Many dog owners seeking solutions to their dogs' behavioral issues often overlook the critical role that food can play in affecting their pet's behavior. It is important for owners to understand that poor nutrition and food sensitivities can lead to behavioral problems in dogs, such as aggression, anxiety, hyperactivity, and even digestive issues.
The quality of ingredients in a dog's diet can greatly impact their overall well-being and behavior. For example, commercial dog foods filled with preservatives, additives, and low-quality protein sources can contribute to behavioral problems.
7 out of 10 dogs suffer from food sensitives. Discover if your dog's behavior is food related.

Good advice about dog parks. But the underline issue is the human aspect of being a good dog owner.
If your dog is not socially appropriate, you don't take them to a dog park. If you're an owner thinking the dogs will figure it out, you don't belong in a dog park.
It's a shame that irresponsible dog owners ruin the experience for everyone. It's not worth the risk.

When you come home from a hard day, who's there waiting for you? When something sad happens, who's is there comforting you? When your feeling happy, who's there to share your joy? That's right, your dog!!!!
Remember that when it time to say good bye.

How many of you are like me?
For some people, pets are more than companions, they become a part of who we are. Even in death they are a part of our soul's journey. They teach us about friendship, loyalty, connection, love, compassion, joy, laughter, and grace. Their love transcends through time and space, they play a significant role in our spiritual growth and are forever present in our life.
Our time on earth with our dogs is short. Have compassion, respect, even on difficult days when your dog is a butt head.

What are you looking at?
Whenever I train with Luna, she gets so excited her lower lip quivers.
Dog training is about teaching pet owners how to work with their dog. This young man is doing an excellent job and working with his 5-year-old mastiff in low level distraction. Here we are Building techniques which are important in becoming effective in communication.
Talking to you dog about stress and anxiety
Talking to Holly Starr Animal Communicator about what dogs have to say about stress and anxiety.
Telling Stories with just a photograh
Travis Patenaude Award Winning Photo-Activist raising awareness about the hunting dogs of Spain
Training isn't always about sits and downs. Sometimes I like to add things just for diversity such as the case with Cooper. Cooper's a pretty smart guy and so I've added touch and Chin. Which is the same technique I'm utilizing for a 3-year-old shih Tzu who is bitten a few groomers.
I don't know what happened to the volume, never the less Cooper day 5 in training. I'm introducing the pillow command but distractions are high. Very windy, but he held it together
Cooper is learning doggy language. Instead of jumping on the other dogs being silly Willy he waits for the signal to play. But he is always eager. But check out that recall.
In Home Family Training, Trains the family to train the dog. And it's fun for kids
For dogs that can be problematic by taking things that aren't theirs, counter surfing, boredom, nuisance behavior. Nuisance behavior. Keeping a well stocked toy box with plenty of diversity is going to teach your dog to continue to go to the toy box to find things that are interesting. Sweet! Tara gets to choose a toy and the toy box. Sometimes it's a Kong. Sometimes it's a bone and bring it to her pillow and she can enjoy it
It might be a little chilly and overcast, but training outside is still beneficial for distraction training. Just keep your training session short and enjoy
Training a place command is one of the most powerful behavior modifying commands. You cannot correct dog behavior without having an alternative. So if your dog is a counter surfer or you prefer them not to sit on your furniture, then this is one solution. Good Girl !!
