Yesterday the best book arrived, Doggie Language by Lilli Chin! It’s so great even my kiddos looked through it and learned something.

I’m very happy to see this from a national chain! Way to take a stand for good Petco!

Way to go Petco!

Excellent dog body language video from Fear Free Pets.

When you work with me, if your dog gets it right, we tell him/her they are right and reward with whatever they love. If your dog gets it wrong, we ignore that and either set your dog up to make the right answer easier or make the criteria easier. Less invasive methods? Nothing is less invasive than postive reinforcement training or classical conditioning/counter-conditioning.

This is why it’s important to license your dog (sometimes cat) with your county animal shelter. They track and make sure the rabies vaccine is up to date. It’s a public health concern because rabies is a deadly virus. It’s rare but deadly and bats are the #1 carrier.

Myth: never sooth, comfort or pet a dog who is scared. Truth: Emotions can not be reinforced.

Happy Sunday. The wonders of a dog’s nose.

Lucy was my dog. Who was yours?

Happy Labor Day!

The heat wave is here. Keep pets safe this weekend.
