Current legislation proposition HB2342 is before the House Ways and Means Committee in Massachusetts. The bill would limit training tools and training techniques for dangerous dogs. This bill is a bad idea. Please email our state representatives if you are a balanced trainer or if you have benefited from real dog training. Follow the link below to the IACP website and consider becoming a member of the IACP.

Dog owner Molly sits down with dog trainers Leah and Lori to discuss dietary changes for Molly's rescue dog Sam. Sam dealt with chronic diarrhea and Molly addressed this issue by working with Leah. Together, we changed up Sam's diet by adding whole food recipes and found a commercial kibble that worked for him.
