I don't "train" (mostly) dogs not to bite or shy away although I do completely change that behavior. I am not a "whisperer". I don't show them new habits like sit or stay, although I do for my own, and I don't tell them anything, aloud or in a whisper. No.

Instead, I "listen" to what they are "saying". I watch their body language which is pretty universal. I see what the triggers are (while trying to keep my hands far away!). I work with that, triggering on purpose every now and then until there is no more reaction. That only happens when they no longer feel threatened and are comfortable enough to be themselves. They don't always emerge with the nicest traits sometimes (like being p**p eaters - eww!) but you know what you have to work with and must do it in a completely nonthreatening way (even as your head is in the bag). I use tons of treats to bring their thinking from Life Is So Crappy to I Love My Life.

Once they love their lives, they can be trained to do almost anything. Because they'll want to.

Name something your dog watches you do that creeps you out.

Kody here. For your next pet, would you consider adopting a senior or one who has been in rescue for a long time?

I was 4 years old and at the County Pound a long time. It was a miracle I stayed because nobody from the outside would adopt me. I guess I was too shy. I wouldn't even look up. But all the staff and volunteers loved me so they kept me. My brother, Monty, was down the hall from me. He was 12 years old and only there 1 week. He wasn't shy at all - he was very mad and wanted to bite everyone. We only met 20 minutes before our new mom, Aunty Taffy, took us home. That was March of 2020. This year little Baby Girl became our sister. She was 6 years old, really scared and, like my brother was, wanted to bite everyone. Which she did to the person saving her in Mississippi. She came here after that.

Today we are 3 happy siblings with totally different personalities who love each other and our mom. I look up and like getting petted. My brother and sister don't want to bite anyone anymore. We all love treats. We can't remember the time when we were miserable.

Can you help others like us? There are thousands just waiting for a chance to have what we have.

Your dog "failed" Obedience School? You never even went there because you already know it won't work?

I'm gonna give you the SECRET about getting dogs trained: YOU MUST PRACTICE WITH YOUR DOG EVERY SINGLE DAY. Pretend you are trying to get to Carnegie Hall. Everyone knows how to do that, right? Practice, practice, practice.

Dogs aren't going to read a manual or listen to a human explanation, totally understand and then do it. No. They think they get a cookie after you are done explaining.

Practice, practice, practice. It's easy and it's free. You got this.

(The concept of "practicing" is actually emphasized at training classes. Because it's really the only thing that works.)

Greetings!! Aunty Taffy here. After a couple years dabbling in different areas of doggy care, I have finally settled on the two main areas I will focus on: Abused and Traumatized Dog Rehabilitation (seriously my favorite thing to do - there's Nothing more rewarding than seeing a snarling, biting dog or a terrified, shut down dog come around to become a welcome family member) and Dog Adoption Assistance. While the Rehab applies to a small percentage of dogs and the people who help them, a majority of people today adopt dogs.

Not everyone knows where to find their new best friend and they may not have time or even WANT to spend time searching 20 different rescues. Aunty Taffy will do the legwork for them. I will make sure the new doggy gets settled in with all the right equipment and rules to ensure a successful family blending. In addition, I will provide some coupons for various Dog related products and services. And, of course, I'll always be available until that dog goes Over The Bridge.

REWARD for your help! Aunty Taffy will pay YOU $25 for every qualified referral (qualified=paid)!! That's like a FREE LUNCH! And, for every 10 qualified referrals, Aunty Taffy will pay YOU $250!! That's a FREE SHOPPING SPREE!!

Help Aunty Taffy save Dog Lives - it's rewarding for everyone!

How to have your dogs eat next to each other.

12/09/2024

Good morning. Aunty Taffy here. I don't post enough on this page like I should - I mostly post stuff about my dogs on my personal page. I post a lot about how these 3 take advantage of me: forcing me to stop everything and distribute treats whenever they decide it's time, taking over all the human seating options in the house, wanting my food while i am trying to eat here, taking over my bed (during daytime only), interrupting me while I am on the computer or phone and other dominance-appearing behaviors.

The truth about the situation is that those are privileges they earn and are only allowed to have when I give permission. I actually control all their moves; they just don't know it. Sometimes I sit where I want to sit, keeping them away. Sometimes I deny those treats. When each one arrived they had zero privileges. They weren't even given free access to the house for a while. They had to show they could get along with other animals/people, not destroy stuff and follow directions given by me. It didn't happen overnight especially since 2 are former aggressive biters and 1 was a former Bait Dog afraid of every single thing and who wouldn't even look up.

