I'm back! At least for today to answer a question I'm getting a lot, "Where'd you go?"
Short answer... I shaved the mohawk, went to school and became an EMT. As such, I only work 3 (incredibly long) shifts a week, so I still dedicate the other 4 days to working with pups! I still proudly work with and do training for my fantastic (and patient) private clients. Hopefully, Steve and I will get back in the studio and start recording For The Love Of Dog podcast episodes!
Since the pandemic began, my desire to step up (or down depending on your level of Dog Lover) to helping people has grown. Not unlike my dog training career, becoming a healthcare worker in this field is rewarding and no two days are alike!
I assure everyone, I will always work with dogs. And whenever I can, I will answer the training questions you send. Thanks for all the love and support!

Dogs Dont Like Fireworks! But Can Tolerate Them.
Every year 4th of July is the single largest day for pets escaping and ending up in shelters. Distressed dogs, panicked by the fireworks, escape through doors, windows and fences. While the shelters make every effort to contact the owners, some will not be located in time and their pet EUTHANASIZED!
Here are simple steps to take to help avoid this happening to you and your furry friends!
• Give your pups a long, fast paced walk to wear them out before the festivities begin!
• Keep animals securely inside when fireworks start. Do not allow panicked dogs to wait near a door. They will elope the first opportunity that the door opens! Windows should be closed and drapes/blinds drawn.
•Crank up the TV volume to drown out Fireworks sounds! If your dog likes watching Animal Planet or listening to classic rock, hook them up!
• Does Fido have 2 forms of ID? Make sure dog has a collar with a name tag firmly attached. Occasionally, they are able to escape a collar, so a microchip is a great backup they can't ditch!
* Ensure all contact info is correct (most vets can verify microchip info).
• Have someone sit inside with the dog(s) while fireworks are going off.
The goal is to get the dog to ignore the fireworks and act normally... What should you do? This might seem strange to some of you , but you should ignore the fireworks and act normal!
This does NOT mean to hold and comfort them through their nervousness. That is only going to reinforce the nervous behavior! You can play games, tug, do training or tricks, things to keep their mind busy! Do anything you would do on any other Wednesday night.
If you want a dog to do anything, it is as simple as creating a positive association to it. If done right, fireworks could be only a few treats away from never bothering your dog again.
We wish YOU and YOUR PACK a Happy 4th of July!!!

Come on! Does Your Dog Really Need Starbucks?
For those of you not familiar with one of the worst consumerism products for dogs, let me introduce you to the Puppuccino. Also known as a Pup Cup, this commercially produced cup of "whipped cream" is reported to contain cream, mono and diglycerides, and carrageenan (found to cause insulin and GI issues).
By using their "Nutritional Facts" scale, you can deduct the coffee from a drink containing their whipped topping, multiply the quantity (to equal the size of a Puppuccino), and see what it's giving your dog nutritionally:
120-240 calories
12-24g of fat, of whichever 7-14g are saturated
4-8g of carbs
3-6g of sugar
1-2g of protein
40-80mg of cholesterol
10-20mg of sodium
There are variations of the concoction that are said to have "8 pumps of vanilla syrup" infused into it. Think we are talking about ACTUAL vanilla? Syrup ingredients include: Sugar, Water, Natural Flavors, Preservative: Potassium Sorbate (E202), Citric Acid (E330), Color: Caramel (E150d). Hmmmm....
Sugar is the first ingredient listed? Now the total intake would be up to around 400 calories and 44g of sugar you are giving your dog!
Dairy surprise: Mammals only consume milk during infancy. Among the 5,416 species of mammals, none consume milk as an adult, except humans!
So knowing that most dogs are to some degree lactose intolerant, that it contains chemicals shown to be dangerous to animals in studies, and that the nutritional info shows almost everything we try to avoid by giving a quality food diet, would you give your dog a Puppuccino?
I am not going to make generalizations as to why (but if anyone would care to enlighten me with a comment, I'd love to hear!). I will say... DOGS ARE NOT PEOPLE, they do not feel hip by drinking Starbucks and anybody on social media that cares about your dog's health should not Like seeing it eating a cup of processed crap.
If you feel the need to take your pup to hang out at a coffee shop... Do Fido a favor and just hook them up a cool cup of their chic triple reverse osmosis filtered water. They will be just as thankful and a lot healthier for it.
