Working With Vanna

Although it looks like Vanna is relaxing, let me tell you that she’s been working very hard on loose leash walking, steps/stairs, and doors. When it comes to steps/stairs and doors, she is doing much better than the first day we got her, but I want to work a bit more on these areas because…

Ready For Behavior And Training!

Vanna is our second foster from BARCS and a cutie pie as the above picture clearly shows. We got Vanna last Friday and she’s done with her 2 days of acclimating to a new home, smells, routine, etc. Depending on the dog, not the breed, I determine whether or not I could start working on…

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…

Go Away Ophelia!

The above picture was taken yesterday, 9/25/23, and because of Ophelia we will have a few more days of rain. Not crazy about that, but we were still able to walk. One of the many things I have realized by having dogs is that you have to figure things out in order to make sure…

Unforgettable 2023 Summer

The temperature yesterday, today and tomorrow will reach 93 degrees in Annapolis, MD. Could you believe that? How are we dealing with the hot temperatures? We go for a nice long walk very early in the morning; in the evening we go to a store that allows dogs so we could walk; and we drink…

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…

Juneteenth Holiday

How was your holiday? I hope you had a great time celebrating this holiday, and that you also took some time to relax like Abby and Charlie clearly demonstrate in the above picture. May you have a productive week ahead of you, and remember to take some breaks. Take care.

The Advantages Of An Adult Dog

As you can tell by the title of this post, I am biased, or maybe I should say, I prefer adult dogs, right? If you are going to a shelter and you are not taking a look at the adult dogs they have for adoption , let me tell you that you might just be…
