The hard dogs are hard because you have yet to learn something.

They are worth it 🐶💜

Not professional quality pics, but be advised we are officially out of office until further notice!

Pup one is down and we are counting!

Here's a video that is perhaps a bit on the silly side, but still showing just how easy it can be to begin to teach your dog where to use the restroom! It's not hard at all and therefore this is not a long or complicated video. We controlled circumstances to make sure we were where we wanted to be when the dog needed to go. We gave the command and waited for nature to take it's course. Success!

Finally have a direction for where we want to go and what we want to do with the YouTube channel! Going to start putting videos out at least once a week and just make them like episodes! Hopefully in the course of the everyday there will be plenty of things to share and learn! The first video is just a short of hanging out with a couple of sweet boxer boys! Never forget the importance of exercise!

Just a short clip from walking around with a couple Boxer boys, lovely dogs on a lovely evening!

I love the theory behind this and the fact that this Rottie does it so well! We may not need bear training this far south, however there is a such thing as snake avoidance training, reach out to us to learn more!

Photo from that one time a training session was held up when a hawk decided he'd had enough of the Yorkies' trash talkin! 😗

Taking advantage of the opportunity to work with Ms. Suzi the Akita, I had her pose with a few different dogs to help our breed, the Tosa Inu. Here she is with Mr. Yoshi, a sweet but solid Japanese import.

Dogs getting along is not a foregone conclusion. However, with proper guidance any two dogs can get along fine. Akita Inu and Tosa Inu are widely regarded as very serious and potentially dangerous breeds that shouldn't be capable of getting along with other dogs. Yet here we are... ❤❤❤

This Memorial Day weekend we celebrated two family birthdays, one of which is also a veteran, celebrated Memorial day, remembered family and friends who served and are no longer with us, remembered family and friends who served and are still with us, got some time to just hang out as husband and wife, got some time to just hang out as parents with our children, and got time to get ready for the work week, and that's not the half of it.
I genuinely hope your weekend was even better than ours. God bless you all and I hope you had a wonderful Memorial day.

May your every day begin with my favorite soundtrack. ❤

This is a good note on why slip leads are better than harnesses, but I am sharing it to point out that this is a Pit getting attacked by a safe breed. We should talk about that more.

Never forget that when you take your dog to the dog park you are still necessary. The largest dog in this shot is a 9 month old puppy who is still learning what to expect from other dogs. I worked hard to make sure there were good and positive interactions while being the example of calm constancy that I expect from Shinobi when he is grown.

I know I've said this before, but... Go exercise your dog.
Right Meow!

Happy Friday! Haru here standing around tired to demonstrate what your dog looks like standing around tired of waiting for you to give them a walk! Lol!

This is a few miles into our run and you can already see how we manage to keep large powerful dogs in line: Exercise is utterly important. Tired dogs don't chew, dig, bark, fight, etc... Get out there, you'll both be better for it!
(Thank you Haru for being our model, sweet boy!)

Heads up! If you are importing or traveling internationally with your pup, please read!

Starting on August 1, all dogs entering the U.S. (including those that left the U.S. and are returning, and regardless of the country they are coming from) must be:
• healthy upon arrival
• at least 6 months of age
• microchipped
• accompanied by a CDC Dog Import Form receipt and required vaccination and veterinary documents.

Additional requirements may apply depending on where the dog has been in the last 6 months and whether or not the dog was vaccinated in the United States.

Use CDC’s Q&A tool (the CDC “DogBot”) to determine what rules apply to your dog: https://bit.ly/2rww2bq

Yosh and Tsuki teamed up to keep their "puppy" calm at the vet's office because they felt he might need a good cleaning.

This is basic geometry. The circles don't lie. Just sayin... 😗
