Let’s talk about something no one likes to talk about….. MENTAL HEALTH!
There are many thing that cause mental health issues.
—Not teaching your dog obedience & manors…. Why you might ask?? Dogs are pack animals so they crave a pecking order & they look to you to be the alpha!! When you are not is confuses them which causes even more behavioral issues, like anxiety or aggression. Training your pup is like therapy for their soul! They know their place and role! It also keeps them safe from multiple dangers like darting out a door (house or car). My dogs have to sit & wait & then released before going out the door!!
Great things to teach them….
Sit, stay, down, wait, no jumping, walking properly on a leash, leave it & to look to you for all of those thing!
—Not properly socializing them……
Which all the things above will help you with this.
When they are puppies take them to dog parks, store, introduce them to everything possible!!
—Be confident when taking them to do new things, the vet, groomer, play date, ect
They feed off of your feelings & emotions!!
Ex. Taking your dog to the groomer…
Don’t baby talk & tell them you are going to be okay!
Walk in hand the groomer the leash and bye see you when you’re done and exit the building!
—RESCUE DOGS…..
Patients, patients, patients!!!!!!!
You have no idea what their past consists of! When you get a rescue you are automatically taking on a dog that needs you to be the therapist!!!

Learn to listen to your dog….they talk!!!!

When you fail to do these thing is causes major mental health issues!!
The more time you spend with your dog, the more you touch them all over their bodies, feet, face, mouth literally every inch! The more they trust you with everything the less mental health issues!

This is the part of the job no one warns about! 14 years in the business you see new puppies get old. I know that I don’t spend every day with your dog, but the time I spend is one on one. I learn as much as I can about them, I work to gain their trust & love. I love them more with every appointment!
One day they are wild little puppies & I blink my eyes & they are getting old!
Then it happens I get the call, the text message or the canceled appointment. One more break in my heart.
I am honored to have got to spend the time I did. I will think of them & I will miss them! They never leave my heart ❤️

Nothing drives me more crazy than someone that doesn’t have control over their dog!
A healthy dog needs you to be the alpha! They need to understand that you make the rules and they follow them!
So letting a dog drag you when you walk them is telling them that they are boss and not you!!
Harness vs Halter…..
Throw your harness away buy a halter and have complete control over your dog!!

So I’m going to talk about something that I see everyday & it drives me insane!!
Obesity!!! An overweight dog that doesn’t have to be overweight but you love to feed them all those treats!
Health issues just from obesity, heart problems like congestive heart failure, diabetes, cancer, hip & elbow dysplasia, tendon tears, blood disorders, respiratory issues, joint pain, slip disk in backs and the list goes on and on and on and on!!
So if you really love you dog as much as you say you do STOP
hurting them!
This doesn’t mean you can’t feed them, this doesn’t mean they can’t have treats, this means portion control & better treat!!
