What a fun crowd today! We had to tell Ro that he was "among the little people now." Everyone was so good and we had so much fun.

"The average inbreeding based on genetic analysis across 227 breeds was close to 25%, or the equivalent of sharing the same genetic material with a full sibling."

This is horrible. For the past 200 or so years, we've been doing so much damage to dogs, in the name of Purebred. Guess what, Purebred in any other theater would be called 'In**ed'. Linebreeding, is Inbreeding, plain and simple

Even if we stopped this horrible practice, in the name of getting dogs that all look alike, it's going to take a thousand years or more to fix what we have done.

A good read, as are several other studies like this, done over the past few years, and something to consider when seeking that Purebred dog.

UC Davis study shows most dogs are highly in**ed, which affects health.

Another beautiful day with all of pups!

Oakley the Shepard is always a pleasure to spend time with. He's not ready yet for a yard full of dogs, but we have special time together during the day to keep him active and having fun.

Oliver the Cockapoo ran 300 miles in the yard today and never touched the ground.

Our bubbly buddy Bubbles the Pug had a lot of fun today wrestling with Oliver, his favorite other boy, and playing in the yard with all the little dogs and Ro.

Emma the St. Bernard is an absolute joy to watch covering all of the other dogs in Emma Frosting. 🤣Man that girl can slobber! She and Ro are inseparable. It's so cute to watch them play together and he is so giving. Love my good boy.

Later in the day I got to work with Meshach, a young Rottweiler. Poor guy had surgery on his eyes a few weeks ago, but he's recovering well and did some great work today on learning that he gets a lot more attention if he doesn't jump on people. His Dad did a great job at rewarding his good behaviors with a ton of praise and love and he ate that special attention up. Such a sweet young man and deserving of all the love.

Wonderful long day today for the pups. (and me lol) Oliver the Cavapoo had a great time running with his friends and identifying as a crazy person 🤣

Emma the tiny St. Bernard puppy did some nice training today as well as getting to play with her favorite boy Ro. We worked on some nice Sit/Stay today and threw in a gate opening to the outside world and she nailed it. Her leash skills are less than desirable, but by the end of the walk, she was doing very nicely, and she even attracted the attention of a couple of deputies who pulled over just to say Hi to her. She sat and waited nice and earned all of their love. She did jump up on one, but he started it. 🤣

Oakly the Shepard is such a sweet guy. Such an amazing transformation, thanks largely in part to the hard work his humans did with him and continue to do. I'm excited to spend the week with such a good boy, and work on some of his training on leash, with other dogs and meeting new people. Going from hundreds of mgs of tranquilizers and anti-psychotics to who he is now, going from a potential threat simply because of the fear he was holding onto, to being a giant snuggle bear who is so full of love, almost brings a tear to the eye at the major rehauling of his state of being that he went through, learning to love and trust again. ❤️

We see it far too often, even with all of the red flags. It's always heartbreaking and demoralizing.

If you can't go to the actual Breeder location and see the state of the living conditions or if they ask you to meet them in some random parking lot, run, don't walk away.

Pet Stores, DO NOT make it any better. I've seen more than my share of Pet Stores that claim their dogs are from local breeders, only to see their papers and the dog is from a known Puppy Mill halfway across the country.

The only way to stop it, is to stop filling their pockets and let those breeders die off.

Our dogs deserve better than to be mistreated, over bred, stuck in inbreeding situations and a life of psychological turmoil. We can do better.,

Good! We need more of people being held responsible for animal cruelty. I'm so happy this guy was found safe and the monster that left him to die is being held accountable.

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

Amid the chaos brought by Hurricane Milton, Florida Highway Patrol troopers made a startling discovery along Interstate 75 near Tampa. A young white dog, now named Trooper, had been left tied to a fence, chest-deep in floodwaters, as the Category 4 storm approached.

We had an amazingly lovely day yesterday at Vaughan House Micro-Weddings. If you have not seen this place, you're missing out. It's amazing!

We worked a beautiful wedding yesterday, as Pet Attendants, for a beautiful couple and their wonderful dogs. We took care of them, walked them down the aisle and set them up for wedding photos. They were both champs, if not a little excited. Yes, Apollo, I mean you. 😂

We did add this service to our repertoire a couple of months ago, along with adding the new kennels for boarding. We'd love to help you include your pets in your wedding too! We have a few different flexible packages to fit any need.

BEX, Black Lab/Boxer mix on her 2nd Day of learning to exist with others. Wonderful breakthroughs today! We just had to have the right dog, at the right time and Ro is always a stellar helper. My hopes are to have her 100% off leash with other, and not making everyone else mad, within the next couple of visits. She's absolutely on the right path now.

Bex was recently adopted, and while she needs some good training, she needs to learn to relax around new people and dogs. She really made a big change today,...

Most of you have heard about this from me. I always talk about this photo or another like it, and how, in what the dog feels might be a chaotic situation, or just to feel calmer, clenching something in the mouth can help relieve some of that stress. In dogs that might be all over the place with stress and exhibiting anxiety, and/or even holding the leash in their mouth, having a toy, a tug rope or pouch, or even a stick, can make the dog much calmer in a strange or chaotic space.

Is your Labrador a little in the tubby side? It might not be their fault. A new study shows that 1 in 4 Labradors have a genetic mutation that not only makes them think that they are hungry more, but also want less exercise, because "I'm hungry."

Be sure to share this with all of your Labrador friends!

One in four Labrador retrievers carries a gene that tricks their brain into thinking they’re starving

What a nice long 4th weekend with these three. We had a great time during their stay, getting to meet some of our dogs and enjoying the pool at every opportunity.

We now have open space for Boarding and Board &Train clients.

