Dog Mom Mentality

This week we are talking to Cailean from @babethedeafpup! Cailean's dog, Babe, is a 3 year old foster fail bulldog! Babe is a double merle dog and is deaf and partially vision impaired as a result of poor breeding. They live in Ontario, Canada, and enjoy spending time out on the trails hiking and at their barn with the horses. While Cailean works her accounting job, Babe likes to spend her days napping and judging her from the fortress of blankets on the couch. Cailean uses her platform on Instagram to share her adventures with Babe, which includes everything from training experiences to meeting dog friends to dealing with allergies, along with great information about double merle dogs.

This week we are talking to Tiffany from @loons.and.roogs! The crew behind the account Loons.and.Roogs is made up of Luna, a 5-year-old Aussie mix, Ruger, a 5-month-old Bernese/Pyrenees mix, and Tiffany. Luna was Tiffany's first dog, who she got back in college. And like so many college kids, she knew nothing about how to properly raise and care for a dog. Because of this, Luna developed severe fear-based reactivity towards dogs, kids, and some adults. Tiffany didn't understand what reactivity was, so this went unaddressed for years, and as you can imagine, got worse and worse. Thanks to the Dog Instagram community, Tiffany learned about reactivity and balanced training and embarked on the year and a half long journey working through Luna's fears. So much so, that Tiffany and her partner Austin recently added a second dog to their family, Ruger. Ruger and Luna were best friends at first sight. His goofy and calm demeanor has helped Luna accept him, and finally give her a companion that Tiffany always wanted to give her. They live in Colorado and spend as much time as they can in the mountains exploring.

This week we are talking to Rachael from @chesapeake_thefluffycorgi / @chessy_thefluffycorgi! Rachael and her Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Chesapeake (AKA Chessy), live in the suburbs of Philadelphia and are very active in training and dog sports. Rachael thought she was set up for success when getting Chessy - she went through a reputable breeder, had lots of friends who had trained dogs, was already active in the dog IG world, and had done a lot of research. However, even though she had this idea in her head of what it would be like to bring a puppy home and had a support system, she realized it was nothing like what she thought it would be after her and her fiancé brough Chessy home. The decisions they made with Chessy's training, specifically doing a board and train at a younger age, had some negative side effects on the friend group she had made and she quickly saw how easy comparison can creep in.

This week we are talking to Tori from @tmistick and @wearwagrepeat! Tori's dogs are Burt and Lucy, two 10 year old chocolate labradors and they all live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Lucy's favorite activity in the whole world is swimming and she tries to get completely drenched at least once a day (even in January). In 2018, Lucy earned her Therapy Dogs International certification and in 2019 she earned an AKC Trick Dog Novice title. While Tori has had Lucy since she was 8 weeks old, Burt is a more recent addition to the family! He was adopted in September 2018. Burt has epilepsy, but has been nearly seizure free since being adopted. He brings a new meaning to the term “Lab Tested” and enjoys pushing the limits of every new dog product Tori brings home to blog about. Together, Tori and Burt have discovered a love of Barn Hunt and Burt is working on his Novice Title this year. Tori is your go-to person for all things dogs on her social media, blog and podcast, Wear Wag Repeat! You can find her courses, blogs and podcasts on Facebook, Pinterest and at wearwagrepeat.com.

This week we are talking to Michelle from @itskonono @itskonoskitchen @spacetofail! Michelle is a former Director of Technology turned pet industry entrepreneur. Michelle's dog, Kono, is a 4 year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix. They live in LA and he makes her life brighter every day with his derpy personality. Mcihelle says he is like a big lug who has no idea of his size and doesn't seem to feel anything when he runs into doorways because his head is so thick. Kono inspired her first company, Kono's Kitchen, which in turn inspired her newest endeavor, Space to Fail. You can buy Kono’s Kitchen single ingredient freeze-dried raw treats here, Layla approves of them!

This week we are talking to Haley from @paws.andreflect! Haley and her Australian Cattle Dog, Scout, currently live in Florida and plan to start van life next year, along with Haley's fiance Sean. Scout was found as a stray around Thanksgiving three years ago, described by the shelter as "shy but sweet". They celebrated her official adoption in January 2019! While her fear-based dog reactivity has been a huge part of their journey together, today their biggest focus is on play and overall confidence. Haley recently transitioned from her 9-5 copywriting job to being her own boss and starting a career inspired by Scout and many other dogs. You can support Haley on her blog here.

This week we are talking to Carly from @withadogpodcast! Carly is the host of the With A Dog podcast and dog mom to two rescued hound dogs Lupin and Albus (of course named after Harry Potter characters). She's been working in the pet industry for the last 10 years but in her free time you can find her reading way too many books, covering her dogs with blankets while they nap, or exploring the PNW. She shared with me that her dog Lupin's various medical and behavioral issues through the years have taught her so much about resiliency, problem solving, and functioning in emergency situations. Lupin and living in London inspired her to travel with her dogs and start the With A Dog brand!
