Training Tuesday 🐾

We had our first group training session in partnership with Lending Paws Pet Care, and it was such a great experience!

This crew showed up ready to learn, and we worked through some incredibly important real-life skills, including socialization, leash neutrality, and proper dog introductions.

Group training is such a great way for owners to practice around controlled distractions, build confidence, and learn how to better manage their dogs in real-world situations.

Looking forward to many more sessions with this crew!

This may be an unpopular take, but it needs to be said.

So many people see the animal welfare crisis and immediately think, “I should start a rescue.”

And while the heart behind that is usually in the right place, the reality is that running a rescue is a full-time job filled with logistics, liability, medical bills, foster coordination, fundraising, emergencies, paperwork, and constant decision-making.

Meanwhile, there are already established rescues doing the work every single day that desperately need support.

Before you start something new, look around.

Find a reputable local rescue.
Ask what they need.
Offer your time, skills, resources, connections, or expertise.

Foster. Transport. Volunteer. Fundraise. Take photos. Help with admin. Update profiles. Plan events. Share posts. Make calls. Write grants.

You do not have to start a rescue to save lives.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is help an existing rescue do the work better, faster, and more sustainably.

Thinking about fostering a dog? Here are 5 essentials every foster home should have 🐾

First things first: most rescues and shelters will provide supplies as needed, so please don’t let the lack of “stuff” stop you from fostering.

But if you plan to foster often and you’re able to build your own little foster kit, these items can make the transition smoother, safer, and less stressful for both you and your foster dog.

A crate�: a safe place to decompress, rest, and learn routine.

A slip leash�: a secure tool for transport, potty breaks, vet visits, and those first few days of adjustment.

Food and water bowls: simple, but necessary. Bonus points for stainless steel and easy-to-clean options.

A dog bed�: every foster dog deserves a soft place to land while they figure out that they’re safe.

Enrichment toys�: mental stimulation matters. A stuffed frozen Kong can help with crate time, boredom, anxiety, and decompression.

Bonus items for safe transport:
�A car seat belt, car cover, and properly fitted harness.
Transporting dogs safely and securely is a big part of fostering. You may be picking them up from the shelter, taking them to the vet, bringing them to adoption events, or heading to meet and greets. Safe car gear helps keep your foster dog secure and makes every ride less stressful.

You don’t need a perfect setup to foster. You just need patience, structure, and a safe place for a dog to land.

Fostering saves lives. And sometimes, a crate, a leash, a bowl, a bed, a toy, and a safe ride are the first pieces of a dog’s fresh start. 🧡

Rescue has hit a bottleneck.

Every day, small rescues are being asked to take in more dogs than they have fosters, funds, or space for. Open intake shelters are overflowing. Backyard breeding is unchecked. Housing restrictions are forcing families to give up pets. Medical and training costs are rising. Donations are down. Adoptions are slower.

And through all of it, small volunteer-powered rescues are still trying to be the bridge between overcrowded shelters and forever homes.

But that bridge cannot hold without support.

If you want to help, you don’t have to do everything. Just do something.

Foster.
Donate.
Volunteer.
Share posts.
Adopt locally.
Spay and neuter.
Report backyard breeders.
Support the rescues doing the work in your own community.

Rescue is not just one organization saying yes. It is an entire community choosing not to look away.

Please don’t let the bridge crumble.

F@(K Backyard Breeders.🤬

Backyard breeding is not harmless.

It is not “just one litter.”�It is not “letting them experience motherhood.”�It is not a quick way to make extra cash.

It is one of the reasons shelters are overcrowded, rescues are drowning, and perfectly good dogs are dying with nowhere to go.

We do not just need more laws written on paper. We need real enforcement. We need consequences. We need people to stop looking the other way when dogs are being bred over and over in unsafe, irresponsible conditions.

And we all have a role to play.

If you are breeding dogs: just stop.🛑
If you see backyard breeding in your neighborhood: report it.
If your pets are not fixed: spay and neuter them.

