Do you think brushing your dog's teeth will take too long, or be too much work?

Little Pancake's mouth has been more sensitive in the last few weeks after his last cleaning, so I need to take more little breaks when brushing his teeth. And it still takes us less than a minute.

🚨These special bonuses for new students in our Healthy Smiles self-paced tootbhrushing course are ending TODAY!

✅ A free guide to low-stress dental visits, and

✅ Access to a discounted 1-on-1 session with me!

What keeps you going when it seems the bad outweighs the good in the world?

Here's one of mine: This is the first time we've seen Turnip wag her tail during training! Her mom says she didn't see any tail wags ever for the first 2 years or more that she had her.

One of the best things about my work, is that I get to know some of the very best humans. Thank you

🦴Do your dog's dental chews really clean their teeth? Or how about those dental diets?

Here Pancake is valiently chewing a ginormous dental diet kibble, made for bigger dogs. Does it help?

I don’t know if you know this…

🐷But Pancake is a bit of a ham. Any time the camera comes out, he finds a way to be in front of it. 😂

😻Want an easy game to can play TODAY with your dog to work toward brushing their teeth? Try the toothbrush boop game.

If your dog hates having their face and mouth handled, you probably find yourself putting off brushing their teeth. Because you HATE making your dog uncomfortable. If they don't like it, we don't either.

That's why in our online, self-paced toothbrushing class, Healthy Smiles, you get small, easy steps like this one so you can make the training fun instead of stressful.

In February only, you get a couple of special bonuses when you enroll also, including a FREE guide to low-stress dental visits.

🧐Do any of those dental products for dogs really help?

😂 Well, don't tell Pancake, but they definitely don't help if you roll on them instead of chewing them.

If you're wondering which chews, water additives, and diets are worth the money- and what's the BEST way to care for your dog's mouth- check out our FREE webinar on dog dental products here: https://www.dogkindtraining.com/dental-products-webinar

🪥 Think you can't teach your dog to have their teeth brushed?

Think again! Pancake says, "You can't do it if you don't try!" And as you can see, he's not a quitter.

Dental disease can cause pain and discomfort- which in turn can increase anxiety. Helping your anxious dog is hard enough, don't neglect their teeth!

FEBRUARY! Most notably, is Black History Month. 🎉

But since we're a dog training company, we also celebrate it as Pet Dental Health Month. Not quite as important or exciting, but we hope you'll pay attention to your dog's dental health anyway!

Pain, including pain associated with dental disease, can cause increased behaviors associated with fear and anxiety in our dogs. No one needs that.

I'll be sending out an updated video and blog on pain, dental health, and behavior tomorrow. If you're not already on my email list, you can sign up here so you don't miss out: https://dogkindtraining.com/newsletter

Pancake here is showing how he feels about poor dental health. Grrr.

(Just kidding. I accidentally-on purpose reinforced chomping behavior when he tries to find my hand for "touch" training.)

30/01/2025

You've seen him in jacket and tie, looking slick and making deals.

BUT weekending Pancake? Lookin' good!

Now that I have your attention...

🤩 Can you think of something that has brought you joy lately?

🐕 How about something that brought your dog joy?

Nothing makes me happier than seeing my sweet 16 year old girl Juno (mostly) recovered from her vestibular disease that hit her hard around Thanksgiving. I think she's pretty happy too.

5 pm Pacific time. https://facebook.com/events/s/how-to-video-and-observe-dogs-/587264834026111/

🧸 Do you know what your dog prefers when it comes to enrichment activities?

When you have a very sensitive, timid dog, it can seem like they don't really love anything. Discovering their preferences might require very careful observation.

Pancake here is not longer so timid. He and his sis Juno let me know in no uncertain terms on a recent outing that their preference is "garbage." 😂

Want to learn about how to understand your fearful dog better, and what kind of enrichment choices to offer? Join me for my LAST free live training I'll offer for a while, this week Wedenesday. Sign up here: https://dogkindtraining.com/webinar
