Space Saver…
Alright, this past weekend (well, Friday/Saturday) I attended full-day dog behavior seminars with Sarah Kalnajs. I need today to "digest" everything, but tomorrow (hopefully), I'll post about the experience... so hang on! Happy Training!

Alright, so you gave your dog a once over and have discovered he is not as lean as he could be....now what? Well, that sort of depends just how much extra weight your dog is carrying. If your dog packed on a pound or two of winter weight (for a medium sized dog),...

Fit Fido or Fat Fido About two years ago I had Shayne at a park hiking when I was approached by a woman and her lab. As she approached I began shoveling food in Shayne's face to keep her from being too concerned about the lab. Out of absolutely nowhere, this woman...
read moreRoot of handler frustration…
Today I took the dogs to the farm again. We are supposed to have wicked afternoon storms for the next few days so exercise must be done in the morning and the farm is one of the ways the pups get knocked out for a long time on not too much exercise (only two hours at...
