🤩
After having the only life he knew turned completely on its head, this handsome fellow was scheduled to face his fate yesterday afternoon….

Since his freedom ride yesterday morning, he has made 3 more human friends, 3 canine friends, got a full check up at the vet, played LOTS of ball, and at what the vet estimated to be 7 years old, his first pup cup ever. We have a long road of training and medical care ahead of us before he is available for adoption but one thing is for sure, it is a good day to be free. Stay tuned for more updates.
I love him to pieces already.

Donations for vetting, care, toys, treats, and food are always greatly appreciated.

Venmo:

Thank you!
*******

And of course the BIGGEST hug to everyone who has helped him along this journey. You are all his angels.

Macchiato is a big baby who makes his foster family carrying him everywhere. 😂😂😂😂 JUST KIDDING. He was a tired boy from walking around Mystic village and meeting so many new people and getting some awesome socialization!!! It’s SO important for all dogs, especially puppies, to be socialized. He’s available for adoption with CSDR.
Found wandering the streets of south Texas, Macchiato and his 4 siblings were saved before they were food for a predator or run over by cars ( like so many are). He is about 18 lbs and 15 weeks old.

☀️“Luz de Sol” (Lulu)…..I am beyond proud of this little girl. From starving in the Rio Grande Valley desert to soaking up the love from her foster siblings and now ✨BEAMING✨ with confidence alongside her new classmates.

She blows me away with her capabilities everyday. Last week she tagged along to HomeDepot and this week she joined us once again at Wilcox Park.

Keep shining little one. Your people are out there somewhere, they just haven’t found you yet.

This morning’s Puppy Pre-School class at Wilcox Park did INCREDIBLE! 🎓💪🏼🌳
For most of them it was their first public park outing so there was lots to explore and experience. From brave squirrels to passersby, we practiced counter-conditioning methods at every opportunity, building desirable distraction habits. By the end of our adventure, every pup was checking in with their human in a flash while enjoying the park!

Remember "Edamame" my recently adopted foster dane?! After being saved from the Rio Grande Valley and a single trip to the vet, her grand total for medical bills came to... over $3000. The reality of giant breeds, is that they come with equally giant bills.

Help us help them! Your good deed for the day may just give you the chance to bring home this incredible piece!

Last but not least, #3 & #4 were quite the duo!
“Zon” and his brother “Helios” were THRIVING on the trails today! Even attempting some “tending”, the style of herding demonstrated by many shepherd and shepherd mixes, to ensure we all stayed together during our adventure. Smart boys!!🧠
Helios did decide about halfway that it was time to take a nap……riiiiiiight where he was 🤣

Got ADVENTURE?!
A few lucky & adoptable rescue pups absolutely conquered the trails today, building more confidence with every step!
Coming in at #1…. FREYA!
Freya is a rescue dog who was recently transported up from the Rio Grande Valley in TX. She is hopeful but weary of new experiences so what better way to show her the world than a good old fashioned hike! She got to explore, sniff, and observe the exciting world around her at her own pace, which always makes the biggest differences.
By the end of our adventure, Freya was POOPED💩

As if he couldn’t get any better… Atri is a fetch MACHINE!! He plays seamless fetch, bringing it back every. single. time. and gives everything he’s got on every throw in true GSD fashion 🥰🐶

That first freedom roll is like nothing else. This video was taken just a few hours after his scheduled fate. Let the waterworks begin! 🥹😭

✅ DAY 2&3: EXPOSURE For the last 2 days, the spice pups have been getting individual attention and playtimes, and supervised group play. This allows me to learn more about each puppy as an individual, and in turn help place them in the home that is best suited for their unique personality and needs. Fortunately, I have a main road very close to my home that is blocked by a chainlink fence and sidewalk which offers a perfect opportunity to ease into those crazy traffic sounds and sights we experience in everyday life. Sesame Seed says: “What big scary cars? All I see is this stupid leash 🙄”

CRATE TRAINING IS NOT OPTIONAL for young puppies. Although we want nothing more than to coddle and shower them with love from the beginning, they need structure to blossom into the fabulous family pet you expect!….. A large portion of that is learning independence and self soothing habits longterm, which starts with the crate. Unfortunately puppies do not come hard wired with a keen understanding of this and so, if you are thinking of purchasing or adopting a puppy be ready for the crate chorus! This video was taken on night one and lasted about 25 minutes before everyone was passed out cold for the night. 🐶💤

Some fun with my girl the other day! Toy drive can be such an incredible tool and I know this video is not perfect, but I do not expect her to be perfect. I do however enjoy how much pure passion I see from her and her attentiveness to my direction, for one single ball throw. Dog training should be fun, engaging, and exciting way before it is expected to be perfect. ✨
