Yes, we’re finally back home. Home is really where your heart is, and a long time ago I realized that that place was Maryland. For the last 5 years, we lived in Stoughton, MA and although it was a nice place, and we met amazing people and dogs, I always hoped that we had the…

Are Dog Owners Healthier People?
Yes, I do believe that most, not all, dog owners are healthier people than those without dogs. I remember a couple of years ago when my Alex was injured and unable to walk with me, I went out by myself to walk, and I still remember how boring it was. I never did it again. …
Loose Leash Walking & Behavior Modification
I’ve met countless of pet parents that are unable to walk their dogs regardless of the dog’s weight, age, breed, etc. My most popular behavior modification class is, Loose Leash Walking with Your Dog.

No Afternoon Walks During Summer Time
Walking a dog in the afternoon when it’s hot and humid is certainly dangerous and I don’t recommend it, that is why when Summer comes to MA, I only walk dogs in the morning or evening. We all need our exercise, but you shouldn’t put yourself and your dog in harm’s way to do so….

To Walk Or Not To Walk – Abby’s Dilemma
That was Abby looking out the window the day we had a northeastern coming our way. I did keep her busy, but I am pretty sure she would have preferred to go for a walk. Abby and I love to walk, but please be extra careful when you are out walking because drivers may not…
Walking With Abby
If there’s one thing Abby and I – Ok sometimes some of Abby’s friends as well – do is walk. The above picture was taken in Plymouth, MA. I go through shoes really fast, as you can imagine, but I enjoy walking with dogs. Walking is a great exercise for you, pet parent, and your…
Raising Abby To Be A Balanced Dog
To say that I do my best to take Abby every place I can would be an understatement. Here are some of the things I do with her: Since I hate with a passion going to the supermarket, while Cynthia goes shopping for groceries, Abby and I go to explore the neighborhood. Abby accompanies me…
