Anyone looking for a daycare or boarding facility for your dog I recommend What A Good Dog. I don’t know about their trainers not that it matters since I’m sure you’d use me but as far daycare and boarding goes definitely use those guys. The owner of company Mary is maybe one of the kindest people I’ve ever met I was very impressed with her and it’s because of her being the owner I’d recommend that place. When the head Honcho the big cheese the HNIC the boss is Mary Remer a women that cares a lot about quality you can be sure the people working for can be trusted. Their a bit expensive but it’s worth it.

I spent 20 years doing good things and I was willing to sacrifice my immediate happiness for the greater good. I didn’t half ass my dedication to doing good things I put everything on the line because I believed it was making a difference. After believing something so strongly for so long to the point where it was an impossibility things were not that way I had learn very quickly I was totally wrong . I had no clue how to live life now and I understood nothing. That caused problems for me and threw me into a depression i doubt most people can even relate with. The next 5 or so were bad and I disappointed a lot of people a couple of them were really really really important to me and I’ll never get over doing that to them. Now I’m close to normal again although I still have a tiny bit of hope everything is the way I once believed. I’m not removing any comments no matter how bad because ultimately I’ve done far more positive than negative and I mean far far more so it is what it is. I’m sorry for anyone I’ve hurt and believe me when I say anyone I owe money will eventually get it I’ve forgotten nothing I promise. Right now I have to eat and prioritize what’s most important. The world is full of sh*tty people and there’s absolutely no doubt that I’m not one of them

I wanted to let everyone I’ve ever worked know something very important. Once you’re a client you’re always a client. You paid for life and until the dog you initially came to me about passes your all paid up and no matter how long between meetings you’re still a client. There are some people I owe money to and believe me when I say you will be paid back. Unfortunately if I have to choose between eating and paying you back I’m going to choose eating unless what I’m eating has mushrooms in it because mushrooms are gross. Anyway remember there’s nothing that makes me happier than hearing from a client I spent lots of time with. I just heard from Tommy’s owner and I was so happy but I could tell he was worried that I wouldn’t remember him or would for some reason not have the time to deal with him. I’d prefer to deal people I’ve known for years and since I filtered my clients and only allowed people I liked to book with me unless of course they had a dog that was on the verge of being put down in which case I didn’t care if Hi**er called me I would’ve helped him. Of course I probably would’ve found a way to poison the dude and take his dog but that’s just me

Let me tell you something about ol Davie Dave. I lost one friend because I didn’t want to do wrong to another friend and both ended up hating me. Only with me is that possible I am very easy to dislike apparently. I should probably be more upset than I actually am. Oh well I still have Amber

Don't know how many Game Of Thrones fans there are out there but for those who are i have good news. I just watched tomorrow's episode that I found on line and all I can say is HOLY S**T!!! I'm not gunna spoil it but I will say you all have something really really really kick ass to look forward to. What a fu***ng awesome show Game Of Thrones is and it's just getting better. For those who don't watch it you really don't know what your missing they'll never be a show like this again and there's only 12 episodes left till it's over. I know it's hard to follow sometimes but if you watch it from the beginning you won't regret it. After what I just saw there's no way in hell I'm sleeping tonight

Just wanted to let everyone know my buddy Tag is doing much better 👍👍😁😁. I was so worried about him but whatever it was seems to have passed so WOO HOO!!!

I've had a recurring nightmare the past 10 years that my little dog Tag died and when I wake up I'm in tears because Of all the dogs I've ever had Tag has something none of the others have had. He's super sweet and friendly. He exudes joy and makes people happy just by looking at him. I love this dog so much he makes my life better and a little bit easier no matter how hard it may get. Something's wrong with him.... He can no longer walk without falling over and looks like he's drunk. Although he's in no pain and is eating drinking and going to the bathroom normally he's not well. I think it was a stroke based on his symptoms and although it's not getting worse it's also not getting better. I can only hope that whatever this is it doesn't take him away from me because I honestly don't know what I'll do if it all does. I'll never let him suffer and if he was in pain or suffering in any way I'd let him go but until that day I'm gunna spend as much time with him as I can. From now on where I go he goes no matter where that may be. If I need groceries he'll be in the cart . If I'm doing a lesson he's doing it with me. If I go to the mall he'll be with me. Many years ago a client named Patty Tawadros came to me for training with her two dogs Tag and Ava. A little while later when she felt like two dogs were more then she could handle and knowing how much I liked Tag asked if I would take him and give him a good home. I of course said HELL YES! and ever since then my life been better. I've thanked her many times over the years for giving me such a awesome gift in Tag and I'll always be grateful to her. Once again Patty thank you so very much

What makes a person a good dog trainer?
This is a question that should be relatively easy to answer but I assure you it's not. Some may say it's all relative and what's good for one person may not be good for another. I believe being a good trainer has nothing to do with how much you know or the amount of experience you have. What makes a good dog trainer is honesty and the ability to know your limitations. Based on that criteria there's very few good dog trainers out there. Being honest is something that seems hard to do for the majority of trainers. Their more concerned about their ego then they are about being honest. I can't tell you how many times I've worked with dog owners that have been told by numerous trainers to put their dog down or find another home because the behavioral issues their dealing with can't be fixed. In almost every case that assessment was completely wrong and that's a big problem. That happens because so many trainers won't be honest about their level of understanding dog behavior and would rather recommend that a dog be put down then admit they don't know how to help them. A good trainer knows and accepts their limitations and will gladly say to someone " I'm sorry but I'm not qualified to help you with this particular behavioral issue". Thousands of dogs have died because of trainers not being able to say that to people. Forget about weather or not your a good trainer anyone that would tell a person to kill their dog instead of admitting they don't know something should worry about weather or not their a good person.

After 25 years of working with dogs I've helps lots of people. Time and time again the clients I've helped tell me how grateful they are for fixing their dogs and making their relationship so much better. I tell them all the same thing..... All I did was teach you what to do and helped you stay motivated. You did all the real work not me. If I did all the work all you'd have is a dog that listens to the trainer which doesn't help the owners. Any improvement to the dogs behavior that happened after going through my program was far more a result of the owners work then it was mine
