GOOD MANNERS CLASSES STARTING APRIL 15th People used to think that dog training was only about teaching dogs obedience commands, usually through the use of heavy-handed punishment-based techniques. Increasingly, dog owners are beginning to recognize that there is sometimes life-saving value in finding the perfect trainer to help point them and their dogs in the right direction and provide much-needed guidance. 5 Reasons Why You Should Train Your Dog... 1. To Build a Positive Relationship 2. To Teach Life Skills 3. To Increase Sociability 4. To Avoid Problem Behaviors 5. For Loyalty and Companionship People who make time to teach their dogs lead more fulfilling lives with their canine companions. A healthy balance of learning manners, encouraging sociability and providing your dog with the right kind of outlets will ensure their success. People who fail to give their dogs the education they need are doing them a great disservice and will have problems in the future. The learning process does not have to be costly or intense, and the more enjoyable it is for the both of you, the better the results will be.

I say with love and no judgments. I care about the wellbeing of all of our pups out there. It’s very hard for me to see this daily and I feel like it’s my duty ...to educate. I hope the below information helps : If you don’t have a RELIABLE recall on your dog, don’t let them off leash. Do not let your dog walk up to another without that owners consent. (Especially if that dog or both dogs are on leash) Yelling/saying he’s friendly puts that other owner in an awkward situation, they don’t have time to properly assess the situation, and leash on leash introductions without proper training can be bad. Dogs speak dog and they will correct another dog for poor behavior. Dogs walking straight up to one another is rude in the dog world and it is considered a challenge. A proper introduction with a well socialized dog is sniffing the butt (I know gross ) My dogs and others on leash shouldn’t have to defend themselves on a daily basis. Your dog is an animal and instincts will kick in. If you say, He’s friendly, but his body language is this picture- he needs to be recalled immediately. Or if the other dogs body language is this picture. Use the ETA assessment. Yes, any dog is capable of this, even your friendly dog. ETA = Eyes, Tail and Alignment. There are lots of subtleties and exceptions but this is how I make real-life decisions. Eyes Staring ain’t caring. The longer a dog stares at your dogclose-mouthed and deadpanthe less friendly that dog probably is. Not sure? Imagine another human staring at you the way your dog is being stared at and you’ll be on the right track. Tail The higher the tail, especially the BASE of the tail (where it meets the dog’s body), the more excited the dog is. Excited is not the same as friendly. At all. A friendly tail is wagging big wags and the BASE OF IT IS ABOUT EVEN WITH THE DOGS SPINE. A wide, low wag or a happy circular wag are both excellent signs of good social intent. A stiff tail held straight up nearly vibrating is a pretty reliable sign of scary intent. So if you see a raised stiff motionless/vibrating tail. Steer clear and/or resent your dogs brain by having him/her come back to you. Alignment What is alignment? Think arrow. The straighter the dog’s path of travel toward you, the stiffer they are, the more arrow-like they appear the more risk there is. A friendly dog is soft and wiggles when they wag. They often arc or curve slightly as they approach. An intense, assertive dog is not soft and does not wiggle, they do not generally arc or curve in their approach. An arrow-like dog may lie down as you approach. That is not friendly. Think lion hunting and you’ll be closer to the truth most times. See how intently this dog is staring? Ears forward. Mouth closed. See how the base of the tail is sticking up and the tail is stiff. See how arrow- like this dogs head-to-tail alignment is? *This is NOT a breed thing. Boxers are usually friendly, social dogs. This is just a pic I found that illustrates dog ETA well. There are friendly dogs in every breed/mix and unfriendly dogs in every breed/mix. If you need help with your pup, I’m here. I’ve been there and it’s my life’s mission to help and educate!

I talked with Dr. John Robb about the dangers of over-vaccination, and why it’s still a mandatory practice despite its life-threatening effects to our pets. Read this to learn more:
