To those in the Mid-Michigan area. The Capital Area Humane Society really needs more Dog Training Volunteers one would work a 2 hour shift one time per week or as little as once per month. This Saturday I will be conducting a “training session” for all dog training volunteers (new recruits as well as current [...]
I have 2 six year-old Jack Russels. One of them, for the past month, has been going ‘#2′ on the rug. I have taken him to the vet, I have limited his dry food & treat intake, I have punished him as well as rewarded him when he goes outside. A week ago I rented [...]

He was with me for about a year and a half. He’s bonded to me. He went to a great home, without other dogs, but one of the guardians is taking him to work with him every day. They called yesterday because he is depressed. (Well he also jumped out of a window and went [...]

It depends on the owner, the dog, the exercise, and the time constraints. In a private lesson, I have more leeway to tailor the exercise to the [...]
Sometime in the past six months (exactly how long I can’t remember) I saw a pet portrait done in the ‘Andy Warhol’ style. I’m sure I saw it featured on tv and then looked it up on the internet. OF COURSE I didn’t save the internet address. Has anyone seen anything similar to this? And [...]
Both can SIT & DOWN. But neither want to STAY. According to the basic obedience class we’re attending, I should have them on a leash when in the house & trying new tricks. I should also try this when we are near a favorite spot or blanket AND I should be training them separately. I’ve [...]
