Thats a wrap. The Summer Socialization Event was an absolute amazing day.
Pavillions may have been double booked, we may not have had enough picnic tables but the community and family we have created in this dog world is somthing I cherish. To be able to see a dog who is nervous and unsure coming in and leave wagging their tail and smiling is an experience that will never get old. Even if they don't, we try and tweak what we need to to help the best we can. To help guide and help owners feel understood and help their pets in the best way possible, thats why we do it.
Our Socialization event was not only helping nervous dogs but this time it also turned into a little doggie party. Dogs who new eachother socialized, dogs who were new and needed a little extra help the owners excepted. We helped the super nervous pups and their owners while everyone communicated and showed patience when they needed it. We were able to work with the dogs that can't be around other dogs all at the same time.
The way this event gives dogs another chance but also brought a whole community together is all I ever hoped for.
Its all thanks to my amazing friends and all the amazing doggie parents.
Helping owners and dogs find what they are looking for in training is my favorite part of this whole career.
So thank you.
I want to give a special shout out
