Must-Follow Creators for Dog Lovers: Inspiration Across Platforms

As an American, I spend a good chunk of my time scrolling through TikTok. And if you’re a fellow dog mom, your FYP is probably like mine—filled with amazing tips and tricks for pups of all shapes and sizes. From activity ideas and enrichment hacks to reactivity training and routine inspiration, TikTok has been my go-to for all things dog-related. Honestly, the wealth of information is endless!

So, when news broke that TikTok might be banned in America, I was devastated. But instead of panicking, I’ve started making an effort to follow some of my favorite creators on Instagram to stay connected.

If you’re in the same boat and looking to keep up with some incredible creators, I’ve put together a list of my favorites for you to check out. Trust me, you won’t want to miss them:

1. @harveytherescue

   
   

This account follows Abby and her two adorable dogs. Abby is not only a dedicated dog mom but she is also, if I am correct, a social media manager for Native, a brand specializing in dog supplements. She’s an inspiration to me, balancing her passion for dogs with her professional life while giving her pups the best life possible.

I love keeping up with Abby’s journey. From her thoughtful training sessions to tackling behavioral challenges with her dogs, her content is both relatable and motivating. She also shares insights into what she feeds her dogs, their daily routines, and creative training ideas.

This account is run by Ave and her adorable dog, Dune. Recently, Ave took an exciting leap and launched her very own business, Duney, specializing in dog leashes.

I first discovered her account when she appeared on my FYP, fostering a reactive bully while simultaneously managing her own reactive bully. Talk about dedication! Her content quickly became a favorite of mine, as it’s filled with relatable moments and inspiring progress.

I especially love following Ave and Dune’s adventures, from outdoor escapades to training sessions that highlight the hard work and love she pours into giving Dune the best life possible

I first stumbled upon Isabel’s page when she was fostering an amazing pup named Miss Poutine. Since then, I've been continually inspired by her unwavering dedication to helping dogs in need. Isabel has fully embraced her passion for rescue work, consistently fostering dogs, raising awareness about the impact of fostering, and even supporting local shelters in her community.

Following Isabel means you’re in for a steady stream of heartwarming stories, educational posts about the fostering and shelter system, and powerful insights into the lives of rescue dogs.

I recently discovered this account, and although it’s new to me, I’ve already found it incredibly inspiring. The account follows Kelsie and her journey as a dedicated dog mom to two pups, and her story is nothing short of motivating. What stands out most is that Kelsie lives in an apartment with reactive dogs—a challenge many can relate to. Through hard work, patience, and a deep commitment to her dogs, she’s found ways to meet their needs while addressing their reactivity.

Kelsie’s approach has been a huge inspiration for me, reminding me of the importance of consistency in training Marlee. I’ve also picked up so many helpful tips from her content for managing Marlee’s reactivity. I’ll definitely be following along to continue learning and cheering her on!

This account, run by Hillary, has been one of my favorites for quite some time. Hillary shares her journey training her highly reactive pittie, Jude, who is not only a rescue but also struggles with health issues that have intensified his reactivity. What stands out most is Hillary’s unwavering patience and deep understanding of Jude's needs. Through her dedication, she has made an incredible impact on his life, and it’s been so inspiring to watch their progress together.

Her journey has not only been a source of motivation but has also provided me with invaluable tips and advice for working with my own reactive bully. Hillary’s approach is a true testament to the power of consistency, compassion, and trust in the training process.

Cole is truly one of my favorite internet dogs! This incredible deaf pup works as a therapy dog, making a difference in schools, veterans’ shelters, and hospitals. His gentle nature and loving spirit are helping to redefine the image of pitties everywhere, proving that they aren’t defined by stereotypes but are, in fact, gentle giants who just want to share love. Watching Cole’s heartwarming adventures with his three deaf dog siblings is a pure joy. The positive impact they make on the world is nothing short of inspiring!

Myla’s account is an absolute must-follow for anyone who loves Staffies! Her mom brings her daily adventures to life with the cutest voice overs that make every moment even more endearing. The photos and videos are consistently adorable and guaranteed to brighten your day. What makes Myla’s account even more special is the focus on her journey with skin allergies. Her mom shares valuable insights and tips on how they manage Myla’s skin issues, making the account both heartwarming and informative. It’s a great resource for anyone navigating similar challenges with their own pups.
