Dante’s Journey to Paradise
When I first met Dante, his deep brown eyes carried a mixture of uncertainty and hope. A rescue from Florida, Dante had experienced many changes in his young life. After spending time in a foster home, he found his forever guardian in Arlington, VA, who was eager to give him the stable, loving home he deserved.
Baxter and the Battle of the Bone
I met Baxter in this critical moment, when his loving nature was being overshadowed by anxiety and reactivity. His guardians were concerned, unsure of how to help him navigate this unfamiliar territory. That’s when we introduced a balanced approach to training—one that combined patience, structure, and the tools needed to reshape his behavior.
