Halloween is one of those evenings where a little extra preparation can make a HUGE difference for our dogs.

Between the constant doorbell/knocking, people coming and going, unfamiliar costumes, excited children and all the extra stimulation, there's a lot happening in a relatively short amount of time.

A few things I'd really encourage you to think about this evening are door management, having a designated space for your dog to decompress, and practicing some of those everyday skills before the evening rolls around. A reliable station, a comfortable crate or room, and the ability to settle away from the commotion can be incredibly helpful during such an unpredictable night.

And of course, let's not forget about those tempting Halloween treats! Chocolate, certain sweeteners and even candy wrappers can pose some pretty serious risks to our pets.

Please remember, your dog doesn't need to participate in Halloween to enjoy it. If they're uncomfortable, overwhelmed or simply not having a good time, it's okay to let them sit this one out.

A little management goes a long way, and advocating for our dogs sometimes means recognizing when less is more.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween! 🎃

Only a couple spaces remaining in my upcoming Free Shaping Workshop!

Join me in Valleyview on Nov. 21st as we work through building impactful markers, focus and engagement, and letting our dogs do all the deep thinking. But... 👀 I am bringing a fun twist to this workshop; while we give our pups the time to decompress and register what they've just learned, we as handlers will play a little game!!

To finish off the workshop, each participant will get the opportunity to put their new skills into action with an individual free-shaping session, unique to a skill you are looking to build! 👏

If you have any questions or are interested in joining, please DM me with your questions or for the registration link.

FUN FACT FRIDAY 🐾

Many tend to associate a wagging tail with a happy dog, but a tail wagging can actually accompany a whole range of emotions; excitement, uncertainty, frustration and even stress.

Pay close attention to the speed and height of the wag, how loose or stiff the body is, their facial expression and what's happening around them. A wagging tail is just one piece of the puzzle, and learning to recognize the whole picture can tell us so much more about how our dogs are feeling.

Sometimes understanding our dogs means looking beyond the signals we think we already know. 🐕

Something I think we could all use a little more of in the dog industry is the willingness to support one another without feeling the need to fit into a particular box.

It's interesting how often peer support can become influenced by unspoken social expectations. Who we're 'allowed' to support, whose success we're 'allowed' to celebrate, and whether showing appreciation for someone with similar services, different methods, or even opposing perspectives MAY change how others view us.

Somewhere along the way, supporting one another can start to feel like choosing sides. And honestly, I think that's such a shame...

We can respect someone without agreeing with everything they do. We can appreciate a different perspective without abandoning our own values. We can celebrate someone's growth, recommend their services, or acknowledge their knowledge without feeling like we're somehow taking away from our own success.. Someone else's success is not your failure! Their growth does not limit yours; and genuine, professional confidence shouldn't require the approval of a particular circle.

At the end of the day, we're all trying to build something meaningful; a career we're proud of, a life that fulfills us, and a way to make a difference for the dogs and people we work with... We won't all approach that goal the same way. We won't always agree on methods, philosophies, or the best way forward AND THAT'S OKAY!! Healthy discussion, respectful disagreement, and a willingness to learn from perspectives outside our own are all part of growing!

But putting others down, withholding support out of fear of judgment, or measuring our success against someone else's will never foster a more supportive industry. It only keeps us stuck in a cycle of comparison, guilt, and unnecessary division.

There is room for different approaches, different businesses, different philosophies, and different people to succeed. We don't have to be best friends. We don't have to agree on everything. We don't even have to work the same way.

But we CAN choose to be respectful, we can choose to be kind; we can choose to celebrate good things happening for others without making it about ourselves 🤍

Baxter and I just wanted to check in 🫶

I know a few of you have been wondering where I was and what I was learning a couple weeks ago; teaser is over! 🤭

Over the last few months, I’ve been undergoing virtual training, and to bring those studies to a close, I spent a week in PEI with Duke Ferguson at Unleashed Potential to complete my Professional Dog Trainer Certification, and what an incredible week it was!!

A huge thank you to Duke for sharing so much of his knowledge, experience and perspective with us. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to learn from someone who has spent his whole life working with dogs, and developing his understanding of training, behaviour and communication.

During our in-person week, I got to work alongside brand new board and train dogs as they began their journeys, work with day train regulars, and venture out with the dogs into a variety of environments, including semi-private and group classes.

We also stepped outside of the dog world for an afternoon to visit a falconry; exploring how the same principles of learning can be applied across different species and animal training industries. It was such a cool experience, and only solidified my appreciation for just how much there is to learn about animal behaviour.

I’m incredibly grateful for the time I got to spend at Unleashed Potential; for the dogs, the people, the knowledge, the conversations, and all of the experiences I get to bring home with me. Thank you and Duke and the Unleashed Potential crew, for welcoming me in and allowing me to be a small part of what you do. 🤍

Now comes the fun part; putting all of that learning into practice!

There’s a little behind-the-scenes housekeeping happening as I get everything ready, but I’m excited to start sharing what’s coming next.

If you’re interested in joining my contact list and hearing about upcoming offerings, send me a DM or leave a comment below. 🤍

FUN FACT FRIDAY 🐾

No two dogs have exactly the same nose print! The patterns of ridges, lines and creases on a dog's nose are unique to each individual; much like the patterns on our very own fingerprints.

Just another tiny detail that makes your dog completely and quite literally, one of a kind ❤️

Our dogs are not robots. 🐕 Building up your relationship and positive experiences together while providing your safety and companionship will come back to you with love, trust and a bond to never be broken. The bond grows deeper as we continue to guide them to understand how we navigate in a world of rules that are so unnatural to them.
