Happy International Cat Day to our FAVORITE supervisor! 🖤

One of our girls has decided to take on her own pet business! You’ll see Ang around the resort, but with her business she isn’t just taking care of your cats and dogs - she’s taking on horses, small mammals, reptiles, etc. She’d be a GREAT option for a pet who may have more in depth medical things going on than a regular kennel can provide for. Think: post op, special needs dog, etc. Ang was my mentor when I started in the Veterinary world, and I full heartedly believe she’s going to rock it. Give her a follow and some love! 💕

A hard truth from the rescue world:

We receive far too many surrender requests that sound like this:

“My dog keeps destroying my house.”

“My dogs are fighting.”

“My dog has separation anxiety.”

“My dog is getting into everything.”

“My dog is becoming reactive.”

And when we suggest crate training, management, structure, and boundaries, we are often told:

❌ “I don’t believe in crates.”

❌ “I don’t want my dog locked up.”

❌ “Crates are cruel.”

❌ “It seems unfair.”

But rehoming the dog, and having them lose the only home they have ever known, is somehow considered the better option?

A crate is not a punishment. It is a management tool, a safety tool, and for many dogs, a place where they can finally relax.

What is truly unfair is giving a dog unlimited freedom before they’ve earned it, allowing them to practice destructive or inappropriate behaviors over and over again, and then deciding they need a new home when those behaviors become a problem.

Many behavioral issues don’t start because dogs are “bad.” They start because dogs have too much freedom and not enough structure.

A puppy doesn’t need access to your entire house.

A dog with separation anxiety doesn’t need the opportunity to destroy drywall for eight hours.

Dogs that have conflict with one another don’t need unrestricted access to each other when nobody is supervising.

They need management.

They need boundaries.

They need guidance.

They need opportunities to be successful.

Professional trainers, sport dog handlers, police K9 handlers, military handlers, and experienced dog owners use crates every day because they understand an important concept:

✨✨✨ Freedom is earned, not given ✨✨✨

A dog that can calmly rest in a crate is learning a life skill.

A dog that has structure is often a dog that feels more secure.

A dog that isn’t allowed to rehearse bad behaviors is a dog that is more likely to succeed long term.

Before deciding a dog needs a new home, ask yourself:

Have I actually taught this dog how to succeed?

Or have I given them too much freedom and expected them to figure it out on their own?

Sometimes the answer isn’t rehoming.

Sometimes the answer is a crate, structure, and consistency. ❤️🐾
