A vulnerable post from the human behind the account:
Somedays it is really hard to keep pushing forward. Sometimes seeing others blessed over and over and over in ways that even once would be life changing for us and LFD make me sad, frustrated, and just mad. How can we do so much good and grow that good and then we’re in moments where I feel like I’ve been left behind or forgotten…. I am so happy for those blessings in those peoples lives and I know God is good and that he provides! Today is not an easy day to see that because the devil is trying his best this week! So let me shout out some good things for my heart and minds sake:
_today my reactive dog client not only was able to quickly redirect and pull their dog back under threshold when we escalated dog pressure but by the end of their lesson their pup was redirected in motion and chose not to react or fixate and just kept moving on which is huge for her! 💜
_her mom actually handled her quite a bit of the lesson and literally perfectly timed several leave its and redirections and I’m so proud of her for stepping out of her comfort zone! 💜
_her parents gave us a super sweet and thoughtful human/dog Halloween goodies which literally was so incredibly sweet! 💜
_my disabled handler was able to walk his dog into class with ease comparatively and now has better control so he and his dog can continue to grow through training! 💜
_Sesame helped me, our coworker, and a client today. 💜
_Yesterday Cinder and I conquered Costco and other than being a little pumped from being off for some time she did great even on just a slip leash! She tasked through out the trip and I’m stoked to keep the momentum. 💜
_After Cinder’s Costco run I took Faye on her first on the floor vested outing to HomeGoods and she did fantastic! She focused, settled, and quickly after ~2 minutes was able to contain the silly crazy puppy moments well. She even settled in a double down on her own! 💜
_We had an incredible weekend at the United Kennel Club® show where Sesame brought home: A-BISS, A-BIS, & A-RBIS as well as 75 points of her 100 needed for her U-CH along with all 3 competition wins!! 💜
_Pudge got 5 more points to her U-CH title 💜
I’m still struggling, still frustrated, and want to never get out of this bed but I will because God isn’t done and the devil only does this when there are bigger and better blessings coming! So I will show up and continue to prepare for rain and many blessings for us AND the people/dogs that we serve!! 💜💜🐾
