I don't know about y'all, but with these icy conditions, loose-leash walking and off-leash reliability are more valuable than ever. When the roads and sidewalks are one big ice skating rink, having a dog that pulls or lunges on leash can quickly turn a simple walk into a safety risk. Teaching calm, controlled walking helps keep both you and your dog safe, especially when footing is slippery 🥶🧊

Next up is darling little Jamie! This adorable cavapoo puppy came in struggling with severe separation anxiety. She absolutely hated the crate and could jump out of playpens and over gates when left alone. Over time, she made incredible progress, going from not being crated at all to sleeping comfortably in her crate through the night and staying relaxed in her crate when we were gone. Along the way, she also learned how to walk nicely on a leash and built a strong foundation with her basic commands. And she was a big hit with the baby (I'm not sure who loved who more, Gavin or her)!

The key to overcoming complex issues like separation anxiety is consistency. Consistency. Consistency. Keeping your dog crated throughout the day, even when you are home, is super important in keeping anxiety at bay, even for adult dogs!
