This is a fabulous course that I have just completed! Unfortunately this course is only open for registration in January but I HIGHLY recommend any of ILLIS Animal Behaviour Courses if you are interested.

Tug is a great game to play!

Tug won't make a dog aggressive and letting them win won't make them think they're the boss of the family.

This is a big pet peeve of mine! Be respectful of others space.

I'm re sharing this as not only has it been ripped off and someone decided to make a bit of cash out of it , (thanks for thank) BUT it's important- I'm reposing as I am above and beyond people that are ignorant to the local laws. I am now after 11 weeks able to gently walk my dogs and make sure to do it where dogs are on lead after 11am.. l almost ended back in hospital today as so many don't think the law applies to them- in general PLEASE keep your dog under effective control and NO it's never good to sat they are friendly as the dog they are approaching may not be and their owner may not be either! Get a grip people- not everyone wants your fluffy Fido in their face or their dogs face- IF you have no vocal control please hire a trainer or keep them on least till you sort the situation.

Definitely easier to tell a dog what you like rather than what you don't like.

Just like people dogs can have irritants that build up

We’re all going through a lot right now, including our pets. Try to keep their emotions in mind, it will help you both in the long run! (Graphic courtesy of Mighty Dog Graphics)

Most posts are about dogs, but kitties need love too. Does your cat have a cat tower or something fun like this on the wall?

In honor of we put up a cat shelving area in the primary bedroom so that our cat can take advantage of the CatTV channel (a sliding door) and some additional vertical space!
He loves it!

ID - an adult tabby DSH is sitting on the highest shelf on a wall of cat shelving, a cat bed and a sisal post. It's arranged so he can jump up from the floor and climb to the ceiling. There is also a cat bed directly beside a sliding door, and a water fountain beside a jade plant on the ground.
