This is hands down our favorite rescue! They operate with the utmost integrity! They love animals! And they love/care greatly about people! They are not about money (although they sure could use any dime you could spare); they are not political. They are about doing everything they humanly can do to save a kitty, dog or sometimes duck!!! They make absolute certain that every possible health issue is taken care of before adopting. They also are THE most phenomenal at matching dogs, cats with the right people and taking care of the humans! I have seen human hearts broken from enduring the application process with MANY other rescues. The Safe Cat Network is not only safe for animals, but hooomans tooo!

I felt like a pig in Clover today! A dozen dogs and pet parents have worked so diligently that they can take them anywhere!!! All can loose/leash walk beautifully pretty much anywhere! The owners know exactly how to walk past an unruly dog, down a busy city street, past bicycles, and strollers, and children! They hike in the woods with a large group of dogs peacefully! John Sielski and I are soooo proud of you all! Make no mistake ! These pet parents have worked diligently for over a year. Some are into their second year of training!! Lady , the cocker had been working and learning new skills for almost ten years!!! Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks!

We have been sharing this for years. So many times, people come in certain that they need to change their dog’s food. We hear, “We,ve tried EVERYTHING!”
Dryer sheets,fabric, softeners, strong detergents, harsh floor cleaners, carpet deodorizers, plug-ins, candles etc. wreak havoc on our dogs. We have seen horrible skin/ear issues totally resolved by eliminating these products and switching to simple non-toxic unscented ones.
Lawn chemicals can also be problematic. We’ve seen pretty badly burned feet for the sake of greener grass! Another big culprit , harder to change, is old carpet likely to be infested with dust mites. Our dogs spend their lives on our floors where the build-up of chemicals can truly assault their systems. I think all these things are way more likely to cause problems than chicken!

The average American family washes about eighty pounds of laundry A WEEK, and if you're using conventional products, the toxins from your laundry spill into the water🌊 and move into the air, both in and outside the home.😿

If you use dryer sheets, fabric softeners or even those popular fabric deodorizing sprays on your pet's bed and blankets, the "fresh scent" they leave on your laundry is actually a result of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acetone.😳 VOCs can cause skin irritation, respiratory issues, and organ damage. Researchers have identified 25 different VOCs emitted from dryer vents when these products are used.💨

But fear not! You can create non-toxic laundry options that are safe for you, your pets and the environment.🐶🐱🏡 Join us today for a live demonstration in the The Forever Dog Learning Lab at 5pm ET, where we'll show you how to make your own pet-safe laundry detergent, dryer sheets and fabric deodorizer. Say goodbye to harmful chemicals and hello to a healthier home for you and your beloveds.🙌 foreverdoglife.com

When a client comes in and says, “Have you ever heard of ____?” We listen! Thank you Felicia and Brinkley for bringing BowWow Labs to our attention! We researched the company thoroughly! We tested many of their products! They are absolutely fantastic! The Bow Wow Buddy holds bully sticks securely and makes them infinitely safer.

Bolt fell asleep during the brief little lecture part of class today! Actually, this is super delightful because he came to us three weeks ago at the recommendation of his vet pretty jacked up and having lots of potentially dangerous conflict with his two fox terrier siblings. His parents have been amazing to work because they of course love their dogs, but they have also been so teachable and willing to make changes! They are learning how to bettter manage their environment, to read their dogs’ calming signals (those 30 or so cues that dogs manifest to avoid a fight that most of us miss altogether or misinterpret) and to set boundaries and show benevolent leadership so that their dogs actually feel more secure in their pack. Bolty is doing fabulous and loves learning and pleasing his mom and dad!!!!

Spring is coming and you want to get out and enjoy walking with your dog, but you hate being dragged. As we’ve said before, there really is no magic collar or harness that will make your dog stop pulling. Loose-leash walking is a dance of timing and consistency. We are excited to offer a mini course (3 classes) this spring, Saturtdays April 6, 13, & 20 at 3:00. If you have participated in a group class with us, you are eligible for this refresher course. Please call Whoodles 484-671-2571 to reserve your spot or for further information.

