Passing other dogs, or being passed, can be a challenge for some. The students in my CGC Prep class have all taken multiple classes and their dedication to training with their dogs shows!

“Help! My puppy won’t go for a walk! He goes like three steps and then he stops and sniffs or won’t move, then he bites the leash. What's wrong with my puppy?”

Had the pleasure of training with this little guy and his humans today. He thought learning the Drop It game was fun!

Thank goodness for Healthy Paws Pet Insurance! Yes, I'm happily endorsing them.
No annual or lifetime limits. They have covered 80% of every medical issue my dogs have had, less deductible and veterinarian fee. They've covered the cardiologist charges for echocardiograms, ecg's, holter monitor (heart) and even the cardiac ablation procedure on our boxer Tilly. I haven't had to cherry pick what care she gets due to cost.
You may want to consider insurance if you know your dog is predisposed to genetic or hereditary illnesses/conditions

Dog wellness plans provide money for preventative care to keep your dog healthy. Pet insurance covers acute or emergency care.

A great article about hugging dogs

Most show signs of stress in hugs; many try to bite.
