This is a bit behind the curtain but Rikki and I celebrated our five year wedding anniversary on Wednesday and she gave me a gift I felt compelled to share.

Many of you know that Outrider’s logo is not some random dog but it’s the face of Judah, our white German Shepherd. I rescued Judah when he was about a year old and he spent the next thirteen years by my side teaching me more about dogs and about life than I ever taught him. He passed away a few years ago and it’s still difficult for me to talk about because of how much he meant to us.

As Judah was getting older, it became increasingly harder for him to assist me in training so other than the occasional seminar or school visit I decided he would be happier at home. This left a void in more ways than one. I was not used to driving around alone all day and having a dog with me is crucial in the course of my work.

A friend of mine sent me a post about an out of control Belgian Malinois in need of rescue. I completely dismissed it. For the record, people send me these things daily so its kind of hard to consider them seriously. Although I knew I needed a new training dog, I wasn’t really ready or even looking. But this dog kept creeping back into my mind. For the sake of brevity I went to go meet him, he was an absolute terror, and I instantly fell in love. There was a period of time where they were both around and Rikki tells me that Judah told him, in their own way, that it was his turn now.

When Judah passed away it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever dealt with to the point that, in full transparency, I’m crying while writing this, but Hatchet being there helped. I love all my dogs but there are two dogs that have meant more to me than anything.

This picture to me is the artistic rendering of Judah passing the baton. It is a painting of my heart. This might be the best gift I’ve ever gotten. - Ben

Thank you , we chatted for months and I was confident it would come out well but my goodness, you outdid yourself.I opened it the morning of our anniversary before giving it to Ben and I immediately got the chills and cried. You’ll never know how special this truly is to us. - Rikki

Our sweet tenders are 8 weeks old and will be adopted within the month!

It’s been a ride, they got extremely sick off of unfortunate circumstances but they bounced back and are stronger than ever. 💪🏼

We will be finalizing families within the next two weeks. It’s been extremely hard to navigate the popularity of these types of dogs so I’m sincerely sorry if you were hoping to adopt one.

Thank you so much for the love and support with this group, we look forward to them taking the next big step in their life, adoption day! 🫶🏼

Theo is home after 4.5 days at the hospital. 🤍

He still has a long way to go, he’s so skinny and needs help gaining back weight and muscle. He’s definitely a fighter, his parvo test came back negative today but we will still act aggressively to ensure full recovery.

Thank you for the love. 🫶🏼

BBQs at 5 weeks old! 🍗🍖🥩🫘

Well, it’s clear we’ve been a little MIA on here. We lost a bit of motivation and inspiration when Pua died, but not a single ounce of love and care has been missed while taking care of these babes and their mom.

Although we haven’t shared them as much on social media, this group is nothing short of unreal. Honey momma is without a doubt the best mom and dog we’ve had. She’s so easy, she flops on her back for belly rubs the moment you see her and gives the best biiiiig stretchies in the world.

The babies are growing fast but still so itty bitty! We are getting them used to being handled by humans and socializing them in different parts of the house to start their journey into pethood. They will be more than ready to meet you all in just one week at the Meet & Eat!

Did you get your ticket yet? Only 8 more days to grab one! Link in bio.

Have an incredible weekend and you’ll be seeing more of us over the next week! 🤍🩶🖤

5 silly looking, awkward, long legged, sweet as pie babies looking for their forever homes. 🥰

Sometimes it’s not about the looks that make a dog perfect for you. These 5 spent the first 3 months of their life in a kennel, and are now in foster homes learning the ins and outs of home life. They are embracing the comfy beds, the endless toys to play with, the yummy food that is always ready for them, and the countless amount of snuggles and kisses from their foster humans. 🫶🏼

Their breed is truly a mystery, some look like German Shepherds, some look like Greyhounds, some look more terrier. To us, mutts are special and give so much more in love and companionship.

Please give these babies a chance, share their picture near and far, it’s been two weeks of no hits or applications and they deserve it.

Officially 1 week of Pua!! 🤍🐽

First week was eventful. The first few days we had zero weight gain and more than 24 hours of no p**ping. 🥲 One puppy e***a later and a lot of research and calculations on how much formula to feed, we are p**ping regularly and slowly but surely gaining weight.

