The humans have been hekkin stressed about my "health" or somethin. My other foster had to take me to the late night Dr. place a few times - I didn't feel so hot back then. I got the big dizzies and shakies - they called it.... tweezers? seizures? Something like that. But now?! Now I'm fine as a fiddle. I think it's because of the fancy treatos I get every day. The human calls it my medicines. Medicines are yummy, so that's fine by me!

I weigh 35lbs and will probably be about 120lbs as a grown up. Idk what that really means, I Juss A Baby! Ok...maybe I AM bigger than the other baby puppies my age, but that's just more belly to rub, amiright?!

Board & Train is a great option to Jump Start your Training Journey. Your dog comes to live with me at "Camp" for 2 weeks. They live in my house, alongside my own dog with all the comforts of a home environment. Send their comfy bed, their sweaters and favorite toys!

In our Board & Train (and all other programs) we never use prong collar, ecollars, or choke chains! We discuss in depth why we don't, but the short version is many aversive training tools are simply band-aids that don't address the root of the behavior.

🚫🐾 **Why You Should Think Twice About Using P*e Pads for Puppy Potty Training** 🐾🚫

Potty training a puppy can be challenging, and while p*e pads may seem convenient, they can create more confusion than clarity. Here’s why you might want to reconsider:

1. **Mixed Signals:** Using p*e pads sends mixed signals to your puppy about where it’s appropriate to go. Puppies learn quickly that pads are a designated potty area, which can lead to a misunderstanding that going indoors is acceptable. This can make it harder for them to grasp the idea that they should only go outside.

2. **Transition Challenges:** When it’s time to transition from p*e pads to outdoor potty breaks, many puppies struggle. They may hesitate to go outside, unsure about the new expectations. This can prolong the potty training process and lead to accidents indoors.

3. **Reinforcing Indoor Potty Habits:** The longer your puppy uses p*e pads, the more they may associate going potty with being indoors. This can create a habit that’s difficult to break, leading to confusion about where they’re supposed to relieve themselves.

4. **Reliance on Pads:** Puppies can become dependent on p*e pads, making it challenging to establish a routine that encourages outdoor potty breaks. This dependency can hinder their progress and your training efforts.

Instead of using p*e pads, focus on establishing a consistent outdoor potty routine. Take your puppy out regularly, reward them for going outside, and be patient as they learn. It may take a bit more time upfront, but the long-term benefits of a well-trained pup are worth it! 🐶❤️

🐾🔍 **Why Dog Parks Might Not Be the Safest Place for Your Pup** 🔍🐾

While dog parks can seem like a great way for our furry friends to socialize and burn off some energy, there are several reasons to reconsider their safety. Here’s why dog parks might not be the best choice for every pup:

1. **Unpredictable Dog Behavior:** Dogs are individuals with unique personalities and temperaments. While some dogs are friendly and eager to play, others may be shy, anxious, or even reactive. This mix can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts, as not all dogs will respond positively to each other’s energy.

2. **Socialization Skills Vary:** Just because a dog is at the park doesn’t mean they are well-socialized. Some dogs may not have had enough positive experiences with other dogs, leading to fear or aggression when meeting new canine friends. It’s important to recognize that not every dog is comfortable in a bustling park environment.

3. **Health Risks:** Dog parks can be hotspots for the spread of diseases, such as kennel cough or parasites. Even vaccinated dogs can be vulnerable in crowded environments, and close contact can lead to unwanted health issues.

4. **Lack of Supervision:** Many dog parks don’t have staff on-site to monitor interactions. Without supervision, things can escalate quickly, and owners may not intervene in time, putting your pup at risk.

5. **Size and Energy Mismatches:** Parks often don’t separate dogs by size or energy level, which can be dangerous for smaller or more timid breeds. A larger, more boisterous dog can easily overwhelm a smaller dog, leading to stress or injury.

6. **Owner Negligence:** Some owners may not have full control over their dogs, leading to chaotic situations where fights can break out or dogs might escape. It’s crucial for dog owners to be vigilant and responsible, but not everyone can or will be.

Before heading to the dog park, consider alternative ways to socialize your pup, such as playdates with trusted friends or training classes that allow for more controlled interactions. Remember, your dog’s safety and happiness should always come first! 🐶❤️

Fostering is the only way to keep dogs from dying. YOU CAN FOSTER! If you need info on where to start, send me a message! I'm not special, anyone can do this!

Have you ever lost your black dog in the dark? 🤣

We don't start with sit! In fact, it's the very last skill covered week 1 of Basic Obedience. We start with Engagement! This means your dog wants to pay attention to you and wants to work with you! Spin fundamentally teaches your dog to follow a treat, even in an unnatural pattern! (It also doubles as a fun party trick!). This makes the foundation of training fun for your dog instead, meaning they'll be excited to learn the next skill! How you train is important. No one wants to work with a dictator. If training isn't fun, you're doing it wrong! Register for our next group class at HiltonHounds.com/group-courses
