Meet Raisin! This sweet girl has some pretty big feelings around other dogs. We all know how hard that can be on her and her human. So, we’re going to teach Raisin some new coping skills. Today’s first training session was just the beginning, but Team Raisin are already knocking it out of the park! 👏🏆❤️ Unlike me and my camera skills. 🤣

A great blog by our friends at Rescued By Training about belly rub body language. There are often-missed, subtle signals to watch out for to make sure a dog's request for belly rubs really is that, and not the very opposite. A great read with helpful photos. Check it out!

Does he really want a belly rub or is he asking for space? Learn more in this post: https://rescuedbytraining.com/2024/10/21/appeasement-behaviors/

Welcome, Oliver! Today is the first day of Oliver’s trial stay with me. Many first-time boarding guests need a trial stay before planned travel to make sure they are comfortable in my environment. So far, so great, Oliver! ❤️

Look at this brave, brave girl. Cleo has arrived! Her trial stay last month went well, but she was too nervous to venture beyond one or two rooms in the house. Now look at her go! Bravely exploring every room in the first 30 minutes. Yay Cleo! ❤️

Post-walkie smiles. 😁 Manny enjoys short walks here, but he LOVES our “Find It” routine after we return. I toss and hide treats around the backyard and Manny sniffs them out and gobbles them up! Why do I do this? First and foremost, Manny loves it. He’s a competing NoseWork pro, after all. 🏆 Second, this activity seems to help Manny “come down” from the stimulation of a walkie, which can sometimes be over-stimulating for him here. And finally, Manny loves it. Yes, that counts twice. ❤️

Manny is back! And right at home on his favorite bed in the house. Me! 😂❤️

Congratulations, Tyler! You graduated! Tyler and his mom recently finished their training package for Tyler’s resource guarding behaviors (🧦 are life). With mom’s dedication, Tyler’s progress over the past month has been tremendous. Tyler is worrying less about losing coveted items. And mom now has the skills to keep the training momentum going. I’m so proud of them both! Congratulations!

Welcome, Cleo! Today is the first day of Cleo’s trial stay with me. A trial stay is about 2-3 days long and scheduled for a time when a dog’s humans are in town and “on call.” Many first-time boarding guests like Cleo need a trial stay before planned travel to make sure they are comfortable in my home and environment. We’ll do some indoor exploring, outdoor sunbathing, eating yummy treats, carefully planned alone-time trials, napping, and whatever else Cleo tells me she needs to feel safe here. I get you, Cleo, and I got you. ❤️
