It's -19 and I still need exercise Karen! What's your winter plan? When it's too cold to walk and your dog didn't get the memo.

Being creative separating his feet from the bitter cold and salt. This boy is so tolerant. This is why I push exposing your dog to as many sensory challenges as possible.

For example - Trimmers: What if your pup is needing a wound to be shaved to treat a severe laceration? Panic and an increased heart rate is not going to help to control a bleed.

You should be able to access every part of your dog whether it be inspecting their mouth or taking their temperature.

Students will always hear me say, "They don't have to like it, but they have to allow it."

Be safe pup people! 🙂

💙 REMEMBER YOUR PETS DURING THE WINTER STORM

As dangerous cold and winter weather move in, don’t forget about your pets. They rely on you to stay safe and warm.

Bring pets indoors, limit time outside, and make sure they have food, unfrozen water, and a warm, draft-free place to rest. Watch closely for signs of cold stress like shivering, lethargy, or lifting paws.

‼️If it’s too cold for YOU, it’s too cold for THEM.‼️

🐶🐱 Check on neighbors’ pets when it’s safe to do so. A little extra care during the storm can save a life.

Your dog just went out the back door alone. You have 60 seconds before a coyote can strike.

RIGHT NOW: Coyote mating season (next 4-6 weeks). Males are territorial, aggressive, and hunting small pets.

What happens: Silent. Fast. Your pet is gone before you hear anything.

What to do TODAY:
→ NEVER let pets out alone (day or night)
→ Leash walks only (even in your yard)
→ Scan yard before opening door
→ Motion lights + air horn by door

Your dog trusts you to protect them. They can't protect themselves from a 40-pound predator.

Go outside WITH them. Every. Single. Time.
