Pinecrest Pack Walks start tomorrow (Friday), 9:00 am!

Want to join this great non-contact event?

Awesome! Join us!

Bring your (semi) well behaved dog with a 6’ leash to Pinecrest, and meet us in Central Park. If your dog is reactive…barks a bit, pulls on the leash, maybe a bit uncomfortable around other dogs, put a red bandana on them to let others know you need a little more space.

It’s a great opportunity to practice manners in a public space and leash skills with a trainer on hand.

Free online event!

Training Between the Ears is the best system I have ever witnessed, and I use their techniques every day.

Dogs that are the “fun police”, just outright grumpy, or energetic puppies with excited energy on greetings, can pose some serious questions on what to expect behavior wise when dogs interact.

Hope to see you there!

"My older dog keeps the puppy in line. It's natural!"

Is it though?

Or are we giving one dog a job they never applied for, maybe don't even want, or maybe were never really qualified for?

Here's the thing nobody talks about: most of what we call "corrections" between dogs aren't corrections at all. They're something else entirely.

And when we misread the situation? That's when things can go sideways fast.

Join us for this month's FREE Bark About Behavior where we're diving deep into the messy world of dog-to-dog dynamics. Fair warning: you might never look at your dogs the same way again – and you and your dogs will be better for it.
