We work with a nonprofit organization that trains assistance aka service dogs called Our Future Hope. When searching for a puppy we first assess the mother dog. If the mom is calm, friendly and outgoing and not overly protective of the puppies it is usually a sign that the puppy will have similar temperament and personality traits. We advise everyone purchasing a puppy to do the same!

Many people are confused about choosing the most appropriate equipment for teaching their dog to walk on a loose leash. There are so many options and choosing the option that works well but is also the most humane can be difficult. Our favorite is a front connecting harness and the runner up is a head halter. Head halters for dogs are similar to a halter for a horse and if you have a dog that pulls like a horse you might try one. We provide a 10-14 day comfortable introduction to head halters free of charge. Contact us if interested!

Hens may.not lay eggs when molting (molting is when chickens lose old feathers and grow new better insulating feathers). The good news is once the new feathers are grown in the egg laying should pick back up!

Often people ask us what positive reinforcement means. This means using equipment that does not cause pain or discomfort, using rewards that the dog or other animal really wants and never forcing any animal to do anything and certainly never causing fear or anxiety. We also empower the dog or any animal we are working with by providing choice ! This enhances the bond by building confidence and most importantly trust !!!

When considering adding an additional cat to a multi - cat home you want to be sure to provide a gradual introduction, add at least one litter box, another scratching surface and as much environmental enrichment as possible to ensure a successful integration!

It’s so important for children to grow up with pets. Your dog must be child, adult and dog friendly and your child must learn to handle dogs gently . Even in the most ideal situations children and dogs together must be under constant supervision ! Successful encounters with children and dogs always have adult supervision !

A few people have asked me that since I work with Our Future Hope- the non profit that trains assistance dogs, what do we do if we cue a dog to exhibit a behavior they know well but do not respond . We never force or correct. We simply cue the dog to exhibit another behavior and when they do we reinforce. Typically the next time we cue the behavior that was not followed a little later the dog does it and we reinforce.When this occurs I always wish the dog could to explain their refusal but since they can’t I accept that it just wasn’t in line with them at that moment!

We didn’t expect it to get this hot this soon and it’s not even officially summer yet! I’m sure all of our followers know this, but I thought I would just post this picture of how hot the pavements can get.
