Got to meet some more neighbors today and their new dorky puppy! Cane Corso 10 months old, all the naughty you can imagine 😬 Hello Beau and welcome to Mika's boot camp 😏 you will love me soon enough!

Sometimes too much love at the wrong times and freedom creats a little monster 🐶

You guys share so many personal experiences with me it wouldn't feel right not to share with you the hard times I struggle with with loss as well. Some of you know I have had a horse for 23 years now and some of you even got to meet him at our last place. My heart is heavy to share he is no longer with us. He did not suffer and died of old age at 27 years old which is phenomenal for a horse with injuries off the race track.

I met Willie when he was almost 4 and he was the craziest most muscular horse I had ever seen, our souls connected. He was not fond of my dad or men for that matter for years because he associated them with force on the race track. He did learn to love men when Greg came into our life and he always had a soft spot for kids. He has bit and kicked so many people off his back but in 23 years not once to me. He was a big reason why I started my training career, enjoy the photos of younger me...😂 He taught me the more force and frustration the bigger the emotional reactions I would get. The calmer and slower I trainer the faster and more willing he was to participate and learn.

He was by far one of the smartest horses, I was training him without even knowing I was training him. Gate could have flown open and when I came home he would be standing there waiting at the threshold. He could open or pick ANY lock which is why containing and forcing him to be stalled wasn't a great option. We built trust and in the end he did anything for me. His favorite trick like all my animals were giving out KISSES 😘 He went on jogs with me while I jogged alongside no halter, he played fetch and protected me from all wildlife! We rode western, English but our favorite was reining and barrel racing. Resilience is something he had more than enough. He had many hoof infections and once a very bad kick to the heart that swelled like a football and he never skipped a beat, literally. Once he survived a barn fire that all other horses burned alive in and there he was running to me in the field like a dream come true. He had skin cancer twice which is why I brought him home but we overcame that too, 8 years ago! He ran until the day he passed, he lived a great life.

The snuffle Ball ⚽ Takes you 10 minutes to pack it and them 5 minutes to unwrap it; mental stimulation for the whole family! 😂
This was wayyyyy too easy for Penny, if it was a race to wrap and unwrap I lost. Next time it's going in a towel wrapped in a knot in a box folded over 👌

If you and your dog are bored, this is a great option hahaha

Why Xena isn't shedding hahaha....

Because I brush her weekly! If you want a husky or a shepherd you need to get your dog comfortable with YOU man handling them 😂 So many of us avoid grooming our own dogs and expect a stranger to give our dog more comfort? If your dog wants to bite or growl when you do it....add stress and anxiety to the mix and that's often what your poor groomer has to deal with.

Any dog can tolerate a brushing or bathing. It's about patience and REPETITION! When Xena was a puppy I would give her treats for standing still while I change positions, treats for coming to the brush and treats for staying with me until the end, all force free. She's 12 years old in just 2 weeks and we've enjoyed a decade of force free brushing. Does she love it? No 😂 Does she tolerate it and trust I won't hurt her? YES.
Xena is an extremely sensitive and reactive when handled but look how amazing she can be when she knows what to expect. I like putting my arm under the dogs hips when they are over the age of 6 to help support their waist when I put pressure down with the brush and I like to hold the skin/hair above where I'm about to brush to prevent as much of a pulling sensation as possible.

I want this type of grooming experience for every single dog owner out there!

I do a lot of lessons about consent and tolerance. Training isn't all about obedience and tricks. It can be about handling and trust which is the foundation of every relationship.

Also this brush is amazing, if you need a good deshedding brush send me a message we have 10 left for sale. 😍

This sweet beautiful little girl reminded me a lot of our previous dog Layla. Very clever, every shenanigan is brought to you by...."is that food" 🍖 🥓 🧀

The food driven dogs are SOOOOO much easier to train, their motive is food! A doodles motive is usually love 😂

Raw pick up all next week! Don't forget we're closed Nov 22-30th

How everyone should package their dogs meals when going away on vacation. Containers or ziplock! I've heard so many clients share their struggle after kenneling their dogs, picking them up and they got really skinny or chunky. Often there is missing clarity on how many feedings the dog should receive. I've heard some kennel owners say they like to feed what the dog eats 😳 I always note on my dogs papers, a lot of allergies and feed as directed to make sure no upset bellies or chunky monkeys.

When I ran boarding, I always LOVED when people left a note in their dogs bag with everything written out. Additionally, putting the exact amount of food in a ziplock or container with the days written on them. Your dogs miss you enough, put extra effort into making sure they get their perfect meals and the right amount! 🥓
