Long Lines – Dog Training Milton
I love long lines. I believe they have so many beneficial uses with dogs. The real magic of long lines comes on walks and daily outings with your dogs.

Five Things I’ve Learned From Over a Decade of Helping People Learn to Train Their Dogs
“You’re not training our dog, you are training us!” is something I hear often during classes and private sessions.

We, as trainers, may beContinue reading “Five Things I’ve Learned From Over a Decade of Helping People Learn to Train Their Dogs”

We Need To Talk
Those are dreaded words, aren’t they? Don’t worry, I’m not breaking up with you, but we need to have a discussion about control and etiquette. Over the past couple days I’ve run into a few situations where I could only shake my head and try to be “nice”. Two involved dogs, and two involved kids.Continue reading “We Need To Talk”
