Vanna And The Vet

Vanna started the week by visiting the vet this morning at BARCS for a follow up appointment and although she was understandably unsure, I think she did well. No barking, whining, pulling, etc. This cutie pie needs some rest and relaxation so we went straight home after this appointment. Once at home, she drank water,…

Vanna ID 50527282 Foster Dog

The cutie pie in the crate is our foster doggie. She is amazing. Small, energetic, loving and full of life. I’ll be working with her on behavior and training, with emphasis on the former. Dogs end up in shelters, many times, because they need behavior modification. We’ll keep you posted on her progress. Enjoy your…

One Of My Favorite Stores Is HD

Home Depot, there are two of them in the area, happens to be one of my favorite stores to visit with my doggies. I do go to shop, but I also like to go to practice some of the things Abby and Charlie know such as stay, as you could see in the picture, and…

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….

Charlie’s Nightmare: Going To The Vet

Charlie’s nightmare is going to the vet and I had to take him this week for his annual checkup and vaccines and I was pleasantly surprised with him and the vet. Charlie’s antics are worth of being featured in a Broadway production, but this time, to my surprise, he was better than he’s ever been…

Is It Hot Enough For You?

It is extremely hot hear in Annapolis, MD, what about in your neck of the woods? Yesterday the temperature went up to 90 degrees. Could you believe that? And today we are expecting more of the same. I think the only two places to be right now with this heat is indoors or in the…

Belated Happy 4th of July

The above picture was taken on a trip we took with Abby to Canada years ago. Could you see how she twisted her seat belt? Right before the 4th came around, I had a list of the things I wanted to accomplish: Do you know what I actually did accomplish during this past holiday? One…

Summer, Walks, And Dogs

The above picture was taken years ago in June, and it was surprisingly not too hot for June in Maryland. Yes, unbelievable but true. Anyway, since we moved from Massachusetts I can no longer walk whenever I feel like it. Why? It’s too hot and humid, by the way I am not complaining, so I…
