Me giving Juni a pep talk before she takes the big step off into the deep end.

This boy, Goose, went over the Rainbow Bridge this week. And we are devastated.

So many dogs leave this world too soon. With a heart of gold, and a disposition that everyone would kill to have.

Rest easy my friend. Cancer sucks. And is totally not fair.

Where you are going, may your bowl always be full, and the squirrels be slow.

Free event! Talking about adopting littermates. Should be enlightening.

Thinking about getting two puppies at once?

Some people swear it’s the best decision they’ve ever made. Others… well… let’s just say they have stories.

In this month’s Bark About Behavior, we’re talking about littermates - the myths, the realities, and what really drives the problems.

📅 Join us live and bring your questions! Wednesday, August 13th, 7pm Eastern

Guess which one of these 6 dogs is a little hesitant during dinner time.

In yet another episode of “you can’t train a prey driven dog not to chase wildlife”. Well, yes you can.

Another free pack walk tomorrow, Friday July 25, at 9:00 am!

This is a non-contact socialization event for you and your dog, that lasts about an hour. Your “Pack Walk Captain” will be Chris Ramsay.

Rules:
🐾 6’ leash (no retractable leashes)
🐾 Reactive dogs should wear a red bandana
🐾 Dogs are not to meet unless instructed by the Captain
🐾 Bring water, and treats are highly recommended

See you at Pinecrest!

Pinecrest Pack Walks start tomorrow (Friday), 9:00 am!

Want to join this great non-contact event?

Awesome! Join us!

Bring your (semi) well behaved dog with a 6’ leash to Pinecrest, and meet us in Central Park. If your dog is reactive…barks a bit, pulls on the leash, maybe a bit uncomfortable around other dogs, put a red bandana on them to let others know you need a little more space.

It’s a great opportunity to practice manners in a public space and leash skills with a trainer on hand.

Free online event!

Training Between the Ears is the best system I have ever witnessed, and I use their techniques every day.

Dogs that are the “fun police”, just outright grumpy, or energetic puppies with excited energy on greetings, can pose some serious questions on what to expect behavior wise when dogs interact.

Hope to see you there!

"My older dog keeps the puppy in line. It's natural!"

Is it though?

Or are we giving one dog a job they never applied for, maybe don't even want, or maybe were never really qualified for?

Here's the thing nobody talks about: most of what we call "corrections" between dogs aren't corrections at all. They're something else entirely.

And when we misread the situation? That's when things can go sideways fast.

Join us for this month's FREE Bark About Behavior where we're diving deep into the messy world of dog-to-dog dynamics. Fair warning: you might never look at your dogs the same way again – and you and your dogs will be better for it.

Thanks to everyone that came to support Hope Heroes Ohio last Friday…a great organization.

Even with cloudy skies, about 2 dozen came out for a special pack walk at Pinecrest.
