Two years ago today, I took a leap and started this little dream of mine—and today, I’m so proud to say Well Mannered Mutts has officially been open for TWO whole years!

I can’t thank you all enough for trusting me with your dogs and allowing me to do what I love every single day. The support from this community has been incredible, and it truly means the world to me to be part of your journey with your dogs.

Over these past two years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many amazing people and their equally amazing pups. Each one has left a mark on my heart and reminded me why I started this in the first place. Helping you build stronger relationships with your dogs and watching them grow into confident, well-mannered companions is truly the best feeling.

From the bottom of my heart—thank you for making my dream a reality. Here’s to many more years of training, learning, and creating happier lives for you and your dogs! ❤️

Another amazing adventure day in the books with this pack 💛We hope everyone has an outstanding weekend 🔆

If you watch one video today, let it be this one

One of the best examples of natural pack dynamics you’ll ever see

Lemme break it down for you.

Marley (the white/yellow long-haired dog) is part of our regular Thursday pack, has been for years now. Nyx and Marley grew up together and both Briggs and Nyx have helped train and shape her for the last two years. Izzy (white and black) is newer to the group and has never met Marley until today, and while the girls were playing, Izzy started becoming a bit pushy with her body pressure. Marley was trying to keep up, but you can see she was a little uncomfortable with how intense it was getting.

The rest of the pack noticed this imbalance. Dogs are amazing at reading each other, and in a healthy social group, they often step in as “referees” to break up situations that feel unfair or too much for one dog. In this case, they came in, stopped Izzy’s pressure, and redirected the tension through hu***ng Marley.

Hu***ng here isn’t sexual—it’s a way to release excitement, assert social control, and help settle things.

This happened twice in the duration of the day, one shortly after the other, both after the same type of play ensued.

Once it was overkill and Marley wasn’t doing a good enough job at advocating for herself, Ellie came in and body-checked Nyx, which was basically her way of saying, “Okay, enough. We’re done here.”
And everyone listened.

Afterwards everyone calmed down, energy lessoned and then acted like nothing happened in peace, harmony, rainbows and butterflies type s**t.

This is a great example of how dogs naturally regulate social dynamics when they’re in a balanced group. They interrupt, redirect, and finally reset the energy back to calm. They generally don’t need us stepping in, infact, we usually make things worse trying.

Hope this video is helpful in understanding pack dynamics 🐾🖤
