Here’s my girl, Daphnie. Red Merle Australian Shepherd, came into our lives at 14 weeks old and passed abruptly one month after she turned 15 years old.

It’s wild to think my girl was by my side for over half of my life. While she’s been gone just over 5 years, I can still feel her presence from time to time, most often when I need her most, which I often don’t realize until thinking back on a visit from her. I trust that she is always with me, a little heartbeat at my feet, just the same as she was while earthside — our favorite shadow - always a few paces behind or footsteps away, quiet and content.

This was captioned “every day thankful” in 2015 when it was posted and the sentiment is rings resoundingly true today 🫶🏻

I may never share time and space with a canine companion quite like my little bug - boundless loyalty, poise, and fierceness. She was a blessing.

* Client Testimonial *

“I will forever be grateful that a woman at the dog park referred me to Jacqulene. When I say Jac changed my life, and my whole perspective on raising a puppy/training a neutral dog, I mean it. At that time I had rescued a 4 month husky/shepherd mix. When I tell you I was crying every day and at a loss due to socialization, poor leash walking, crate training...I really was.

Jacqulene changed everything for us. She is beyond knowledgeable, dedicated, and hard working. I have never met someone so passionate, especially about such a niche area (canine behavior). Her energy and joy have shined through every time we have had a session. I can now bring my dog EVERYWHERE with me (doctor, nail salon, restaurants, supermarkets- you name it).

I trust her with all of my being and would leave my dog with her (and have) without thinking twice
I also love the community she has curated w/ her clients. It really says a lot that her clients and their dogs gather for group training walks.

I highly rec Jac to ANY dog owner, any breed, any age. Even if you think you are at a loss and have no where to turn...turn to Jac. She will help you create a beautiful bond and communication system w/ your pup. I have endless gratitude towards Jac's Pack, thank you for everything!!!!”

It’s about damn time.

Members of our pack has suffered under the hand of the accused.

Let the recent events in South Boston be a reminder that the truth always reveals itself and justice will be served. When you are dealing with animals, they cannot speak for themselves, but those who advocate for them will raise hell every single time.

Stay humble. Never let the almighty dollar cloud your judgement.

The unfortunate truth is that accidents happen all the time when you’re dealing with the cohabitation of different species. To further that sentiment, it’s even more unfortunate that as a majority, our culture continues to cohabitate with a species after countless horrific documented incidents and still fails to do the work in understanding them for the animal they are.

To own a dog, puts a responsibility on the human, one that I feel is entirely misunderstood. To bring a dog into your life is more than just financial responsibility & social fulfillment. You are accepting responsibility for the life of not just another living being, but an entirely different species. You are also accepting responsibility for the actions of that animal as it pertains to the well-being of the humans and animals around you. To expect a dog to assimilate into your life, to innately understand your expectations, to evaluate, think, and respond situationally the same as you is remarkably ignorant, but normalized in our western culture. A scary phenomenon, really. How did we get here?

“She gets jealous when…”

“That’s his couch…”

“My wife is his favorite…”

“She’ll growl for a second, but she’d never bite…”

These are narratives being put to behaviors that are indicative of deeper issues - these are signs and where there is one sign, there are always more. Our dogs are telling us something, but no one is listening. We have to to learn how to interpret and advocate.

Maybe that knowledge leads to fewer bites from otherwise neutral dogs who are put in uncomfortable situations.

Maybe it leads to behavior modification and rehabilitation for dogs and owners who require more extensive coaching and work.

Maybe that knowledge leads to more people putting their feelings aside for the betterment of dog, rehoming so the dog can be in an environment that is going to provide them the best quality of life.

Maybe that knowledge leads to more informed decisions for behavioral euthanasia for the safety of society and the well-being of the animal

We must be better.

Let’s talk crate training! The association and utilization of the crate is incredibly important for your dog, for your relationship. This is not simply a space used to potty train or deter puppy teething on furniture and expensive items. This isn’t a space for punishment, time-outs, etc. This is not a space that your dog should revolt stepping into, you shouldn’t have to force or coerce your dog to enter or persuade to spend time inside of it with a stimulating toy or chew. It’s the human’s inaccurate understanding of the the crate, it’s purpose, and it’s value that creates a dog’s negative association to it. I’ve crate trained dogs aged 2 months to 12 years old & it’s brought nothing but value to their existence, finally having a space that can represent unwavering refuge, peace, safety. Don’t we all love to go home to our own bed, our own bedroom? If your mattress were on the kitchen floor in the middle of a dinner party, how could anyone expect you to relax and unwind? You’d probably be irritable, you’d definitely seek a quieter more confined space where you’re not so vulnerable. So why neglect offering this space to your dog? Think about it.
