If you're new to Texas this small hidden spider does Not run around looking for you. But they also co-exist here and you can see them in your homes other spiders do eat them.

➡️.When using chemicals, remember your dogs sense of smell is 300, 000 times stronger than yours and chemicals can kill your small dogs and make bigger ones Very sick. Just read the cautions and be careful 🥹

My story~as 98% that I am passionate about sharing comes with hands on experience.
My Golden did get bite and I did lose her months later.😭

I believe in educating the ones that are willing to learn.
Owning an animal comes with responsibility, training and care taking for them and others. It's Your dog~Your Lifestyle

Three dogs 🤔one bone
They take turns sharing 🤗
Why? Because I train and make sure there is Never resource guarding
Is there? Yep🐾the two Poms are also litter mates.
The little 4lb in front , that cute little bean🤗will resource guard and take it IF I LET HER. No free rides for cute .
They wait , they find patience, because I train and take control of any "bad behavior" by being present.
Find the little white nose Sassy waiting patiently 🥰

This is Not a post for business!!!
I believe in educating the ones that are willing to learn.

If you give a Veterinarian an anxiety symptom they'll want to give you drugs 🥹😡 (Not all Vets but some trainers too)

I am So Disappointed 😵‍💫 and truly pi**ed 😡

The meds~what ever is used ⚠️ including CBD & Mushrooms 🐾🐾Do Not Train 🐾they dull and can backfire your efforts! This includes horses 🐎If you're trying to truly train your dog/horse to change any said behavior you need to work with the pure mind.

⚠️When your dogs behavior changes and aggression is seen, the First place I will send you is to the Vet ~ I am NOW second guessing that decision.

The story 🫣
I helped my client with their high anxiety dog feel calm at the Vet , so she could explain her issues. I did not interfere , but did tell the Vet I was her behaviorist and wanted to make sure all was good before first before moving forward on training
😡The Vet suggested anxiety meds 😡are you kidding me!!!
➡️Respect should be both sides of the business !! Especially when your standing in the room and suggested your client be there!
⚠️Behavioral issues can and should be addressed even when they are in pain.
⚠️ it's a different kind of behavioral help when in pain,
⚠️This is not training your dog , it's behavioral modification 🐾the process is different
