An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

That’s why I roll in with SO much cheese, body black forceful techs and am “that person,” that irritates veterinary staff that aren’t fear and force free:/

BUT if your pet is scared I vote sedation 100% of the time!

Trauma is hard to overcome-don’t force it….10-15 years is a LONG time to dread the vet and it WILL snowball! Orals, I don’t think are helpful based on client feedback and struggles.

Anyone who’s done anything with Fido recently has worked with Nicole, she’s the one who keeps this whole thing afloat and kept my head in the game through the hard seasons.

Without her there are many time things got rough that I would’ve thrown in the towel and taken that job in Texas working for someone else, clock in and out, and being fully present for my three awesome kids, amazing husband and own dogs.

BUT I am bound and determined to accomplish my goals of a better daycare set up and training for our dogs that are family! So a huge thank you to Nicole not only for her support but also this new logo!

This new logo represents roots- I’ve learned a lot but I’m proud of my roots in dog training! I stated fear and force free and was never a crossover trainer! 20 + years of amazing results with NO prong, NO shock, and NO fear.

Tree- grown and resilience- this little dream has needed that bounce back to growl!

Happy dog doing dog things aligns with the original Family Fido logo- fun, play, happy, and purposeful training without force and fear!

Family- dogs are family and deserve to live a life that fulfills them and builds them up in order to learn and grown. Counting dogs as family means undertaking their needs and striving to better their world we forced them into:)

But also Family is like minded people like Nicole who who meet along the way with similar missions and someone who says, I’m in- I got you- we can get through this and I’ll make you a new logo to reset!

Here’s to back to school and a new year!

My birthday is October and I judge my years with Fido by my birthday since I turned 40- that’s why it’s a new year and new Fido!

There are others to highlight but this post is about the new logo and reset!

When Family Fido was a side gig, my main gig was working with the therapy dog of Mayo. It will always hold a special place in my heart❤️

Look at all the smiles as Therapy Dog Prep teams practiced their skills in a new setting!

A HUGE thank you for Toyota for letting us hang out with the them!

Who said it best?

Both of these dogs are in drastically different mental states. Can you tell the difference?

As a mom of 3 kiddos with constant training and foster dogs rotating through, I am passionate about dogs and kids safety. All dog bites are preventable and 77% of dogs bites happen to our kids in our home from dogs they know and are familiar with!

One of the new courses will Dogs and Kids safety!

A huge shout out to my helpers this morning!

I am so exited for my new courses! Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop! It’s going to be amazing- between the use of my space and transition to the city, it’s going to be the best leash course Rochester has to offer!

I had a quick trip I needed to take, but it’s also allowed me time to dive in and continue to add all my pearls of leash handling!
