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…
Dog Beds And 3 Dogs
You can’t see Charlie because he’s covered completely by that dark gray blanket. Now, my question to you is, why in God’s green earth they don’t use the 3 beds available to them? They are only using 2 beds. Let me know what you think. After our morning walk and breakfast, even our energetic Zoe…

Getting Ready For X-Mas 2023
We already put up our tree and ornaments for Christmas, but we forgot to check if we had enough accessories for our canines, and you know what? We did! Btw, the one that kept her accessory on longer and without any complaints was, drumroll please, Zoe! One interesting observation, there were 2 beds available, although…
Zoe Acclimating To A New Family/Pack
It’s been 5 weeks since we picked up Zoe from Barcs.org as a foster dog, and ended up adopting her. She is doing great. Every dog is an individual therefore the acclimation time could be days, weeks or months. And with that in mind, this is how she is doing: I love to see the…
Happy Thanksgiving 2023!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family from all of us here in Annapolis, MD. The day is a little cold but it’s sunny so no complaints from our part. And then there were three. That is three cutie pies “attempting” to help with meal preparation. Yes, they will be rewarded handsomely later on today….
Vanna Got Adopted!
Vanna got adopted, wait for it, by us! We changed her name to Zoe, which means life in Greek, because she’s so full of life and energetic, and so our pack of dogs grew to 3 dogs. Zoe has a lot to learn and so we’ll be posting from time to time her progress in…
