Good Dog Fetch

I do believe this. I have worked with dogs that I felt had some of these same human behavior makeup.

Happy 11th Birthday Queen Raina! You are so loved! 😘❤️🎂

An active baby on the move means parents have a lot to juggle when sharing space with family dogs. This is one of the busiest stages of parenting!

❗️One of the most important rules: never allow your baby to approach the family dog. We always say: “Dog and baby on the scene, a parent in between.” This simple step prevents startling or uncomfortable interactions.

🐾 As babies crawl closer, dogs often show subtle stress signals—lip licking, yawning, scratching, turning away. Sometimes they’ll get up and leave, but other times they may stay put.

❗️That’s why your role is to notice these signals and prevent the approach. In our experience, it’s usually when the baby goes toward the dog that growls or snaps occur.

✅ Tools like crates, gates, play yards, or even positioning your own body as a barrier (what we call success stations) make a big difference in keeping everyone safe.

This is a great TED talk.

Ever wonder how dogs and handlers seem to read each other so perfectly on the agility course? Two-time Westminster champion Jennifer Crank (handler to P!nk the Border Collie and Bee the Shetland Sheepdog) breaks it all down in her TED Talk and shows how speed, timing, and trust turn into a real conversation between species.

What a run!!! I wonder how long the handler had to train for running that fast!
