Because no animal is helped by hate. No dog is saved through ego. And no progress is made by turning the pet world into a battlefield.

Or keep your shoes in a place the dogs can't get to.... solves problem.

If your dog steals your shoe…

Remember a couple of things. One is, it’s just a shoe and it’s totally replaceable… Your dog is not replaceable. Someday you will wish you could see your dog chewing on that shoe, but then it will be too late. Listen to me today.

The shoe must mean less to you than your dog, and to be angry about it simply doesn’t make sense. Just take the shoe away and accept the fact that the reason your dog chose that shoe is because he’s trying to be close to you. The shoe smells like you and it’s that odor that your dog is searching. It’s a normal reaction to be frustrated when a dog does this, but take a deep breath and remember what I’m telling you here.

Take the shoe give your dog a pat on the head and put the shoe away. If you make a big deal about it chances are you’ll make the situation worse… Or you’ll destroy the bond between you and your dog. Make sure your dog has something to chew on that he’s allowed to chew on because dogs like to chew especially young dogs and puppies.

Maybe go out and buy him a chew toy and when you see him chewing on your shoe, give him a chew toy and a pat on the head.

It’s only a shoe… Your dog is a million times more valuable than any shoe!

Turning Babies Into Monsters It seems so harmless. You get a dog, you’re wildly in love with them, and you desperately want them to be happy. You also deeply enjoy the feeling of giving them whatever it is that makes them happy. This could be affection, freedom, toys, cuddles, treats… This new dog has your heart, and all you want to do is give. It makes total sense. We’re heavily programmed to nurture, and like I said, it feels so good. But babying your dog—meaning there’s only nurturing and love, with zero discipline or accountability—is the most common path to creating a dysfunctional dog. This unhealthy approach gives dogs no clear guidance, no parameters for acceptable behavior, and encourages whatever impulsive, self-serving acts they might desire.- THE GOOD DOG WAY-LOVE THEM BY LEADING THEM VOL. 2 Sean O'shea

If you need a soul searching of owning a dog, training a dog or just a soul searching of yourself here is a great book to read.

Remember with all the snow coming to watch your dogs paws with salt. You may have to rinse their paws when they come in.

When it is so cold this week and you want to skip your walk or outside play time work their brain. Set aside a little time to work on sit, down and place. Increase durations of these commands. This help your relationship and makes them think. 💯

Part 4 of get to meet your trainer. The dogs I have have really helped heal my heart. Normally I love the seniors but somehow this group started as puppies. They are characters. Lzzy and Les are looking forward to the warmer weather so they can go to the local farmers market and summer concerts. They have made so many friends over the years there from their favorite police officers, concert goers and vendors. They are so well behaved we get compliments all the time. But I have also put the hard work into them. My pets bring me so much love and joy! That is a main reason why I love being a trainer! I love being able to help others have a better relationship with their dogs❤️

I saved two of my cats from this. It was scary, expensive and long. They have been cured 4 years😃

Part 3 of get to know your trainer. I foster dogs too. I enjoy helping save lives with training. I also enjoy saving lives off of the streets and out of high kill shelters. I volunteer when I can to help fundraising for rescues too. And picking up donations. I foster exclusively for one rescue but try to help out other rescues because there are so many animals in need that one rescue cannot do it alone 😢 💔
