Teaching boundaries.

Teaching your dog to get out of the kitchen when asked or to respect a piece of furniture is a fairly easy task for your dog to understand…if you’re consistent.

If they eat, take them out. If they wake up, take them out.

If they just got done playing, take them out.

So you bought a new puppy and the first thing he does as soon as he walks into your home is pee on the floor. You feel a tinge of anger creep in, but it’s a new relationship so you just clean up the mess and move on.

Training tools, the taboo of dog training.

If you’re at all involved in the dog community I’m sure you have read, seen, and/or heard folks bicker or maybe full out brawl about what training methods to use. You have one person accusing the other of abuse and the other person accusing the first person of being a snowflake. It seems to be a never-ending story about who’s right and who’s wrong.

“An Estimated 59% of Cats and 54% of Dogs in the United States are Overweight or Obese.” -The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention

Pet obesity is a problem here in the United States. I would say about 50% of the pets I encounter are overweight or obese…Let that sink in, 50%, and I only see or work with less than 1% of the pet population. Astronomical!!

“My dog just won’t focus on me when we’re outside, it’s like I’m not even here.”

You have probably heard this before from a friend or a family member – hell, you’ve probably witnessed this scenario at the local dog park. Here’s a little secret…they’re bored and if you relate to the above sentence, well you’re the one boring them… sorry if I’m busting your bubble.
