We're coming up to the warmer seasons. We're ready to get out and enjoy the weather. It's a great thing to include your dog in your road trips ... SAFELY. Let's start planning now.

1. Crate your dog. It's the safest way to transport him.
2. Don't let her stick her head out the window. She could get hit in the eye by an object or bug.
3. Don't leave him alone in the car. Even if it's only in the low 70s outside, the temperature inside the car can get over 115 degrees. This can cause your dog's death in a very short time. Don't risk it. Run your errand when you can do it safely.

Did you know that there are different types of training/trainers for dogs?
There are trainers who use "traditional" methods. Traditional methods lean more toward negative reinforcement, aka punishment. These trainers believe the dog will realize the wrong answer gets them an negative response from the trainer. So the dog will be more likely to give the right answer.
There are also positive reinforcement trainers who reward the dog for the right answer and ignore everything with the expectation the dog will work for the rewards and the wrong answers will fade away.
And there are trainers who do a combination of positive and negative reinforcement.
So when you're looking for a trainer, do your research and see if your philosophies gel. Also check on certifications and what they mean. If you and the trainer have different expectations you might be disappointed in the outcome.

Do you wonder why your dog KEEPS BARKING? You've tried everything, but NOTHING WORKS.
The first step toward stopping the behavior is to understand what is causing it. It might be pain or anxiety. He might need to go out or he's hungry. Maybe he's lonely or bored.
All of these causes would need a different solution to end the barking.
