Settle Hyperactive Dogs With Food Toys During Board-and-Train Dog Training

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}

There’s A Pill In My Cream Cheese!

While some dogs take their monthly heartworm preventatives easily, there are a few who have come through my board-and-train dog training program who have said, “Later lady! I’ll skip that one.” Well, kid, not on my watch. Heartworm preventative is life sustaining preventative.

Goldendoodle Follows His Nose

When a puppy or dog comes to board-and-train with me, if they care to share, I find out what their special gifts are. Besides being a superior paper towel swiper and shredder, Seymour not only fetches the ball and returns it for another round, but he can find the ball in a yard without anyone telling him it’s there in the first place. Seymour’s nose tells him it’s there. Amazing Doodle that he is. After this ginormous goldendoodle’s board-and-train, I {Read More}
