Roadtrip Wellness tip #2!
Anxiety Reduction when traveling. Calm in your vehicle starts in your living room.
Leash on - CALM
Sit and Stay at doorways and gates - CALM
Before entering the vehicle - CALM
Practice! Even when you're not going anywhere, get used to creating calm behavior throughout the entire process.

Counterintuitive.... YES! We think, "let's get EXCITED" because it's SO MUCH FUN! True... For dogs that are not negatively impacted by excitement and can stay composed and remain focused on you, by all means, HAVE A PARTY!

Not all dogs can take that level of excitement without creating anxiety. For those dogs, we need that structure and predictability and CALM practice to understand the expectations and be successful.

We have the best staff of trainers anywhere. This group is dedicated, motivated, passionate, and compassionate. They represent independence, strength and leadership to our clients, therefore empowering the dogs in their lives. Every year we have a get together and this year we had an award ceremony where trainers earned their Level pins and challenge coins. I’m so proud of this crew and our leadership team. We were missing four of our trainers that could not make it to this particular get together that would’ve made it into the group photo

πŸ‘ΆπŸΎ BABIES AND DOGS CAN COEXIST SAFELY. BUT DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE BABY ARRIVES TO PREPARE!

At Sally Said So, we hold two things in incredibly high regard: the safety of children and the well-being of dogs. ❀️

Young children are especially vulnerable to dog bites, and injuries to the head and face can be devastating.

The good news? PROACTIVE PREPARATION CAN MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE!

We recommend getting started around 4–5 months into pregnancy, giving us several months to prepare your dog BEFORE your newest family member arrives!

Using realistic baby dolls, simulated daily routines, new sounds, and changes in household activity, we help your dog adjust to what life with a baby will look like.

🐾 Less stress for your dog.
πŸ‘Ά A safer environment for your baby.
❀️ More confidence for the entire family.

Your dog shouldn't have to figure everything out AFTER the baby comes home!

πŸ”₯ EXPECTING A BABY? CALL US NOW! Let's prepare your dog for one of the biggest changes your family will ever experience.
