If you love queso and live music, wouldn't you love to be able to take your dog out with you? That's what we recently did with Theo to celebrate his puppy graduation!

He was the best boy! He made friends with virtually everyone's who walked past us, even a new doggie friend named Pearl.

Boudreaux is demonstrating the power of brain training to wear a puppy out. Did we train long-distance come when called? No. Agility? Also, no. Running or walking without pulling on the leash? Nope.

We taught Boudreaux to wait behind an open door and only go through if released to do so. Physically, it's not a demanding task. Cognitively, he looks like he feels like I do after I do my own taxes.

Physical exercise is important, and so is brain exercise. If your dog is acting exuberant, a good session of learning a new skill or practicing known ones can help take the edge off.

Happy Training!

Independence Day is just one month away. July 5th is one of the busiest days for shelters taking in lost dogs. Here are some tips to make sure your canine companion won't be one of them.

Ensure your dog is wearing a properly fitted collar with tags that include your contact information, especially on Fourth of July. If your dog gets a bath, replace that collar immediately.

Do NOT leave your dog unattended outside, even in a fenced area. Frightened dogs will absolutely dig or climb to attempt to escape fireworks.

When fireworks are expected, give your dog a safe place in your home with a MINIMUM of two barriers between them and the outdoors. The more doors and gates between your pup and the outside the better.

If you know your dog has noise phobias, call your vet NOW to discuss if medication may be appropriate.

Microchip your dog. If the collar and tag comes off... if they are accidentally outdoors when the booms start... if all of those barriers between your dog and the outdoors fail... and if the medication doesn't quite do the trick, a microchip can help get your pup returned to you.

Immediately after implantation, register the microchip with the manufacturer and provide them with your current contact information.

Keep the microchip registration database updated with your current address, phone number, and email.

Ask your veterinarian to scan your dog's microchip during routine checkups to ensure it's still functioning.

While the microchip is typically implanted between the shoulder blades, it's possible for it to migrate in rare instances.

And if you FIND a lost pup, check for a tag first. It's the fastest way to return a lost dog home. If there's no tag, most veterinary offices, animal shelters,and some police and fire stations have microchip scanners.

Miss Lara began puppy class learning how to go to a designated place and relax. In no time at all, her mom could say, "Lara, go to your place," and Lara would happily go station herself on her elevated bed.

This past week, we asked for two more "go to your _____" cues - go to your crate and go to your apartment. Her spay is scheduled for next month, and we wanted to ensure she is happy and relaxed during confinement while she recovers.

We also wanted her to go into both locations with only a verbal cue, so it was time to fade out the food lures. A clicker was tremendously successful.

Lara, congratulations. Lara's Mom, job well done!!!!

This is Abygail, and she loves attention. If you read a lot of pop-media, you might think she had some sort of personality disorder. "She wants attention from her favorite people? Oh, the horror!!!!" 😯

In reality, asking for attention is normal, healthy, and appropriate. Neonatal puppies get their mom's attention by vocalizing, jumping up, and nipping. When they move into their forever homes, they can continue asking for connection like this until we teach them a new and different way.

Abygail's recent puppy class focused on shifting from jumping up to ask for pets to stationing herself near her humans' feet and sitting... and probably making an adorable face. 🐶

Consistency is key, so if you want to try this at home and need guidance, let us know!

How do you divvy up the puppy training tasks in your home to ensure the workload isn't falling unfairly on one person's shoulders?

Libby's family devised an ingenious strategy! They make a chart for the week, and each family member uses a different colored pen or marker to track how many times each day they practice each skill. Why keep track? Because at the end of the week, the person with the most tick marks gets 💰 🤑 💸!

If you found a way to get everyone in the family involved with puppy training, let us know ⬇️. Maybe your idea will inspire and help someone else.
