Does your dog bark and lunge on walks? 😬

You’re not alone — and your dog isn’t being stubborn, “dominant,” or bad.

He’s scared.

When dogs bark and react, it’s often their way of saying, “I’m uncomfortable” or “I don’t feel safe.”

Imagine heading out for a walk and constantly worrying about what might be around the corner — that’s how many reactive dogs feel every single time they go outside.

It’s stressful, exhausting, and scary for them.

Your dog isn’t giving you a hard time… he’s having a hard time. 💛

And he doesn’t need harsh corrections, shock collars, or scolding — he needs understanding, safety, and support to build confidence and learn new ways to cope.

That’s exactly what our BARK Class is all about.

We’ll help you and your dog work through reactivity using positive, science-based methods that focus on trust and teamwork.

📅 Starts Sunday, Oct 19th at 9:00 AM

3 days…. It always takes at least three days for my dogs and a new pup to acclimate and settle in at my house when we bring in a pup for the Ranch Experience board and train.

Knowing this important piece of information helps everyone have realistic expectations about desired behavior, and successful interactions. Even my husband will remind me of this! ☺️

Until then, lots of management is in place and observing body language and personality styles to ensure everybody is as successful as possible!

Are you setting realistic expectations for your dogs when you take them to new places?

💙🐾 Every week, I get the joy of working alongside the incredible Pawsitive Practices volunteer training team at Rancho Coastal Humane Society. Together, we brainstorm, collaborate, and practice hands-on skills that help us better understand and support the shelter dogs in our care.

Through force-free, science-based methods, we watch real transformations unfold — dogs relaxing, connecting, and learning to trust again. It’s powerful to see what happens when compassion, patience, and teamwork come together.

This volunteer crew is truly one of the best — dedicated, thoughtful, and always striving to make a difference for every pup they meet.

🐶 Want to make an impact? Volunteer! Whether it’s at Rancho Coastal or a local rescue near you, shelters everywhere need caring hands and open hearts. The dogs will thank you a thousand times over — in tail wags, kisses, and quiet moments of trust. 💛

🦴 What’s your dog’s favorite chew?

Whether your pup is young and full of energy or a wise old soul, chewing is more than just a tasty treat — it’s an essential outlet for their body and mind!

✅ Builds focus and calm
✅ Supports dental health
✅ Relieves stress and anxiety

For Rufus, 5.5-month-old puppy, chewing has been a big help in settling into his new environment — giving him something positive to do while he adjusts to all the new sights, sounds, and routines. 💛🐾

She jumps up and grabs food off the couch.
She begs at the kitchen table .
She barks at me when I’m preparing her me .
She paws at me when I’m trying to work at my desk.
She’s beside herself in the waiting room at the vets office.

When your Airbnb host has two whippets and a kitty you know you’ve found the right spot!

Laurel, Darcy and Cynthia were a great addition to our stay. Darcy even got some pro bono training from me to offer more sits rather than jumps while we were there 😃.

Such sweet pups! Swipe and check out what they did when I left. So stinkin cute!😍

Jane didn’t just study chimpanzees , she connected with them!

-understood them!

and showed us that all creatures have feelings and personalities.

She opened our eyes to the beauty and importance of nature.

She reminded us that one passionate person really can make a huge difference.

Thank you, Jane, for every journey you embarked upon,

every life you lifted,

every voice you amplified.

Though you have left this earth, your spirit lives in forests…

…In the eyes of animals

and in the dreams of young people daring to care.❤️

You will be missed!
