This is an exciting talk today. It's to encourage a team new to training and filled with very advanced subtleties in training for the ultimate in teamwork. If you only listen to one talk up until now, let this be the one. It’s my favorite. I love what I get to do. If you'd like to share (and I hope you do), click here. 

Life changes such as moving, divorce, military off overseas, child to college, a death of a family pet may have a big impact on your dog. Knowing what to look for and how to help her through a life transition is a gift of love. Often you may be going through a transition as well. This podcast is an excellent reference to help you navigate the most positive transition for your dog. Even if you don't have a dog in your family this is helpful information for you to support loved ones going through transformation.

More and more I’m seeing how businesses and areas are catering to our beloved dogs. Examples include work, lodging, neighborhood communities and even cities. Dogs are being embraced and included for the wonderful life enhancers that they are. To be welcomed into these exclusive environments, the powers that be are asking for interviews to meet and greet and resumes to learn more about your best friend.

Learn what you need and how to prepare to make a great impression with your dog. A little effort on the front end will benefit you greatly and ensure you both are at your best resulting in invitations to the highly desired dog offerings.

Share your experience (and creativity) with your dog interviews and resumes:

There are many, many ways to train a dog. Ask around and you will hear a spectrum of answers from the sane to crazy, kind and not so kind, controlling or no training at all that people call "absorbing" while living together. (This last one is the #1 reason dogs are surrendered.) 

Listen to this simple and incredible way to get your dog's attention, help them learn cause and effect and make good choices. Develop a wonderful loving relationship built on trust and care and choice. You will both grow and benefit from it.  

UPDATE: A few hours later we were able to easily and quietly do the first complete nail trim. Everyone relaxed and in agreement. YES!

Remember how I glowed about the dog park in Mount Pleasant? Well, Sullivan's Island Beach is just as fabulous! Actually it's way more! (Plus a few more beaches in the area are dog friendly.)

Wonderful people, wonderful socialized dogs, fantastic beach!  It's hard to leave.  Do note there are restrictions and licensing so do adhere to the rules and stay out of the dog house and keep it fun fur everyone. 

One week into the trial and experiencing positive results! For someone who's been encouraging the use for dogs, why am I surprised ? Because I'm doing the exact same treatment along side the canine. I observe positive change in the dog and now I'm observing positive change in me! We are 1/3 of the way through and not easing up at all. It's wonderful. Check it out.

I admit I'd gotten disillusioned with dog parks. I've been to so many that turned into bad hoods. We've experienced it - bully dogs, scared dogs, out of control dogs, dog poop all over, dirty water bowls, parents busy socializing and not paying attention to the dog experience. Then I was encouraged to note caring people speaking up in attempts to correct the dysfunction. Then there were the few who became very aggressive in their corrective actions and turned bad in their own way. 

I kept to the hiking trails many didn't use and we enjoyed out outings.

I came to Mount Pleasant, SC to visit a dear friend and she said the best dog park is Middle St. Pearl, Gabe and I headed over. 

My canine guest and I are taking the Rescue Remedy treatment for 13 days. This unique and natural healing treatment will address his recent behavior changes that do not serve him and for me, well I have my own behaviors I'd like treatment for. We have 13 days to take the treatments together 4x/day, 4 drops per dose. We've diluted the remedy so it's even stronger. There are absolutely no negative effects. Listen to how we can tell when to stop taking the remedy and follow along and we'll give updates- both human and canine.
