Traveling to Fayetteville, Arkansas with your dog? Check out Moxy by Marriott Bonvoy!

I have personally stayed at the Moxy in New Orleans, and I had a training event at the one in Fayetteville last night.

Recommend! 👍

We had a great time making new friends and learning new skills at Moxy Fayetteville!

If you will be traveling to Fayetteville, Arkansas with your dog, I encourage you to consider booking with them. They are conveniently located near the U of A in South Fayetteville, and there is plenty of green space for potty duties, as well as nearby restaurants with dog-friendly patios.

Regarding your pet stay:

🐾 2 pets per room with no breed or weight restrictions

🐾 Non-refundable $25 per night pet fee

🐾 Pet stay rooms receive a hang tag for the door

Moxy has something happening in the lobby almost every night of the week with happy hour from 4 to 6 PM, and a killer smoked old-fashioned (not on the happy hour menu). Don’t be surprised if you run into me listening to music and enjoying a drink.

For information on working with me to improve your dog’s social graces and travel skills, visit www.lovetrustteach.com or DM me to schedule a free 15 minute discovery call.

📸 Special thanks to Trubie’s mom for capturing and sharing this great photo!

Happy National Dog Day!

If your dog could tell you what he wanted for National Dog Day, I bet it would be more time with you.

Join me the first Wednesday of every month at a Northwest Arkansas bar for a SIPPIN’ SESSION and begin building the skills that can make more time together happen.

Tickets available through Eventbrite!

Turn off your lights!

LIGHTS OUT ARKANSAS - huge bird migration expected tonight.

Tonight could end up being one of the biggest bird migration nights of the year with nearly 400 million birds in flight.

With the upper level winds turning to the southwest, many migrant birds will take advantage of this.

Notice the glowing hotspot across the south central U.S. (includes Arkansas).

You can turn off your exterior home lights to aid the birds on their flight.

BREAKING: The Trump administration just issued an exemption to the Endangered Species Act (ESA), putting threatened and endangered species in the Gulf of Mexico on a fast track to extinction.

To clear the way for oil and gas drilling, the U.S. government removed the safety net for species on the brink of extinction.

Now, animals like giant manta rays, hawksbill sea turtles, and Rice’s whales are at risk.

Help stop other threatened and endangered species from losing their protections: https://oceana.ly/4tcilei

Eureka Springs, AR. is a GREAT place to visit with your dog!

Henri and I went to Eureka Springs to stay the night at America's Most Haunted Hotel, and check out the ghost tour. We also did a little shopping and eating.

After several days of rain and overcast skies, we finally got that Key Largo sunset.

While manger scenes rarely depict the presence of a dog, I feel certain there must have been one.

Will there be fireworks near you as 2025 comes to an end? 🎆

Help your dog through New Years Eve with these tips.

The day before (that’s TODAY!)…

🎆 Find a space in your home that can be darkened with low light and make it comfy
🎆 Be sure any anxiety meds or calming aides are refilled/restocked
🎆 Prep enrichment toys such as puzzles, Kongs, or Topples with extra special snacks like boiled chicken, yogurt, or peanut butter, and freeze

New Year’s Eve…

🎆 Take a sniffari walk (long leash, dog led) before dark
🎆 Keep your dog inside during displays or as time approaches midnight
🎆 10 minutes before midnight, take the toys from the freezer and let your pup get started in the cozy space you prepped
🎆 Play white noise or music (research has shown dogs prefer reggae and soft rock) to mask the booms
