Snow in Tallahassee?! 🌴❄️ Here at the Puppy Ladies, Hank, Gloria, Peaches and Valentine are experiencing their first snow. Wow! Hopefully a once in a lifetime event. 😂 Here are some tips for your pets this snow day in Tally. 1) Take shorter walks to prevent frostbite 2) wipe their paws with a warm cloth when they come inside. 3) Check the weather before you go outside..if it's too cold for you, it's probably too cold for them 4) bring out those mental exercise toys and eating bowls to expend some energy indoors.
Do you see this man walking two dogs with slack in the leashes? He’s walking slow but the dogs stay next to him and match his pace. Both dogs are active and like to run. However, because they are leash trained, they walk next to him with slack.
These dogs have NEVER been hurt with choke, prong or shock collars. They were taught with positive reinforcement.
You can do it too!
Many “trainers” tell you a solid recall can’t be taught without a shock collar or other correction.
These are my dogs. They are chasing squirrels across the pasture. They come when I use their special “recall” word. They come off squirrels, from a distance and immediately.
Why? Because I taught them it was fun to do so.
I have NEVER hurt them. I’ve never yelled or jerk their collars, I’ve never made them scared or anxious when teaching the recall (or any other behavior).
You do NOT have to hurt your dog to teach them anything!
Please, teach your dogs humanely and teach them it’s fun to do what you want them to do!!

Does your dog know his/her name? We teach the “name game” in our puppy classes. When you say their name the first time, your pup will respond. Check us out! We start pups at 8 weeks.
