I just have to give a huge shoutout to On The Sunny Side Photography for these incredible photos of Rex! 📸🐾

Not only are the photos absolutely amazing, but she made the entire session so simple, relaxed, and fun. Her patience, creativity, and ability to work with dogs really shine through, and I couldn’t be happier with how these turned out🥰

If you’re looking for someone to capture your dog (or your family!) I highly recommend checking her out. Thank you again Morgan, for these amazing photos🩵🪻

🐕Thursday Training Tip #25 : Work on Handling & Grooming Skills

Don’t wait until grooming day to teach your dog to enjoy being handled. Spend a few minutes each day gently touching paws, ears, tails, and mouths while rewarding calm behaviour.

Pair brushing, nail trims, and other handling with treats and praise to create positive associations. Short, successful sessions help your dog learn that being handled is safe and rewarding, making grooming and vet visits much less stressful for everyone.

A little practice now can prevent a lot of stress later!🩵

Good job Charlie😍🐕

What a great way to spend my birthday! We went to the Annapolis Valley Pet Expo today and got lots of great stuff for the pups (and kitties too!) Heidi, Max, & Leo tagged along and got lots of treats at the event, so basically they loved it! And Rex, aka quality control, was happy to look over all the goods when we got home🤣🩵 love spoiling all the fur babies🥰
