But why’d they have to put the sign way over there 😅 an orange sign feels like it’s important

Dogs learn patterns incredibly well, and asking for alternate behaviors is a great way to start building better habits while breaking the old habits. Sammy is a big jumper, so we’ve been working hard on calmer greetings and she’s getting so much better.

I’m in no way saying you have to use one or that all dogs should be trained with one. Absolutely not. But they can be used well and don’t destroy your dogs enthusiasm for recall when used correctly. And let’s all remember, the goal should be making dogs lives safer and more fulfilled and if someone is doing that then let’s support them.

Quick scheduling reminder!

Lately there have been quite a few last-minute cancellations and reschedules. I completely understand that life happens—people get sick, kids get sick, schedules change, and sometimes the weather doesn’t cooperate. Because of that, I’ve historically been pretty flexible with my cancellation policy.

However, the number of last-minute changes recently has made it difficult to keep the schedule running smoothly and often leaves empty time slots that can’t be filled on short notice.

Just as a reminder, my service agreement includes a 24-hour cancellation/rescheduling policy, and going forward this policy will need to be enforced.

Weather will remain the exception and decisions about weather-related cancellations will be made at my discretion based on safety and training conditions.

Thank you all for understanding and for supporting my small business!

Stop faking service dogs. Service dogs are amazing animals and are considered medical equipment for those who need them. Pretending your dog is a service dog does a disservice to those who truly need them, and puts real service dogs at risk. We all know your dog is cute and you want to take them everywhere, but that’s not enough of a reason to pretend.

Part 3 - Teach your puppy how to walk next to you on a leash 🐾

part two! Teach your puppy how to walk on a leash in 4 easy steps 🐾

Let’s all get this through our heads: with the exception of a dog park, where everyone walking through the gates is consenting to a free for all, your dog does not have the right to enter the personal bubble of other dogs without permission. Every dog has a right to enjoy the world safely and to their personal space. If you can’t call your dog back to you, they should not be off-leash. If you choose to do so anyway and then harass people who are advocating for their dogs…. You’re the as***le here. 🤷‍♀️

I wish more new puppy owners knew this 👇

Taking your puppy to the dog park isn’t the kind of socialization most people think it is. In fact, it’s one of the most common ways I see leash reactivity and frustration start.

Here’s what happens: your puppy learns that every dog they see is a potential playmate. Fast forward a few months, and now they’re on leash losing their mind because they can’t go say hi... barking, pulling, lunging… all that fun stuff.

Real socialization is about teaching your puppy how to exist calmly around other dogs and distractions, not just letting them run wild.I know dog parks seem like the easy option, but trust me, skipping them now can save you a lot of behavior problems later. 🐶

👉 If you know a new puppy owner who’s thinking about the dog park, share this with them — it could save them a lot of stress (and their pup too!).

10 weeks & 20lbs 🪿

Goose has entered his ✨chaos era ✨. Food motivation has gone way up this week, and brought with it a few more brain cells. He might be entering a fear period as the world is just a little bit spookier than it was, but he’s still very much a confident little pup who loves to play.

… oh and we’re jumping on coffee tables now so that’s cool 🥴
