A short little appearance/quote in this Kinship article.

Let's move away from labeling dogs grumpy, guilty, stubborn, or other terms and instead focus on what is causing the behavior changes we're seeing.

Is your senior dog actually getting grumpier as they get older, or is it something else? Is grumpiness in dogs even really a thing?

🎯 A Yard Is Not a Babysitter!

Do you live somewhere where dogs are barking all the time? It’s not just annoying — it’s often a sign of dogs who are bored, frustrated, or simply lonely.

So many people believe “he just needs a yard,” but here’s the truth:
👉 A yard is not a substitute for exercise, enrichment, or human connection.
👉 Dogs are social animals — they don’t want to be left outside alone for hours.
👉 Barking, digging, chewing, and even fence aggression often stem from a lack of stimulation and interaction.

🐾 Let’s give our dogs the life they deserve — one full of engagement, connection, and purpose.

📖 Read the full blog to learn more about how we can help our dogs thrive — not just “have a yard.”

Sharing this from the archives because it's important.

“Sound phobia is a serious condition. The best way to help your dog get through the coming holidays in the U.S. and Canada is to contact your vet for help. Call now.”

If your dog has real sound phobias, please get them real help. Talk to your vet. Don’t let them suffer another scary night panting, pacing, hiding and trembling. Help them.

Ditch the Thundershirt. Ditch the calming chews. If they haven’t worked in the past, they are not likely to suddenly work. Get your dog some real help and relief for the upcoming booms.

The best single thing you can do to help a dog who is afraid of fireworks is to see your veterinarian. Do it now, before the noisy holidays arrive.

4661 days was not enough with BooBoo. No amount of time would ever have been enough.

So how do you know when it's time to say goodbye? This is one of the hardest questions people wrangle with when it comes to end-of-life decisions.

Of course we all want as much time with our animals as possible but I urge people to prioritize quality time over quantity.

Vets will always say it is better to say goodbye a week early than an hour too late.

We never want our animals to suffer and we have the ability to prevent that from happening.

My new guide can help give you some insights on making that tough decision and what to look for. And, as a companion animal end-of-life doula, I'm here to help you through this unbearable time. You don't need to do this alone.

I had a pretty eye-opening (and honestly infuriating) experience last week.

I'm not a fan of how AI technologies often scrape and regurgitate copyrighted content—especially from artists, writers, and educators who put real time and care into their work. I personally spend over 25 hours a week creating accurate, science-backed educational content for pet parents. A lot of that work gets stolen or misrepresented.

So imagine my shock when I discovered that Google’s AI was citing me as the source for inaccurate and even harmful information about separation anxiety training. Not only was the advice wrong—it was being falsely attributed to me, potentially putting dogs at risk.

I filed a complaint, but the autoreply (also AI-generated) clearly didn’t understand the nature of my concern. I've heard nothing since. There seems to be little to no meaningful recourse.

I recognize that AI has a place in the world—but dog training is already filled with misinformation and bad actors, even among humans. When you add AI into the mix, the waters get even murkier.

😭 Please, I urge you: Don’t rely on AI to help your dog.

You and your dog deserve support from a real human—someone with real education, real empathy, and a real understanding of behavioral science.

Your dog is worth that.

(Fortunately, as of today, possibly due to my complaint or due to my Instagram post about this, it seems to have been re-trained, at least for now.)

Are you struggling with end-of-life for your beloved companion?

I can help support you and walk this walk alongside you, so you're not alone.

Whether your beloved is in a state of decline and you're unsure how to know when it's time to say goodbye, or you're struggling with behavioral euthanasia or your beloved had already passed and you're struggling with complicated feelings and no one else seems to understand, I can help you navigate this difficult journey. You don't need to do it alone.

Guard your heart and be thoughtful about who you look to for support and empathy. Not everyone honors or understand pet loss. I can provide you with compassionate support and be your grief partner when you need it.

🌈💔 Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest decisions you’ll ever face. It’s emotional, painful, and deeply personal. That’s why I created my newest resource, “When Is It Time To Say Goodbye?”, a free downloadable guide designed to help you navigate this heartbreaking time with clarity, compassion, and support. Along with your vet's advice and recommendations, I hope this guide will be supportive to you in making these tough decisions.

As a certified behavior consultant and companion animal death doula, I’ve walked alongside many families through their pet’s final chapter. I know how heavy this decision feels — the guilt, the uncertainty, the fear of acting too soon… or too late. This guide is here to lift some of that weight off your shoulders.

You're not alone — and you don't have to make this decision in the dark.

Meet our newest foster, Angie! 7 years old, picked up as a stray with a horrible crop job on her ears and clearly having had puppies very recently. She’s spayed now but still very saggy.

She also has a prominent scar around her neck, possibly from a tie out line. And yet, still so sweet. We don’t deserve dogs.

She’s getting a little vacation with us because the county shelter is full and she’s been there since April.

She is our 69th foster and 15th since losing BooBoo last year.

When we let dogs "cry it out," we run the risk of compromising their emotional well-being and our relationship with them. And when they are truly upset, ignoring their pleas for help can actually increase their panic via sensitization.

So how do you know if your dog is upset or just being a dog?
