Ace has made great progress with loose-leash walking over the last 25 days. Here are some changes I’ve noticed with his heeling: – When I tell Ace “OK!” he chooses to walk at my side. “OK” is Ace’s free word. It means we’re done working for the time being. He enjoys running ahead of me [...]

I don’t treat my pets the same. I live with three animals: my mutt Ace, my gray tabby cat Scout and Josh’s orange tabby Beamer. Josh and I have not reached the point in our relationship where the pets are “ours.” Instead, it’s my dog, my cat and his cat. We take advantage of this, [...]

One of my dog-running clients wanted her dog to socialize and practice walking with another dog, so Ace and I met up with them Saturday. Ace was the perfect match because he is calm and submissive.

Every few weeks That Mutt will feature a local homeless pet. It’s an idea I haven’t tried before. You can see the current pet Sasha in the upper right hand corner. I’m not sure how often I will choose a new dog to feature. I might just wait until Sasha gets a home. In the [...]
