Sad news for the world of dog trainers. This lady was a legend and a pioneer, she changed the concept of teaching dogs, introduced scientific theories from her extensive work with aquariums and sea life, and showed us the beauty of clicker training with our tdogs. RIP Karen Pryor we are all grateful to you!

Vale Karen Pryor! Sad news that Karen has passed away. She was 92. Karen did so much for animals and set the groundwork for many of us to pursue careers in animal training & teaching. What a legacy! ❤️🐾❤️

If you learnt from her, met her, or read her work, spend a moment to remember how Karen changed your life ❤️

And if you haven't read Don't Shoot The Dog, it's a great place to learn about training anyone or anything.

Some puppies need to be taught a retrieve, some are just naturals. Here’s little Lilla, who lives in Nova Scotia, a pup from my last litter, three months old, doing a spontaneous retrieve. Nice work little one!

With the cold weather comes salty sidewalks. Good to protect your dogs feet with some kind of footwear. Thanks Jeannette for sharing.

Thomas (was Mikey) properly pooped out after his first puppy class. I encourage all my new puppy owners to get enrolled asap into a positive puppy class BEFORE pups are four months of age. Have to take advantage of the critical socialization period.

This is a great puzzle for dogs, designed by Nina Ottoson. These are two 10 week old PUPPIES, Margo and Lilla, having fun with it. Helps develop problem-solving skills.

Is your puppy getting into trouble? Chewing cords, rugs, just about anything within reach? this is common behaviour for a puppy. I loved a stuffed kong. I use their dry kibble and moisten it with just enough Cheez Whiz. Stuff the kong, and voila! Peace and quiet!
