🐕‍🦺 WHAT DOES "HEEL" MEAN⁉️

📖 Heel is a formal obedience cue for a dog to stay at your left side, almost right on your left leg, maintain eye contact with you at all times & follow your cues while walking with your pace, regardless of speed (dog must slow you when you slow, speed up when you do, etc.). The dog must also immediately sit when the owner comes to a halt.

🚫🚶🏻‍♀️🐕 As a pet owner that doesn't do competitive dog obedience, sport, or utility, you never need to teach your dog heel.
——

AS A PET DOG TRAINER I TEACH HOW TO . . .

🔸 get your dog to walk on a loose leash

🔸 have a dog that doesn't pull on leash

🔸 walk your dog so that everyone is comfortable
——

LOOSE LEASH WALKING SHOULD LOOK LIKE . . .

🐕‍🦺 A dog that is on a loose leash, no tension

😁 A walk that is enjoyable without yanking & corrections

🌸 A walk that allows a dog to sniff but not pull

It’s National Dog Day! Show us your pups!

These are a couple of our older ladies in our pack. Mama Bea (~10 yrs, white pittie) and Flossy (~12 yrs, brown shih tzu) couldn’t be more different but somehow they found a way to be buddies, nonetheless. We can learn a lot from dogs.

We will be closed from August 15-18 so we can visit our friends at Community Animal Rescue & Adoption - CARA in Jackson MS and deliver all the wonderful donations we have received from you! In addition to what is in the photo, we have $325 cash in hand and over $150 raised on the fundraising link we shared.

We also received several items for three local dogs we help with. I know for sure their moms also appreciate you! We are so grateful for your support!

I can’t forget the kitty toys too! Those will be going to our friends locally at Cattyshack.

We will be posting some videos and photos of our visit to CARA so you can see some of the beautiful pups receiving these gifts.

This is an important reminder. In order to keep all of our guests safe, we require these vaccines as well as the state mandated Rabies vax.
