If the F word offends anyone, I am way more offended at the harm and scare your off leash dog is doing out in the world to other, leashed dogs. And to people who have good reasons to not want your dog charging into them.

BE the responsible owners - love your dog so much you don't want it to be smashed to bits by a car - LEASH UP.

Choose anyone who handles your dog with the same depth of care and questionning as you would a surgeon operating on your child.

There are currently NO licensing requirements to call yourself a professional dog trainer and anyone - ANYONE - can put up a shingle today and magic presto begin "training" your dog.

Learn to read through the marketing BS force trainers love to use - such as the blatant lie that "shock collars don't hurt" - tell that to the judge who recently said yes they do and awarded claims to this fact.

Just because someone has a dog or lives with a dog - that does not make them a trainer or skilled or educated enough to get anywhere near your dog.

And PLEASE never let a military style "trainer" get anywhere near your pet dogs. No dog needs a harsh hand - even the big dogs. Dogs must feel safe to learn and punishment does nothing to quell anxiety or build trust but it sure is creating a ton of scared and reactive dogs.

Q: When can you start training your puppy?
A: As soon as they feel safe in their new home with you. Safety comes first - then we train. Always.
