Dog Training….Unraveled
Heehee - my dog cracks me up. Sometimes I am glad I don’t have a yard so I don’t have to teach Dyson that it’s not always appropriate to dig. The canyon is free game - he can dig till his hearts content.
While the rest of the world waits breathlessly for spring to start sharing […]

Hey Internet, Dave sent me this
“here’s to hoping your (human) baby does not get shredded and eaten by your dogs. if so, you’ll know who’s fault it is.”
Not only does he use proper capitalization, he’s so kind and caring in his wishes. Apparently Dave doesn’t have much to do if he’s sending cranky emails to […]

I happened to look down at Jester today and suddenly realized it’s been ten years. Ten years that he has faithfully followed me around, indulging in my every whim, making sure no crumbs are left sad and homeless, dutifully curling up next to me every night under the covers. Ten years. That’s a long time. […]

So much is changing. My doggies are getting their very own human baby this fall. They are thrilled at the prospect of many days of cheerios getting gleefully tossed in their direction by tiny hands.

With people who book their dog for a stay at my HOME, not a kennel, over a month in advance, and then call THE DAY BEFORE THE DOG IS TO BE HERE and cancel. Never mind that I was counting on that money, or that I turned down other dogs because I limit the number […]

This post pretty much sums it up. Because this kind of shit really happens, people really are THAT dumb.
Check back into her training children posts, and you will wonder if she is actually a dog trainer in disguise. Just swap out child for dog and you have a perfect plan for training everyone in […]

To get to work with a dog and family who are actually invested in each other. I picked up a new client this week, and wow, what a nice dog. Nice people. Just an all around lovely experience. Young male Rhodesian Ridgeback, not a breed I’d generally expect to be sweet, but this dog is […]
