I am Elena Marsh. I have trained dogs for twelve years, most of that in a city, much of it with dogs who found the world a bit much. Paw & Post is where the longer notes live.
It began in 2019 as a way of keeping track of what actually worked with my own dog, Nell: a terrier cross with strong opinions and a talent for finding the one open gate on any street. She is twelve now, slower on the stairs and still first to the door. The writing has grown from her, and from the dogs and people I meet through training.
Nothing here is sponsored. There are no miracle cures, no perfect routines, and no suggestion that any dog should be a different sort of dog. Just walks, tea, muddy floors and the small adjustments that make living together easier. If you are here with a dog on your feet, you are in the right place.
