11 inches of snow - turns the dogs into dolphins! Rowan is trying out his new vest - reflective neon orange with large "No Dogs" text. He is having surgery in March and his medications typically make him more anxious around other dogs, 🤞 this helps!. #DogsofBluesky #ReactiveDog #SmallBusiness

Home stretch! Getting close to being finished, the first time I've done a monochromatic so lots of learning, but happy with how it's turning out. #DogsofBluesky #ArtSky ##PetPortrait

"Just Google it, there's no excuse for not knowing about...[insert political topic]..." A comment from someone who doesn't understand that over 11 Million households in the US don't have home internet, and around 175,000 households only have a dialup connection (my brother being one of them...).

Frosted Colorado! 8 chilly degrees this morning, but Rowan loves the cooler temps... #DogsofBluesky #Colorado

Love this Serape patterned webbing - Here it is in a reflective cross-body strap and light weight adjustable leash. Traditional Serape is a style of Mexican blanket that is woven in many different colors and patterns, this is printed on reflective webbing. #DogsofBluesky #SmallBusiness #MakerMonday

I rarely get to meet up with my customers and their pups, so I'm thrilled that K and Kashmere live just blocks away. Going with classic black leash & belt, teal treat pouch and neon yellow belt bag. #DogsofBluesky #PositiveDogTraining #SmallBusiness

Cost of living increasing, thousands of government jobs getting cut, assistance for 1 in 3 people demolished... What will the cost in human lives be? People can't afford to live themselves, much less provide for their pets. What can be done to help them and the shelters? #Dogs #Cats #DogsofBluesky

3:31pm alarm dog, so glad I didn't over-nap evening walkies! #DogsofBluesky

4 degrees (F) makes for another chilly walk, fresh snow shows the 🐇🐇🐇 party 🐾 from last night. How do dogs not get brain freeze with all the sniffing? #DogsofBluesky

Flashback time, sleeping pup from 2 years ago... just like a mom showing off an embarrassing pic of my kid napping...😁 ##DogsofBluesky

My shops best seller: Backup Straps! Clip between harness & martingale collar for added security. 3 different sizes: lightest weight for pups under 10lbs. Rowan is 85lbs & modeling the heavy duty strap - he'd rather sniff & pee vs pose for pics! Questions? #DogsofBluesky #ReactiveDog #SmallBusiness

Like many small businesses leaving Meta, I'd love for you to follow me here, sign up for my newsletter (link in profile), & ask questions! I’d love to work with US-based dog guardians, R+ dog trainers, & other pet pros creating custom equipment. #DogsofBluesky #PositiveReinforcement #SmallBusiness

Starting his neighborhood watch duties a little late this morning. He (we) slept in because he was up late with an upset tummy, pup is still getting back to normal after a round of antibiotics... #DogsofBluesky #CritterChaser #NeighborhoodWatch

Flashback to our 1st year together: no one sleeps harder than a recently adopted shelter dog! 2-1/2 years old & had been through multiple homes prior to us. His last person was arrested and he was custodial for 6+ weeks before he was available. #DogsofBluesky #AdoptDontShop #ExceptionalDogs

Do you pick your dog equipment by how cute it is? How about Strong and Secure! If you could design the perfect leash for your Exceptional Dog, what would it look like? Material Strength - Hardware Strength & Security - Manufacturing Methods #DogsofBluesky #PositiveReinforcement #SmallBusiness

Do the math? Force = Mass x Acceleration. Your dog weighs 85 lbs and ♥️😍♥️ to chase critters 🐿️ - would you rather have hardware with an 120lb break strength, or 500lb break strength? #DogsofBluesky #PositiveReinforcement #CritterChaser

1/4 Story Time: Our first winter here, Rocco slipped out & attacked Rowan. His owner got there fast, but he’s been Rowan’s arch-nemesis ever since. Hard to avoid when we live on the same street! 🐶 Does your dog have a neighborhood nemesis? #DogsofBluesky #PositiveReinforcement #ReactiveDogs
