Paraphrased from a blog by Don Hanson. Many organizations positions and policies are based on the careful review of the growing number of peer-reviewed, scientific studies that demonstrate that shock is not only unnecessary but is harmful, both physically and psychologically. So, let’s look at som...

But just because they recognize words doesn’t mean they speak English so you don’t need to keep repeating the words. You’re just barking at them for no reason at that point.

Do you take your dog for car rides (other than to the vet)? Do they ride in the front or back seat or in a crate?

We can help get your dog comfortable riding in the car no matter whether it’s the front or back seat. The most important thing no matter where they ride is SAFETY FIRST!

✅ Always securely attach your dog in the car either with a seatbelt made for dogs or in a crate.

✅ Get them accustomed and desensitized to getting in and out of the car.

✅ Start with just getting your pup comfortable being in the car.

✅ Take short rides to start.

✅ Make it fun and enjoyable for them and you!

We are always glad to know when we make a difference in family’s lives! We are only there to train for 1 hour out of 24 so it’s awesome to hear when our clients are able to share what they learned with the rest of the family so that everyone keeps consistency with training their dog.

“Scott was a godsend in helping us to get our giant lab pup under control in the house and on walks! He trained me as much as the dog 😂 I was able to easily keep up between sessions and teach the rest of the family what I had learned! Max and I thank you!!” - Heather Murray Broadbent

Start 2024 on the right paw with the APDT’s National Train Your Dog Month, which celebrates dogs and stresses the importance of canine training among pet professionals and families with four-legged members.

Throughout January, we will provide several resources for pet lovers, like understanding training methods and how to find the right trainer for you and your pet’s needs. Since many dogs and puppies are adopted or purchased from breeders and brought home during the winter holidays, January is the perfect month to focus on dog training education.

As we gear up for the Thanksgiving festivities this week, it's important to remember that our furry friends can also enjoy some special treats on this special day! While it's crucial to be cautious about what we feed our pets, there are several Thanksgiving foods that can be shared with them in moderation.

Here are some safe and healthy options to consider:

1️⃣ Turkey: Turkey is the star of the Thanksgiving feast, and luckily, it can be shared with your pet too! Ensure that the turkey is fully cooked, boneless, and free from any seasoning or spices. Remove the skin and excess fat, and cut it into small, easily digestible pieces. Remember, moderation is key!

2️⃣ Sweet Potatoes: Sweet potatoes are a nutritious and delicious addition to your pet's Thanksgiving meal. They are packed with vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants. Make sure to cook them thoroughly, without any added sugar, butter, or marshmallows. Serve them in small, bite-sized portions.

3️⃣ Green Beans: Green beans are a fantastic source of vitamins and minerals for your furry friend. They are low in calories and high in fiber, making them a healthy treat. However, avoid using green beans that are seasoned with salt or other additives. Serve them plain, steamed, or lightly cooked.

4️⃣ Pumpkin: Pumpkin is not only a fall favorite for humans but also a great addition to your pet's diet. It is rich in fiber and can aid in digestion. However, make sure to use plain, canned pumpkin without any added sugars, spices, or preservatives. A small spoonful mixed with their regular food can be a delightful treat. (DO NOT USE PIE MIXTURE)

5️⃣ Cranberries: Cranberries are a Thanksgiving staple, and they can be shared with your pet too! These tart berries are packed with antioxidants and can promote urinary tract health. However, AVOID feeding your pet cranberry sauce, as it often contains high amounts of sugar. Instead, offer a few plain, unsweetened cranberries as a tasty snack.

Remember, it's crucial to introduce new foods gradually and in moderation.

Always consult with your veterinarian before making any significant changes to your pet's diet, especially if they have any underlying health conditions or dietary restrictions.

Let's make this Thanksgiving a special one for our furry friends too! 🐶🐱🦜 Share the love and joy of the holiday season by treating them to these safe and healthy Thanksgiving foods. Wishing you and your pets a happy and healthy Thanksgiving! 🍁🦃🍂

Happy Halloween! 🎃
PSA: Be careful walking your dogs tonight with random chocolate candies likely to have been dropped on the ground by excited trick-or-treaters.

Another good reason why the command “Leave it” is so important.

Now that the kids are back in school your dog may get bored and lonely. Here are a few tips to make the transition as smooth as possible.

🐾 Curb Boredom with plenty of toys and even calming background noise or music

🐾 Exercise is key to curbing boredom and destructive behavior. Make sure your pup still gets plenty of exercise, both physically and mentally.

🐾 Ease them into the new routine - your pup may have been used to lots of activity and attention with the kids home for summer and may not understand the change in routine and decreased level of activity with them.

🐾 Determine Bathroom Breaks - make sure your pup has plenty of opportunities to go outside to relieve themselves, or hire a dog walker if you can’t walk them yourself during the day.

🐾 Don’t make a big deal about leaving. This can cause separation anxiety and more stress for your pup.

🐾 Make time for your dog. Once the day is winding down, ensure you and your family are still setting time aside to spend with your pup. It will strengthen that human-canine bond which is essential for a happy pet and family.

Contact us if you need help for your pup during this transition or with any other training issues.

Does your dog love their crate?

Do they feel safe and go there on their own and stay there on their own, even with the door open? They should. A crate should never be used as punishment or “jail”. It’s a safe space for your dog.

Think of it more as your pup’s room in your house, just like your other kids would have their own room in your house. It’s their own place to go sleep and relax, calm down, be quiet, or play and enjoy themselves – with or without the door open.

We look forward to when this happens in the USA. …

We are thankful for the positive feedback and so happy we help so many first time dog owners confidently integrate their new family member.

“As first time dog owners, we initially relied on youtube videos to train our puppy. We were not sure what kind of professional training will help. After some searching, we were lucky to find Scott. He has been the perfect dog trainer for our family! He not only trained our puppy, but also taught us important skills that have made us into confident dog owners. He is good at figuring out the family's needs and creates a custom training program.”
-Amit S.
