It is so important that puppies play with all sorts of different dogs before 16 weeks of age and meet all types of adults and children as well. This helps them generalize that these people and other dogs are safe and enjoyable and typically prevents fear and dog reactivity. Choose very safe places until they are fully vaccinated and puppy classes should be safe places . Our Pupriety puppy classes are always clean and disinfected and puppies need to have their first vaccines in order to attend. Contact us for more information.

Important info

NO UNWANTED LITTERS, we all agree with that goal; it's the surgical technique that should be reevaluated. Hysterectomy and vasectomy can be performed as early as 8 weeks of age with no negative side effects, rendering dogs sterile AND hormonally balanced.

Many people contact us when they are upset and even angry because their dog or cat chewed something they didn’t want damaged. Prevention is best! Puppy and kitten proof your home. Walk through each room your pet can access and look for everything and anything they might enjoy chewing. When I have a young puppy I actually crawl around the floor checking for wires , buttons and coins that may have found their way under furniture. Put everything away immediately like shoes and children’s toys- remote controls and cell phones, socks etc. your home will look more organized and your pets and belongings will be safe!

Many people have called this winter because their dog has pulled them down when walked. The ice has contributed to some falls. We do not use choke, prong or electric collars and do use a variety of more humane and dog friendly equipment designed to minimize and prevent pulling . We choose equipment for each dog and handler based on a number of things. Our Pupriety classes are for puppies to prepare them for the next level and all of our other classes are typically limited to 3-5 dogs. Contact us if you need help with leash pulling!

We see many clients whose family is in conflict over the family dog or who experience frustration when choosing a dog. The idea is for everyone to be on the same page when choosing a dog and age, male or female, size, appearance and goals are things to consider. Also what family members are doing what? We see arguments regarding everything from who is feeding, scooping the yard, walking etc. A friend who is a child psychologist wanted me to remind people that a child cannot be fully responsible for taking care of a pet until they are old enough to take care of themselves and they also need to have the interest. We want dogs and every pet to stay in their home and be happy and we want all family members to be happy too!

The first thing we tell feline clients whose cats are urinating outside of the box is to immediately take their cat to their veterinarian to rule out urinary tract problems and anything else that could cause or contribute to the issue. The second thing we tell clients after the vet rules out problems is to contact us!

We want to help with behavior problems and remember that any sudden change in behavior could be indicative of a medical issue. This is why we ask that you visit your veterinarian first to rule out medical issues!

People often ask what is the best way to give a dog a pill. We like to use 3 balla of something yummy and soft like cream cheese or Velveeta and put the pill in the middle ball- give the first one and the dog will be excited to get the next one and then quickly give the third one. Also do this without medication once or twice a week for life to create a positive association that will be remembered when you need it!
