Finny boy being sooo good with his teeth exam 👏🏻 Like a lot of high energy and anxious dogs, he wouldn't stay still and would get sensitive to any kind of body handling. We've been working on getting him to relax and to choose to cooperate for physical touches for a while. And now he is getting one step closer to better and calmer vet visits! Way to go Finn! 👊🏼

Pacing, sniffing around, whining, and barking; without a single nap for 12 hours a day. This was Ella for the past month. She has been going through extensive medical treatments for a few months, and that's probably why her anxiety level has gone up a bit.

A bit of medication helped her calm down a little, but barking and whining never quite went away.

We started to teach her today that we can help her really relax with physical touch, and helped her realize that relaxation can actually feel good.

This was Ella for the first time in 3 years that she fully relaxed during the day 🥰

Lucy: ya'll talking too much.Where are all the treats and belly rubs?

But seriously, Lucy has gotten so much more patient and gentle when we sit on the couch and have a conversation. No more jumping or face licking 👏🏻

Can you see the path through the tall grass in this picture? It's just started to be a bit more visible after a few dozen times I've walked on it. It was harder to walk through this tall grass in the beginning. I needed to lift my legs high and I got wet brushing against the wet grass. It took more effort. But it's becoming much easier to walk through this as the path has become more beaten.

Dog training (or any mindfulness training) is like this. The meadow is our brain and the paths are neuro pathways of emotions. The more you walk on the same path, the more easily your brain takes that path.

The new path we're paving for our dogs should be relaxation and optimism.

It's not easy at first as we are training our dogs to take a new way that their body & brain are not used to. But it'll get easier and easier as long as we keep up with it.

Don't give up. Keep on walking.

Hi! It's been a minute 🕧 I was on a long vacation to Thailand recently, the country I used to live about 10 years ago. It felt like a homecoming, yet it felt different this time in a few ways - objective changes due to simply the time passed, and some personal changes that allowed me to see different things.

One of the things I noticed more this time is the dogs. There are a lot of dogs on the streets in Thailand. I don't think that has changed much since my last time there. But I got to pay closer attention to the dogs behaviors this time.

Each street dog seems to have their own home-base where they hang out most of the times and get food from people both directly and indirectly. Often it's just one dog in each corner. They interact with other dogs, but each one has their own territory. They all carefully pay attention to other dogs behaviors and navigate through their own social dynamics.

Most dogs keep their distance from passerbys but not aggressive towards people (at least in the parts of the country I traveled this time). If someone has food, they come closer and wait REALLY patiently.

So I bought some treats from a grocery store to give them. But, boy I was wrong ❌ Every dog I offered the treats refused to eat them! No, it wasn't because they were wary of strangers. They are just not used to eating process food! So I bought some sausages, and they gobbled it up 😆

I was curious if our dogs at home would refuse this same treats too. And They. Gobbled. It. Up 😂 Their eyes dilated too after tasting it for the first time. That must give you some food for thought 😜

Here are some pictures of the few dogs during this trip who were super friendly towards me. I hope they keep being lovely towards people, so people take care of them more 💞

Great update from team Josie! Josie is a super sensitive girl who gets easily stressed out by things around the house i.e. moving boxes, loud noises, even her human mom's mood. We have been preparing to help her be ready for their big move, and new babies arrival for a few months.

One of my favorite parts of this update is that they knew to use the training protocol impromptu when Josie felt stressed and made progress by themselves. 🙌🏼

Be a good guest with some clean-up skills 😛

Adam (my husband) and I had a special weekend with Placid Paws' long-time students Henna and Carter at their shore house 🏖️

The dogs learned to be calm on their porch watching dogs, people and squirrels walk/run by. We practiced walking calmly on the streets. And just worked on overall manners in their weekend home including staying out of a guest room.

All work on a vacation? No, they got spoiled enough with some pedicures and LOTS and LOTS of snuggles 😊 - Yes, they enjoyed getting their nails clipped. Even Carter, Mr. Sensitive!

Great to be able to continue to help these guys throughout their life 🐾

If this face gives you any hint, this girl used to be a WILD hot mess 😅 But to be fair, coming from a tough street life in Jordan, settling in a new home wasn't easy.

Her human guardians have been doing lots of good work with her since they first got her a couple years ago, yet there were still some challenges left to resolve.

For the last few months implementing system, Peach has been getting much calmer and more affectionate towards her people. Lots of big and small improvements throughout her daily life. And some of the issues (i.e. barking in her crate when her dad walks in the room) were resolved without even being addressed directly as a result of daily relaxation training.

Great work Team Peach. Let's keep up the good work! 🌟
