Happy and safe new year!

As we begin to celebrate the new year and decade I want to remind everyone to keep dogs and cats and other pets and stay animals in mind. They don’t know what that noise is, they get scared and alarmed. I get alarmed sometimes and I know what that noise is, imagine how it feels…

My protectors

Indy and Sandy are supposed to protect me from harm, smelling danger and barking to alert me, chasing bad people away and keeping harmful creatures away. That’s not the main reason I want them in my life, but I thought being protective was kind of an added bonus to having beautiful and loving dogs in…

Walking in a new neighborhood

Last year I was dealing with sensory- hypersensitivity while I walked my dogs, even when they where almost one year old. We were able to mostly control this by always walking them inside the building parking lot every day, where they didn’t have too many distractions, except the cats that were sometimes hanging around or…

Indy and Sandy’s new home

They all handled the hurricane well and behaved the whole time, no barking, howling or fighting, which made the whole hurricane experience not that bad.  The bad part came after the hurricane with no power and water coming and going. Before the water goes…

Dog Training Webinar

I just finished watching a 2 hour long webinar called Service dog secrets to a calmer dog by Chet Womach, dog trainer from The Dog Training Secret. This webinar really caught my attention, I don’t need my dogs to be service dogs but if I would just like to get them to go out without pulling or bark…
