Last year I started to foster dogs for Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter, Barcs, and I was able to place a puppy, Avril, in her forever home. Was I sad to see her go? Totally. But happy that she had a family of her own. Later on, I started to think that I should…

Is A Multi-Dog Household For You?
I never thought I would end up living with 3 dogs of my own. I’ve had up to 5 or 6 dogs at a time, but only 1 belonged to me. And to answer my own question, I’d say that a multi-dog household is the right fit for me right now, the operative word being “now”, and…
Zoe And Loose Leash Walking
Could you believe that one of the most requested session I get is for loose leash walking? Yes, I was surprised too and that is why I include it in my Behavior and Training LV1 because if you don’t exercise your dog and you expect her to listen to you, well, let me tell you that…
Dogs, Holidays, Headaches And Solutions
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…
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…
Dogs Are A Lifetime Commitment Not A Christmas Present
Christmas is right around the corner, and if you are thinking about giving a puppy as a present to a friend or family member, please don’t. Yes, you read it right. A dog is a lifetime commitment and there are a lot of things to consider such as: will its new family have the time,…
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…
