Each of our dogs no matter how friendly they are will have times in their lives where they say “oh hell no, not today” to meeting someone new or being put into a new situation!

That is okay!

What is not okay is forcing them forward into a situation like meeting a new person when they are clearly uncomfortable

Never force a dog who is afraid or unsure into a situation where they have to choose between the food that is tasty and the scary thing.

Once the food is gone, the scary thing is still scary and with the person or thing being that close, it can result in a bite regardless of how good they are with people usually.

Pattern games are almost always my go to when working with dogs who need a little more time to get comfortable in a new space or around someone new!

Depending on the dog, I often suggest something called treat and retreat where you allow for the dog to make its own space by respecting their threshold and reinforcing their choice to move away from the trigger versus forcing them into closer proximity to it!

Remember, choice not force 💚

I’m a sucker for those puppy dog brown eyes! 🥹

Welcome to the Sun’s Out Paws Out Family Teddy! 🐻

Teddy is just the cutest boy! His family contacted us before he even came home to help them help Teddy become the best puppy he can be!

Teddy will be completing our 5 week Pawsome Puppers Program which focuses on foundational skills that are important to their family like loose leash walking, recall, going to a mat when guests come to the door and being neutral around other dogs and people!

He is just the smartest boy and has the best family! I can’t wait to see him continue to grow!

Things are seemingly going great with your relationship between you, your baby or toddler and your dog and then boom!

Something changes!

This could be your dog getting older and they aren’t as mobile, your baby’s voice and cry changes, they start to crawl or walk, they might start laughing or even something as simple as your baby starting to hold their head up on their own!

All of these things are firsts for many parents but also our dogs!

This saying from is one of my personal favorite and is a great reminder that as your child grows their needs begin to change and the same goes for our dogs!

Struggling with the ever changing dynamic of your dog and child? We are here to help at any stage!

Muzzle Train your dog before you need it! But remember, just because a dog is muzzle trained it doesn’t mean that you can put them in situations you know they are going to react in.

Never for a second did I think that Westley would need to wear his muzzle around his sister to prevent bites, but here we are! It is just for now, but it is still incredibly important.

His reactions can be unpredictable in the house right now and I would never put Westley, Hárlaigh or any other dog in a situation where I thought “let’s just see what happens”. There is no common reason for the reactions, trust me… I’ve thought of every possible reason why. This is when medical comes in and why it is so important to really listen to what your dog is trying to tell you.

Westley’s muzzle has allowed for us to have Hárlaigh and Westley together. For them to play. For them to cuddle. For them to be in the same room. For our family to be together instead of separated.

This peace of mind right now that if a reaction was to happen and we couldn’t separate them fast enough that there wouldn’t be a bite is priceless.

This month has been a whirlwind with everything happening with Westley, being in the peak season of weddings and doing training clients as well as working full time…

BUT I DID IT!

I pushed through and successfully completed my licensing program and couldn’t be more excited for all of the new services I will be able to offer with the knowledge I have gained over the last 13 weeks 💚

I am now officially a Licensed Family Paws Educator!

Thank you to Jennifer and Bethany for the amazing 13 weeks and all of the learning along the way!

Trigger warning: Household Dog Agression

This week has been a hard one

Westley’s allergies have been off the charts and the last few days he hasn’t been able to regulate himself in any situations, including around Hárlaigh.

It is hard to be vulnerable as a dog trainer, but I also want to be honest with people when I share so that maybe they might not feel as alone as I do with these kinds of problems.

In the last week, Hárlaigh and Westley have gotten into 3 fights. All 3 Westley instigated. The one last night was the worst one they have ever had and it resulted in a puncture to Hárlaigh. It hurts to say out loud, but I know I’m not the only one who has had this happen even though it feels so lonely.

We went to the dermatology specialist today and we found out why he has had such a shift in his behavior.

He is in so much pain and discomfort from his allergies and his ears are so inflamed that he can’t function. His ability to regulate his emotions is non existent at the moment. I’m sure I will get people reading this saying “you should do x,y,z” or “you force free trainers can’t train a bite risk dog”.

But this is not a “you need to do more training” situation.

You can’t train away pain. Any trainer who neglects to look at the whole picture is failing you and your dog. New behaviors should always be met with a vet visit.

Think about when you have a toothache or a headache and someone asks you to do something… Usually it is responded to in a not so nice way when usually, it would be no big deal. This is the situation we are currently in.

9/10 times Westley is incredible and he and Hárlaigh are best friends. Unfortunately, this week has just been harder and the 1/10 is weighing heavy.

Thankfully we have a fantastic team at who is helping us through this hard time and getting our boy back on track. I’ll share more about his Intradermal testing and his appointment later this week, but today, I need a moment to catch my breath, have a cry and kiss both my pups who I love so much.

