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…

Sweaters And Jackets For Dogs?
Yes, dogs need sweaters and jackets! Specially dogs like Vanna that happen to have very short hair. Some dogs even need booties, but to be honest I have never made any of my dogs wear them. This morning the temperature in Annapolis, MD was in the mid 30’s so dogs and humans alike bundled up…
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…
Charlie’s Nightmare: Going To The Vet
Charlie’s nightmare is going to the vet and I had to take him this week for his annual checkup and vaccines and I was pleasantly surprised with him and the vet. Charlie’s antics are worth of being featured in a Broadway production, but this time, to my surprise, he was better than he’s ever been…
BARCS And Avril – Cutie Pie!
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.

It’s The First Day Of Fall 2022. Yay!
Abby, “Mom. Mom! Where’s Charlie? Did you forget Charlie again? Man!” Today is the first day of Autumn and although lots of people enjoy Summer more, I prefer the former. It gives me more opportunities to be out with my dogs and do different things with them. Yes, that includes walking! Anyway, enjoy this wonderful…
Fall Season 2022 And Dogs
I had to put, “Fall Season” as to not confuse people with the movie Fall. By the way, the movie is great! Watch it when you get a chance. According to what I found out, Fall starts September 22, but I am already feeling the change in weather and I am loving it! Here in…
Managing A Multi-Dog Household
A few pet parents have asked me how do I manage a multi-dog household and this is what I tell them: Exercise is the #1 ingredient and the most important of all. If your dog is tired, chances that he will have the energy to get in trouble highly decreases. He can run, walk, hike,…
My Mom Is Feeling Under The Weather
Abby, “So my mom has not been feeling well these last couple of days, therefore our walks, tummy rubs, treats, and so much more declined considerably. I didn’t know what to do so I asked her to take a look at our old pics and whichever one made her smile to post on her website….
