Introducing Nalu to agility one confidence-building step at a time. A few weeks ago, we worked on the tunnel! My biggest goal right now isn’t speed or perfect performance, it’s building confidence, engagement, and making agility FUN. New environments, obstacles, sounds, and movement can be a

One thing people don’t talk about enough with service dogs is that when you live with multiple disabilities or medical conditions… your dog can start picking up on patterns you never intentionally trained. I originally taught Nalu a heart rate alert. That was the goal and her paw alert was the t

Tornado watches with dogs look a little different around here. Instead of feeding into the stress, we practice calm. Both dogs were in place with chews while weather alerts were going off today so the environment stayed as normal and positive as possible. A lot of dogs feed off our energy dur

I debated letting her have an accident in her kennel instead…. #floridaweather #florida #tornado #dogmomproblems

Goggle training should feel fun, not forced. One of the biggest mistakes people make with gear desensitization is only putting the equipment on when the dog “has to” wear it. Instead, I want Nalu to associate her Rex Specs with play, engagement, and good experiences. For this session, I: • P

She acts like I’ve betrayed her every single time I put her shoes on… despite wearing them since she was 8 weeks old. The dramatic paw flicks get me every time.🤣 @wagwear #wagwear #dogshoes #beachlife #funnydogs

Having 2 double coated dogs means we constantly need to brush them and I’m so thankful that my boyfriend finds brushing them relaxing🤣 #dogdad #dogdadsoftiktok #germansgepherdsoftiktok #shepsky

Sometimes I genuinely have to stop and process the fact that this is real life now. A random Thursday night somehow turned into being out on the water watching dolphins swim next to the boat while the sun set over the ocean and I honestly don’t think younger me would believe this is the life we

I don’t talk about it a lot, but I grew up playing soccer from 3 years old to 19. I went to college on a soccer scholarship and had to stop playing due to an injury caused by hyperextending my knee and a cyst that I had for 11 years. After my knee surgery, my health declined and I went from bei

If you watched our long form video, you know that this is the most excited I got during my trip to Las Angeles. As somebody who lives on the East Coast, I always see pictures and videos of all these places. I grew up seeing them on TV or in movies. I don’t think it fully hit me that I was in LA

Part 2 of teaching Nalu’s top line to lay flatter (I forgot to post this so it’s from a few weeks ago) A few things changed this groom and I really think it helped the overall result: • Upgraded my grooming setup and turned my bathroom into a mini grooming area • Better water pressure = way ea

Lately I’ve been seeing more and more handlers openly talk about how having a service dog is actively making their physical or mental health worse. While service dogs can absolutely be life changing, they are also a treatment tool and not every treatment works well for every person forever. H

POV: your coworkers have paws and zero understanding of “office hours” 😂 Working from home with two high-energy dogs means zoomies between emails, toy breaks during editing, and turning your apartment complex into a dog playground. Honestly wouldn’t trade it for anything. #workfromhome #do

Where do you serve socks to use the bathroom when they’re in the Disneyland parks in California? compared to Florida, I absolutely love how big these areas are and I feel like they were a lot more prevalent and there were more frequent around the park. However, if I didn’t go with a friend that

Still trying to process the fact that I’ve been invited to THREE TikTok events in the past month. Two for TikTok Shop and one for the new TikTok GO travel feature. Being able to create content for a living and experience opportunities like this is something I’ll never take for granted. So incre

One thing people don’t really talk about when flying with a service dog… Where do they go if you have to use the bathroom on the plane? I’ve seen videos of handlers leaving their service dogs at their seat while they use the restroom, and as someone whose first service dog was a larger dog, I co

I’ve always wanted to do a little staycation in Atlanta, but I guess now that I live in Florida it’s a vacation… and the Kimpton Shane Hotel in Midtown is PERFECT. The Woodruff Arts Center is 700 feet away, so you can attend the symphony and then grab a bite to eat in Midtown Union. Plus, it

A dog friendly hotel that also does what they can to be environmentally friendly? Count me in! #tiktokgopost #atlanta #environmentallyfriendly #dogfriendlytravel