In honor of International Cat Day, we wanted to highlight Adoptable Nihil from 💚🐾

Nihil is a super cuddly little guy who is just over a year old and loves to be pet and will purr all day long while cuddling you if you let him!

Nihil has a little heart on his chest and has so much love to give to the right person, they just haven’t found him yet!

If you’re interested in applying to adopt Nihil please find his adoption link through the pause4change website!

Not able to adopt? Please share to help Nihil find his forever home 🏠

07/08/2024

The age old question of “should I bring the baby blanket home for my dog to sniff before introducing them?” is one that I have had many expecting and adopting families ask me! 🤔

The answer is one that may surprise you…

I don’t personally recommend bringing home a blanket from the hospital for a few reasons:

1. It can be stressful for the dog as they don’t understand what to do with the blanket

2. Dogs explore the world with their nose and mouth. Some dogs may become aroused by the blanket and play with the blanket by tugging which is the last thing we want to encourage for when there is a baby in the blanket

3. We want to encourage a parallel existence, dog and baby can co exist but don’t need to be engaging directly with the baby.

If you do choose to use a blanket, it is not going to make or break your dog’s relationship with your baby!

Remember, how your dog reacts to the blanket (good or bad) doesn’t depict how your dog and baby’s relationship is going to go!

Relationships between dogs and babies are built over time and through predictable routines, training, stability and management!

Unsure of how to safely navigate the world of dogs, toddlers and babies? We are here to help you at every stage!

The 3 D’s of dog training are like the holy trinity of making a behavior reliable! In the dog training world, we call this “proofing” a behavior.

When working with clients, I always start with duration as the first D…

The reason for this is that if you want to teach your dog to do a down stay and they can’t even hold a down, you are going to have a very hard time adding in distance or distractions!

Once our dog starts to understand a concept, we often immediately try to increase the difficulty and then our dogs get confused and frustrated. This is actually when we need to pause. Ask yourself:

“Is my dog not understanding because I have made things too difficult too fast?”

Often, the answer to this question will be yes.

Baby steps are key when teaching any behavior and if you take a second to pause and go back to when your dog was successful if things are not going well, we can then slowly increase the difficulty at a rate that works for your dog!

Behavior is just information for us if we take the time to listen!

Three years ago today, our lives changed for the better 💚

Westley has taught me so many things over the last 3 years, but one of the most incredible gifts that he has given me is fear free training.

When we brought him home, I made a promise to him that no matter what, I would not use physical corrections to train him.

Little did I know that this promise would change my life and my career!

Westley is one of the best things that could have happened to me and I wouldn’t change a single thing about him!

Happy 3rd Birthday Bugga Baby 💚

Today, our little team lost one of our long time furry friends… 🥺

Daisy has crossed the rainbow bridge rainbow after a hard fight with a rare cancer 🌈

Yesterday I received a message from Daisy’s owner saying that she was not doing well and that it was time to let her go. In her moment of grief and sadness, she asked if I wanted to come and say goodbye to her. The only answer was yes.

I have been walking little Daisy for almost 4 years. We have spent countless hours together.

When I entered the backyard, she was laying down and hadn’t been moving much that day. When she saw me, she perked up, wiggle bum and all and gave me a big kiss on the nose. She always gave the best kisses.

She then did something unusual… She left her family and asked to go inside. When we brought her in, she marched straight to the front door and sat down and looked at me as to say “Ummm.. Auntie Sam… It’s time for our walk!”

She would not move until we said “okay! Let’s go!” She gave me one last walk last night. One last bark at the other dogs at the park. One last run through the grass…

This is so much more than a job

When we say we treat your pets like they are our family, we mean it.

They are our babies when they are with us.

We love them as if they are our own and we grieve them like they are our own.

I told her I loved her and to be a good girl… I told her to say hi to all her friends who have crossed the rainbow bridge before her and to watch over her humans so that they never have to walk alone…

We will miss you Little Miss. Daisy 🌈 Run free… Chase that ball and thank you for all of the memories and helping me become the business owner I am today 🐾

About Me!

Hello!

My name is Samantha, and I am an animal loving University student who is excited to meet your fur baby! Not only do I love dogs, but I also LOVE horses! I am currently half leasing a horse named Bruce, and we are going to be welcoming a puppy named Harlaigh in May! I have 7 years of experience as a dog sitter and dog walker, and am more than happy to provide references if you would like :)

I know how important your animals are to you and that it can be hard to leave them with someone you may not know, so I provide photo updates so that you can see the many adventures your furry companion and I embark on throughout the day!

Communication is key, and so is building trust! I treat every animal as if they are one of my own, and believe me when I say you will not be disappointed with your decision to trust me with your pet! I will always have my calendar updated and will let you know in advance of the dates and times that do not work with my schedule. I am also very responsive to messages and will guarantee a quick response time as your time is valuable!
