This probably doesn’t come as a surprise to you

This probably doesn’t come as a surprise to you but I ❤️ love dogs.

I grew up around dogs - they have always been part of my family. Over the years, they have taught me so many valuable lessons, showed me unconditional love, and helped me nurture my love of dogs into my dream job as a dog trainer.

Zack, one of my first dogs, really showed me how much a dog can be part of a family. When I was about eight, I got lost in the woods behind my house. I was scared and not sure what to do so I told Zack to take me home - and he did!

From little min-pins to big, beautiful Dobermans I’ve had my fair share of adventures with my dogs over the years. If you want to know more, check out my blog the Pooch Press and read about Major, Buddha, Apollo and Willow.

Do you consider dogs to be part of your family?

Do you feel comfortable telling your dog “No”?

Do you feel comfortable telling your dog “No”?

“No” is not necessarily a command. It’s more of an interrupter (like its positive counterpart “good dog”) that precedes a punishment or negative consequence. Teaching your dog “no” or an equivalent verbal cue like “hey!” or “ah ah!” is definitely required for training.

Let’s say you are working with a dog who reacts poorly to other dogs while walking on-leash. You head out for a walk and see a dog coming towards you down the path. Before your dog starts barking and carrying on you say “no” and pair that with an appropirately firm correction like a “pop” on their leash or a zip from their e-collar.

Not only have you distracted them from the dog and given them a chance to correct their behaviour, over time, you will condition your dog to respond to the verbal cue without the correction. Remember, dogs like to know where the boundaries are. It’s your job to set them with verbal cues and appropriate corrections. Don’t be afraid to tell your dog no!

How has having a pet changed your life? I have

How has having a pet changed your life?

I have had dogs in my life ever since I was a child. For me, dogs make like a little better in so many ways.

👉🏼 Dogs offer unconditional love and never judge you for making mistakes or feeling low.
👉🏼 Their goofy personalities and quirks always make me smile.
👉🏼 The responsibility of caring for my dogs has always helped motivate me to keep going, even when I’m not at my best.
👉🏼 Dogs help us humans build community - just look at our Pack Walks!

Has having a pet brought something special to your life? Tell us about it in the comments and let’s celebrate our pets.

Does your dog like to dance? Dancing can be a fun

Does your dog like to dance?

Dancing can be a fun way to spend time with your pooch. The sound and movement is exciting for them and can bring them just as much joy as it does people.

Just like when your play tug-of-war or fetch, there need to be some ground rules for dancing with your pooch. Make sure you know how to spot if they are getting too excited and help them learn the difference between dancing with someone and jumping all over them. They should follow your lead!

What’s your favourite song to dance to with your dog? 🎶

The story of Buddy the Guide Dog amazed me the fir

The story of Buddy the Guide Dog amazed me the first time I read it.

It’s too good not to share.

Buddy was a female German Sheppard and the first official seeing-eye dog. She was owned by 20-year-old Morris Frank, originally from Tennesse. In 1928, Morris and Buddy spent a month in Switzerland training. Then, they made their way to New York where according to @the_bark_mag they were put to the test. 🦮

“The previous month had bolstered Frank’s native Southern swagger, and he boasted that Buddy could take him anywhere. “Even across West Street?” they asked. Known locally as “Death Avenue,” it was one of the city’s most hazardous thoroughfares. Frank reportedly declared, “Show me to it, brother, and Buddy will take me across it.”

And you know what? She did!

The rest is history and now, service dogs are a normal part of everyday life.
