🐕 Does your dog go absolutely feral the moment they spot a squirrel, a cat, or a skateboarder? That's prey drive — and it's completely natural! But when it takes over, it can become a real safety concern. 🚗⚠️
Prey drive isn't just about hunting. It's a hardwired sequence of behaviours — from orienting and stalking all the way through to the chase — and understanding it is the first step to managing it. 🧠

Here's what you need to know:
🔍 Prey drive follows a predictable 5-stage sequence
🐾 Different breeds express it differently
⚡ The more your dog practises chasing, the stronger the habit becomes
✅ There are science-based steps you can take to manage it safely
🎯 And you don't need to eliminate it — just redirect it!

I've put together a detailed infographic breaking all of this down clearly, and I also have a full video on YouTube walking you through everything 👇

😣 Long nails can change your dog's posture and cause joint pain. If you can hear their nails on the hardwood floors, it's time for a trim.

This Mother’s Day hits a little harder with an unexpected passing of one of our momma dogs being less than two weeks ago

We lost our beautiful Chihuahua, Bug.
Shortly after she had a section done, throwing a clot, and shortly after, her daughter joined her.

We have Shrimp, and he is doing great. But it’s still a loss that has a tiny … but mighty hole in our hearts.

Each benchmark Shrimp hits only means more days without her.

We hope he grows and grows.. so I can see her in his eyes. I hope to say you are just like your mother..

Happy Mother’s Day

Cherish every moment 🐾❤️

🐾🐾🐾Thank you for everyone’s patience in reply- when we are occupied, our focus is often on our dogs and our current clients, and puppy support.

Critical care is a 24/7 job.. and hand raising is only one part of the day, as we coordinate operations for multiple facilities, and services outside of our personal program.

We will catch up on messages over the next month- please feel free to remessage if you are still needing a reply. Puppy owners are always welcomed to message or call for support. Call twice for anything urgent only.🐾🐾🐾
