Hi! I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted and I’m so excited to jump back in to sharing and learning more from this community. This break was longer than expected, but it was much needed and I’m really glad I took it. My last board and train pup leaves tomorrow and I’m so glad I could focus my time and energy on the dogs in front of me without the pressure of creating content for a while.

As a small business owner, and one that provides services, there’s a LOT of pressure to showcase and share on social media. I love it! I love sharing and creating content for everyone here. I’m happy to say I’ll be back to it.

Tell me something good! Doesn’t have to be about dogs, it can be something small. I’ll start: I added two new bird feeders to my backyard and it’s been so fun watching the birds fly around and hang out in the area. Arthur loves watching them and I’ve been getting my computer work done by the window so I can take breaks to see what they’re doing 🐦

I’m taking a content production break until January. This has always been a higher activity time of year for me with board and trains in my home, planning and celebrating with my family and friends, and squeezing clients in between the holidays.

Instead of putting one more thing on my plate and pushing out content to share, I’m focusing on the activities I have going on right now.

I’ll still be checking in periodically, but you won’t see new stuff from me until the new year.

I’m tagging some of my favorite trainers in the post, feel free to drop yours below so people can find them!

Many service dog partners use alert cues in their every day life. This isn’t an inclusive list, but these are some of the antecedents we focus on for our service dogs to alert their partner.

Alert cues can be trained as a nose push on the leg, pawing, or even barking depend on their partner’s needs! We most commonly train for a persistent and firm nose push.

Nightmare interruption can help someone that needs to be woken up from sleep. We often pair pressure therapy and/or turning on the lights with this task.

Service dogs can alert their partner to repetitive behaviors that can be harmful like picking at their skin, hair twirling, or scratching. Some clients prefer to have their dog alert to stimming behaviors as well to prevent dissociative episodes, too.

Physical health changes like blood sugar drops, heart rate changes, environmental allergens, and oncoming seizures

Most of our service dogs are trained to alert to environmental changes whether it’s for noises like a phone ringing or alarm going off to someone approaching from behind.

The holidays can be a time of family and friends, traveling, and gatherings in your home. Prepare your pup for this season, too!

Prevent counter surfing! Keep your counters clear of tempting food. Use gates, covered dishes, and ask your dog to settle outside of the kitchen when you’re cooking or food is being served. Ask guests to only place food and drinks on surfaces your dog can’t reach to prevent a sniffing nose or wagging tail from knocking them over.

Prep enrichment! If you’re having guests over or you’re going to be in and out of the house, go ahead and make some tasty frozen enrichment to help your dog relax. Set up a quiet space for them if they don’t like being the center of attention and set timers to give them breaks as needed if they like to socialize.

Plan decompression! Many people feel a bit frazzled during this season and our pets can, too. Set aside some time for the both of you to bond by taking a sniff walk together, training, or just snuggling on the couch after everyone’s left for the evening.

And below that it says in smaller text and other tips to help your dog succeed during the holidays.