*Please be aware that all Boarding dogs will require a copy of vaccine records and a prior Meet & Greet with us, before Boarding.

Having fun with a Husky puppy boarding for the week.

Sweet little Ginny's second session working 'Sit' and 'Down' cues. 5 month old Cav Bichon mix, super smart, and an absolute joy to have been able to work with.

I couldn't be happier for this big guy. Just a couple of months ago, he was a hot mess. Confused, sad and full of antidepressants. His new family has done such amazing work with the life skills we taught them, to be able to move him into a new family and be at peace. He's now 100% drug free and so much happier and comfortable compared to Day 1 & 2 where he postured and yelled at me to leave. He's such a good guy and I'm so proud of his new parents and all the hard work they put in to get him to this place. ❤️

Little man had a long day or playing and running and more playing. Winding down for the night with his babies. Such a wonderful and adorable little guest. #dogdayspetservices #dogdayspetservicesllc #dogtraining #dogtrainers #dogtrainer #dogtrainerlife #minishnauzer #minishnauzersofinstagram #lynchburgvirginia #lynchburgdogtrainer #lynchburgdogtrainers #lynchburg #lynchburgva

I bought some video editing software and enjoying playing with it, to try to make some better content. This is Corduroy, one of our Board & Train dogs at the moment, learning to Dog with Arwen. She's a good teacher of fair play, cut off signals and not afraid to gently correct rude behaviors. Enjoy! There are some really sweet moments.

Our Board & Train had the chance to meet an old friend of ours, who is a couple of months older, and was here for leash reactivity problems. He did really well with our Ro, and then I switched to the puppy, and we had to start at 0 again. He picked up my protocols and was very with me, toward the end of the session. As a reward, I allowed him to go play. They met wonderfully at the gate. The Doodle (Boarder) has been playing with Ro (Pit) and Awren (Collis/Boxer) for a few days now, learning how to...speak dog, really, from older dogs. I love how he is trying to goad Ollie into a game of chase. He loves to run! I see a little Arwen and Ro in his actions and "words". #dogdayspetservices #dogdayspetservicesllc #dogtraining #dogtrainers #dogtrainer #dogtrainerlife #beaglemix #beaglemixofinstagram #beaglemixesofinstagram #goldendoodles #goldendoodlesofinstagram #goldendoodlestyle #goldendoodle #goldendoodlelife #goldendoodlelove #goldendoodlesofinstagram #lynchburgvirginia #lynchburgdogtrainer #lynchburgdogtrainers #lynchburg #lynchburgdogtraining #lynchburgva

A lot has changed in the past 50 years, and one huge thing that has effected a lot of dogs, is that we are not out with them, as much as we have been, in years past. Stay with them and keep them safe. Not only is it safer, but spending time with your dog builds a better relationship and gives you much more opportunity to train wanted behaviors. #dogdayspetservices #dogdayspetservicesllc #dogtrainer #dogtraining #dogtrainers #dogtrainerlife #dogsafety #dogsafetytips #dogsafety101 #lynchburgvirginia #lynchburgdogtrainer #lynchburgdogtrainers #lynchburg #lynchburgdogtraining #lynchburgva

Kobe took part in our Puppy Program 2 weeks ago. His Mom was doing an amazing job with him, even before we showed up. He's staying for the day and overnight. This afternoon, we worked with a Corgi who gets a little too excited when he sees other dogs, and Kobe was able to take part as a learning opportunity as well. The Corgi learned a lot today, and Kobe was a champ. He had close to no reaction to the Corgi and his goings on. He also got to do some fun scavenging exercises, using his nose to find treats in the grass. He won a lot today for an almost 3 month old. While we were out, I wanted to test his recall. Of course, he nailed it and got a ton of praise every time he voluntarily came back to me in the run. * Pardon the mess at the other end. We finished gutting the basement today for a rebuild that will be centered on dogs. #dogdayspetservices #dogdayspetservicesllc #dogtrainer #dogtraining #dogtrainers #dogtrainerlife #puppytraining #blacklabrador #blacklab #blacklabsofinstagram #blacklabpuppy #blackjack #lynchburgvirginia #lynchburgdogtrainer #lynchburgdogtrainers #lynchburg #lynchburgdogtraining

A long, long time ago, on a river bank far, far away, a dog approached a human, The dog didn’t bite (and neither did the human) and from there, a wonderful, symbiotic relationship was formed, that would last until the end of time. Then came Ron. A goofy, skinny kid, who always had a way with dogs. As he grew older, he discovered that one must not only be able to talk to dogs, but also to be able to listen. Dogs just seem to love him. Dogs that he was told hate men, came to him. Dogs that he was told would bite strangers, sat in his lap and gave him kisses. Dogs that ignored their owners, did what he asked. But, other things seemed to always get in the way. Work. Travel. Relationships. Then suddenly, Ron found himself needing something more. He needed to stop spending so much time doing everything else and pleasing everyone else, and start spending more time with his canine brothers and sisters. Although he had spent decades helping others train their dogs, walking dogs and caring for not only dogs, but also rescuing other animals, domestic and wild, it had never been a formal profession, until late 2019. Since then, Ron has been formally walking and caring for dogs and other animals, as well as immersing himself in Training Techniques and working with helping others not only train their dogs, but to also help with dogs with common problems, like fear and aggression. To put it plainly, Ron loves dogs and dogs love Ron. Dog Days Pet Services LLC has been in the works since early 2020 and now, we are very proud to be able to offer you the special care, that your dog (and pets) need, when you can’t be there. Offering Walking, Drop-In Visits, Day Care and Training, Transportation and more. We’ll treat your fur babies as if they are our own and help them, love them and teach them, so that they can be confident and happy members of your family.
