An excellent dog trainer is ethical, empathetic, and highly educated.

They value hands-off teaching and take pride in kindness, always listening and considering both the dog’s and the owner’s needs.

These qualities ensure that the dog’s welfare and the bond between dog and human are respected and nurtured.

Dont be fooled by making obedience training the focus. It’s a false sense of security.

Obedience training happens more naturally when you focus on building trust with your dog.

Play is such a wonderful way to connect and teach your dog. Play w you or with other dogs is a necessary part of your relationship where so much is learned and shared. However, you need to be open to allowing the dog to be a dog and teach you while they are learning about your and other dogs play style. Have fun today and listen carefully to your pup.

Thanks .brains for continuing education.

If you think your dog *may* have a back/neck prob, crate/restrict movement & get to vet ASAP to get treatment started. Minutes count in preventing paralysis & starting treatment. Signs of an back/neck prob can be not wanting to go for walk/do steps, sleeping more, shivering/shaking, tight tummy, walking wobbly, holding head at an angle, not wanting to eat/drink, crying out for no apparent reason, tail not wagging or at an odd angle.

Myth busters #9: Puppies should not be walked until they are fully vaccinated.

Puppy socialization is a critical learning and developmental period between 3 and 12 weeks of age. Puppies not appropriately exposed to their environment during this time may become overly afraid, anxious, and possibly aggressive. Vaccine protocols are completed between 16-18 weeks of age. If puppies are not socialized until after vaccines are completed, the risk of behavior concerns, and potentially behavioral euthanasia, is much greater.
