Meet this sweet girl 🤍

She’s a 2-year-old Great Pyrenees who originally came to me for a Board & Train. During her stay, her owner’s circumstances changed and they were no longer able to keep her, so she was transferred into my New Chapter K9 rehome program.

She is truly one of the sweetest dogs. She has a gentle, easygoing personality, walks beautifully on leash, and has a great recall. She is currently living with me on my 140-acre ranch and absolutely loves having the space and freedom to explore, roam, and do what Great Pyrenees were bred to do.

She does well with other dogs, animals, and kids, and has been an absolute joy to have here. She would especially love a home where she has some room to enjoy the outdoors and a family who appreciates the loyal, sweet nature of the breed.

She already has a great training foundation and is ready to find the right family for her next chapter. 🤍

We romanticize a lot of behavior in dogs because it feels good to us.

Following us everywhere becomes “he just loves me that much.”
Demanding attention becomes “she’s obsessed with me.”
Blocking people from us becomes “he’s protective.”
Panicking when we leave becomes “she just misses me.”

But those behaviors can also come from anxiety, insecurity, resource guarding, learned behavior, or simply never learning how to settle independently.

That doesn’t mean your dog doesn’t love you. It just means love isn’t always the reason for the behavior.

A strong relationship isn’t measured by how much your dog needs access to you every second. It’s measured by how safe they feel with you and how capable they are of still functioning when you’re not right there.

That’s the difference between attachment and dependence.

One of the biggest mistakes we make with dogs is making their behavior about us.

He’s not disrespecting you.
She’s not getting revenge.
A growl isn’t betrayal.
Walking away isn’t rejection.
And your reactive dog definitely isn’t trying to embarrass you in public.

Dogs are responding to what they’re experiencing, what they’ve learned, and what works for them in that moment.

The less we assign human motives to behavior, the easier it becomes to actually understand the dog in front of us and change the behavior.

Behavior is information. Stop taking it personal- learn from it instead.

Sometimes you just need to slow down, lay on the floor, and hug your dog.
Stay there a little longer.

Life moves so fast, and these little ordinary moments are so easy to overlook.

Your soul dog. The one who has been through every version of life with you. The one you know you’ll never find again in another dog.

Take the extra minute. Stay there a little longer. Take the picture.

Because one day, these are the moments you’ll wish you could have back.

I know I’ve been pretty quiet on here lately, but Top Paw K9 definitely hasn’t been quiet behind the scenes…..

Top Paw K9 has grown a lot over the last 7 years, and with that growth came the need to give each part of what we do its own space.

So let me explain!

❤️‍🔥Top Paw K9 Academy is where it all started and is still the foundation of everything we do. Now based at our Keenesburg ranch, the Academy is home to our training programs, including Board & Train, behavior modification, puppy programs and immersive, real-world training.

💖Top Paw K9 Denver Dog Day Camp is the newest part of Top Paw. Our Denver location is built around structured daycare, field trips, pack walks, private lessons and group classes. It’s daycare with purpose, not just a room full of dogs picking up bad habits and participating in chaos.

💝And then there’s New Chapter K9 Colorado. Formerly Rocky Mountain K9 Rescue, this is a rebrand of the rescue and rehoming work I’ve already been doing for years. It finally gives that side of Top Paw its own identity and mission.

Some dogs have come to me as puppies through my Raise & Train program, where I raise, socialize and train them before placing them with their future families. Others have come to me as adult dogs needing training, rehabilitation and a second chance. Every dog is different, but the goal is always the same: prepare them for the right home and give them the best chance at being successful there.

So far, I’ve been able to help 21 dogs find their next chapter.

🖤Three different parts of Top Paw. Three different purposes. One standard behind all of them.🖤

Top Paw K9 Academy: Communication. Trust. Connection.
