Duckie had her yearly checkup today. She did such a great job and was very tolerant of the handling and didn’t even notice the needle. Such a good girl.

Bounce point with a clean bill of health.

Scooby was very proud of himself today — he managed to get up on the exercise ball all by himself!

Confidence-building doesn’t always require fancy equipment. Everyday items like step stools, yoga balls, exercise peanuts, picnic benches, and even playgrounds can be used to help your dog strengthen muscles, improve coordination, build body awareness, and boost confidence — all while having fun.

Just remember to take it slow, set your dog up for success, and always prioritize safety. A little creativity goes a long way!

Just wrapped up the Fear Free Shelter course today! It’s a little warm-up before diving into their professional dog trainer certificate—because apparently, I have a slight addiction to collecting certificates and expanding my dog nerd brain.

Taking a fear free approach is such an important part of working with animals. It helps reduce fear, anxiety, and stress, which makes a huge difference in their overall well-being and builds trust from the very beginning.

If you work or volunteer in a shelter, this course is actually free—you just need to show you’re currently active. Highly recommend checking it out!
