There are SO MANY amazing veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and others in the companion animal care space. I’m immensely grateful for all of the care professionals I work with who keep my animals’ and my clients’ animals healthy. Today I want to shout out two veterinarians who play a role in my dogs’ care:  and . Tag your favorite vet and let them know they’re appreciated!

I am a 21st century dog….
-I'm a Malinois.
Overskilled among dogs, I excel in all disciplines and I'm always ready to work: I NEED to work.
But nowadays I get asked to chill on the couch all day everyday.

-I am an Akita Inu.
My ancestors were selected for fighting bears.
Today I get asked to be tolerant and I get scolded for my reactivity when another approaches me.

-I am a Beagle.
When I chase my prey, I raise my voice so the hunters could follow.
Today they put an electric collar on me to shut up, and you make me come back to you - no running - with a snap of your fingers.

-I am a Yorkshire Terrier.
I was a terrifying rat hunter in English mines.
Today they think I can't use my legs and they always hold me in their arms.

-I'm a Labrador Retriever.
My vision of happiness is a dive into a pond to bring back the duck he shot to my master.
Today you forget I'm a walking, running, swimming dog; as a result I'm fat, made to stay indoors, and to babysit.

-I am a Jack Russell.
I can take on a fox, a mean badger, and a rat bigger than me in his den.
Today I get scolded for my character and high energy, and forced to turn into a quiet living room dog.

-I am a Siberian Husky.
Experienced the great, wide open spaces of Northern Europe, where I could drag sleds for long distances at impressive speeds.
Today I only have the walls of the house or small garden as a horizon, and the holes I dig in the ground just to release energy and frustration, trying to stay sane.

-I am a border collie
I was made to work hours a day in partnershipwith my master, and I am an unmistakable artist of working with the herd.
Today they are mad at me because, for lack of sheep, I try to check bikes, cars, children in the house and everything in motion.
I am ...
I am a 21st century dog.

I'm pretty, I'm alert, I'm obedient, I stay in a bag...but I'm also an individual who, from centuries of training, needs to express my instincts, and I am *not* suited for the sedentary life you'd want me to lead.

Spending eight hours a day alone in the house or in the garden - with no work and no one to play or run with, seeing you for a short time in the evening when you get home, and only getting a small toilet walk will make me deeply unhappy.

I'll express it by barking all day, turning your yard into a minefield, doing my needs indoors, being unmanageable the rare times I'll find myself outside, and sometimes spending my days sunk, sad, lonely, and depressed, on my pillow.

You may think that I should be happy to be able to enjoy all this comfort while you go to work, but actually I’ll be exhausted and frustrated, because this is absolutely NOT what I'm meant to do, or what I need to be doing.
If you love me, if you've always dreamed of me, if my beautiful blue eyes or my athletic look make you want me, but you can't give me a real dog's life, a life that's really worth living according to my breed, and if you can't offer me the job that my genes are asking, DO NOT buy or adopt me!

If you like the way I look but aren't willing to accept my temperament, gifts, and traits derived from long genetic selection, and you think you can change them with only your good will, then DO NOT BUY OR ADOPT ME.

I’m a dog from the 21st century, yes, but deep inside me, the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who pulled sleds, the one who guided and protected a herd still lives within.

So think **very** carefully before you choose your dog. And think about getting two, rather than one, so I won't be so very lonely waiting for you all day. Eight or ten hours is just a workday to you, but it's an eternity for me to be alone.

We are facilitating the rehoming of recent board & train graduate Scarlett. She is a German Shorthaired Pointer/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, and turns 1 year old in just a couple of weeks. Circumstances in our economy and return-to-work policies have forced her owners to make the very difficult decision to rehome her. She’s the best pup. She currently lives with a cat, loves dogs and people, did AMAZING in training, and would fit in well with pretty much any family with the time available to give her what she needs. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccines, crate trained, and will come with free training to help transition her to her new environment. Her owners love her enough to know that they can not provide her the life she deserves, so it’s my honor to help find that right home. If you’d like more information about her or would like to meet her, please DM or email me.

Mornings with board & train Maggie Mae: 45-minute alternating jog/walk on the treadmill, followed by 20-30 minutes rest on Place or in her crate, and *then* we head out to train. That's just the morning exercise.

Thinking about getting a husky but don't have a *minimum* of 2-3 hours every single day for rigorous exercise? Want a dog that likes to cuddle, and naps at the house waiting until you come home from work? Maybe consider another breed. 💁🏽‍♀️

Are you *already* a marathon runner? Distance cyclist? Or multiple miles per week hiker? And you're looking for a canine companion for the activities you're ALREADY doing? Great! A husky might just be the dog for you!

Have a husky and realize it may not be getting enough biological fulfillment? A treadmill is an excellent investment, as is a bike, skateboard, or even a weighted vest -- do what you can to let your husky RUN!

National Holistic Pet Day is a day to spotlight the importance of whole pet health, considering your pet’s wellness in both mind and body. Here are a few ways to help your dog live a more holistic life.

Holistic care: Holistic or naturopathic veterinarians take a more natural and preventative approach to healing, often recommending natural therapies such as homeopathy, herbalism, acupuncture, physical therapy and dietary changes before referring to pharmaceutical medicines. For my personal dogs, I utilize both conventional and holistic veterinary care. .holistic.vet

Mind: Reduce stress with consistent expectations, plenty of mental exercise, enrichment and time in nature.

Body: Support your dog’s well being with high quality nutrition, regular walks, exercise and movement.
