Finn’s Story

January 2026 Featured Pet of the Month

If your dog can’t leave your house to walk beyond the neighborhood because of their anxiety levels, addressing those barriers becomes our top priority. For Finn, he faced a catch-22: he needed to get out of the house to decompress in nature, true to his Schnauzer instincts, but his anxiety in the car prevented him from being able to do so.

Introduce weekly regular field trips! After Jordan and Nicole collaborated to introduce Finn to the routine of services, we then transitioned him into our recurring field trip services to get this boy out and about in the car.

Finn now has enjoyed over a year of three weekly field trip outings where he gets to explore the world beyond his backyard, with minimal triggers to constantly re-set his barky-lungey behaviors from scratch. With better energy levels at home and the family’s FIRST EVER pet sitting away with us covering all care for Finn and his brother, Watson, we were so thrilled to see the two of them thrive as their humans continue to live their life without having to worry about their dog’s needs being met. Way to go, team Finn, through self-paced exposure this guy needed to hit his stride and transform his quality of life!

Wyatt’s Story

December 2025 Featured Pet of the Month

Wyatt is your typical Australian Shepherd—energetic, eager, and outspokenly opinionated! Knowing your breed means understanding the tendencies they are prone to, and Wyatt is a dog whose close attention to his environment manifested as reactivity: the intense barking at the end of the leash kind.

After working through a Behavior Package with us, we were gifted with the opportunity to see Wyatt in our day camp. Throughout the months of hard work with his humans at home and carefully-crafted exposures, we have seen Wyatt shine.

Like many reactive dogs, Wyatt went from reactions…to then INTENSE OBEDIENCE STARING AT HIS PERSON…to finally curious, calm investigation with the world around him. At 6 years old, Wyatt is just getting started with a full life of love and adventure ahead of him.

It’s been an absolute delight meeting and working alongside Wyatt, his pup-sister, and his humans in 2025 and we are eager to continue advancing his experiences and skills in the months yet to come.

Ezra’s Story

November 2025 Featured Pet of the Month

When you have a rescue that didn’t get the best start in life, and all the cards are stacked against them, resolving their fear, reactivity, and any other behavior challenges that come with them. While it’s true that we can’t unwind the hand we’ve been dealt in terms of their genetics, upbringing, and temperament, that does not mean all hope is lost.

Ezra participated in our Behavior Intensive Package, field trips, and day camp. His humans have committed to bringing him out of his shell to encourage PLAY, and we continue to provide him new exposures to bring him out of his shell and trust the world around him.

From a reactive dog that would freak out immediately to a tail-wagging, cool-as-a-cucumber pup that is a HELPER DOG in our reactivity cases now, seeing Ezra thrive has been a DELIGHT of ours over the past year of 2025. His friendly face, precious tail wags, and INITIATION of CURIOSITY toward new dogs and people have warmed our hearts, even as the weather cools down. We are DELIGHTED to be entrusted with his care and training and to have seen him start to blossom to the point of initiating play with his sister and becoming loose and wiggly throughout his daily life!

Truman’s Story

October 2025 Featured Pet of the Month

Truman has received numerous services over the years in pet care, from pet sitting to weekend let outs. The heart of his story comes from his summer with us in our day camp, and how day camp shows a shift in the “culture” of how we live with and care for our performance (dog sport dogs).

Raised with the typical practices of “dog neutrality” and “focus work,” Tru’s baseline started with high levels of uncertainty around other dogs and typical young adult intact male behaviors of needing long periods of time to be ready to pay attention in dog sport environments.

Through day camp, we targeted safe, structured integration with other dogs, activity planning to create an acclimation routine, and of course, routine enrichment outings to break up long days while his person was in graduate school.

We had an absolute blast shifting the worldview of Tru, which in turn BOOSTED his confidence around dogs and readiness for connection with his human. We are deeply grateful to have been entrusted with giving Tru experiences that boosted his readiness for the competition ring.

Boomer’s Story

September 2025 Featured Pet of the Month

“Help! There has been an aggression incident at home!” Always a difficult message to receive, we were readily there when Boomer’s family needed us most as he engaged in aggression which was targeted at another small dog in the home. After subtle cues of conflict built up to an attack, Boomer’s anxiety experienced in daily life reached a peak.

We saw Boomer in class and then our day camp after originally connecting over help needed with anxiety that was not easing as Boomer grew. His family saw a complete turnaround in his behavior over the summer thanks to their dedicated data taking and hard work with him. That behavior then changed again with a change in season and routine.

Thanks to the data taken and support of his VERY dedicated household, we were able to determine Boomer’s needs required he move to a different household and we assisted with finding him a breed-specific rescue to foster him. Complicated and complex cases take a village, and we are here to support ALL households through informed, emotionally-supported decisions for their high-stakes cases while balancing the needs of humans, dogs, and community alike.

The Originals

Because we didn’t start our stories feature until 5 years into business, we’d like to take time to honor some of the first households to entrust us with the privilege of their care.
