I’m taking some time away for the holiday. I will be out of the office through Sun 12/29 and again on 12/31 & 1/1. Thank you for bearing with me. I will return your messages when I’m back in the office. May the holidays treat you gently.

There’s a dilemma here. I’ve been nominated in the training category. So has where I teach classes and lead the super fun dog nerd membership, PumpkinPups Pros. You can vote once per day per email and I’ll be super happy if you vote for either one of us! This is my first nomination. If PPDT wins it will be our 4th win and 3rd consecutive win. There’s a lot to celebrate here and we could use your support. Voting goes on through the end of the year.

I hung out with “Hamboni Tony” of last week. He was excited to see me then so concentrated working together. We ended up inside, recovering from a surprise we had in the backyard. He’s a slobbery, sweet gem!

We talk all the time about setting dogs up for success with training. That training is completely dependent on the client's ability to implement it. It is the job of the training professional to craft a plan that is doable even if it is not ideal. If the client then has success they will be more likely to continue and to be able to add components to the plan! That's how positive reinforcement works.

Don't yip or yell at puppies, y'all. Turns out it doesn't help.

My 4th of July tips made pretty by PumpkinPups Dog Training!

With Memorial Day weekend come extra chicken bones, hot dogs, and my dog’s favorite - bagels! - on the streets and in the parks. Time to get proactive and prepared for less frustration and no ER visits this holiday!

Looks like fun, right? I think it was fun for the human on the unicycle. You know who it wasn’t fun for? The dog. He wasn’t sure where to go and kept getting nearly bowled over by the cycle and had to dodge other humans in a confusing way as the person cycled through them making his own path. There are so many fun things to do with our dogs. Please pick things that your dog thinks is fun, too.

For all of you working on separation issues with your dogs, this is what success looked like for me today. I left Watson home alone for about 4.5 hours and I didn’t check the camera or have a back up plan for him. He seems to have slept almost the whole time I was gone. He was happy when I got home but relaxed in the other room while I washed my face and now he’s curled up like this. Our next goal is for him to be able to be alone long enough that I could do dinner AND a show, tonight was only the show. I’m hopeful!

I had some fantastic human company while I was on eclipse watch but on this account the canine company rules. This was the first time I got to meet Fiona and she was even more wonderful than I expected, and I expected that she’d be pretty spectacular. She is a super fun gal and I can’t wait to see her again!
