Looking Forward To 2023

How was your Christmas? I hope you had a wonderful time. I felt exactly like the above picture, tired and content after eating a delicious meal, but grateful for all the blessings in my life. Now, who is impatiently waiting for the new year? I just hope I make it to 12AM so I can…

Abby’s Trip To Canada – Part 2 of 2 (Quebec)

Yes, we were totally lost when we visited Quebec, but it didn’t matter to us.  How come?  We had a good time exploring this beautiful city, and eating along the way. We were all ready to go back to Massachusetts after visiting Canada, but I think Abby a bit more because she watched us carefully…

Happy New Year! 2019

Happy New Year from All My Canine Companions to you and your furry kids. Regardless of how you spent the new year – some of us did lot of walking and napping – we hope you had a great time and enjoyed your loved ones.  Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas 2018

We waited until after midnight to go to bed in order to wish each other Merry Christmas, but our canine companions were ready to go to bed already so we followed Prince’s example, and it was lights out for my pack. This morning, my impatient girl, Abby, was eagerly waiting for breakfast and presents in…

Fall 2018 And Your Canine Companions

The above picture of Champagne is exactly how I felt this past Summer: hot, bothered, and anxiously waiting for better weather.  And you know what?  My wish came true and here’s Fall!  We’ve had rain and a lot of cloudy days lately here in Stoughton, MA but I can’t complain about the weather because it’s…

Summer 2018 – Go Away!

We’ve lived in Stoughton, MA 2 1/2 years, and Summer time in MA is beautiful, but this year I really want the Summer to be over and done.  Why?  I am tired of 90 degrees days and high humidity. Last Summer we went to Provincetown, or P town, and we enjoyed ourselves, but this Summer…

Walking And Behavior Modification

One of the things I teach pet parents and I find very important during Behavior and Training Level I, is to not allow their dogs to bolt out the door, any door for that matter.  Why?  They could get injured, killed, lost, cause an accident, and/or harm another dog/animal or human. Even though Abby knows…

Abby + Backpack = Good Girl

Abby is 2 1/2 years old and what I’ve found out is that she does well when she wears a backpack because it gives her a job to do, carrying things, while she exercises, and as a result she seems to be more relaxed.  The first time I saw her with a backpack I couldn’t…

Dog Behavior And Walking Your Dog

When I do a consultation, the first thing I want is for the pet parent to tell me what issues his dog is exhibiting and what is it that they want to accomplish.  Once they do that, usually my first question is: how many times a day do you walk your dog and for how…

Spring is Coming – 2015

Do you know how Alex is going to welcome Spring?  She will start by taking frequent naps specially when we go out sightseeing and/or shopping.  She has to have her beauty sleep. Alex’s naps will be followed by walks throughout the day.  She is a senior, almost 13 years old, and as such it is…
