Teaching your pup to stop barking starts with smells !! Pups can't bark and smell at the same time, so high value treats to distract are a go to. Once distracted, you can begin to teach the Quiet Command shown below !!

As the weather warms and we makes plans to beat the heat - University of California Riverside is posting a Public Service Announcement. The liver fluke, a parasitic flatworm, has been found in western rivers for the first time. The worm can cause canine schistosomiasis, which impacts the intestines and liver of our pups and can be fatal.

Although not found in the Pacific Northwest at this time, for those of us traveling this summer - take note !!

Over the years, science has validated things every pup parent already knows - that some meaningful eye contact with our furry buds decreases blood pressure, improves moods, lowers cortisol and releases oxytocin.

But now, we know that they also help us focus, and help us relax as well 🐾

To many, the Iditarod race brings to mind images of Balto and the heroism of self-sacrifice for the greater good.

But after a moose attempted to use the raceway for survival and lost its life, animal activists are asking that we rethink the sport and evaluate the impact it has on not only the people, but the pups who make it all possible and the wildlife caught in the middle.

"There are no shortcuts in training humans. It takes time and patience."

Gain insight from a well-spoken four-legged friend on the most effective, compassionate ways to get your human to move past their stubbornness and onto cooperative team building.

Excerpt: "It is important to remember that if your human doesn’t do what you want them to do, you’ve gone too far too fast. So, you have to back up to the point where they have been successful and build from there. The only way your human will ever learn how to do anything reliably is to have them repeat the desired behavior over and over. As tedious as it may be, even once they’re trained, you have to repeat these drills from time to time."

CNN asks... Does your pup really need clothes? The short answer is, in some cases YES !!

Smaller, younger and older pups all benefit from a little extra warmth in the blistering cold some areas have been facing. Also, those with thinning coats and those with chronic illness like diabetes or osteoarthritis can benefit.

Moral of the story - If you're cold, they're cold. ❄️🌨❄️
