Bunny spent the day with me and Lotte and Valentina (and Lulubelle, who is still on crate rest). I got a lot done and Bunny was pretty busy, in between naps. Your dog could hang out with us while you are at work too.

Lulubelle from Peyton's Place Animal Rescue is also very fearful like Sky was. She is still mostly on crate rest post spay. She is very cute and isn’t scared of my grrrls at all. I will share much more of her in the next week or so.

*UPDATE.. we are all set with a foster! Thank you all, so much!

🆘Emergency Foster Needed TODAY 🆘 - Phoenixville, PA

This boy is 4 years old and came to us last night from a puppy mill farm... The foster home we had lined up, can no longer foster. So, we are now scrambling.

🐾He is BIG... 85lbs (ish)
🐾no cat history
🐾no history with kids
🐾would be best placed with a female dog or as an only dog

This is all we know about him.... Getting him into a safe, committed foster home, is of the utmost importance right now.

🚨If you are already approved to foster, PLEASE REACH OUT TO YOUR COORDINATOR ASAP.
If you are not yet approved, and are waiting, please contact us, immediately, via email [email protected] or send a message on FB or Instagram.

HE NEEDS HELP TODAY
____________

Our adoption area -
📍New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maryland, Delaware, and parts of Northern Virginia

For one more week! DM me about this gift certificate! A week's worth of 1 on 1 dog training support at a very deep discount. One of my senior dogs requires a very expensive cardiac clearance before her dental. Please share. Thanks!

Do you have a small dog in Philly? Your little dog can stay with us. For part of the day, all day, or even for a couple weeks of training. DM me here or email me at Susan at DingoGirl dot com.

Kculli Kculli worked so hard during her first in person session. She was exhausted afterwards. This pretty seal is very smart and is learning new behaviors to help her cope with going for scary walks. What a brave girl.

Bassett Bassett has worked with us in person and online. His people have helped this smart boy feel safer and learn new skills.

Not surprisingly...

New post at Psych Today! We know that aversive dog training methods have risks for the dog and the dog-human relationship, but despite that, some trainers still use them. Research published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science sheds light on the differing viewpoints of American reward-based and aversive trainers. Of particular interest, the reward-based trainers in the study had previously used aversives and crossed over, sometimes as a gradual process and sometimes with an "aha" moment. Read about it in the piece on Psych Today.
