We LOVE this post 💕🐕💕

New post on the blog from Suzanne: https://suzanneclothier.com/my-hypothesis-is/

"The better your observation skills, the more information you have. It's as simple as that. What you see - or don't - will inform everything you do with a dog, affect the choices you make, lead you to conclusions. Your timing depends entirely on your observation skills. Your ability to stay safe - and keep dogs and others safe - will depend on your observation skills."

Oooo, we are excited! We have finally touched up and scheduled our first 12-Week Online Course for "reactive" dogs:

DITCH THE LABEL/TURN THE PAGE: 12-Week Beginners Online Course for help with your “reactive” dog.

Does your dog have big emotions? Does your dog just have lots to say? About everything? Is your dog missing a dimmer switch? Or maybe just an off switch? Are you tired of all the labels, the embarrassment, the frustration, and even the fear of walking down your own neighborhood street? Then you have come to the right course.

This is where we ditch that “R” word and replace it with the “T” word: Transformation. And, while we are ditching things that do not serve, feel free to ditch the “walks” as well…For now. We’ve got games for you instead that will inspire you and that will build the confidence and connection needed at both ends of the lead for ultimate walking success.

Class begins Tuesday, May 9th at 6:30. For more details, check out our website at www.pups2pooches.com This is listed under Virtual Training and Behavior Options.

In addition, for those who really want to see change in their dog's reactivity (BTW, we hate this word), we recommend the newly added bundled package which includes this course and much much more. Check that out under Private Training Packages.

We love this new certificate for so many reasons !!!! A huge THANK YOU to Laura Donaldsonfor offering this profound webinar. This is a topic we have been keenly interested in for some time.

This is such a thoughtful and well-written article promptly written in response to the media hype over the recent research re: genetics and the % of how this does or does not show up in a dog's personality and behavior. Please read in order to get a more acurate and well rounded picture as to recent research and the ensuing media hype. Nature AND Nurture always and forever. Thank you, Kim Brophey and Marc Bekoff!

Understanding a dog requires nature and nurture to be considered.

This is a great article out of the AKC. It is a must read to the end of article. If everyone did this with their dogs, I believe we would see far fewer behavioral cases 🐾💕🐾

Do you run up to and hug or jump on every person you see on the street? Of course not. Similarly, it's important to teach our dogs not to try to engage wit

This is a must listen especially if you have a recent adoption from a rescue shelter. Even if you don’t and you have always bought your Puppy from a breeder, this is such valuable information from one of the dog training and behavior world’s most revered and respected names : Patricia McConnell , PhD. PTSD and rescue dogs plus thé importance of taking things very slow 💕🐕💕
