The Dogs of 2025

I’m honored to have met with all these puppos and their people this past year.

There are actually more dogs than the ones pictured, but I don’t always have photos to share!

 

It’s an immense privilege to work with people and their sweet dogs so they can have a happy, harmonious life together.

In the past year I’ve consulted and worked with more than 60 guardians, both in-person and online, with:

  • everyday manners

  • troubleshooting one or more behavior problems

  • preparing dogs for life with a baby

  • separation anxiety

  • dogs with fearful and aggressive behavior

  • helping folks prepare to bring a dog into the home

I also taught the very dedicated staff of the Springfield Humane Society how to train their shelter dogs on two simple behaviors that can help them be more “adoptable.”

Thank you for entrusting me with your sweet pup’s behavior! I can’t wait to meet The Dogs of 2026. Enjoy the slideshow — click through to find your dog!

Our dogs Daisy and Petey wish you a restful, peaceful, and cozy holiday, full of squeakies and treatos.
