I always knew we wouldn’t have forever.

I just never imagined our forever would be this short.

Koda has terminal cancer. A very aggressive kind with a bleak prognosis- hemangiosarcoma.

And while I still have him here, I want you to know him.

Not just for how his story ends.

But for the extraordinary dog he has always been.

And because I don’t know if I’ll have the strength to tell these stories after he’s gone.

So while he’s still here, I’m going to share him.

The funny stories. The beautiful ones. The things he’s taught me about dogs, behavior, love, grief and what it means to feel completely safe with another living being.

This account exists in large part because of everything dogs have taught me.

And so much of that started with him.🤎

You’re dog might be telling you something!!

Yes, a wagging tail may mean your friend is happy and excited! However, it may also mean that they are anxious or uncomfortable with their environment.

When dogs are wagging their tail in a triggering environment, it may be a sign that they are alert and looking for a way out or redirection.

We can’t read our dog’s mind but we can help them by picking up on displayed behavior! Visit our website to learn how we can help you!

Pain/ medical issues are the #1 cause of reactivity and aggression. Dogs hide pain very well. And humans are great at mislabeling them.

After working as a specialist in behavior modification for the last 5 years I’ve seen hundreds of dogs presenting with different types and varying severity levels of reactivity and aggression. Most of these dogs had underlying pain or they were going through a fear period.

Go see a qualified vet behaviorist or work with a reactivity specialist like myself along side a good vet to determine the underlying cause of your dog’s behavior and move toward healthy solutions that actually work 🫶

As always, comment or send us a DM if you have questions 🤎
