"The greatest handicap a dog (or learner) can have is when she is labeled by the trainer."

— Nancy Gagliardi Little, FDSA Instructor

Things have been pretty crazy around here since we got June all settled into her new home (she is doing great)! Our resident dog, Aiden, is having some health issues so we are taking a break from fostering until we can get him more comfortable, but I have been beyond busy with the training and outreach side of the rescue! This spring, I taught force free dog training classes through our local 4H program for 8-18 year old members (so much fun), went to a weekend BAT seminar (so excited to start offering this amazing protocol to our reactive dog clients) and I’ve completed my certification to become an official Dog Bite Safety Educator through Doggone Safe. I took a little social media hiatus, but I am back now & can’t wait to share all of this cool new stuff with our amazing community!
