Update On Zoe

Zoe has been with us for 5 months and to say that our girl is a bundle of energy would be an understatement. For that reason, I do my best to walk her twice a day. It’s good for all of us, and let’s remember that I want to keep my sanity as well. She…

Dog Behavior And Training Group Classes – Annapolis, MD.

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Happy New Year 2023!

Well, we decided to start 2023 by eating and relaxing just like our canine companions on the above picture. Dogs are amazing teachers, if you take the time to really watch how they live their lives, and so we decided to copy their behavior and relax. Happy New Year to you, your furry kids, and…

Charlie’s Progress – Part VI

All dogs, just like us people, have quirks and issues, and our Charlie is not the exception. Early on, we figured out that Charlie disliked having his paws handled so we try to handle his paws, gently, every single day. Some pet parents would say to let it be, but if the time comes when…
