I can’t complain, well I could but I don’t want to, because we did exactly what we wanted to do this Christmas and that was: sleeping, eating, napping, having nice long talks, walking, and waking up late for a change. I did catch a cold, but other than that Christmas was peaceful and enjoyable. I…

Back To Basics Dog Behavior And Training Level 1.
To say that it was a hot summer would be an understatement and so just like kids went back to school recently, Abby and Zoe are going to do the same. We’ll be working on Dog Behavior And Training Level 1 nice and slowly. Btw, Abby has selective hearing even though she’s been with us…
Morning Walks: Best for Hot Weather
I know, I know. I’m always telling you to walk your dogs, and now I tell you to do the opposite. Are you confused? Join the club. Let me explain. I love to walk and this is a wonderful activity to do with your dogs, but you should do it when such activity is safe…
Summer 2024
It’s the start of summer and we, here in Annapolis, MD are certainly feeling it with temperature to reach 93 degrees by Saturday. And with that being said, these are a few things I do to keep my pack of doggies exercised and safe: Could you believe I said to skip a walk? Sometimes you…
Good Dog Bed Is Important
Do you know that dogs sleep between 12 to 18 hours a day depending on age? Wow! Because of that, it’s very important to find a comfortable bed for your doggies to sleep on and relax. When I got my first dog, if I remember correctly, I used to drag one bed all over our…
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….
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…
Vanna, Anxiety And Update
Vanna has been with us for a little over 3 weeks and she’s doing great. Her anxiety-licking her lips, pacing back and forth, and tucked tail-is diminishing as time goes by. Here are some of the things I do with Vanna: Vanna is an amazing little dog and she is progressing beautifully but let’s remember…
Update On Vanna
Abby, Vanna and Charlie (L to R) As you can see from the above picture, that’s the reaction I got from them when I told them to pose for us, but that there wasn’t going to be any treats for them. Could you believe that? Vanna is doing better regarding her loose leash walking, doors,…
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…
