Longsnouts Dog Training

Longsnouts Dog Training We would love for all dogs to be as joyful as Sir Winston Longsnoutl!

[We're named for a member of the Longsnout canine clan, but shortsnouts are welcome, too!]

In December of 2013, we - randomly, yet driven by synchronicity - had the opportunity to foster a purebred Black & Tan Coonhound found as a stray on the streets of southeast Detroit. He was taken under the wing of American Black & Tan Coonhound Rescue, his stay with us was coordinated via SE Michigan's resc

ue network, and he was named Sir Winston Longsnout. Despite being dumped, ridden with worms, and ridiculously skinny, the 7-9 month old male was the most naturally joyful animal ever encountered and our week with him was a whirlwind of tailwags, dog smiles, romps in the snowy backyard, and cuddles. We offer relationship-building tools via reward-based training in the form of: training walks, runs of all lengths, 1:1 training sessions, and small group training classes (coming in 2015!). It will be an honor to partner with you and your canine(s) to help bring that joy to your relationship.

Now’s the time to call your vet!

As I was refilling pill boxes, I realized we’re *past* time for our annual reminder to call your vet! Why?!

We have already had some *doozies* when it comes to storms this spring. Between an actual tornado, some of the LOUDEST thunder boomers, and several two-a-day storm sets, is *over*it*!!!

We have “perfected” the storm cocktail for Kenna and Cilla, but, with aging, Dougal is even more sensitive to some of these storms. Do we have advice? Sure.

HOWEVER, talking to your vet and trialing meds to see what works best for *your* dogs is key.

Also, July 4th is quickly approaching and we can guarantee fireworks.

So, call your vet and make an appointment.
(If they recommend Benadryl and ACE, get a 2nd opinion)

Not to brag, but ALL dogs got walks before 9am. AND I threw the ball for another. I’ve also been mostly awake since the storm hit at 1:00am. That thunder!!

I may get a few moments of quiet. I may also never stop sweating.

Stay cool out there! 🥵🥵🥵🥵

Boys v Girls.

Some of you know that I may (100%) prefer boy dogs. You all likely know that there are a LOT of girl dogs at Wildling Corner. A LOT.

Even though he’s going to live forever, I did mildly chastise Dougal for (maybe) someday leaving me with SO MUCH ESTROGEN to manage. The intensity, dramatics, and demanding natures of girls dogs…it’s…a lot. (Or is it just MY girl dogs?! 🤣🤣🤣)

Over a full moon bonfire last night, Janet and I created a band for them: Dougal and the Estrogens. Can *only* be played at full volume!!!

Happy Monday, y’all!

Mollee *loves* to steal things.

Often it’s items she perceives as ‘naughty’ so she guarantees some sort of attention. Things like a loaded pincushion, 100s of socks, a skein (or 3) of yarn, a package of sewing needles, my fave chapsticks, a package of earplugs…you get the idea.

We work HARD at bringing the things to me for a look-see and a snack trade! Sometimes I’ll surprise her by giving the item right back to her.

Like this Apple. 💯 snatched from the very back of the counter. She also brought to me for a check (with side eye), so I gave it back to her.

How’s your Sunday?

Two of today’s shelter friends.

Mrs. Fletcher is a gentle, grey-faced lady with some pep in her step.

Vanellope is the *cutest* trip hazard, bean-sized beebs. NOTHING fazed her.

Both ladies were social, food motivated, and loved the sunshine.

Go git you one!

“Play wiv me!” - Mollee

As we’re learning to live with each other, I’m starting to understand her conversations. In general, she’s doing a *marvelous* job learning to live in a structured, yet varied household. She’s getting much better at ‘hanging out’!

Sometimes, though, a girlie wants to play (or be the focus). Out of the corner of my eye this morning, I saw her pick something up, pause, and run away. (Tell Number 1) I was eating breakfast, so didn’t follow.

She came back, paused in the hallway to stare at me (still eating), and went into the bathroom. She’s been rummaging around in there a bit lately, so I called her name, and she ran out of the bathroom, towards the living room. (Tell Number 2).

I put down my egg sammy to investigate. And, yes, I found the Polka Dot Pony on the couch with the (CLEAN) backup toilet brush. VERRRRRRY proud of herself for getting my attention!

I reclaimed the brush and we played….with another toy.

How do your dogs engage you in play?
