Zoe has been with us for 5 months and to say that our girl is a bundle of energy would be an understatement. For that reason, I do my best to walk her twice a day. It’s good for all of us, and let’s remember that I want to keep my sanity as well. She…

Spring 2024 And Dogs
To say that I don’t like cold freezing weather, for those who know me, would be an understatement and so I am anxiously waiting for Spring to arrive. In the meantime, we are still wearing jackets, sweaters, gloves, etc., and yes the 3 musketeers are still using their blankets. Abby and Zoe get cold easy…
Dogs And Pictures
Recently we were walking and it was freezing, as per the frozen puddle of water shows, so we decided to take a picture of it. A picture of the frozen puddle of water, in case you think that I was talking about a dog. Anyway, Zoe decided that she wanted to be part of the…
Dog Behavior And Training Group Classes – Annapolis, MD.
Last year I started to foster dogs for Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter, Barcs, and I was able to place a puppy, Avril, in her forever home. Was I sad to see her go? Totally. But happy that she had a family of her own. Later on, I started to think that I should…
Is A Multi-Dog Household For You?
I never thought I would end up living with 3 dogs of my own. I’ve had up to 5 or 6 dogs at a time, but only 1 belonged to me. And to answer my own question, I’d say that a multi-dog household is the right fit for me right now, the operative word being “now”, and…
Zoe And Loose Leash Walking
Could you believe that one of the most requested session I get is for loose leash walking? Yes, I was surprised too and that is why I include it in my Behavior and Training LV1 because if you don’t exercise your dog and you expect her to listen to you, well, let me tell you that…
Dogs, Holidays, Headaches And Solutions
Do you know what I noticed recently? That my dogs, Abby, Charlie and Zoe, by the end of the holidays are not as well behaved as other times of the year. By the way, I take 100% responsibility for their unruliness. I, as a dog trainer, know that consistency, boundaries, exercise etc., is essential for having balanced dogs….
Mischievous Dog, Charlie, Part 2
It’s been snowing since yesterday here in Annapolis, MD and so the kids are napping while I write this post. Anyway, let’s see how Charlie is doing since my last post. He’s walking better than a week ago. He sits down once he realizes that that is what I want without having to say anything at…
Confession Of A Dog Trainer: A Mischievous Dog
We have 3 dogs: Abby, Charlie and Zoe and each one has a particula personality, quirks, dislikes, etc. Now, if you think that because they live with a dog trainer, yours truly, they are almost perfect, well, let me tell that you are wrong. Did I just give you some hope by thinking, “I’m not alone.” I hope…
Holidays And Uncooperative Dogs
We hope that you had wonderful holidays with your dogs, family and friends. We had a peaceful, quiet time with our dogs at home and we had a good laugh at their expense after seeing pictures like the above. One thing is for sure, living with dogs is an adventure, and we have 3 dogs! After taking…
