Happy New Year!

I hope you and your family had a joyous holiday and blessed Christmastime. In the hustle and bustle, most people didn't have time to read even one thing extra, so I didn't want to add to it. Now the New Year is starting, and we're all off and running ... For me, that's been literally... I've been running several clients' dogs daily!

Letting dogs who are not fixed run free and mate as they please training puppies contributes to some of our over-population in animal shelters.

Do you know what adds even more dogs to those dog kennels than that?

People see a movie or someone walking a dog that they feel is beautiful. Then without researching the dog breed, they go and pick one up ... only to become overwhelmed by tendencies the animal naturally has.

There are several different problems, or conflicts rather, that people can have between a leash and a dog.

The most common one is when the dog has learned how to use the leash better than his master...so well in fact, that it is indeed his master who goes walking or running down the street behind him! I training puppies think we know who's in control of that walk.

There's an awful lot of controversy going around about Cesar Millan,The Dog Whisperer. No doubt, I have my suspicions about a few things. But I'm not going to use this blog to slander anyone.

Disagreeing with someone is one thing, but no one training puppies has any business going around saying Cesar Millan doesn't know anything just training puppies because he isn't certified. He has been able to make some completely unmanageable dogs, by our standards, safe.

Here's a true "bad dog behavior" story.

"It's after midnight, and a long, long evening. Mama was cooking everything in sight for Thanksgiving the next day and I was "kitchen help." Finally, sinking into bed, this whipped 14-year-old was drifting off to sleep. Deep sleep.

Crash!

Then screaming! (My parents never screamed.) Alarmed, I training puppies jumped out of bed and ran down the training puppies hall to the kitchen. Mama was throwing that yellow Lab out the door!
