Please. Play with your dogs. Play with your cat. Play with your kids. It’s heartbreaking to see how constant connection to our phones have dominated our lives. I am absolutely guilty like everyone else but I am changing that. ♥️

Always give them time and attention 💔

There is nothing natural about large numbers of unfamiliar dogs partaking in high-intensity activity in a dog park, and this shouldn’t be the benchmark for a social dog. If your dog is not their best in such an environment, you are not doing anything wrong. 👏👏 There is nothing wrong with your dog. 👏👏 Your dog is normal. 👏👏

Today’s “Fill These Trucks” donation drive was a HUGE SUCCESS!!! Thanks to the very generous donations received from everyone, we were able to completely fill 2 pick up trucks. Supplies included what Kelly and I purchased with the cash donated- y’all….it was $337!!!! We spent every dime at Walmart and dropped those supplies off with what was collected. Together, the people who helped us out today are contributing:

Sleeping bags
Propane cooktop
Flashlights with batteries
Lanterns
Fan
Children’s clothing of all sizes
Men’s socks
Women’s socks and underwear
TONS of canned goods, nuts, peanut butter, rice mixes, tuna packs, Vienna sausages, granola bars and much more!
Several cases of water
Baby food of all kinds
Baby things; pacifiers, diaper rash cream, ni***es, and more
Baby formula including soy based which was very thoughtful of a young Mom who’s own child can’t drink milk based ❤️
Diapers - adult and babies
Hygiene supplies of all kinds
Paper towels and toilet paper
Blankets
Towels and wash clothes
Clay kitty litter
Several bags of cat food and kitten food

I’m sure I’ve forgotten something. I’m so incredibly grateful!!! Also to my friends and my Mom who spent the afternoon helping, donating and hanging out. My friends who made their trucks and their time available.

Last but NOT least is a shout out to Curry Warehouses who are transporting all of this and more! They are continuing their collection effort through next Friday. Employees are volunteering their time to stay and accept donations, to sort and to pack and prep them for heading South. Their packing supplies, warehouse space and rig are all donated. They’re rocking over there!

Thank you again, MOV!!! We are better together!! ❤️

TODAY IS THE DAY!!! There will be 4 pickup trucks ready to fill! Imagine the enormous impact we can have if each person in the area donated only one item! Amazing!

UPDATE: CANNED FOODS WITH A PULL TOP TAB IF POSSIBLE. BABY FOOD. GENTLY USED OR NEW TOWELS. CLAY CAT LITTER.

UPDATE: Baby bottles and various replacement ni***es are needed. Baby food, too!

Edited to add: Operation Air Drop has stated a pressing need for chewable Benadryl, bug spray, pre-mixed baby formula and foods that don’t require cooking such as mixed nuts, beef jerky….think of food you would take hiking.

There is also a great need for pet food and supplies. Many shelters and rescues are struggling to care for the animals.

Please read! Donation event for NC and TN.

‼️❣️ OPERATION FILL THOSE TRUCKS ❣️‼️

In cooperation with Curry Warehouses- On Saturday, October 5th from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm - I will have trucks parked at south side KMart taking donations for the survivors of Hurricane Helene in NC and TN. Once collected, all donations will be delivered to Curry where they will transport to NC with the donations they’re also collecting.

My special requests are: dog food, cat food and clay cat litter. ONLY clay cat litter. NO “scoopable”, please.

!!!! NO CLOTHING EXCEPT AS LISTED !!!!

Accepted clothing will be - new packages of socks (all sizes for men, women and children) and new packages of underwear (all sizes for men, women and children).

I have attached an additional supply request list. An updated request from Operation Air Drop is new towels.

Let’s send NC and TN some MOV love and FILL THOSE TRUCKS!!!! See y’all Saturday
😁❤️😁❤️

It’s no secret that I’m not positive only. I’m skilled and educated which I have made the effort to accomplish and this means I can use tools in a non-harmful and effective way. Sometimes, the only thing between another dog surrendered to a shelter or worse is a prong collar. I’ve seen it in real life.

Putting a dog down and condemning them to death because you refuse to use any method that isn't "positive only" isn't very positive...

Sedating a dog into a zombie because you don't like other training tools isn't very positive...

Restricting a dog to a confined life without the chance to thrive isn't very positive...

Telling someone to put down their 8 month old working line dog for having lots of energy and acting like an 8-month-old working dog isn't very positive...

Guilting a young family that lives in an apartment into adopting a large dog with behavior issues isn't very positive...

Telling an older lady their dog would be better off dead then using a prong collar that helps her walk and control her dog isn't very positive....

Bashing other trainers because they don't train dogs using only one method isn't very positive...

Having an owner put a 5 month old puppy on 400mg of trazadone isn't very positive...

Harming dogs because of your own ego isn't very positive...

All of the things I just listed are REAL things that owners have dealt with by "certified positive only trainers and behaviorists."

Anyone can be certified online for $50. It means nothing.

Dogs and their humans deserve real trainers who care and emphasize for both ends of the leash. Trainers who will tailor training to each dog in front of them. Don't be fooled by the "positive" sounding approach. That's just fancy marketing from people who care more about their ego and lining their pockets rather than helping the dog community.

I've chosen to speak out on this because I care and hate seeing dogs harmed. The positive only cult is doing more harm than good to dogs. Dogs and owners that are already having a difficult time. Enough is enough.
