Here’s something you don’t see too often. A Dobermann eating a pickle. OK, so he’s not actually eating “the” pickle, but he’s eating from the pickle. The Starmark Pickle toy. What a greatly designed toy it is, too! It keeps dogs occupied for long spurts of time. Luigi the Dobermann is almost 13 years old, and sometimes it’s difficult to find the right toy for him, but he loves his pickle toy! And it gives him a mental workout, as {Read More}
Train Your Pooch To Wear A Santa Hat For Holiday Photos
December 1, 2025 by
This time of year makes for good memory-making photos. If you have a puppy or doggo in the family and would like to take a holiday photo of him/her wearing a Santa hat, my little board-and-train student, Farley, an adorable miniature poodle puppy, will show you how he did it.

April Sprinkler Showers During Board-and-Train
April 19, 2025 by
Even though we don’t have much rain and it’s time for April showers, my board-and-train dogs find a way to shower if they are water dogs. When the sprinkler goes on, this little girl goes in. She’s got all sorts of talents. Besides sprinkler dashing, she chashes birds, and tries to climb trees to catch those varmint squirrels. When dogs come to Love Wags A Tail board-and-train, I love watching their innate drives blossom. And doggos like Lexi, who yank {Read More}
Bulldog Pulls Halloween Prank On Trainer
October 17, 2024 by
The personalities behind each pup and dog I train through my board-and-train at Love Wags A Tail dog and puppy training are like that box of chocolates Tom Hanks referenced in the movie Forrest Gump. It’s true. You never know what you’re gonna get in a box of chocolates or in a litter of puppies. I can empathize with owners who tell me they’ve had a certain breed for years, “but this one’s different.” Usually the “different” part is something {Read More}
