Fleas and ticks can be present year-round! Prevention is easier than treatment! Although many name-brand preventatives are very expensive, most are also available as generics. Talk to your vet about what kind of preventative is right for your pet!!

When someone tells me they "thought the dogs were fine, then with no warning, they just attacked!!!" I tend to focus on body language and situational awareness. The top right drawing is an excellent depiction of a confrontation brewing. Never try to PULL two dogs apart when they are standing like this, it will absolutely trigger a reactive response. Instead, call their attention to you and ask them to do something like "come" or "sit". Being aware of confrontational body language is crucial to keeping our dogs safe!

Spotlight on our favorite products!!! (not a sponsored post)
We LOVE PetSafe's Easy Walk Harnesses for helping give owners a humane and ethical way of gaining a little leverage against a power-puller. While equipment won't teach your dog what they are SUPPOSED to do on a walk (that's your job BTW), these can certainly help keep everyone safe while learning! Call us today and schedule an evaluation to learn how to teach a "loose leash" walk!!

The Easy Walk Harness is a no-pull dog harness that helps stop pulling and teaches him better leash manners. The Easy Walk Harness has been loved and trusted by millions of pet parents and trainers since 2004 to help improve walks around the world.

The Salvation Army holds a dear spot in my heart. My great-grandfather fell on hard times as a young man during the great depression. Homeless, freezing and starving, they took him in. He got married,
had three daughters (one of which was my grandmother) and lived to be 92 years old, thanks to them! Never underestimate the effect of an act of kindness!

Targeting

Targeting (or the "touch" cue") is the launching point for many different behaviors such as "where is it?" "pick it up" and "go there"

Happy #NationalServiceDogMonth

Dog beach!!

A great opportunity to utilize distraction training for a "come"!!

Trash can basketball is hard without hands 🐾 😅

Mrs Charlie had a very traumatic past experience with another dog. She learned to bark and snap at any dog she saw. Yesterday was her first time meeting sweet Marshall, and we got her within 6 feet of him without triggering a fear response! (Using only positive methods!)

Retrieving Medications

Getting ready to help when mom has her surgery in the next few months! 🥰
