Truth!

Yelling louder for the people in the back

My dog is not my child.

My dog is not my furbaby.

I am not her mother, I am her trainer. The word trainer is not a bad word, it means leader, supporter,disciplinary.. and friend.

My dog is my friend. She is my partner and my companion. To treat her like a child, to infantilize her and make it seem as though she needs my constant coddling or protection, would be unfair to her.

She is an adult carnivore that I have brought into my human world. Because of that it is my responsibility as her owner:

1) To communicate with her in a way she can understand.

2) To provide leadership, discipline and mutual respect.

3) To understand her instincts and needs, and provide appropriate outlets for them.

4) To train her and provide her the skills to function effectively in our human world, including acceptable manners and behaviors including the veterinarian.

Our dogs deserve to be given responsibility and allowed to be adult creatures, not perpetual babies. Please, don't try to make them tiny humans, they aren't and they don't want to be. Dogs are wonderful because they are dogs. Let them be dogs.

Teach them to be good ones.

I couldn’t live a day without them..

We hosted St Lawrence Valley Dog Club AKC Temperament Test today. What a fun day and 17 (out of 17 dogs tested) left with new titles today! Many, many thanks to all who participated and even more thanks to those who helped out. HUGE thanks to Deb Kreider who had everything perfectly organized allowing the test to run very smoothly. I didn’t get pix of everyone but here are a number of our entry dogs. Congratulations to all! If you want to add pix just send them to me.

Calling all German, Belgian, and Dutch Shepherd Dogs, we need you! The Evans Lab is actively collecting blood samples for our genetic research of pannus, which is an immune-related eye disease in which lesions develop on the cornea. Samples are needed from dogs diagnosed with pannus at any age. We also need samples from dogs without pannus who are 8 years or older.

Please contact us at [email protected] to be a part of our research!
