#dogsinspring - Spring is a great time to teach your dog some new tricks.
Dogs love to stay busy, and a dog with nothing to do can sometimes "find" something to do.
Dogs look forward to training, and the mental stimulation keeps their brains stimulated, and involves you in their fun!

Meet Roo
#meetthedogs Monday - Roo is a 2-year-old, large, energetic golden doodle who does not have leash-walking skills.
He was strong enough and determined enough to pull his owner, Sandra, down the street. It wasn’t fun, and safety was an issue.

Milo, Drop it.
#MeettheDog Monday - Milo is a Cavapoo who would resource guard everything – toys, food, treats… and especially random objects like socks or paper towel rolls.
Milo is small, but has a full mouth of teeth, and would die before he would give up a treasured possession.

Fred! Cheese!
#FunwithFred Friday - For those of you following Fred's frenetic funventures, we've been working on calling him in from the yard. Now when Fred is in the yard, it's because he has important business, like sniffing the boundaries, digging a hole, looking for squirrels, or peeing on everything. So the response from Fred when Caitlin or Brian would call him would be, "not now, I'm busy." If he was in the far corner of the yard, the response would be, "I can't HEAR you..." and just continue sniffing.
So, we decided to start over... Visit the blog to find out what helped Fred.

Fun with Fred Friday - Cat
#FunwithFred Friday - The last time we saw Fred featured, he was learning to run to his bed and settle in when somebody knocked at the door.
Our next project was to keep Fred from going over threshold (basically losing his mind) and going after Oliver - Caitlin and Brian’s cat – whenever he saw him. Even through a gated doorway at a distance, Fred would lunge and bark. It seemed like sometimes Oliver would lie on the steps and taunt Fred…

#MeettheDogsMonday - Fred is a young, high-energy border collie mix who is VERY smart – but sometimes doesn’t take the time to think. He just reacts (as border collies are bred to do). His issues were pulling on the leash on walks, chasing the cats who live with him, reliable recall from out in the yard, and reactivity at the front door when guests would knock. It was frustrating for his owners, Caitlin and Brian.

#MeettheDogs Monday - Checkers the Appenzeller would get so excited about going for a walk, that he would leap twice his body length into the air, and then dash out the door as soon as it opened - pulling his human out, and then down the driveway. Now Wikipedia characterizes Appenzellers - a dog bred to herd cattle and guard property - as lively, high-spirited, athletic, and suspicious of strangers. I knew we would either have to help Checkers learn some patience and manners… or find him some cattle to herd.

Swayze the Samoyed needed help. He was very reactive on walks, and when he saw another dog - even at a distance - he would bark and lunge and lose control, trying to get to the strange dog. To learn more about how I helped him, read the blog post.
