As always, I had a great time working with last Friday.

Brody came to me after being exiled from a groomer. We spent a few weeks training and then I accompanied him to his first groom with Brooke. Her expertise is always so refreshing. Her and I share a number of clients at this point and it’s always so satisfying being able to see a dog complete a groom when they previously couldn’t.

Brody’s owners managed to get his coat mostly shaved off through the grooming practice they were assigned through their private lessons. This allowed us to focus on helping him be comfortable in a grooming environment while just trining up his face and paws. It’s amazing to see what can be accomplished when the owners, groomer, and trainer all work together. Brody was serious about biting over tools when I first met him. To see him move past that and be safer for his first trip to Brooke’s was wonderful.

Her three year anniversary is this Saturday. In honor of that, she is going to have a sale on some of the really cool stuff that her boutique sells. If you didn’t already plan on it, you should absolutely join me with stopping in.

GIRLS DAY

Yesterday we had exclusively a girls outing. Three humans and four dogs took off to explore. Astra, Gypsy, Nyx, and Phoebe got to roam all across fields and creeks, around ponds, and over and under bridges. They played, they heeled, the practiced stay, then played some more. It was great seeing the way dogs are already loving the new location!

Grooming is a hands on, invasive procedure that is necessary for health, sanitation, and wellbeing. While some dogs do good with this naturally, it is normal for dogs to need some help learning how to navigate this process.

There are many groomers that will turn biting dogs away, or worse. I love working with the girls at Sommer Dog Salon because they are the ideal groomers. If they see that your dog is stressed of biting, they let you know and refer you to trainers that can help. I’m so happy to be one of the trainers that share clients with their facility.

Pictured above is a series of videos showing Bernie’s grooming progression. At first he was unmanageable. He bit, barked, and stressed the entire time. It was ethically impossible for them to complete the groom and so they reached out. I made progress with Bernie in the comfort of his home, then, thanks to Brooke and Bernie’s owner’s dedication, was able to go up there after hours to practice. Today I accompanied him during a real groom and he was able to go through the entire process with minimal input!

Always choose providers that prioritize your dog’s mental wellbeing and never feel ashamed to reach out for help when your dog is struggling!

We finally got the chance to pop out to !

Listen… if you have time please swing out with your pup. It would be a great trip for a training round. They have wonderful coffee, one of the best cookies I have had in a long time, and plenty of goodies for your pets!

I got Kaydo a dog cookie from their pet bakery and enjoyed a little reading in their environment. If you go take a picture and tag me! I want to see your pup enjoying their treats the way mine did. Bonus tip: they make their own dehydrated treats that are GREAT for training.

SNOW DAY!!!Some dogs love it, some aren’t a fan. The one in the last picture REALLY didn’t like it 😉