Because the shelters and rescues cannot keep cleaning up this crisis alone.

Training Tuesday: Puppy Edition 🐾

Puppy training may not always look like “traditional” obedience training, but don’t let that fool you. The work you put in early matters.

At this stage, training is less about perfect commands and more about building a foundation your puppy can grow from.

That means:

Crate training so they learn how to settle safely.

Teaching calm so they don’t turn into tiny chaos gremlins every time life gets exciting.

Building confidence through positive exposure to new sights, sounds, people, places, and experiences.

Giving them healthy outlets for their energy so they don’t create their own, usually by chewing your shoes, your furniture, or your last nerve.

Starting young sets your puppy up for success, but it also sets you up for less frustration later.

Because the cute puppy behaviors? They’re a lot less cute when your dog is 70 pounds and still has no boundaries.

Training starts now, even if it looks like crate games, leash foundations, calm routines, confidence building, and learning how to exist in the world without losing their mind.

Your future dog will thank you.

And honestly? So will your future self.

One of the biggest mistakes we make with rescue dogs is assuming love alone will fix everything.

Yes, they need love. They also need structure. They need decompression. They need clarity. They need boundaries. They need someone to show them how to safely exist in a world that may feel brand new, overwhelming, or unpredictable.

Rescue dogs are not broken. Many of them have simply never been taught what we expect from them.

Training gives them confidence. It creates communication. It helps them settle, trust, and understand their role in the home.

When we provide rescue dogs with guidance instead of guilt, we give them the best chance to succeed.

After nearly 300 days sitting in a cold shelter kennel, Sanrio’s time was up.

Yesterday, at the 11th hour, we stepped in to rewrite his story.

Sanrio has been waiting almost a year for someone to see him. To believe in him. To give him the chance every shelter dog deserves.

And yesterday, he finally got his freedom ride.

But Sanrio’s story doesn’t end with leaving the shelter. In many ways, this is where the real work begins.

After spending that much time in a kennel, Sanrio needs time, structure, and support to learn how to grow and heal outside of the shelter environment. He is not a bad dog. He is not a lost cause. He is a dog who has been overlooked for far too long and needs guidance, confidence, and a team willing to invest in him.

So that’s exactly what we’re giving him.

Sanrio is heading into an intensive training program that will help bring out the best in him, give him the tools he needs, and put him on the path toward the forever home he has waited so long for.

But we cannot do it without your help.

We need to raise $1,500 to cover Sanrio’s training program.

Please give to Sanrio’s campaign and help us show him that freedom was only the beginning.

Donate to his campaign 💸: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/bbrcampaign-sanrio/
💙Venmo: Braveheartbulliez-Rescue
💙Paypal: [email protected]

Because after almost a year of waiting, this boy deserves every chance we can give him. 🖤

🙏🏼Donate today to support Sanrio’s fresh start.

I promise, I’m not anti-trick training. Shake, spin, roll over, high five, all of that can be fun.

But if your dog is pulling you down the street, barking at every dog they see, jumping on guests, ignoring recall, or struggling to settle in the house, we have bigger priorities.

Professional training should focus on the skills that make your life easier and your dog’s world bigger: leash manners, neutrality, recall, place, thresholds, calm public behavior, and clear communication.

Once you understand how to teach and reinforce behavior, you can absolutely teach the fun stuff too.

But first? We need build to the foundation.

Socialization isn’t about saying hi to every dog, person, cart, or sound.
It’s about teaching your dog how to exist calmly in the world without pressure, excitement, or fear.

Neutrality builds confidence.
Structure creates clarity.
And calm behavior comes from guidance—not constant interaction.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice or flashy “quick fix” programs, there is another option.
✨ Cut through the noise of board & train.
Get one-on-one training where you and your dog learn together, in real-life environments, at your pace.

📩 Reach out—sessions are available.
🐾 Rescue discounts offered, because every dog deserves the right support.
