Doing varied exercises with your dog is important for muscle growth and mobility.

If your dog’s only exercise is walking or fetch, they’re going to develop underdeveloped leg muscles. Having them jump onto an object (and jump off) works different leg and core muscles than running in a straight line ever will.

You don’t always want high-impact exercise, but introducing jumps periodically can be really helpful.

Found 2 kennels on Facebook Marketplace for $15 each. Brand new. These retail for around $150.

People sell them cheap because they don’t want a kennel taking up space in their house — but if you have a dog, you need one.

A kennel isn’t a cage. It’s a decompression space. It speeds up potty training. It keeps your dog safe from chewing on things they shouldn’t when you’re not watching.

Every dog should have one. You just don’t have to pay retail to get it.

With the World Cup going on (is it still happening? lol I haven’t watched a game) I thought this would be a funny way to point out some silly things ppl think about their dog

You should get a dog that fits your lifestyle if you have any doubts go with a golden retriever or a Labrador

You shouldn’t let your dog jump on ppl. No one likes it and it’s antisocial behavior

Crate training is one of the biggest “fix everything” buttons. If you’re struggling with your dog in any way implementing kennel training will drastically help

Although we want our dogs to “be a dog” they have to have a basic understanding of how to behave. If they won’t come when called then they shouldn’t be off leash. If they are using the bathroom in the house then they need to be kenneled etc…

Socialization is NOT letting your dog be pet by strangers or saying hi to random dogs. Socialization is when your dog can go out in public and not bark,lunge, pull on the leash

If you think your dog would protect you from a bad guy there’s an almost 0% chance that’s true.

If you give your dog a command and don’t follow through with it you’re training them to disobey all your commands

If you struggle with anything on this list feel free to reach out and I’d be happy to help you.

Please Help Macy Find Her Furever Home - Located in Tampa, FL

Macy is a beautiful 2-year-old Pitty mix searching for the forever family she deserves. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all of her vaccinations.

Macy has spent the past few weeks in our board & train program and is now looking for her forever home. I’ll be working closely with her adopters to help them handle and continue her training.
She does best as the only dog in the household.
If you or someone you know is interested, DM me for more information!

One of the greatest tools you can use in dog training is a long line

The one I’m using here is 50 foot. That may seem extreme, but it allows you to be really far away from your dog while still having full control over them.

You can use this for anything. Primarily I use it for the recall but in this video, I’m using it for a “down stay” and showing the dog to hold that position until I release them

Michael was a 9 year old boy that was viciously mauled to death by 2 pitbulls.

I’m not sharing this to shame pitbulls

I don’t care if you love or hate pitbulls

Michael and his family deserve Justice and that’s not happening

The same thing happened to a lady in Brevard County and the owner of the dogs was immediately arrested.

Why has Brandy Hodill and Amanda Franco not been charged with manslaughter??

I used to try giving my dog baths in the bathtub… and it was a disaster 😂

They’d try to run away, water everywhere, hair all over the tub. So I started bathing them outside instead.

Way easier to control the mess and way less cleanup.

I keep the dog on a leash so they can’t run off, especially since most dogs don’t enjoy baths. I also started using a place cot to keep them off the grass and dirt so they don’t get muddy right after.

Simple setup. Less stress. Cleaner dog.

If this helped, like this video and send it to a dog owner.
