Wagging with Wisdom

Did someone say DOG TRAINING RAFFLE?! ☘️🐶🎉

WWW has a student who has been searching for her forever home through Chasing Sunshine Dog Rescue and needs funding to be fully vetted before she can finally start her next big adventure in life. In hopes of jumpstarting that donation pot, I put together some appropriately themed raffle baskets in Jessica's honor for both new clients and fellow training fanatics!

The only problem is that a big dog means a big vet bill.
CSDR needs to raise $1000 to fully vet, spay, and gastropexy, Jessica.
Which is where we come in, and not without something in it for you too!

how is it June already?!? 🫪
Not only that but first thing this morning we had a visitor trying to come in the school entrance! 🤣

(I called a wonderful wildlife rehab in Waterford who let me know that baby Catbirds are pretty naive and tend to wander but because he has feathers to just put him in a bush that is big enough to protect him, so into the rhododendron he went!)

Heres to more summer shenanigans!! 🤪🐶

The dogs have been de-thawing their skills all spring and the summertime adventures have officially begun! ☀️

I’ve waited to share this until I knew it could actually work… but one of my biggest dreams is finally starting to come to life 🥹🐾

Back in March, my best friend (a social worker for a local public elementary school ) invited me to host a table at their schools annual career day.
Of course I expected kids to be excited about dogs.
What I didn’t expect was how many wanted to learn about dog behavior, rescue, training, advocacy, and what working with dogs actually looks like.

The response was so incredible that I was invited back to create something bigger with the freedom to present, “whatever I felt the kids needed.”

So… Wag Whisperers: Junior Canine Advocate Program was born 🐶✨

My goal is to bring this program into more schools and help make dog safety and canine education more accessible for kids. Because kids and dogs are growing up together every day, but many children are never taught how to safely and respectfully interact with them or appropriately handle unwanted interactions.

Kids under 12 still account for OVER 400,000 reported dog bites every year. reported.

thats not just a dog problem, its also a lack of education, lack of advocation, human problem.

Wag Whisperers is about creating understanding, teaching dog body language, safe interactions, advocacy, and helping build a future where kids and dogs coexist better together. Whether they live with them or not. Educated awareness is the key.

This is only the beginning, but I’m so excited to see where it goes and love to hear any thoughts or suggestions as the program develops further.🖤

This is what happens when you start school as a foster pup and then return as a student after adoption…. SURPRISE!!! 🫢👀

Millie (fka JellyBean) was a foster pup of mine this past fall and met all these same classmates as a wee baby. This past week she returned for her new family to get some vacation time and the pack was stunned to see that she had grown more than any of us had ever imagined!

We love you MILLIE! 💌🥰🐾

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! ❤️💌

We have a full house of boarders this holiday weekend and what better way to spend it than making homemade valentines for their humans! 🥰
