We were deeply saddened to learn that our student "Brutus" had been shot 3 times by police. However, we are thrilled that he is a miracle survivor.

Change is needed.

Stay tuned for more on this story. In the meantime, please share this article so we might raise awareness.

Homewood Police can be seen on surveillance video obtained by WBRC shooting Brutus after arriving at Ken Sobaski’s home in October. His home security system malfunctioned, mistakenly alerting police his house was being robbed.

We love our pet partners. And this time, we'd like to thank Allison at for assisting us with a "happy visit" with Maggie. Maggie gets overwhelmed with rapid change and needs time to process new events. So, this was an opportunity for us to slow down her experience and allow her to acclimate to the environment. She did amazingly well with this plan. We encourage all veterinarians to partner closely with canine behavior experts to facilitate these types of exposures. Would you utilize happy visits for your dog if they were offered?

They all have a story to tell. What's Pippa's story? To use whatever corrective device that is needed to make certain your dog never pulls you again.

This sweet face is still working through impulse control issues. Her mom, who is 80+ years old and has a knee replacement, was pulled and fell down. This kept her from walking for 2 weeks. The necessity to be open to the widest set of tools and techniques is paramount in a case such as this.

This is yet another reason we embrace customizing our curriculum for each family we see -- because everyone's situation is unique.

Dogs have an outstanding ability to strategize. As such, they will knowingly embed secondary missions underneath their supposed primary objectives. This means that what you see on the surface of a dog's behavior might not be their only intention at play. This is the reason behind our name, Three Dimensional Dog; where we focus on behavior patterns, connectivity, and interpret the inner narrative of a dog.

Oftentimes when a dog tests their boundaries it can look as though they have forgotten what's expected of them. However, what is usually the case is they are testing to see if YOU have forgotten. We call this the "Oh, I forgot!" manipulation. This supposed error has contributed to a belief system that dogs can be somewhat unintelligent and easily forgetful. Instead, this points more to a clever auditing system designed to assess the competency of their caregivers. It's a test. Be ready.

A well-trained dog is not necessarily a well-behaved dog. Dogs, like people, can possess a myriad of skills and knowledge, yet are still capable of making poor decisions on purpose: not because they haven't attained the proper knowledge, but because they don't care. Hence, the reason we frame our education programs as "parent training" or "parenting" courses. These terms indicate an ongoing, iterative process of fostering relationships and guidance of the dog towards proper decision-making in accordance with the values of society and the culture of the individual family.

Pack Leader? That doesn't make sense.
Pack Leader? That doesn't make sense.

We are told by some that we should be "pack leaders." But what does that term mean, and is it even correct?

Group class is in full swing! We sometimes affectionately call it our Brewery Prep Course. Many of our students comment with "I didn't think this would be possible." But we make the seemingly impossible, a reality.

Sammy, the Super Service Dog, has now mastered 10 different tasks for his mom. She suffers from a neuromuscular disorder that can have many different symptomatic features. Sammy has a task for each of them. Among those tasks are to search and find mom is she is incapacitated or unable to call for help. See him in action below. And you might be surprised to know that the cost for such a dog would often exceed $25,000-$30,000 and take several years to train. We got it done in around 6 months of occasional training sessions and for around $2,639! She saved well over $22,000. Sammy's training is ongoing, but he has given quite a bit of life back to mom.

Impulsive dogs are a danger to you and themselves. It's important to get this issue under control ASAP using whatever tools and proper means available. (p.s. this client was fine, but did suffer from a fall due to the dog suddenly pulling them.)

This is just one of many exercises we use in our group classes. Each dog has to return to their owner without being distracted by the other dog. Get started today and we will have you and your dog ready for spring fun out in public. Www.ThreeDimensionalDog.com

The Importance of Rest
The Importance of Rest

Rest is every bit as important as work and play. Learn from your dog and find your optimal balance. From our friend Dr. Josh Klapow at Mental Drive.

Our friend, Dr. Joshua C Klapow, clinical psychologist, gives his insights into providing and receiving relative strengths in relationships with our dogs and in our intimate relationships. *And be sure to click the "Like" button if you think Poppy and Clementine are the cutest Frenchie's ever. #mentaldrive
