Last year, Rude managed to get the only photo in history where a corgi was the same size as a Beauceron, because Ryn was still a baby.

Fast forward to yesterday, and the universe has corrected itself.

The first time I met Haley was at agility with Rude & Tarot, and I made the very funny choice to ask if he was a Doberman. I knew he wasn’t, but if people can call my corgi “the Queen’s dog,” I’m allowed one bad breed joke.

In all seriousness though, Haley is one of those people who does a really good job advocating for her breed, and I love that about her. Beaucerons are still pretty uncommon, so a lot of people see a black and rust dog and assume Doberman, but Beaucerons are their own breed entirely. They’re an old French herding breed, bred to herd and guard livestock, and they’re powerful, athletic, thoughtful dogs with a lot of history to them.

Haley and I have had quite a few conversations about my interest in the breed over the years. They are showing up more and more, and the harlequin coat on Goldryn is always a fun trait.

Through her journey raising these dogs, I have seen her dedication to their everlasting adolescence. Beaucerons are known to be slow maturing in both mind and body, which has been shown through her public training and work with Tarot. She’s done a lot of work to create stability in these dogs, and I think I’ll stick with my ankle height herders.

As the crazy corgi lady, I can appreciate anyone who will use every opportunity to teach people about the dogs they love. Thanks for educating me Haley. Your longhaired Dobermans are cool!

Offbeat Canine x Fortunate K9 at Woof Wednesday 🧡

Four good dogs, local vendors, and two trainers who can’t go anywhere without turning it into a training field trip.

Rude, Gilly, Tarot, and Ryn got to spend the evening shopping, hanging out, and practicing the life skills that make dog friendly events actually enjoyable.

Thanks to The Derry Farmers Market for having us out.
And thank you to Haley and her double dew crew for meeting up.

Tater Tot checked back into Offbeat Canine for another vacation and immediately resumed his role as assistant manager. Rude was stoked that Tates vacation gave HIM some time off, especially after our busy weekend in Maine!

During this stay, Tate:

-joined Rude for woods walks and trail patrol
-served as a demo dog during group class
-helped supervise training lessons
-toured State Line Pet and Zoo Creatures
- spent his evenings lurking in the garden
- played with many friends
- and, of course, made plenty of time for professional relaxation

Tater Tot has been staying with me since he was a puppy, and at this point he fits into the routine like he’s on payroll. He can tag along for lessons, hang out in public, help me show other dogs the ropes, and then clock out for a nap like the seasonal volunteer he is.

Honestly, every boarding dog should aspire to be this easy to live with. If I can take your dog into my home every six months and have minimal work to do, we have both done our jobs for the dog. Great job to taters family ❤️

Dog owners are always like “I needed this” and sometimes what they needed was to learn how to let their dog be a dog.

Yeah, I do mean more than the neighborhood walk, stuffed food toys, aimlessly retrieving a ball with no impulse control in sight.

Biological fulfillment matters. It’s giving your dog safe, appropriate ways to do the things they’re naturally wired to do like sniff, chase, tug, shred, dig, search, carry, climb, chew, and use their brain. A lot of dogs are trying to meet those needs one way or another, and if we don’t give them an outlet that makes sense, they’ll usually find one on their own.

Working Alfies reactivity through play has been an amazing journey. Redirecting a dogs drive to work with you is a huge part of structured play, giving us chances to work with his drive productively around his triggers.

Training is important. Structure is important. But so is making sure your dog has a life that feels fulfilling to them, not just manageable to us.

Sometimes “I needed this” is really just watching your dog’s brain and body get what they’ve been asking for.

I know most of you are here for dogs, but if you live in New Hampshire, you know places like this matter too.

Family farms have always been part of the backbone of small towns. They’re the places you grow up passing on your way to school, stopping at with your family in the summer, and returning to years later for flowers, produce, or greenhouse plants. They’re part of what makes a town feel familiar.

I stopped by Smith Farm in Hudson and wanted to share a little bit of it here because I think places like this deserve to be appreciated, talked about, and supported while they’re still here.

If you’re local, go support your farmers. 🌻

The Crew takes over Bensons!
Yesterday we had: Tate, Winston, Alfred, Rams, Bruin, Butterscotch, Archie, and Nugget.

Thank you to the owners who came out! Amazing to see handlers I’ve instructed guide their dogs through real life. I appreciate you and your effort keeping up with the training.

When you vote for Offbeat Canine, you’re not just voting for a dog trainer.

You’re voting for the nervous first lesson dogs who learned how to settle into the world a little easier.
For the reactive dogs whose owners kept showing up, even when progress felt slow.
For the puppies learning how to grow into good dogs.
For the rescue dogs and the second chances.
For the owners who asked questions, practiced at home, changed routines, celebrated the small wins, and trusted me to be part of their dogs’ lives.

This page may have my name on it, but Offbeat has always been bigger than just me.

It’s every client who stuck it out.
Every dog who gave things a try.
Every family who referred a friend, shared a post, left a review, or sent me a photo update months later.
It’s the group walks, the field trips, the follow-up texts, the wins in parking lots, parks, pet stores, and living rooms.
It’s a whole community of people who care deeply about learning how to live better with their dogs.

Voting closes Wednesday, and if you’d like to support Offbeat Canine in Best of the 603 one last time, I’d be incredibly grateful.
