Confession Of A Dog Trainer – Cutting Nails

Years ago, when we had 2 dogs, pit bull mixes, I had to start cutting their nails. They were both compliant and didn’t seem to care at all. I, on the other hand, for the first couple of months would sweat profusely, it didn’t matter if it was Summer or Winter season, every time I…

How Was Your Weekend?

As the picture above of my 2 ungrateful furry kids show, we did get a chance to relax this past weekend. I did some cleaning, and it was interesting because neither of them went to sleep til I was finished even though they had their comfortable bed. Maybe it was all the noise I made….

Life + Dogs = Balance

Our canine companions do change our lives in so many ways. For some pet parents-like me- dogs bring joy, laughter, more exercise, and even more interaction with other pet parents.
