I usually say that living with a dog is an adventure, emphasis on dog, but let me tell you that living with 3 dogs is an odyssey. Yes people, an odyssey! By the way, whether you have one dog or multiple dogs, make sure that you are committed to their well being because dogs become…

Spring 2024 And Dogs
To say that I don’t like cold freezing weather, for those who know me, would be an understatement and so I am anxiously waiting for Spring to arrive. In the meantime, we are still wearing jackets, sweaters, gloves, etc., and yes the 3 musketeers are still using their blankets. Abby and Zoe get cold easy…
Confession Of A Dog Trainer: A Mischievous Dog
We have 3 dogs: Abby, Charlie and Zoe and each one has a particula personality, quirks, dislikes, etc. Now, if you think that because they live with a dog trainer, yours truly, they are almost perfect, well, let me tell that you are wrong. Did I just give you some hope by thinking, “I’m not alone.” I hope…
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…

Rest And Relax Like Your Dogs Do, Without Guilt
We, humans, tend to take too many projects/jobs/chores on that leave us exhausted, overwhelmed, and fed up, to say the least. I believe our dogs are not only our companions, but our teachers. Have you ever seen a dog look guilty because he was napping? I haven’t. And with that in mind, we, humans, should…
A New Bed For Abby And Charlie
We got a new bed for Abby and Charlie a few weeks ago-at this point you’re probably saying to yourself, “That’s so nice of you”-because we got tired of moving their two beds from the kitchen to the living room. By now you’ve realized that such action was self-serving. Anyway, Abby and Charlie are still…
Charlie’s Progress – Part V
I got tired of typing that long, Charlie’s Behavior Rehabilitation And Training title, so I went with the shorter version, Charlie’s Progress. Hope you don’t mind. Anyway, today Remy came to vacation with us for a few days and I’ll be honest when I say that he is the most gentle dog we’ve ever had….
