My dog is not my child. My dog is not my furbaby.

I am not his mother, I am his trainer. The word trainer is not a bad word, it means leader, supporter,disciplinary.. and friend.

My dog is my friend. He is my partner and my companion. To treat him like a child, to infantilize him and make it seem as though he needs my constant coddling or protection, would be unfair to him.

He is an adult carnivore that I have brought into my human world. Because of that it is my responsibility as his owner:

1) To communicate with him in a way he can understand.

2) To provide leadership, discipline and mutual respect.

3) To understand his instincts and needs, and provide appropriate outlets for them.

4) To train him and provide him the skills to function effectively in our human world, including acceptable manners and behaviours including the veterinarian.

Our dogs deserve to be given responsibility and allowed to be adult creatures, not perpetual babies.

Please, don't try to make them tiny humans, they aren't and they don't want to be. Dogs are wonderful because they are dogs. Let them be dogs.

Teach them to be good ones.

Meet Zander, a 3.5 year old Cockapoo who came to Doggie Du Good for help with leash reactivity and basic obedience training. Zander had limited social opportunities as a pup and consequently he was barking at people and dogs while out on walks. He is extremely sweet but was also a little insecure. What a difference 2 weeks made for Zander! He now walks well on leash and remains relaxed with all types of distractions: people, dogs, strollers, bikes, children etc. Zander also learned obedience skills (even a few tricks) which improved his confidence. Additionally, he became more comfortable engaging in off leash play with other dogs during his stay with us. According to his owner, Colleen, Zander is SO much less nervous now and is doing amazingly well!!

Sweet 16 year old Jack on the right and puppy Blue on the Left waiting for Blue's trainer, Karen, to arrive. Jack has done a great job accepting his "little" sister, but we can't help but think he is happy to see Blue starting school 😂
