Miss DAISY graduated from her Canine Life and Social Skills BA program! ๐ผ๐พ
This sweet girl has been working on foundation skills for her future therapy dog journey, and she is off to such a beautiful start.
Therapy dog work begins long before the vest.
It starts with connection, confidence, polite greetings, settling, focus, body awareness, and learning how to work around everyday distractions.
DAISY and her family have done a wonderful job building those early skills together.
Congratulations, Team DAISY! ๐๐พ

Happy Fatherโs Day to Jason ๐
Dog dad.
Dad.
Grandpa.
Snack provider.
Couch sharer.
Adventure partner.
And the one who somehow ends up surrounded by dogs, kids, chaos, and love.
We are so grateful for you. ๐
Happy Fatherโs Day to all the dads, granddads, dog dads, and father figures being celebrated today. ๐พ

LOKI ๐๐งก
A few favourites from LOKIโs mini photo session with Tripdog Photography a couple of months ago ๐พ
At 10 years old, every photo feels a little more precious.
This boy has been my training partner, teacher, challenge, adventure buddy, and constant companion through so many seasons of life.
Athletic. Sensitive. Intense. Brilliant. Complicated. Funny.
And deeply loved. ๐ฅฐ
Iโm so grateful for the opportunity to capture these moments and preserve a little piece of who he is right now.

Miss DAISY at her Canine Life and Social Skills class ๐ผ๐พ
This young galโs journey toward becoming a therapy dog has just begun, and she is already well on her way.
Therapy dog skills start with foundations.
Confidence.
Calmness.
Connection.
Polite greetings.
Settling.
Working around distractions.
DAISY is learning that the world can be interesting, people can be wonderful, and she can still stay connected with her person.
A beautiful start for this sweet girl. ๐๐พ
