At Elite Canine we are all about safety and this is not safe. We see this all the time and it drives us crazy! Your dog is in extreme danger while riding on your lap. If your airbag deploys, that's it ladies and gentlemen. You precious pup will be killed instantly. What if you have to brake hard and your pup falls to the floorboards? How will you rescue them if you are driving? What if they fall under your brake pedal? Can you live with the decision you make whether to not brake and hit something or brake and possibly kill your pal? We know we couldn't.
Be smart folks. Use your brains and don't put your dogs at risk. Get an elevated seat for the passenger seat that clips into the seat belt. If you have a bigger dog that triggers the airbag please keep them in the back seat.
It's not cute or adorable. It's irresponsible and a risk you shouldn't take.

**Very Important Information**
"Hi everyone. We hope you are staying warm and safe. We thought you might find this information useful and we do hope it never has to be used.
In our house when mom says "It's an emergency, I know to go straight to the basement. She is working with my brothers and sister so they also know. Pete and Jack-Jack are great at it but the kids, not so much."
"I'm just a baby!"
"Izzie I was a baby when I learned. You're just a brat and Ash you are old enough to learn also."
"Huh? What's happening?"
"UGH! Anyhoo, please take the time to read the article below."

When a natural disaster or other emergency hits, you and your dog will both need to be prepared. Training your dog for an emergency requires these skills.

Yesterday the world lost an amazing woman. Karen Pryor was the pioneer behind Force Free Dog Training. She was a pioneer in the field of animal training, particularly known for her advocacy of positive reinforcement and clicker training. She introduced modern, science-based methods for training animals and humans alike, emphasizing the importance of rewarding desired behaviors rather than punishing undesired ones.
Don't Shoot the Dog was the first book I read when I first started my journey as a dog trainer over 20 years ago and I have read it over and over again. I'm so sad yet so happy that she was on this earth to show the world that training can be fun and engaging and doesn't need the use of punitive training methods.
RIP and I can bet you were greeted by thousands of thankful dogs who were trained using your methods.

"Hello wonderful humans. The Forsyth Humane Society is in need of some things. I go there a lot and it is always so clean but that takes supplies. So, if you happen to be out shopping or maybe scrolling through Amazon, maybe you could through one or two things in for those heroes keeping the animals and staff healthy and safe. Thank you!"
