Cowboy says, “HAPPY FRIDAY!!!”

Happy National Dog Day!!!
❤️🐶❤️
Give your pup some extra love today.
Tell them you love them.
Tell them thank you.
Tell them they are the absolute best pup.

“It's funny to think about the things in your life that can make you cry just knowing that they existed … can then become the same thing that make you cry knowing that they're now gone. I think those things come into our lives to help us get from one place to a better one …”

There is no greater courage, than forfeiting the life you have, so that others may live the life that they want.
Thank you, to all the Men and Women who sacrificed everything.

Forever honored, to be a part of a puppy’s life. We never take for granted, the trust owners so freely give us with their dogs.

ATC Canine- Building Calm Confidence at Both Ends of the Leash

11/28/2023

As you may be aware, there is a Canine Respiratory Disease going around.
We have confirmed cases in the state of Maryland.
The anecdotal stories that I have heard about it make me feel worried and extra cautious.
Out of an abundance of caution for my clients dogs, my employees clients dogs, and all of our personal dogs here at ATC Canine I wanted to share the symptoms of the disease and some tips on how to avoid it.

SYMPTOMS
According to the AVMA, common symptoms of the respiratory illness in dogs include:

Chronic mild-moderate tracheobronchitis − a sudden or long-term inflammation of the trachea and bronchial airways, according to Merck Veterinary Manual − lasting 6-8 weeks that is barely or non responsive to antibiotics.

Chronic pneumonia not responsive to antibiotics.
Acute pneumonia that quickly turns severe sometimes in as little as 24-36 hours.

Difficulty or rapid breathing, wheezing, dehydration, fever, nasal or eye discharge, weight loss, loss of appetite and lethargy.

HOW TO AVOID IT.
The short answer is do not take your dog anywhere they do not absolutely need to go.
I would especially avoid high dog traffic areas. Pet stores, boarding kennels, daycares, veterinary offices, animal shelters, dog parks, trails and areas where people walk their dogs, etc...
My personal dogs are all staying home and on my property until I know a little more about what is going on and how to treat it.

We will be screening all of our clients to ensure their dogs have not been coughing, boarded recently, or groomed recently. If they have been we are going to postpone their training until we know it is safe to have them in our facility. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
❤️

My German Shepherd, Damien, will be 13 in a few days and I am doing everything in my power to ensure he stays safe and healthy.

Be careful and stay safe. If you see any of these symptoms in your dog contact your veterinarian right away.

A sincere thank you to all of our veterans! Happy Veterans Day!

“Throughout the course of American history, courageous men and women have taken up arms to secure, defend, and maintain these core principles upon which our nation’s freedoms depend.”

05/29/2023

“Here, at Arlington, the deafening sounds of combat have given way to the silence of these sacred hills. The chaos and confusion of battle has yielded to perfect, precise rows of peace. The Americans who rest here, and their families -- the best of us, those from whom we asked everything -- ask of us today only one thing in return: that we remember them.”

Happy Memorial Day from all of us here at ATC Canine.

Hey, I hope you’re all doing well. I’m putting this post out there to get a feel for how many people are interested in a potential Board and Train with their pup this winter. As covid numbers continue to rise in this area I want to have a plan in place in case business are made to close for a few weeks. My Board and Trains are 3-4 weeks long. Your dog learns basic and off-leash obedience. You will also receive a free ecollar at the end of the training. If you’re interested and want more information feel free to shoot us a message.

Here’s a little example of how to “Muzzle Condition” a dog. I want the dog to LOVE their muzzle. It should be something they get excited to see; not something that stresses them out and instantly floods them with the anxiety of something unpleasant and stressful is about to happen. Too many times I see dogs who only associate the muzzle with going to the vets or being in a situation they’re going to be uncomfortable with. That’s because the only time the owner puts the muzzle on the dog is when they absolutely need to. Start making time to show your pup that the muzzle is an awesome piece of equipment by making it associates with food. In this video you can see that I have my client start with a plastic cup from a fast food chain. We cut the cup in half to get the dog used to putting it’s nose into an enclosed object. I love starting with the cup because it lets the dog see an enclosed object and be rewarded through the opening. It also helps to retrain a dog who has already been conditioned to not enjoy being muzzled. “YES” releases the dog from keeping it’s nose in the cup and let’s it know food is on the way. After the dog is loving the cup we switch to a muzzle and do the same process. Before you know it you’re strapping the muzzle on, undoing the strap, saying YES and then removing the muzzle and rewarding the dog. Gradually transition to sometimes leaving the muzzle on for a few seconds, sometimes putting it on but then instantly removing it, and sometimes leaving it on for an extended period. Try this with your pups and let me know how it goes! ATC Canine Building Calm Confidence at Both Ends of the Leash

Today is our last day with Beau. 😔🐶😔 He’s come such a long way in the last 3 weeks!!! • 3 weeks ago he’d of been bolting up the road or trying to get to the pork shoulder I have on my smoker (sorry about the noise from that 😂) Now, after 3 weeks of training with me his family will be able to enjoy him more in their home, in public, and even Off-Leash. • Im gonna miss this guy. Hell, even my personal dogs are probably gonna miss him. He’s become part of the family these last few weeks. ❤️🐶❤️ I’ll see you soon Beau. Be good, stay handsome, and know that we’ll all be missing you here. • • • ATC Canine- Calm Confidence at both ends of the leash
