Replying to @$vet PLEASE READšŸ‘‡ Resource guarding is normal, barking & growling = normal šŸ‘‡ So we donā€™t want to *stop*these behaviors because if we do, we remove their ability to communicate discomfort. And that is how we end up getting bitā€¦ BUT we do want to teach our dogs reasonable responses & how to make good decisions for themselves (eg moving away when worried instead of biting, etc) I never want my dogs to think that when I approach they lose something. Me approaching should always = positive feelings whenever possible Prevention is key, but my priority (learned from professionals) is changing my dogā€™s emotional response to me being near her when she has something of value Hereā€™s how I did this game (again, always work with a professional): 1ļøāƒ£: When Aura had something she valued (food, toy, chew) Iā€™d toss higher value food or treats in her direction, only being close enough to not get a reaction out of her. Remember, this is a low pressure positive reinforcement ā€œgame,ā€ where weā€™re starting to teach our dog that when we approach, ONLY good things happen. I practice each step for several days, with 5-10 treats at a time. Short sessions.  2ļøāƒ£: I toss treats as I walk by. No cue, no pressure, just walk and toss. Walk & toss (with 5-10 treats then leave her alone) 3ļøāƒ£: Introduce the ā€œtrade it outā€ cue. Mine is ā€œcan I have that.ā€ I toss a higher value treat away, remove her food bowl, then give it back 4ļøāƒ£: My favorite, because itā€™s how we should end every interaction with a being. Better than we found it! I trade it outā€ and before I give it back, I add even better treats to it, to MAKE IT BETTER!! I practice this just a few times then I leave her alone to enjoy it. We practice this a lot in puppy class with the local trainers I work with @goroguedogtrainingllc , and they remind pet parents that even if your dog isnā€™t demonstrating resource guarding tendencies now - itā€™s important to practice to avoid it Again, every dog is different. Work with a science based PRACTICED positive reinforcement trainer whenever possible šŸ™ For SAFER šŸ¶ tips follow along!  #puppytraining #p#puppymomr#resourceguardingd#DogTrainingreactivedog

Trigger warning āš ļø pet loss And just like that, within 72 hours we lost 3 of my foster puppies We later learned they had a congenital developmental lung disorder, and I am so grateful that the remaining 6 siblings were never impacted by this While I understand loss happens with litters, nobody could have prepared me for this They were born in my home and for weeks I spent day & night tending to their every need They were almost 4 weeks old when they passed away, & they had personalities & quirks & preferences To me, they were.. are, family  Juniper was the third born with the most black coloring She was feisty & held her own when her brothers tried taking over her teat! She loved being held, she melted in my arms & even started enjoying ā€œsolidā€ foods I truly believe she waited for me before leaving this earth. She was thoughtful like that, my sweet Juni Rest in paradise & know that you will never be forgotten Your suffering will mean something, if itā€™s the last thing I do šŸ™ And to everyone here, thank you for loving her with me. I couldnt have done this without you  #petloss #grief #fosterdog #puppy #rescuedog #puppymom
Daffodil needed a lot of help with the pups at first, and I was happy to do so! Beau looks like heā€™s smiling here šŸ„¹ #fosterdog #rescuedog #puppy #puppymom

What if we had it wrong all along? šŸ˜£  šŸ¶Welcome to episode 2 of my new ā€œraising an unbothered puppyā€ series!šŸ¶ Anyways, maybe this doesnā€™t change the normal ā€œcrate trainingā€ steps, but it does give me more empathy for my puppy When we understand their viewpoint, we can approach our training efficiently  We can make the crate a positive place until my face turns blue, but if Aura doesnā€™t feel safe & secure to be without - for even a few seconds - then itā€™ll make crate training much harder Net: building your puppyā€™s confidence is key in ALL training, crate training included. While practicing crate games (let me know if you need a video on this), also practice SHORT distances away from you without letting your puppy go over threshold  If you want a video on this - again let me know! This new ā€œunbotheredā€ puppy series is for YOU, where Iā€™ll share what Ive learned from experts & personal experience, so let me know how I can help in the comments Xo #puppytraining #newpuppy #DogTraining #puppymom #meetmypet
Trigger warning āš ļø pet loss Iā€™m so sorry to share this, nobody wants this on their feed Yet I know how much you loved her, youā€™ve been part of every step so far, and this is part of her story But it isnā€™t all of her story Sheā€™s so much more than sadness & grief Posie was a warrior. A symbol of strength & hope She was the first of her siblings to get sick, and she was the last to pass away.  She didnā€™t want to go, her spirit was still very much alive  But her body was too fragile for this world Her spirit too brightā€¦ Posie was almost 4 weeks old and passed within 2 days of her sisters, Maple & Juniper They were being with a developmental lung disorder that made it impossible to meet the demands of life It happened so fast, yet so slow Watching them pass before my eyes, trying EVERYTHING to save them, is an experience Iā€™m still crawling out from under These little beings were born before my eyes, I never left their side and will never forget them Their suffering wil mean something, that is my purpose  Rest in paradise, Posie.

