A good bill of health for this sweet, sugar faced boy. Beasley. 💙I am so happy - he was trying to do little tricks, excited to meet people and pups, and always happy to spend time with his family at All Kinds Veterinary Hospital. He’s been coming here since he was 9 weeks old. 💙Beasley does have some health issues - a mass in a tricky location that makes surgery impossible, a life on low dose prednisone for a cortisol insufficiency, and he’s slowing down - especially his hind end. I try to pay close attention to what Beasley wants to do and what makes his tail wag - and be sure to give him exactly those moments. ... See MoreSee Less

I’ve had a passion for dog dance since I first adopted Beasley. I shoved my dream of dog dancing away for many years. Between shortcomings with self-esteem and imposter syndrome, I just never had the courage to step out into that uncharted territory. I’m not a dancer. I don’t have a dance background. The doors seemed locked closed far too often than open.Fast forward to a new opportunity, having Roni Sagi teach at BFF Pet Services in a multi-day seminar. A room filled with open mindedness, excitement, eagerness to learn - the energy was palpable. I was asked to perform a short segment with Darby - in front of many talented trainers - and music… and heck, should you even call it… dance. Nervous? Yes. Am I a dancer? No. How do I look? My mind buzzed. Roni’s calm words was like a soft blanket cushioning a heavy fall. “Slow down.” “You’re doing fine.” “Don’t feel you have to rush so much.” “Connect with him.” Her tips, guidance, and instruction helped both in training and emotionally.Then it hit me. Dog dance isn’t about cramming as many tricks as fast and daring as you can so that the dopamine dump never ends for the audience. This is so much more. I could breathe - a breath that I felt I held on to for years.After we finished, I realized that we can do this… and how right it felt. In that moment I cried in front of everyone, but since then ignited a joy in my life that had been shelved for far too long.I lost my joy a lot of last year. I couldn’t figure out why - and I know it was multi-faceted. Since working with Roni, I have new found motivation. Yes, it’s taking me back to some basics. You know what? My connection is becoming deeper than before. I find myself training and eager for the next session.You may find that I post some different content - trying some new things in scary uncharted land. I hope the supporters stay along and if you don’t like it, please scroll on or simply unfollow me. You’d be doing both of us a favor. If you’re in a hard place, don’t give up. Don’t miss the opportunity to try something new. If I could scream to my younger self - don’t miss out on life just because you didn’t think you were enough. I hope you dance. ... See MoreSee Less

This one dog training exercise is a game changer and one of my favorites. Why use cavalettis? Coming from my equestrian background, I do apply a lot of equine theory into my dog training. So why cavalettis - the seemingly mundane exercise of poles…* Improves coordination & proprioception — The dog becomes more aware of where each foot is and has to carefully coordinate its limbs.* Strengthens muscles — Particularly the core, hindquarters, and muscles involved in lifting the limbs.* Encourages better movement — Correctly spaced poles can encourage a dog to lift its feet, flex its joints, and engage its body.* Improves balance — Especially when cavaletti are incorporated into transitions, circles, or changes of direction.* Develops rhythm and cadence — Consistent spacing encourages a regular tempo.* Builds confidence — Dogs learn to calmly negotiate obstacles rather than rushing or avoiding them.* Provides mental stimulation — The dog has to pay attention and solve a simple physical problem.* Can help rehabilitation/conditioning — When appropriately prescribed, poles can be useful for controlled strengthening and movement, although spacing and height should be tailored to the individual dog.Cavalettis aren’t just about making a dog jump over something. They’re a form of movement problem-solving. Changing the height, spacing, gait, or direction changes the physical and cognitive challenge.I love using FitPaws in my training room and of course some other fun tools that you can find on my Amazon shop.
