Pawsitive Tricks

The secret to a well trained dog lies in innovative training.  So why not train a few tricks?  Who doesn't love a dog that can shake, roll over, ring a bell, or weave through your legs? Why not turn boring commands and redundant training sessions into fun and entertainment?  It is a great way to get involved and to stay involved in your dog's training program.

Leader of the Pack

The pack mentality of dogs makes leadership, and who that leader is, vitally important. Unlike humans who often strive to be # 1 in their social hierarchy, dogs aren’t driven to be # 1; dogs just clearly need to know where they are in it.   Continue reading >>>

Tips for Walking Your Dog

Cold Day Activities



Your dog still needs exercise when it is too cold to go outside to play.  And this winter has been the coldest I can remember.  With 3 dogs I have had to provide more entertainment for them indoors as the outdoors has been just too darn cold!  Your dog needs mental and physical stimulation to help relieve bordom.  Here are a few activities I provide for my dogs.

Food Dispensing Toys - These toys are invaluable bordom busters.  While rubber Kongs are classic toys and can be stuffed with a great variety of treats and tasties, in the last few years the food dispensing toy market has greatly expanded.  There are different shapes, textures, and sizes for any size dog.  Even if your dog is of the "destroyer" type, there are toys out there with a money back guarantee. 

Play Indoor Fetch
Make it more challenging by throwing a tennis ball up or down the stairs.  Your dog's legs will get a good workout.  Plus, he will love the extra playtime and attention.
