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…

Treating Dog Anxiety
Anxiety in dogs is something that pet parents have a hard time dealing with or recognizing for that matter. These are some of the signs a dog will exhibit when anxious: pacing, drooling, barking, destroying things, nipping, etc. I always recommend for pet parents to have a vet do a physical exam to rule out…
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,…
Kibble Or Fresh Food?
Are you just as confused as other pet parents when it comes to deciding what to feed your canine companion? Don’t feel bad, you are not alone. Alex, our first dog, ate mostly kibble til she got to be about 10 years old or so. Because I saw how much her mobility was declining, after…
Annapolis, MD Sailboat Show
I enjoy going to downtown Annapolis, and that’s what we did this past weekend not knowing that it was time for the annual sailboat show. To say that there was a lot of people would be an understatement, and because of that I asked Cynthia to wear her mask, and only remove it for this…
Do You Speak Dog?
I believe that all pet parents speak dog-some are quite fluent while others are just learning-even if you think otherwise. Once we have lived with a dog for a while, we figure out her likes, dislikes, and quirks. In the above picture, all of them are in the traveling mode. Easy to see and figure…
Dogs And Separation Anxiety
Separation anxiety in dogs coming from shelters is very common and it takes time to get it under control, but it can be done.
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!
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, My Social Butterfly
Abby is one of the friendliest and most playful dogs I’ve met, but even like that I continue to expose her to different dogs – yes even pit bulls – in order to brush up on her doggie manners. Regardless of the size, breed, age, etc., of your dog, socializing your dog should be an…
