Many puppies grow up with dog or other reactivity issues because their owner may have misunderstood what proper socialization means…

Exposing your dog (if you have an under-socialized dog) or pup to different situations and people is very important to end up with a well adjusted dog.
What is even more important is to make sure that your dog makes a positive association with the experience.

Introduce at your dog’s pace and level of comfort!

Puppies can be around other dogs at around 8 to 10 weeks, however, they need a week to adjust to their new home before meeting large groups.

Public Service Announcement - do not let your children do this to your dog. This dog snapped at the child (no surprise) and was sent to a shelter.

Please teach your children how to be kind and gentle with animals.

Dog training isn't just about training a dog. A dog's owner must also learn certain behaviors that help cue their dog's responses.

As for everything, please do your homework!
A dog can not be put in a box and shipped back to Amazon … it should be a lifetime commitment!

Many don't know this information! Remember every second matters during a choking incident.
1. Place the dog on their back. Brace the back against the floor. Straddle the dog while adjusting yourself based on the size of the dog. Position the head in “in-line position” with the airway parallel to the floor.
2. Make an open diamond shape with your hands. Place your thumbs on either side of the trachea below the ball or object. Grip the “V” of the jaw using lip/cheek to protect fingers.
3. Push with a J-stroke down and out against the ball until it ejects from the mouth.
Both this method and the Heimlich method has been proven to work in these scenarios so don't hesitate to save your dog.

Please share…. We all have had dogs and we all have done things that we should not have done. Our job is never to put a dog in a position where he feels that he has to bite!
A concept that is going more mainstream!

While we would love to bring our dogs everywhere with us, some dogs are not comfortable with "chaos" so it is best to leave them at home!

If your dog is not rock-solid with strangers or crowds, leave him home – or provide him with a separate, safe space.
