Dog Help Now

I rarely do p***c post of my sessions these days. This was video #1 of our session. I decided some folks might find this video helpful and or interesting. For my clients I will also post this video in the private group with more comments and the follow up video's of the session. This is a resiliency building exercise focused on little Abby. If you decide to watch this video all the way through I will explain and number of things and why the way I handle this helps Abby. Also doing this with the pack helps here emotionally and mentally rather than relying totally on the human. All though I am a strong build the bond trainer and handler I am very much very much a teach your dog resiliency, confidence and stand on your own four paws. So many dogs I work with today don't have that ability. Oka here goes....

Back in time close up of my box Sox with his sock sleeves after growth removal on right foot toe area in March.

This is a moment back in time. My boy sox had a growth removed in March on one of his paws so we could biopsy it. Was cancer and they say it is not the type that spreads. I didn't want to keep him in a cone for two weeks or have to keep him crated after a couple of days. So I found sock sleeves. The right side only one was not going to come in time so I bought the two legs. Made him look like a cute black bear when he laid his head on his paws. From left to right: Sneaker (my little boy), Abby (mini Sox) Celeste and Linda's little girl), Sox (my big boy) and Ren (Sharon's boy)

Finally officially done with Physical Therapy. Getting focused on building my business back. Wow what a journey this last year and half has been. It still amazes me how the surgeon was able to glue, plate, screw and wire my broken shattered ulna bone back together. Feeling very grateful!!!!

After 14 years of dedicated service to our K-9 community, our beloved dog trainer Cindy was involved … Kami Raabe a besoin de votre soutien pour Cindy Gehring

I believe in miracles so I ask that we all keep working on her. I don't know what her miracle will look like but that is my request. Thank you in advance for the prayers, love and healing. Baby Sam here is a wonderful angel friend for you and your parents. 💕.

9.10.24 Little Roxy came to me because she was nervous around other dogs. Roxy would get scared and lunge on the leash making their walks very stressful. We helped Roxy to me more confident around other dogs and gave her dog mom Kelly some help with building skills and confidence too. To end this session we let her have some fun time with her new dog friends and introduce her to Obee who is doing a Board and train because he too was nervous and insecure. I was so proud and happy with both Roxy and her dog mom because they have made such great progress. I was excited for Obee because this was his first full on play with another dog. It has taken us just under two weeks to help Obee let go and start being dog he really is.

Having trouble with skunks?

Skunks are cute animals, right? From a faraway distance, they are petite and have silky black and white fur. They seem perfectly harmless, which they are, but

8.2024 Two old friends sunning themselves. My little dog Sneaker (tan and brown with that smile on his face loving the sun) hangs out with Flynn. For Flynn we are home away from home. Sneaker is 12 years old this month. My little master teacher is now
semi-retired. He choose when he wants to work now. Must say he is still interested in helping quite a bit. Like me he just tires out sooner...LOL. Senior citizens what can you say.

7.30.24 How to make your trainer proud and happy. I know this will look like a place to most but for Mia it is self control helper. She loves people and and in particular the workers that come over. She uses the trampoline to help herself control her joyful energy and then get the biggest pay-off ever. See your worker friends when it is appropriate. How great is that?

7.12.24 Don't let Sox's handsome innocent face fool you...this boy started out challenging and it was a rollicoster ride both behavioral and medically. Thank God for medical insurance. I can't believe he is 6 1/2 years old. I adopted him when he was one year old. It has taken a lot on both our parts but I love this crazy boy and little Sneaker finally seems to have decided he belongs with us. Sneaker was in love with my dog Ace who died in 2018. Sox was a hard sell after Ace. But Sox would kill for my little dog Sneaker as he proved one night when my little dog Sneaker decided to face off with a adolescent possom who wasn't playing possom with Sneaker who is 13 pounds. Happy to say the possom did live to tell the story. Never underestimate the fierceness of a dog protecting its freind.

Booboo
Beloved Pack member
2012 – 5.22.24
For all that are not in the private group and have had the benefit of Sharon and Booboo’s assistance and help with your dogs:
We say goodbye to Booboo. One of my friend/roommate Sharon’s beloved dogs, my little Sneaker’s best friend and one of our working pack and family members.

Boo had a wild heart. He liked everything his way and he was sure he could get you to do whatever he wanted. He was a different kind of dog. The deer loved him and would even let him be around their fawns. He protected the area that the fawns were at. He love to do what we called furminating. He would size up the furry dogs to chase and furminate them. My last dog Ace taught him how to really use his voice (not sure that was such a great thing) but my big dog Sox loved it. Sox and Booboo loved to run out the door and bark at each other loudly every morning and evening. Sneaker and Booboo loved to hang out and Sneaker loved grooming Booboo. Booboo and Ren helped many or our clients’ dogs to learn to be dogs again. Our home is a working home so all our dogs work using their particular gifts and talents. Booboo you will be missed and are loved deeply. Goodbye my K9 friend. Enjoy all of our K9 friends that have gone before you. I imagine my boy and your friend Ace meeting you as you left us and the two of you having a raucous reuniting. You are in great paws now my K9 freind. Enjoy the your pack in dog heaven.
