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,…
Avril Got Adopted!
Avril met her first prospective adopter yesterday, Saturday, and you know what? This family decided to adopt her right away. She found her forever home! She was with us for a couple of weeks, and we are really going to miss her, but we are so happy that she found a wonderful family to call…
Avril – 52568155 BARCS
Isn’t Avril adorable? She is currently boarding with us at All My Canine Companions as a foster. She is spayed and ready for her new home. She is wearing a cute sweater, a pink backpack, she is a girl after all, and a Gentle Leader. What does she love to do? Get kisses, get close…
3 Reasons To Crate Train Your Dog
There are many reasons why your dog should be crate trained, but I think these 3 that follow-for me-are the most important: Avril, the cutie pie in the above picture, is learning the ins and outs of crate training and she is doing wonderful. I like to put a comforter to cover the crate to…

All My Canine Companions formed a partnership with BARCS, Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Center, and so we will be fostering dogs from this organization from now and on. Dogs get returned to a shelter because they may have training, but not behavior which includes things such as: no counter surfing, walking properly on leash,…
Boston Bound Family/Pack
Cynthia received a nice offer for a new job in Boston, MA so we’ll be moving within the next couple of weeks. Bella, our almost 4 year old pit mix, has never moved with us, therefore her reaction on the above picture is understandable, right? Alex, on the other hand, has moved with us several…
Dogs And Good Manners
When Bella came to live with us a little over 4 months ago, she had absolutely no doggie manners: she’d step over Alex; bump into her; and this was the worst, while Alex was sunbathing by the sliding doors Bella would try to put part of her body on top of Alex. Manners is something…
Foster Failure – Bella, Our Girl
A little over 3 months ago, Cynthia and I went to BARCS to pick up a foster dog, and I truly wanted to train her and work on her behavior so she could go to her forever home, but that was never meant to be. As time went by, I realized that Bella was a…
Basic Training Part II
Bella completed her Basic Training/Good Manners class on Saturday, 3/01/14 and to say that we are proud of her would be an understatement. With Casey, my first dog, I took Obedience I, Obedience II, and Canine Good Citizen. With Alex, my current furry kid, I took Obedience I. Why do I do this? What’s the…
