A Little R & R For Your Dog

I know, I know. I am always a big advocate on walking your dog, but you also need to give her enough time to relax and recuperate.  Add to that a nice comfortable bed and a blanket, and your dog will be in doggie heaven.  Enjoy your weekend!

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!

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.  Depending on the dog and handler, getting a dog to walk properly could take one session or a few sessions.  Why? …

Decorating A Christmas Tree With Doggies

This year – for the very first time – we decided to include Abby and Champagne in the decoration of our Christmas tree.  Abby, as you can see, took the job of decorator very serious and was micromanaging Cynthia’s every move.

Belated Happy New Year 2015

This was the first year we were not home.  Instead we went to Boston to visit family and did a little sightseeing while there.  As you can see, Alex could care less about the ducks around her. It was funny to see Alex totally uninterested in all the real ducks around her, but once she…

Have A Great Life Handsome Dexter

We met Dexter, a very handsome Boxer mix, about 2 years ago during a pack walk in Annapolis, MD and the impression I got of him was that he was a quiet and gentle boy and you know what?  I was right.  Dexter stayed with us for almost 3 weeks this time, and I was…

Dexter’s Energy Level

When we first met Dexter, a handsome boxer mix, I thought that he was a high energy dog, but I was wrong.  Dexter is actually a medium-level energy dog.  Why am I talking about this?  Because your level of energy and that of your future or current dog is very important in order to make…
