The most common problems are fear, especially fear of loud noises, and not doing what the guardian wants, such as not coming when called.

Most dogs hate the sound of fireworks. Unfortunately, there are many fireworks threats to dogs that aren't talked about a lot.

WE NEED FOSTER VOLUNTEERS!

Our kennels are overflowing with dogs, with more coming in all the time. If you have room in your heart and home to take in a dog on a temporary basis, we want to hear from you!

Visit kingcounty.gov/RASKCvolunteer to learn about becoming a foster. Not only will you be helping us reduce crowding in the shelter, but you also increase the number of animals' lives we can save, help us learn more about a dog's personality, and prepare adoptable dogs to live in a home environment.

We provide the food and veterinary care while fostering - you provide the love! Contact us today about becoming a foster hero!

Useful quick read article on how to tell an expert from an imitator. Most common signals in my experience (at least among dog trainers): use of jargon and popular "recipes."

What are the tell-tale signs *you* see that tell you someone is an expert or merely an imitator? Link in comments too!

Picture of dog in truck just because. . . He was not going to let us drive off without him! This is his face when we asked him to get out of the vehicle. He won the negotiation.

A beautiful "Greet & Retreat." Hard to tell here, but Marcel actually disengaged on his own (no prompting from dad) which was REALLY a win!

Just another BORING video of Marcel the pittie hanging out next to Boogie. Marcel is working on his dog reactivity and has not been this close to another dog in a very long time. With slow, controlled exposure and introductions, he seems to have made a friend 🙂

As a dog behaviourist, ruling out medical causes for behavioural changes and challenges is really important. By working in partnership with the dog's vet and other professionals involved in the dog's life as well as the owners can give a holistic picture of the behaviours that are being displayed. D...

This may look like a whole lot of nothing but it is actually a huge feat! Marcel the Pittie has been highly reactive on leash so him being able to be this close to another dog, in a public park, be chill and “not care” is a whole lot of something ❤️! Reactive training should not look like a dramatic show, it should look BORING. #reactivedogtraining #forcefreedogtraining #gooddog #pitbull #seattledogs
