This is Kono. When she hears a noise in the hallway or someone comes to the door, her excitement kicks in FAST. So lately, weโ€™ve been working on one important skill- staying calm and holding place while people come in and out of the house.

Learning impulse control isnโ€™t always easy, but Kono is putting in the work and getting better every single day. Weโ€™re proud of you, Kono ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

My girl is 9 today! ๐Ÿฅน Maizee has the biggest personality, the sweetest heart, and a bright spirit that you canโ€™t help but love. Sheโ€™s also a huge reason I ended up doing what I do.

Sheโ€™s the dog that made me want to understand dogs betterโ€ฆ how they think, how they communicate, and how we can show up for them in a way that actually makes sense to them. And thatโ€™s what I try to help my clients withโ€” building a relationship with their dog that feels clear, connected, and trusting.

Weโ€™ve done a lot of life together, and I feel so beyond blessed I get to be her โ€œdog momโ€ in this lifetime. ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป๐Ÿพ

Happy Birthday to my Maizee girl ๐Ÿค

Meet Zuki and Emi! ๐Ÿพ We spent some time at Abt working around distractions and new stimuli. Zuki can get nervous with loud or unfamiliar noises, so a big part of her training has been building confidence through solid leash communication and exploring new environments. Weโ€™re helping her understand that no matter whatโ€™s happening around her, she can sit, focus, and check in with us.

Every small win- like pausing to look up during a sudden sound- is a step toward confidence and trust. Here are some cute pictures and a peek at her progress ๐Ÿ’›

Winter weather can make it harder to get outside with our dogs for long walks and exercise. When dogs are spending more time indoors, mental enrichment becomes especially important. โ˜ƒ๏ธ

A few simple ways to mentally stimulate your dog this winter:

๐Ÿพ Food scavenger hunts & scent workโ€” sniffing is deeply tiring for dogs and taps into their natural instincts. Even 10โ€“15 minutes can leave your dog feeling satisfied.

๐Ÿพ Frozen kongs, lick mats & puzzles โ€” licking and problem solving provide calming, soothing mental stimulation and help reduce boredom indoors.

๐Ÿพ Training & structured time โ€” short, intentional training sessions (even practicing commands your dog already knows) give dogs structure, clarity, and a sense of purpose.

Mental enrichment doesnโ€™t have to be complicated or time-consuming. Small, intentional activities can go a long way in supporting calm behavior and making winter more enjoyable for both you and your dog ๐Ÿค
