Sensitive Dog

✨Every dog is a teacher.✨Millie reminds us how good it feels for dogs to work and think! She showed an impressive amount of mental stamina and learned all sorts of things from leash training to scent detection! …And she even had some “gas left in the tank” for treat puzzles at the end! Go Millie! You did great today and we know you’re going to rock it in life with your Mom! 🤍 ⚽️

Cuteness off the charts in our studio! 😍 Katie was a big part of that. Katie’s parents brought her in because she’s been getting a little more cranky about being touched on certain parts of her body. In some cases, pain can contribute to a dog’s touch sensitivity and overall crankiness, which is so understandable. We all get cranky when we’re in pain, and it’s something in dog behavior that is often overlooked. We talked about all the ways Katie’s humans can help her feel her best in her body, including targeted veterinary support, along with some great training exercises that can help her feel more relaxed and peaceful. She had so much fun in our studio. You’re awesome, Katie! 😍

Butter is going to be a big sister soon! And she’s wagging about all the great tools and info she and her parents learned to help the family welcome a new (human) baby. Congratulations, Butter, Mom and Dad! 🍼🐾💛

✨Every dog is a teacher✨ Ranger reminds us that dogs can be sophisticated and still have plenty of growing up to do. When a dog holds opposite qualities like this, it’s important to support both sides of who they are as they learn.📝This boy had us 🤭 cracking up 🤣 while he worked on new life skills and practiced being more respectful of people’s space, clothing, and personal belongings.😅 The photo of him on his back was after a good dose of mental exercise.
