September has hit us quickly this year. It seems the summers go by faster and faster every year, just like our parents used to tell us, time goes by too quickly, enjoy it while you are young. We often get out of wack with our dogs over the summer months, lax on schedules, short onContinue reading “Back To School Activities For Dogs”
Dog Etiquette
It’s a thing. Or at least I believe it should be again. It was once upon a time. Let’s discuss a little, shall we? I am a strong believer in dog etiquette, especially out in the wilds of suburbia.

Four Simple Things You Can Implement to Change Your Dogs Behaviour
If you are having issues with your dog I implore you to try the below. Most problems that I see arise are due to “over doing” attention with dogs.

Elevator Etiquette. The most important part you ask? Is not letting dogs rush the door.

It’s Ok Not To – Dog Training Milton
Everyone has different goals with their dog’s training and that’s ok. Not everyone needs high level obedience, and in fact, a majority of people are really just looking for their dog to do three main things; come when called, walk nicely on leash, and hold themselves in a position when asked. And within these threeContinue reading “It’s Ok Not To – Dog Training Milton”
