If you have to ask whether or not your dog is getting enough exercise, the answer is no, he is not. Most of us realize and admit our dogs don’t get enough exercise, not even close. We accept that and live with the consequences. That is, we live with hyper, anxious, bored, loud, whining, obnoxious, [...]

Before agreeing to foster Vixen, I was informed about her issues with being in a kennel and left home alone. I know that in order to increase her chances of finding a permanent home soon, I need to work with her on kennel training. If more people would train their puppies to stay in a [...]

One of my goals for this loose-leash walking challenge was to be able to take my dog out in all situations without a pinch collar or Gentle Leader and have him under control.

A good way to get my dog to pay attention to me is to turn around and walk the other way without saying anything. I do this when Ace (not pictured) sneaks ahead on a walk, but I also do it when he is “free” and gets too far away. When Ace is off leash [...]
