Blitz at Michigan Dog Training wants to know if you're a Kansas City Chief's fan or a Philadelphia Eagles fan. Let him know in the comments and why? But be nice, as Blitz is just a puppy with young ears.

Just so you know, Blitz doesn't have a favorite team. He's going to tackle who ever has the ball. : )

Congrats to Glynis and her dog Linda for successfully passing Michigan Dog Training's Board and Train program. She came largely for pulling hard to other dogs. Now she can walk right past them as well as other excellent obedience.

Bane has been with us just for a few days and is doing great in our Board and Train program. He is already able to hold a good place command (going up on a place board or raised dog bed) for a good period of time. He is learning to become a Service Dog. Great job Bane!

Meet Buddy! He is such a sweet guy but had a very unsocialized start to life growing up chained in the backyard 24/7. Natalie adopted him recently but he needs desensitization to men, learn to walk on a loose leash and other good manners. He likes to pull hard on the leash and he is a very strong boy.

Today was their first private lesson and Buddy hit it off with Michael, even requesting pets from him. And, he learned to walk beside Natalie, watching her intently rather than pulling. Buddy and Natalie are off to a great start in just their first private lesson!

Congrats to Tom and Carla and of course Daisy too. Daisy came into their lives after failing to pass a training program to be a Seeing Eye Dog due to her abundant energy. She loved to jump up on people and pulled hard on the leash.

Now Daisy graduating from MDT's Day Training program doesn't jump to greet people, walks on a loose leash calmly, goes to place for door greetings, doesn't run out ahead of her parents at doorways, and more. Great job Daisy!!!

If you know, our Lead Trainer, Cari Moore this might interest you. We normally don’t post gofundme pages but Cari and her family could really use your help And the GoFundMe page is in the first comment If you want to help.

from the gofundme page: …..”We took her (Lola) to the emergency vet on Sunday, 1/27, when she wasn’t getting any better. We discovered by X-rays that she has slight disc compression between T1-T2, T3-T4, and L6-L7, which has left her with paralysis in her rear end. In the vet's opinion, it’s Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD).

Lola is set to go to Dogwood Neurology in Farmington Hills tomorrow, 1/28, at noon for an MRI to determine what our next move is. It may be one surgery, or it may be multiple, as one is in her neck and one is near her tail.”…..

RECALLING YOUR DOG AWAY FROM FOOD - Dog Training Tip:
My friends at Voyager Dog Food company did a series of training tip videos with me. Here is one of me showing it's more important to be able to call your dog away from food than whether or not you can put your hand into the food bowl. Look in the comments for the dog training tip reel.