Now they are my Entourage, which is the goal. You WANT your pet following you around waiting to learn the next move. That means you have their attention. Once you have their devoted attention, you can teach them anything. And they'll happily learn it.

Do you have your dog's attention?

When Baby Girl arrived January 29, she was not a happy camper. At all. She did not want to be picked up or even touched. She was pretty vicious about defending her space. Years ago when I volunteered at EE Ranch in Topanga Canyon we would take a bunch of dogs down to Malibu hoping to get them adopted. We separated big from little, of course. Most did not know each other. In those days I proclaimed myself a "Big Dog Person" so hung out mostly with them, zapping whoever got out of line with a high powered hose. Problems were almost nonexistent. Not so with the little dogs! I never saw such viciosness toward each other! Whoa! Then Baby was sent to me. She was one of those! Yikes!

Today she's almost completely past that behavior and has become my Velcro Dog. It takes time. Aunty's Taffy can show you how to do this.

Aunty Taffy here. I've been officially working with dogs since the late 80s although I was doing some rescue work prior to that. In fact, I was instrumental in the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society being shut down in 1974 for being INhumane. They were horrible.

Years and years passed with me constantly volunteering to do every aspect of dog rescue, rehabilitation and care until I finally started a company that does just that so I can better save their lives. Since I originally started working with dogs as a volunteer, multitudes of dog trainers have popped up, most with commas in their prices. I spoke to one woman who paid $2,000 and her dog was a little worse when they were done. She was ready to give up on her dog until I showed her what to do. I can't even tell you how happy she is (me, too - another one saved!).

I don't know what all is offered for thousands of dollars but I do know with effort on the owner's part, all that is needed is some guidance and time - lots of time. That's why I offer a low cost alternative. For my normal price of $400 I am going to study your dog's behavior in his/her own environment, develop a customized plan to get your dog's behavior under control, train you how to do it, and stay with you through the entire process and beyond. The SIZZLING SUMMER SPECIAL of $250 is going on until October 15. That's a nearly 40% savings off Aunty Taffy's retail price.

A dog will do whatever it can. Your job is to regulate that. My job is to show you how.

Support Dog Lives and Support Aunty Taffy's K9 Care!

Good morning! Tomorrow is the 2nd Doggy Talk - hope you can come. We'll be discussing Dogs Behaving Badly! I'm sure you all have stories you can share. I have a lot like the time my Rusty jumped out of the car on Peoria by Metrocenter during rush hour or how my Joey ate a chunk of every piece of my sectional couch - the day before I moved from California to Phoenix!

Things happen. We'll discuss how to (mostly) prevent them. But dogs' Number 1 Rule of Living is this: Do Whatever You Can!!

FREE to attend. Text me that you will be there. A fun hour!

26/08/2024

DOGS BEHAVING BADLY!! Does yours? We'll discuss these behaviors in 3 days on Thursday, August 29 in a comfortable theater in Peoria. See flyer.

I waived all the fees at the first session and am waiving them at this 2nd one. I'd much rather have you attend than take your $40. If you need individual attention, I'll charge you a nominal amount then.

Meanwhile, text me to let me know you'll be there to pick up some good tips about ways to control your fur-buddy.

See you there! Woof!

25/08/2024

Good morning. Aunty Taffy here with Baby Girl and Kody who, of course, refused to look at the camera. Monty is doing his own thing. He's a Terrier.

I want you to know you can have well behaved likeable dogs without spending a month's salary. Or more. Until recently (since the 80s) I have been turning dogs around as a volunteer in pet rescue. There are WAY TOO MANY pets in rescue for issues that could have easily been fixed. Tons of dog trainers have popped up, over these past couple of decades especially, but their fees are cost prohibitive to a lot of people. So the dog ends up at the pound only to be euthanized because of overcrowding. Not because of anything the dog did.

Should you have to die because there's no room?

No.

That's why I do offer a low cost alternative to getting your dog in line. I am not going to have you send your dog to me to train. That's ridiculous. Your dog will live with you so you will do the training. You will have a much tighter bond immediately that way. I will meet with you, check out your dog's behavior, give you a comprehensive step by step plan, hold your hand through the entire process (and forever), come back to make sure things are going well and tweak what isn't.

Currently offering the Sizzling Summer Special at $250. Price goes back to the normal $400 on October 15 when we in Phoenix will hopefully be done sizzling until next June.

Text me at 602-999-5515. I'll come over.