I’m sure that’s TMI for some of you but there is no pretty “update” I can give you with a tube fed cleft puppy. 😂

Also, I think there might be a new series on our stories called, how many pictures of a sleeping puppy can you possibly take, because that’s all I’ve been doing for 7 days now. 🙃 When all he does is eat, p**p and sleep, what else am I supposed to document?!

Thank you for following along and thank you to those checking in. We are tired but very hopeful this little one is making it. 🫶🏼

This is Penny. As you can see she’s a Rottweiler and as beautiful as they come. Like all of us, she has some issues and like some of us, she’s working on them.

It’s hard because for generation after generation we’ve bred her to be protective, to guard, to posses. Then, seemingly overnight, we’ve traded her working breed mind for halloween costumes and stroller walks. Well, Penny wouldn’t fit in a stroller but you get the point.

Her owners are just as great as she is. They are dedicated and I admire them a lot not just for recognizing they had an issue but for reaching out for help. Sometimes that’s the hardest part.

I would argue that there’s been more good than bad that has come in the way we treat dogs these days. Overall I’d like to think their quality of life has improved but I think it’s important we don’t forget their past. We have to remember that behind those puppy dog eyes is a brain seeking to be challenged.

The face you see just before you schedule your next training session.

This is Roosevelt. He is one of the sweetest boys I have ever met and has quickly become one of my favorites. To say his love knows no bounds is an understatement and if you’re ever lucky enough to meet this boy, you’ll understand why that’s a pun.

To win over a fearful dog is the greatest testament to your abilities.

Anyone can walk into the home of an excitable confident dog, fuel that energy through voice and affection and probably make a friend for life. It’s a far more difficult task to negotiate the nuances of building trust with a dog who has no interest in your friendship out of fear or uncertainty.

It requires you to put your ego aside and let go of the desire to be liked instantaneously. It requires you to know more about how a dog thinks and relates to their environment. It requires you to prioritize things that may contradict why you wanted a dog in the first place.

To truly be a dog person doesn’t mean to simply love them. It means to take the time to respect and understand them. I promise you, one of the greatest joys you will ever feel is witnessing a dog overcome their fears and learn to trust. At least it is for me.

What are your experiences with building trust with your dog? If you want to know more, start the conversation below by commenting your questions and I’ll do my best to explain my strategies for winning over a fearful dog.

It’s the great catch 22 of being a dog trainer who loves their clients. If you do your job well, you won’t get to see them again. If you do your job poorly, you won’t get to see them again.

Okay, listen you guys! 📣

Our Woodland puppies may not be the most photogenic pups ever but my goodness, they are the sweetest silliest happiest babies and deserve just as much love as any other pups that come through our doors! They are also so much cuter in person.

These 5 have been posted on petfinder for 2 weeks and not a single application has come in for them. We are assuming the black dog syndrome is coming into play here, for some reason darker colored dogs are less likely to find their forever homes. 😭

These babies grew up right in front of us and I’m feeling very upset that they aren’t being fought over. They are chihuahua, cattle dog, pitbull, poodle and Pomeranian according to their DNA test and are estimated to be only 25-35 pounds full grown!

They love other dogs and have been socialized with humans of all ages. If you would like to meet them, they will be at our Heartthrobs at Hopmeadow event on Saturday, February 10!

Please share so we can get these babes out there to the world! 🤍

Ben Garson’s Story.

“It has been over a decade since I first decided to dedicate my life to dogs. Since then, I have worked in the veterinary field, co-founded a rescue that to date has saved over a thousand dogs, helped create and build Dogology, but most of all, spent uncountable hours helpings owners rehabilitate their dogs. I have been invited into your homes, schools, businesses and lives. I've had the privilege of speaking to so many incredible clients, companies, students, and organizations. It has brought me to different parts of the country and introduced me some of the most amazing animals on this planet. I have had a lot of help in doing all of this and owe a great number of people immense gratitude. This is still in its infancy, but, I am excited to begin a new venture, a new offering. Outriders Dogs will have two primary functions, one, with the help of Mike Ouellette, is to take dogs into our care who would otherwise be considered unfixable, and rehabilitate them. Dogs who need to learn how to be comfortable with other dogs, humans, and their everyday surroundings. The other is to, with the help of Rikki Silvester, provide rescue, foster and adoption for dogs in need. I am excited about the future of Outrider Dogs and the prospect of helping more dogs, more people, and the community at large. While it will take some time for all of this to come to fruition, for now please enjoy the process of watching us grow and let us know if you’d like to be a part of our journey. Thank you, Ben.”
