Friends, thank you so much for your support — sh Friends, thank you so much for your support — sharing our resources, spreading the word about our fundraiser, or making a donation — on Giving Tuesday!

Our handmade crochet squeaky ball fundraiser to be Our handmade crochet squeaky ball fundraiser to benefit the Montgomery County animal shelter is going on this week, and we’ve already sold 1/3 of the crochet balls in just one day of classes! These super cute soft squeaky ball toys, made by one of our awesome board members, are available for sale at our Training Center (during select hours - see below) this week, and 100% of the proceeds will go to the shelter to help animals in need. Plus, your donation will be doubled because Your Dog's Friend will match the total amount raised! To purchase a (limited supply) crochet ball, current students can do so before or after their class this week (while they last!). Non-students, please message me to set up a time to stop by if you’d like to buy one! #Fundraiser #RockvilleMD
We absolutely love working with rescue groups to p We absolutely love working with rescue groups to provide referrals to dog professionals like certified force-free trainers, behavior consultants, and veterinary behaviorists. When rescues are thoughtful about behavior and training and are committed to positive reinforcement, force-free approaches, everyone wins - the dog whose emotional welfare is being cared for, the foster who’s being supported, the adopter who’s being set up for success, and the larger community who’s welcoming a dog whose behavioral health has been mindfully nurtured. “YDF is an invaluable resource for the pet community. We’ve been reaching out for training referrals over the years and we’re so fortunate to have them close by. We’ve had great results with every trainer they’ve recommended to us! As a non-profit pit bull rescue, we’re sometimes stuck making financial decisions. With the support of YDF, we can get the insight we need at no cost to us. Sometimes all we need is a friendly voice on the other line to help walk us through trouble shooting scenarios.” @vindicatedpits #givingtuesday #yourdogsfriend #nonprofit
