Autumn is a good time not just for humans to go back to school, but for dogs too. Asa and I are strong believers that training is not a one and done event, but instead a lifelong process. Even if you walk on a loose leash out of the obedience class, head held high, with […]
Asa and I are strong believers that training is not a one and done event, but instead a lifelong process. Even if you walk on a loose leash out of the obedience class, head held high, with diploma proudly in mouth, we all could use a refresher as old habits can come creeping back. Perhaps […]
This evening yet another town council is having a meeting to discuss tighter restrictions on dogs at their beach. In the past few years, we have seen places we once enjoyed ban dogs entirely, or enact highly restrictive rules, and yet we understand why towns feel they have no other choice but to do it. […]
As Asa and I continue to follow social distancing guidelines and staying home, I realized something very important. It takes a village to train Mom and Dad! Just a little over a month ago, all my dreams of having Dad and I certified as a Canine Good Citizen came to a crashing halt. We were […]
As Asa and I continue sharing our previous posts on How to Train Your Human, today we look back to the all important skill of teaching Mom and Dad to walk on a leash. However, as you read this post from August 2018, you will see our lessons were at first interrupted by a lightning […]
Dogs, as we all continue to stay home and practice social distancing, I’m sure there have been a few moment of rebellion from those of you trying to retrain your humans. Asa and myself also hit a few bumps in the road when we were helping Mom and Dad with their sit/stay back in 2018. […]
As we continue re-sharing our series on training Mom and Dad, I would like to pause and thank their trainer for teaching them social distancing! Little did I realize back in 2018 when they had their second lesson with him, how important teaching Mom and Dad to keep a safe distance from us would become […]
Since a lot of dogs are home with their humans now, we thought we’d re-share the posts from our training series to perhaps inspire you to work on your human’s skills. In 2018 Asa and I enrolled Mom and Dad for private lessons to address issues they were having with leash walking and other commands. […]
Against Mom’s better judgement, I leashed up Dad and we headed to his Canine Good Citizen Class. It being the final class I was hoping we would be taking the certification test. Instead, we, along with the other two dogs and their humans, found the room had the overwhelming scent of cleaning products, and the […]
Needless to say in light of recent events, Mom could not attend her Canine Good Citizen Class. However, I am determined to continue to work with Dad for his certification. So we headed off to our second class with his new trainer, confident in our goal. This week we worked on three more parts of […]