Patience is a virtue! I don’t know who first said that, but it’s as true with dog training as it is in life! Having children, teaching school, saving a little money for something special, and being married for almost 40 years have all helped me to develop at least a little bit of patience. I started to play the flute five years ago. I could barely make a sound, and my counting was abysmal. My poor teacher literally sat on the floor and physically held my foot and tapped it for me. You’d think I’d be embarrassed, but my desire to learn was far greater. I can play Chopin, Bach and Mozart now! Mind you, I play nothing perfectly…that’s the goal to play a beautiful piece perfectly! I suppose it will take another five years. Any new skill takes time, patience, consistency, and most of the time a good teacher or coach. My flute teacher is amazing. When it comes to dogs, I like to think about how people learn and how long it takes to learn something. People learn best when they feel safe and encouraged and rewarded, but it still takes lots of time. Dogs too! A surgeon will go to school for 12-15 years beyond high school. An Olympian will dedicate her life to her sport. Electricians, plumbers, and mechanics are worth their weight in gold. We pay hundreds of dollars to hear a favorite musician who has spent thousands of hours practicing. It takers a good three years to potty-train kids. It takes almost 20 years to teach our children good manners…and yet…and yet… though we love our dogs, our expectations are often quite unrealistic. I think it’s super helpful to emphasize that all the human experts listed above learned from another human who most likely spoke the same language! Dogs are other beings. We do not speak the same language. Training a good dog takes time, patience, consistency, benevolent leadership, and most of the time, a good trainer who will walk beside us. Ironically, we can learn to speak the “same”language, and most dogs, with the right encouragement can become model citizens in less than two years. Good dogs don’t happen in a matter of weeks. If my flute teacher shocked me every time I was off beat, I’d have bitten her, and I’d be burnt to a crisp.

Been saying this for ten years.

🚨Unsafe for human consumption but still allowed in your pet’s food products!

California has become the first state to ban 4 food additives linked to cancer and other diseases.❌ The California Food Safety Act has outlawed brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben, and red dye no. 3 from being added to foods. Illinois and New York are following with similar bills, but have added titanium dioxide, a fifth unsafe food additive, to the list.

Lawmakers acknowledge that these chemicals pose a serious health risk, but the bill only bans the use of these additives in food and beverages for human consumption - but not in pet products.🤯😡

These cancer-causing, endocrine-disrupting, DNA-damaging chemicals have no place in our dogs’ and cats’ food!!

So what do you do when it seems like every label you read lists one (or more) of these disease-causing chemicals in pet foods and treats? 😱

We’ve got you covered 🙌 In Forever Dog LIFE, you’ll find gems like Medication Marbles and Sneaky Easy Pill Pouches - additive-free DIY versions of popular (but toxic) treats! And, of course, you’ll also find loads of other treats, toppers, and over 30 complete and balanced meals for your beloveds - with no unsafe food additives in sight.

Let’s be honest! Very few people need a trainer to teach their dog to sit! Most of us have difficulty with the behavioral issues like jumping up, mouthiess, potty-training, reactivity, and loose-leash walking! These problems are our specialty! We have worked very hard to develop non-aversive methods to deal with these behaviors! Without special gadgets, collars, or harnesses … no shocking or anything unkind. See Freya, a young ginormous Grest Dane!

Here’s the truth! No special collar, harness or gadget will make your dog stop pulling on the leash! Sometimes they “work” at first, but they tend to have a shelf-life, and your dog ultimately reverts back to pulling.
Loose-leash walking is a dance. Sometimes I even compare it to pairs figure skating. To succeed, you must develop connection, focus and timing. It is also helpful to really love walking, but to despise being dragged! Let us teach you how to dance with your dog so you can truly enjoy walking together! Give us a call 484-671-2571!

I love our groomers! Their skill, kindness, patience and gentleness are unbeatable. It is a pleasure for me to work alongside of them every day knowing and trusting that they never cut corners, that every single dog leaves the salon groomed as a precisely as he will allow. I’m grateful that the girls take such pride in their art and that they try so hard to achieve what owners want. Often times this level of commitment takes a great deal of time because there are many coat types that tangle and mat easily. It would be easier to simply shave the dog down. But, to gently and humanely detangle takes enormous time.
Dogs learn to be groomed, and it takes a very special love to kindly acclimate a dog to the process, so the groomers share honestly with owners about how that process is progressing. Owners know that when we say, “Annie was wonderful; she almost fell asleep and gave me kisses,” that it’s true!
Because we spend considerable time interacting with each dog examining every inch of their body, we become keenly aware of behavioral and physical changes. We catch many issues which may require veterinary intervention!
We love our clients and their dogs immensely; we never take for granted that you have entrusted us with their care and we are thankful for the love and appreciation you express to us.
Please enjoy photos of some our recent grooms!
