Training Session
Training Session

Teaching Tuesday!! Monica and I have been having some training sessions with an up and coming local dog trainer, Zion Parks. I learned of Zion through a client. This particular client had an extremely fear aggressive dog who had been “released” from several other veterinary hospitals. After a few tumultuous visits at Gardner and Hydrick, I suggested this client reach out to a trainer. Through a series of events, or maybe even sheer luck, he met Zion. The difference Zion made in this client’s pet was remarkable. I would even dare to say it was a miracle. Seeing these results, I felt compelled to reach out to Zion and I am glad I did. Although I am a little biased, I feel Monica is extremely smart and trainable. She has always had great house manners, but I have trouble getting her to come back to me when we are in a stimulating environment. I know the problem is with me and the delivery of my commands, so having someone correct my behavior is helpful. With Zion's help and me consistently working on the training aids Zion has taught me, I am laying the foundation for a solid recall. If you are interested in having some training assistance with a puppy or an older pet, I strongly recommend reaching out to Zion. He offers a free first "meet and greet" session. His number is 229-303-3656. Here is a video of one of our training sessions behind Gardner and Hydrick Veterinarians.

Here is a little sampling of Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs performed by Ballet Theatre South. Get your tickets for the show on December 6,7,and 8 at the Albany Municipal Auditorium. Both of Dr. Haley’s girls will be performing!!

Since today is Frannie’s birthday, he took her class some hot, fresh Krispy Kreme donuts. To his surprise, they sang Happy Birthday to the both of them bc it’s both of their birthdays today!! HBD you two!!

With the help of the snuffle mat, this sweetie pie had a stress free veterinary visit today! It is the goal of the doctors and staff to help puppies have more pleasant appointments in order to reduce the stress, fear and anxiety associated with the veterinarian on future visits. If you have a new puppy and are looking for low stress veterinarians, Gardner and Hydrick may be the place for you.

Dr. Haley visited the Tallulah Massey library and read her favorite childhood book “The Best Nest,” by P.D. Eastman today. She said all the children were well behaved and great listeners.
