Sometimes life throws you curveballs that you just can't quite catch... life is currently throwing us such a curveball.

Many of you have seen that Gene is up for placement. If a suitable home cannot be found, he will go to his original home he was purchased from. All relevant contracts have been updated for this situation.

Mitch has also been returned to his wonderful and understanding breeder for placement, as well.

Both dogs must leave our care through no fault of their own but due to circumstances we cannot change and the hurdles that come with them.

Thank you for understanding we would like to keep our circumstances private. Please direct all inquiries about Gene to Elizabeth Vanderhoef who is graciously taking on the role of liaison for us.

She is also doing all the heavy lifting for us so that we can focus on our fires to put out.

Haymitch, back to his litter name of Hannibal, is available through Boxers of House Bairon.

Wibble is staying with us.

We ask that you respect our privacy in this matter and not ask us why things are not working out how we planned. Thank you.

No rest for the wicked!

I'll be switching gears completely from AIDC where I spoke with Leslie McDevitt about emotional cups and decompression cues, to breaking down my crate to gate routines for Clicker Expo Live in January!

Ask me your burning questions and I'll try to answer them with this talk!

Join Me at The Aggression in Dogs Conference!

I’m excited to be presenting at The Aggression in Dogs Conference 2025, a premier event dedicated entirely to aggression cases.

In our session,Confidence Unleashed, Leslie McDevitt and I be covering something a little more nuanced than counterconditioning and management:
✨️ Eating as a series of behaviors
✨️ Internal and external decompression cues
✨️ Bo-regulation & Biofeedback

We will also be discussing Merissa Dubraque-Kriedler's and my new pattern games called ✨️Grounding Games✨️

This session is designed for trainers, behavior consultants, veterinarians, shelter workers, etc. who want to help the dogs in their care get to a calmer state of mind around their triggers.

With an incredible lineup of experts, this conference is a must-attend event for professionals looking to advance their understanding of aggression behavior.

📅 September 26–28, 2025
📍 Charlotte, NC & Livestream Available

We are on the road with the dogs - that means travel prep

Here are some of what we did to prepare for the "on the road" portion of events

• I made sure every dog is safe and secure in a crate in the car. I have a dou le variocage in the back of my vehicle which is crash tested. And it has done its job once already. Crash tested harnesses exist too such as the SleepyPod Clickit car harness.

• We are utilizing sniffspot and state forests to allow our dogs time to move their body and break up the monotony of the road. This helps their emotional and mental wellbeing throughout the trip. Some gas stations and rest stops have fenced runs for your dog to romp in as well.

• We make sure to have safety information secured in an easily accessed location in the car in case anything happens while on the road. We keep ours in the glove box and our dogs always travel wearing their collars and tags.

There is so much more that goes into road trip planning with dogs. What are your favorite travel tips?

It was around this time, 9* years ago, that I first heard speak.

The place was Natick, MA, and the topics were something about reinforcement strategies and then aggression strategies..

It was a phenomenal weekend for someone barely a year into their training career.

I was working at Surefire Dogs as their desk help and assistant puppy class trainer.

Really, I just wanted to play agility with my Best Girl.

Anyway... 9 years later, I find myself on this most fascinating train to somewhere big.

Here's to the next 9 years of dog behavior geekery.

Hi I'm Haymitch.

You can call me Mitch! Or Mitchy Moo.
My family does.
But my name is “Haymitch” though.
That's important to my Dad, I guess…
My registered name is Hannibal of House Bairon.
That is important to my first mom,
I am here because my dad wrote me a love letter - well… they called it a “blog”, since it's my first birthday, but it reads like a love letter, and I want to share it with you now.

The world is scary and my to do list is long. So I am pausing to do some boring yard time with Mitch while I gather my thoughts and my strength to take the next steps.

Carry on and happy pride

We were babies back then.

I knew you would take me to great places but I couldn't have ever imagined where.

Forgive me, I am feeling nostalgic tonight
