Forget ghosts and skeletons.

We’ve got REAL horror stories. 👻

From “IT’S OKAY, HE’S FRIENDLY”, to puppies with a passion for home renovations, these are the things that keep dog trainers and pet parents up at night. 💀

What’s your biggest dog parent horror story? Tell us below 👇

We promise to only laugh a little. 🎃🐾

Ever had one of those days where every little thing gets on your nerves, and then ONE more thing happens and you lose it? 🫠

Welcome to the club... and our dogs are in it, too!

Maybe your dog didn't sleep well. Then the neighbor's dog barked at them through the fence. Then a motorcycle went flying by. And THEN the doorbell rang.

Suddenly, your dog is barking like the world is ending over something they normally wouldn't think twice about. 🫠

We call this "trigger stacking."

What makes it even harder is that triggers aren't always scary things! Excitement, frustration, discomfort, and even positive experiences can contribute to that buildup.

So what can you do?

👀 Pay attention to the little things that might be adding up.

🚩 Reduce unnecessary stressors when you can (maybe avoid a vet visit, meeting new dogs and a groomer visit all on the same day...).

💜 Give your dog opportunities to rest, decompress, and recover.

Some times the best thing we can do for our dogs isn't more exercise or training. It's to set them up to relax.

Save this for the next time your pup is having an off day and see what triggers you can identify!

Some exciting updates from the Where Sit Happens team! 🐾💜

We've been growing behind the scenes, and we figured it was time for a little introduction (and a few updates)!

🐾 Meet Sara!
If you've joined us for a Sunday group class or Big Feelings Club recently, you may have already met her! Sara brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our team and works with dogs and their humans through group classes, private training, and behavior consulting. We're so excited to have her as part of the WSH family!

💜 Big news for Sandy!
Sandy is officially stepping into a FULL-TIME role with us! 🎉 You've probably met Sandy through class over the last couple of years, cheering on your dog's victories, and helping our students build their skills and confidence. She's also added Tuesday evening group classes to her schedule, giving you even more opportunities to train with her!

⭐ And what about Jess?
She's still here, we promise! 😂 These days, she is spending much of her time working with behavior cases, developing new programs and classes, pursuing continuing education and continuing to dream up ways to make Where Sit Happens and even better for dogs and their people.

As we grow, one thing isn't changing: our commitment to helping dogs and humans understand each other, work together, and have a whole lot of fun along the way!

We're so excited about what's ahead, and we're grateful to have you and your dogs along for the ride! 💜🐾

Fun fact: This ring gate at Day School isn’t exactly Fort Knox. All three of these dogs could easily knock it over if they wanted to.

But boundaries are something dogs can learn, too!

With practice, consistency, and reinforcement, dogs can learn that a barrier means “hang out on this side,” even when there’s nothing physically stopping them from pushing right through 🐾
