Social media is the absolute worst place to attempt having a reasonable discussion about dog training topics (or any topic) where there might be disagreement. In Part 1, I discuss the use of the terms, "pain, fear, and intimidation" in a specific context and how they have been used to advance an agenda.

BEWARE OF "PAIN, FEAR, AND INTIMIDATION" STATEMENTS.

Be a responsible dog owner. If you have your dog off-leash in an area not designated as such, here is the off-leash etiquette:

1) Train your dog to listen to you in those environments with distractions such as people and other dogs. If they don't listen or are "pretty good," keep them on a leash.

2) Be courteous to others, with or without dogs. Not all people like dogs, and some dogs don't like other dogs. This can be a very bad situation if a loose dog runs up to another, not so friendly dog.

3) My dogs are not on walks to greet you, greet your dog(s), or play with your dog(s). They are out to get exercise and engage with me. It is disrespectful for you to let your dog do otherwise, and to assume it is or should be OK with me.

That is all.

New and different sights, sounds, surfaces, and smells are all part of a puppy's socialization. A Halloween display at Lowes provides some novel sights and sounds.

Some insider information on Nixie's RV trips...

We take many RV trips during the year and our dogs go with us. There is no exception for Nixie, the newest member of our travel group. But she is not yet fully vaccinated, so we need to take extra precautions to keep her...

The journey begins...

On June 1, 2023 we had to say good bye to Fiona, our fourteen year old labradoodle (by DNA testing). She was a very sweet dog, had a great temperament, and was perfect as a therapy dog. It took over a year before I star...

Training and Fun for You and Your Dog!

Does you dog like to fetch? Want to give it a try for free? Give us a call to schedule and appointment. This is not a sanctioned AKC event. We're just giving you and your dog an opportunity to have a test drive on a fetch area we have set up.

Our mission is to help dog owners and their canine companions achieve a relational sweet-spot together.
