Does this make trims more fun for the dog, YES! She can opt in for cookies. I also let her opt out. Games make everything more fun!

Adorable or uncomfortable? Sweet or stressed?

Back in 2006, I thought this picture of my new puppy was absolutely adorable—look at that face! Fast forward to today, and I realize he wasn’t giving me a “hey, look how cute I am!” moment, but rather a “uh, I’m feeling really uncomfortable here” vibe. 😬

Turns out, the Whale Eye (when your pup turns their head just slightly away but their eyes stay locked on you) is actually a sign of stress – anxiety, fear or discomfort—not a mischievous wink, as I once thought! 🐶👀

Our furry friends are always sending us little signals. I just wish I had known that back then, so I could’ve given him the space he needed! Dogs really do have their own way of talking to us—if we only knew how to listen.

Girls really do just want to have fun, huh? 😂

The next time you think your dog has lost it’s mind by shredding toys - ask yourself - what would my dog do if it lived in the wild? Surely it would shred things! Love Up Pup has ideas that don’t involve buying lots of toys

It’s not a cone of shame it’s a collar for a baller. At least that’s what my mom says.

Hi there! ⭐ I’m Lorraine—welcome to Love Up Pup, LLC!

Here’s a little about me: I’m all about helping dogs and humans thrive together. My passion? Exploring how you can make life with your pups easier and more fun for both four-leggeds and two-leggeds!

As a graduate of the Victoria Stilwell Academy and a certified Family Dog Mediator, I work with amazing clients to teach, learn, and grow alongside their dogs. For me, it’s not just about “fixing” behaviors”; it’s about understanding them, meeting dogs where they are, and building stronger relationships rooted in mutual trust.

Contact me if you’d like:

🐶 A better relationship with your dog
🐕 More of the behaviors that you want to see, and less of those that you don’t
🥰 An increased ability to meet their needs so that you and your dog are happy, connected, and a joy to be around

In my years of training and raising dogs, I’m always fascinated by trying to understand why dogs do what they do, whether it is jumping, pulling, or barking—and helping find creative, efficient ways to meet your dog’s natural, instinctual needs within the context of your modern, busy life.
