Summer is practically over and seems like it just started! I guess we should be grateful for the weather not being too hot, but a happy medium would have been nice. I hope everyone is having a nice Summer. I have been enjoying my Summer but very busy raising a new puppy! Venom, our 14 week old standard Dachshund puppy is doing GREAT! We are having a blast with him. If you are interested in following his blog please...

A dog is an instinctively aggressive creature. In the wild, aggression came very useful: dogs needed aggression to hunt, to protect other creatures, and defend resources such as food, a place to sleep, and a second. The selective breeding over centuries has refined to a minimum and this trait significantly, but there is not only to around him: dogs are physically capable of inflicting serious harm (just look at the teeth!) Because that is how they survived and evolved. And Mother Nature is very clever - it is difficult to counter the power of instinct!...

I got a call this week from a woman who has a four month-old puppy that is showing signs of anxiety and fearfulness around people. I was shocked to hear that a few people had told her that it might be too late to do anything about it. A four month-old puppy? Too late? Then she told me one of the people that had told her this was a vet. I almost dropped the phone with that piece of information. She went on to tell me she also has another dog (a year and a half old Australian Cattle Dog, I believe) that is also fearful of people. She was not interested...
While I was spending a couple of hours with Jets owners, demonstrating everything that shed been taught prior to them taking her home, Paul decided to take the dogs out for me.Thankfully he had his camera with him for Harry ! If ever a dog epitomised an animal letting of steam, he does. With tremendous grace, he absolutely charges over the field ...... though thankfully understands the recall !Play with me BrookeHarry is in pursuit of Brooke, a beautifully...
Whether your pooch is just chewing the corner of the carpet, or totally dismantling your favorite chair, there really are only two good answers to why your dog is being destructive. 1) he’s bored out of his mind, 2) he’s really not ready to be unsupervised, or (most likely) both. Most of the time the dog is not at fault for the destructive behavior – you are. I know what you’re thinking: how on Earth can it be your fault the dog ate your couch? Well, once we analyze the facts it becomes obvious. How much exercise did your dog get prior to any destructive...
A few hours a week I work at a local NJ doggie daycare. A couple of weeks ago I was there hanging with a pack of about twenty-five dogs when a new dog was dropped off to join the fun. As soon as this dog entered the play area, one of the other dogs lunged, barked and “went at” this new dog. The five seconds or so it took me to separate the dogs sounded like they were tearing each other apart. Once I got control of the dog that was instigating it (the dog that was already there) and allowed him to get back to a calm state of mind, I let him go....
Happy New Year!Wow, can you believe it is already 2015? I cant! Last year flew by and while it was a great year in some respects, it was a tough one for my family as well. Looking forward to what 2015 will bring. I am going to be focusing on my classes a lot this year. I really enjoy teaching group classes, it is probably the favorite part of my job. I will still be offering private training, but will likely be focusing...

I have news for you; living with us humans is not that easy. Our dogs are tremendously patient with us and put up with all of our bizarre customs and wacky ways. They have abandoned their life in the wild to come into the human world and live with us. Although they don’t understand our language, can’t comprehend our lifestyle, and have absolutely no idea why we keep making them sit when they’re really not tired. In spite of all this, they still happily bound into our lives with endless unconditional love. We on the other hand, are not so accommodating....

The newest dog training craze is clicker dog training. A clicker is a small rectangular plastic box with a metal button on top that clicks, hence the name clicker. It’s the type of training that the dog decides whether or not it suits him. There have been a lot of success stories with clickers, but with my dog he just didn’t want to know!Researchers in dog studies believe that the clicker promotes enforced training, without punishment! As we all know when we do something good and get rewarded for it we are going to do the same again, a dog thinks...

There are of course many reasons for owners to want a calm, obedient and faithful dog. For one thing, obedient and trained dogs are happier dogs, less likely to get into tussles with people or with other dogs. Another reason is that many communities require that the dogs living in their neighborhoods be well trained. This is especially true for many breeds thought to have aggression and behavior problems – dog breeds like pit bulls and rottweilers for instance.And of course, training your dog well will also make he or she a much better family companion,...

After a "forced" day off for Christmas ( I had to cook dinner for 9 so there was a reason ! ), it was back on with the wellies and away we go.Unused paths allowed me to take the dogs through woods and along the muddiest of tracks, and if I could get through, so could everyone else !!The smallest member of the party displayed the most determination. While the other dogs simply walked through, Honey had to negotitate her way through and only needed...
