Is Dog Behavior Modification Fast, Easy, And Simple?
If anybody tells you that dog behavior modification is fast, easy and simple to do, that person would be lying to you. In order to modify the behavior of a dog, you really need, at a minimum, 3 weeks. Whenever I am going to work with a dog, I do a meet and greet to…
Abby + Backpack = Good Girl
Abby is 2 1/2 years old and what I’ve found out is that she does well when she wears a backpack because it gives her a job to do, carrying things, while she exercises, and as a result she seems to be more relaxed. The first time I saw her with a backpack I couldn’t…
Abby in Salem, MA
Since Nina, one of Abby’s friends, believes that there are ghosts in Stoughton, MA, Abby decided to take a trip to Salem, MA and see if she could find some witches. You know what? She did. The statue behind us is that of Elizabeth Montgomery who played Samantha in Bewitched. When I was a kid in…
Are There Ghosts In Stoughton, MA?
Nina, the cutie pie on the left, comes to hang out with Abby sometimes, and walks are always on Abby’s schedule. Today we had some rain so we took a late morning walk. I don’t know exactly what they heard, but they both turned their heads at the same time. Let’s remember they can hear…
My Hard Working Abby
Were you wondering what Abby was up to this morning? My hard working girl was walking this gorgeous pit bull, Champagne, and they were both gracious enough to pose for this picture. Ok., more like a miracle. I took this picture when we were into our 30 minute walk. By the way, they are both…

Abby Went to Harvard
Who said Harvard is only for humans? We took Abby this past weekend to Harvard to walk, do some sightseeing, take pictures and, of course, continue working on her commands and behavior. How did she do? Not bad. The day was beautiful but because Abby is dark and part Bulldog, I had to stop for…
Treats, Pictures and Dogs
Every time I try to take pictures of dogs for the most part it ends up in a complete disaster, but I laugh and enjoy the experience. Now, if treats are in the mix, pictures tend to be easier to take. Abby is already giving her paw to Cynthia. Dogs cannot fake things. That’s why…
Little Italy, Boston, MA -Abby & Emmie
Yesterday, Saturday, was a gorgeous day so we decided to go to Little Italy, also know as the North End, in Boston, MA. Cynthia and I agreed that we are going to do our best to see as much of Massachusetts as we possibly can while we live here. When we lived in Maryland, DC…
