Harmony is what I promote in our home. Animals should be able to eat near each other without bothering one another.

Is your dog chewing things they shouldn't?
Are you tired of fixing things that are destroyed in the home? Does your dog like their crate? Is your dog bored and they need an outlet to release energy and/or need some mental enrichment?

I can help you with these!

Note: Our dogs haven't been crated in years because I trust them and they are older now. They do go in their crates if we travel or at the groomer so they are used to them and love them. Well, one of our lovely dogs whom is 10 years old decided to find his own entertainment while I was away for a few hours. He decided to consume around 43 Milkbone dog biscuits that were inside the bags! (Pic attached). I had some other things inside the bags as well but he could care less about those. This is why it is important to crate your dogs and do not feel like you are being mean to them, it is for their protection and your peace of mind.

I guess I wasn't giving him enough stimulation because I was busy helping my clients with their dogs. For now on I will make sure he is stimulated in some way either with puzzles as I leave, hiding treats around the home, giving him a Kong or something before I go.