Itā€™s trueā€¦ I couldnā€™t keep Daffodil, but I kept a part of her šŸ™ 6 months ago my life was turned upside down. What was supposed to be a normal foster volunteer experience turned into one of the hardest things Iā€™ve done through Admittedly, I still struggle with itā€¦ MONTHS laterā€¦ I wish the grief would move past now, BUT I am much better Sharing these cherished memories helps a lot, knowing Iā€™m keeping her memory alive If youā€™re new here, I fostered Daffodil after she was dumped at my local shelter. 3 days later she gave birth to 9 puppies. Daffodil was in such poor shape that it was 24/7 care to bring her back to health, all while trying to keep her pups alive I worry itā€™ll be months before Iā€™m ā€œback to normalā€ - which I hate hate hate to admit. It shouldnā€™t be so hard. But it is what it is and Iā€™m just focusing on moving forward & making sure their memories are never lost  Unfortunately, we lost 3 of her babies which shattered me. Daffodil did recover though, and I had to make a decision that was best for HER to find a forever home sheā€™d thrive in - which sadly wasnā€™t with me.  Sheā€™s so loved with her new family (yes we stay in touch), and best part sheā€™s spoiled as the only dog with all love for her. The way I knew she deserved & couldnā€™t give her I never intended on keep ANY of her puppies. It wasnā€™t even on the radar. Not even close.  But as life does, things changed when I finally admitted the connection I had with Daffodilā€™s second born, Aura I tried resisting it, but she was always mine and I always hers  And would you know it, Aura ended up being the MOST like her mom, Daffodil šŸŒ¼  I couldnā€™t keep Daffodil, but I kept part of her. Iā€™m grateful for the entire experience that changed me forever..  Xo #puppy #dogmom #puppymom #fosterdog #rescuedog

The way she couldnā€™t even finish itšŸ„¹šŸ„¹ I can tell when sheā€™s in a lot of pain, she gets restless, wonā€™t eat and sometimes, when itā€™s really bad, she wonā€™t chew on her favorite chews I tried everything and finally snuggling her, staying calm, and letting her lick on her Groov helped her relax and settle enough to sleep My poor girl, I wish I could take all her pain for her šŸ™ #puppymom #puppycheck #puppy @Diggs

Can you believe it? Sometimes letting go means gaining more than you couldā€™ve dreamed of It took me weeks to let go of my worries & doubts, and follow what my heart knew from the start Aura was always meant to be mine and me hers Her love has already changed me, and we have a lifetime together! I canā€™t believe I ever doubted myself To celebrate her adoption, this is the start of my new ā€œpuppy raising seriesā€ And no, itā€™s not just for puppies. Itā€™s a series where I can show what Iā€™m feeding and training to raise a confident, happy and ā€œunbotheredā€ dog A puppy so ā€œunbotheredā€ that her focus will be on the things she loves, so I can embrace her inner rockstar So unbothered that new and novel things are no biggie, and the outside world becomes background noise This wonā€™t be perfect, but it will be real For real mistakes & real learnings, follow along šŸ’œ #meetmypet #newpuppy #puppymom #puppytraining
Replying to @Lizak Probably the biggest mistake I see is rushing this process, or putting our dogs in a crate to ā€œcry it outā€ which further proves their suspicion - When mom leaves, bad things DO happen. It IS scary Which is why I practice time away from Aura using my ā€œperfect puppy routineā€ every single day (see video tutorial in my bio) This routine works on adult dogs & puppies- bc it gives structure to their day while prioritizing their mental health, physical health and practicing separation  For easy pup tips, follow along! šŸ¾  #puppytraining #separationanxiety #anxiousdog #puppymom
