A little late, but the appreciation goes far beyond just one week! 🐾❤

Last week was National Veterinary Technician Week, and we wanted to take a moment to recognize not only the incredible vet techs out there, but the entire veterinary community!

Many of us here at MIK9 started our careers in veterinary medicine, so we understand firsthand the challenges, the long days, the difficult moments, and the emotional toll this field can take. But we also know just how rewarding it can be and how much heart goes into caring for every animal that walks through those doors.

We are incredibly thankful for the relationships we've built with our veterinary partners. Having trusted clinics and dedicated professionals to work alongside means so much to us, and we truly don't know what we'd do without them!

When Good Dog Veterinary Care asked us to help celebrate their team, we were honored to be a part of it! We loved having the opportunity to show their staff a little extra appreciation for everything they do.

To all the vet techs, veterinarians, assistants, receptionists, and support staff — thank you for the work you do, the compassion you show, and the difference you make every single day. Your hard work never goes unnoticed!

People often describe their relationship with their dog as a strong bond because the dog wants to be with them all the time. The dog follows them from room to room. The dog can’t settle without them. The dog becomes distressed when they’re not around.

And because the attachment is strong, we assume the relationship is healthy.

But are those actually the same thing?

To me, a healthy bond creates confidence. An unhealthy attachment creates dependence.

A bonded dog enjoys being with you, but they can also function without you. They trust you, but they don’t fall apart when you’re not present. The relationship makes them stronger, not weaker.

An attached dog, on the other hand, may become so dependent on your presence that they never learn how to stand on their own.

I think this is one of the reasons so many owners accidentally struggle with separation issues. Every moment of the relationship is spent reinforcing togetherness, but very little time is spent teaching independence.

The goal shouldn’t be to create a dog that needs you every second of every day. The goal should be to create a dog that trusts you enough to handle life even when you’re not there.

The strongest relationships aren’t the ones where two individuals can’t function apart.

They’re the ones where both individuals are stronger because of the relationship.

That’s true for humans.

And I think it’s true for dogs, too.

Sometimes I think we forget how strange our world must feel to dogs.

We expect them to walk calmly through parking lots, ignore strangers, pass other dogs on sidewalks, ride in elevators, hear sirens, tolerate vacuum cleaners, stay home alone for hours, and somehow understand the rules of a world that wasn’t built for them.

Then we get frustrated when they struggle.

The reality is that very little about modern life is natural for dogs.

A neighborhood full of fences, cars, delivery drivers, bicycles, children, and dogs they can’t interact with isn’t natural. Being expected to ignore distractions all day long isn’t natural. Living in a world where they’re constantly surrounded by things they want to investigate but can’t isn’t natural.

None of that means those things are bad.

It just means we should stop expecting our dogs to automatically know how to navigate them.

This is one of the reasons I believe training is such an important part of responsible dog ownership. Not because we’re trying to control our dogs. Because we’re trying to help them succeed in a world they didn’t create.

When we provide structure, boundaries, guidance, and clear communication, we’re not asking our dogs to become robots. We’re teaching them how to live comfortably in our world.

And that’s really the deal we’ve made with them. We brought them into a human world full of human expectations. The least we can do is help them understand it.
