There are many benefits to teaching your dog to down. Here are a few:

* It can help to prevent jumping. When your dog is in a down position, it is much less likely to jump up on people or other animals. This can be helpful for both safety and politeness.

* Reduced stress and anxiety. For some dogs, the down position can be a calming and relaxing place to be. This can be helpful for dogs who are feeling stressed or anxious.

* It can make grooming easier. When your dog is in a down position, it is much easier to brush them, trim their nails, or give them a bath. This can save you time and frustration.

Teaching your dog to down is a simple but effective way to improve their behavior and make your life easier. If you're not sure where to start, give us a call, we can help, 417-825-7810.

Happy Mother's Day to All the Dog Moms Out There!

Mother's Day is a time to celebrate all the wonderful mothers in our lives, and that includes dog moms! Dog moms are the ones who take care of their furry babies, train them, and love them unconditionally. They are truly the best moms there are.

If you're a dog mom, you know that training your dog can be a challenge, but it's also one of the most rewarding experiences. Watching your dog learn and grow is an amazing feeling, and it's all thanks to your patience and dedication.

Here are a couple of tips for training your dog on Mother's Day:

Be patient and consistent. Training a dog takes time and patience. Don't get discouraged if your dog doesn't learn a command right away. Just keep practicing and they'll eventually get it.

Make it fun. Training should be fun for both you and your dog. If your dog is not having fun, they're less likely to want to learn. Try to make training sessions short and engaging, and use positive reinforcement, like treats or praise, to reward your dog for good behavior.

With a little patience and consistency, you can train your dog to be a well-behaved member of the family.

Preparing Your Home for Your New Dog

Before you bring your new dog home, you should consider pet-proofing your house, such as putting up baby gates, escape-proofing the backyard, making sure that there is nothing harmful lying around that your dog can put in their mouth... the list goes on and on.

You'll also need supplies such as leashes and collars, toys, food, food bowls and treats--and don't forget about bedding! Dogs love their own blankets just as much as humans do.

It also helps to set up some rules for everyone in the house to follow. Who will walk your dog and when? How often will you feed your dog and when? Will your dog be allowed on the furniture? Where will they sleep at night? Are there any rooms in the house that are off-limits?

The first few weeks are quite important and can feel overwhelming. There are some big changes and adjustments for both you and your pooch. If you need some help give us a call, 417-825-7810.

Are you very active?

Do you have other dogs or animals in your household?
Some rescue dogs may have a previous history of living with other dogs and/or cats. Be sure to ask.

The Benefits of Adopting a Dog

Adopting a dog is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have. Dogs are loyal, playful and loving companions who will happily spend their days by your side. They provide unconditional love and friendship in return for nothing more than food and shelter--and they're great at keeping you active!

Adopting a dog also teaches responsibility: if someone else depends on you to take care of them, then it's important that you do so as best as possible. This includes feeding them regularly (but not too much), brushing their fur regularly (but not too hard) and making sure they get enough exercise (but not too much). A new pet owner may need some guidance at first but soon learns how easy it is once he/she gets into the routine!

What is crate training and what are its benefits?

Crate training is a method of teaching dogs to become familiar and comfortable with their crate, while also helping them learn basic house rules. It is an effective way of potty training, as well as teaching dogs to stay in one place when left alone. Crate training also helps build trust between the dog and its owner, making it easier for both parties to interact. Crate training can provide a variety of benefits such as reducing anxiety and stress levels, promoting good behavior and preventing destructive behaviors. Additionally, it can help keep your home clean by discouraging your dog from chewing on furniture or other items in the house.
