Hey there fellow puppy parents! 🐶 We know those razer sharp puppy teeth HURT! But understanding why they're biting is crucial to reduce the frequency of those painful nips. Check out this article for great tips on getting through the teething stage and keeping your sanity intact!

I am firmly convinced that the evolutionary process made puppies adorable so that we would overlook the fact that their mouths are full of razor blades—blades they do not hesitate to put to frequent use. Nipping and chewing rank high on the puppy parenting complaint list, and are symptoms of teeth...

🐾 Meet Chips, the adorable little pup at the bottom of the photo, who has been working hard to overcome his leash reactivity! 🌟 After just six sessions with Sam, Chips was able to stay calm in the presence of another dog across the street. His family has been doing an amazing job with their homework 🐶 It's amazing what can be achieved with compassion and empathy for both the dog and their humans!

It’s not a secret.

Our local shelters are above critical capacity on a daily basis. All it takes is following shelters in the Carolinas and you’ll see the hundreds of dogs every week that are at risk of being euthanized due to overcrowding.

Simply put, there aren’t enough homes, adopters, or fosters to control this ongoing crisis and it’s only getting worse.

As an organization we recognize the need for prevention.

Preventing suffering.
Preventing neglect.
Preventing disease.
Preventing homelessness.

We have, and will always, continue to help the animals in need who are right here in front of us, but we are steadfast in our belief that the best way we can help is to prevent tragedy before it starts. Without a clear focus on the root cause of the problem, the vicious cycle only repeats itself.

The never-ending exhaustion of unwanted puppies and kittens growing up in shelters, only to be euthanized due to space constraints in our immediate area is out of control. On top of that, irresponsible pet owners breeding their animals then selling or giving them away on facebook, at flea markets, or craigslist only accelerates the risk of them ending up caged, on chains, rehomed, dying of disease, or being dumped or abandoned when they get bigger.

We cannot rescue our way out of this crisis.
Therefore, we are expanding our spay & neuter program and we invite you to spread this message far and wide!

The health benefits are clear – female pets will live a longer healthier life. Spaying prevents uterine infections and decreases the incidence of mammary tumors (cancer). Neutering your male pet prevents testicular cancer, prostate problems, and some behavioral issues like hu***ng, aggression, and urine marking. Consulting with many veterinarians in shelter medicine, outside of giant breeds, there is no medical reason to delay spay/neuter past six months of age. It is our community’s obligation to prevent needless suffering and it is imperative eliminate the risk of accidental litters.

To be eligible for the program, you agree to:
-transport your animal(s) to & from their appointment at one of our participating vet clinics on the day of your scheduled appointment
-follow the presurgical instructions provided ahead of your appointment
-provide a safe, dry, clean, temperature controlled, indoor space for the 2-3 day recovery window following the procedure.

To request your FREE spay/neuter surgery fill out this online form: https://fs26.formsite.com/htrnp/lw9h6wpkgt/index?fbclid=IwAR26t1IhfqmyrCJJlXuEaqa0MkjIQOPbzS7NTbueJJ59WenlxyoSgaSxN6Q_aem_ARcY3i35THkFJK8lD1Hx8N2-Lk0jBtc35ptEo22wg5ZrmDXu3bgHdXuiyLC2MnjyNzzbR-LLOaBTKZbMOzYGBKWM

If you or someone you know is from a veterinary clinic who would like to join our efforts, please message us for more information on how to be listed as a participating clinic. We look forward to speaking with you!

🐾🎉 Tomorrow is National Puppy Day and we couldn't be more excited to celebrate all the cute and cuddly pups in the Indian Trail Dog Training Family!

🐶 This is Gus, our(Cheryl) six and a half month old Golden Retriever who steals our hearts with his adorable face and playful personality. ❤️🐕 He is learning all his basic obedience cues because when he grows up he wants to be a service dog. His favorite tricks are giving adorable hugs, pivoting on a platform and fetching anything he can fit in his mouth.

🐾 Did you know that behind those big paws of his lies a legacy to uphold? His daddy is a Grand Champion who wowed everyone at Westminster in 2021! 🏆 Looks like he's got some big shoes (or should we say paws?) to fill, but we know he's up for the challenge!
