Abby and I are out on an outing today, supporting one of Get Pawsitive’s trainers and their student as they build confidence around seeing other dogs at a distance.

Training isn’t about flooding or overwhelming your dog to “fix” a behavior. It’s about having a thoughtful, strategic plan that sets them up for success—at their pace.

If you’re feeling stuck or unsure about your dog’s behavior, you’re not alone.

We’re here to help.

Reach out to Get Pawsitive and let’s work together to create a plan that supports both you and your dog. 💛🐾

Tomorrow the holidays in our home officially come to a close.

The boys head back to school and my oldest will soon fly back to college.

The energy in the house will change! This change doesn’t go unnoticed by your dog.

Be sure to give your pups extra things to do and recognize that the reduction in some love and attention can also be tough for them. ❤️

How do you ensure your dog transitions well with big changes?

New puppy… big feelings? 🐶💛

If you’re wondering how to properly socialize your puppy, you’re not alone!

Dog parks and casual playdates can sound like a great idea—but for many puppies, they can be overwhelming. Instead of confidence-building fun, some pups end up being chased, stressed, scared, or pushed past their comfort level 😬

So how do you know what good socialization actually looks like?

That’s where our Specialty Puppy Socialization À La Carte Class comes in! 🎉
We’ll help you:
• Understand what real puppy socialization truly means
• Learn to read your puppy’s body language and comfort levels
• Build confidence at your puppy’s pace
• Create positive, safe, and happy interactions with others

All in a supportive, carefully managed environment where your puppy’s well-being always comes first 💕

Upcoming Play Groups:
📅 Saturday, Jan 10
⏰ 2:00 pm or 3:30 pm
🐾 Ages: 10 weeks – 6 months
📍 Encinitas

You’d be surprised what your dog will continue to do for you that you like when you reward them!

This sweet boy has only been in his new home for a little under a week and in 5 minutes I had him choosing this spot and relaxing! A few cookies go a long way!

✨ Why “Relax on the Magic Mat” Is a Must-Have Skill for Puppies ✨

Teaching a young puppy how to auto-settle on a magic mat is one of the most valuable life skills you can build early on.

This skill helps puppies:
• Learn how to calm their own bodies and minds
• Build emotional regulation and frustration tolerance
• Develop an off-switch — rest is a skill, not just the absence of activity
• Feel confident and secure in new environments
• Practice making good choices without being told what to do

When puppies choose to relax on their mat, they’re learning that calm behavior works and is rewarding. Over time, this translates to better focus, easier handling, improved leash skills, and fewer “busy puppy” moments at home.

🐶 Pepper, pictured here, is doing a beautiful job demonstrating this skill — choosing to settle, relax, and feel safe on her magic mat. This is exactly what we want to see in young learners.

Calm is not forced.
Calm is taught.
Calm is practiced.

And it starts right here. 🩷

Even the Christmas decorations around town these days have become opportunities for training and desensitization! And of course, really cute photo ops!

Distractions like these are another golden reason to always be sure to take food rewards with you on your walks! You never know what you’re going to come across to help your dog with.

How does your dog do with the decorations like this Santa?
