Today, Harper and I were honored to attend Williams Elementary School’s Career Day event. I talked to students about being a dog trainer. Harper did a talk on how to get into sheepherding.
Happy Friday! Harper wishes everyone a banger of a weekend!
Maybe I should try learning patience by balancing a treat on my own nose?
Wise Words!
Hey, friends. This is a popular topic, so I know if you google “Tips for Walking a Reactive Dog”, a ton of things are going to pop up. There are going to be lists that focus on the physical aspects of walking, like what type of harness is best, or proper ways to hold a […]

Join us Thursday evenings at 7pm, starting October 5th, for this recreational trick training class that focuses on foundation training for canine musical freestyle (and really any dog sport that requires coordinated movement between handler and dog).
We'll teach foundational skills like circle around the handler, take a bow, reverse, spin into heel, holding position in a stand in heel, right heel, and middle, front paw pivoting on a target, leg weaves, and more.
This is an advanced trick-training class. To enroll, dogs must have attended at least a level 1 or basic training class and be able to work safely in the same class space with other dogs.
Visit www.fuzzymattersatx.com for more information and to enroll.

So proud of my special girl, graduating from Divine Canines therapy dog training class today!
We’re excited to get out there and help people feel better with the power of the puppers.🐾💜🌈
(She has trading cards now!)
Congratulations to Clara and Maxime on your dogs Venus and Belle earning their CGC today! Y’all are awesome and I hope you have a wonderful school year!
Just saw the Barbie movie today and had to update my TikTok bio.💖💖💖
Snuffle up! It’s gonna be a fuzzy ride.
Congratulations to Jory and Mike for completing all the requirements to graduate from Good Dog 101. Joey’s skills reflect Mike’s hard work and dedication. Way to go, you guys!
Belated congratulations for Karen and Deuce! I just realized I missed the opportunity to celebrate this team’s accomplishment on passing the Canine Good Citizen test earlier this spring!
Let me just say, it’s been a pleasure watching these two grow and gel as a team. I continue to be amazed and impressed with you both!
Do you have a dog who seems glued to your side?
Look for enrichment activities that encourage physical movement! Puzzles like this will get your pup to practice getting distance away from you in a way that is safe and fun for them!

My dream gig is returning to my alma mater in the capacity of dog trainer. And here is me living that dream. I am reading a book right now that posits the way to find meaning in your life is to connect with something greater than yourself. For me, consulting with the teams of the Texas State Animal-Assisted Counseling Academy does exactly that. I leave everyday feeling completely drained and completely fulfilled. It’s that dog magic.✨✨✨
Here I am working with Rose and her awesome dog mom and counseling partner Connie.🌈
How psyched am I today? Super-psyched!
I just joined the PetPro mentorship program and cannot wait to learn all the things.⚡️⚡️⚡️

Congratulations to Monica and her very good girl Bailey on earning their Canine Good Citizen today! Such a great team—You are going to be a great therapy team!
Got invited to help paint Wikazri’s newly-donated patio furniture. So much fun. (The blue and green one is by an up-and-coming artist—Lincoln Fennell.)

When you have a water-dog and a water-kid, this is called multi-tasking. Thanks again to my kind friend for introducing us to Jumping Jack Ranch and sharing your pool time! #fuzzymatters #waterdogs #waterkids

Melinda is practicing bite work and toy exchange with Simone as part of their disc dog foundations homework. We are building Simone’s enthusiasm for the zip-flights. Then we will start mixing in plastic discs. We are also reinforcing her for picking up the disc herself. Simone likes to chase and tug, but she’s mot a natural retriever. So we are beginning to train that simply be getting her to pick up the disc up close and reinforcing her with tug when she does. Melinda does a great job here! Notice also how quickly Simone disengaged from Melinda. We might have rather ended the training session 30 seconds earlier. But we did find a way to end with Simone being rewarded! #fuzzymatters #tricktrainingatx #discdog #discsheltie #discdogfoundations #dogsofsouthaustin
