Leo redirected on me last week during a walk. Things had been going just smashingly and we hadn’t had a reaction worth reporting in a long time. On this walk, he was triggered by a pedestrian and a bike on the other side of the road. He barked, lunged, and redirected twice on my leg.Continue reading “Leo vs. the Track Team”

Blog the Change for Everyone
This news story irritated me this morning (emphasis mine). A dog described as an American Bulldog was visiting a Temecula home Saturday afternoon when the dog mistook kids playing as aggressive action, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. … The dog, described by animal control officers as an American Bulldog, was with three childrenContinue reading “Blog the Change for Everyone”

What your dog needs
The theme for this month’s Positive Pet Training Blog Hop is training mistakes. Before I caught on to this whole positive training thing, I made so many mistakes that I wrote a book about them, called Bark and Lunge: Saving My Dog from Training Mistakes. Everyone makes technical mistakes, like using the wrong gear, or usingContinue reading “What your dog needs”
Crispy Field at Golden Hour
They say the best camera is the one that’s in your hand. The above picture was taken close to sunset at one of our off-leash areas. All I had with me was my phone, and yes, I’ll admit to using the “clarity” filter (love that filter). I’m also tempted to photoshop Leo’s ball blue soContinue reading “Crispy Field at Golden Hour”
I love all my dogs equally
Looking at my Instagram feed last week, I realized with shame that it had been a while since I posted a picture of Leo. It’s not that Mia is more beautiful or more photogenic than Leo, just that Rob had been taking Mia to work a lot. He takes her on long walks during hisContinue reading “I love all my dogs equally”
Blame it on the pit bull
Gracie is a total wiggle butt/snuggle bug available at the Humane Society of Skagit Valley. At least she was the last time I was there, which was May 22 … ! What happened to me there, and the reason I haven’t been back yet is not her fault, but because of her breed, even though she’s a veryContinue reading “Blame it on the pit bull”
How to break up a dog fight
This happened during Positive Pet Training week when the theme was multiple dogs, but sadly I didn’t have a chance to write it up in time. Mia and Leo hadn’t been in a nasty fight in almost two years, and generally are the bestest of buddies. Most of the time, I feed them sort of separately. Leo getsContinue reading “How to break up a dog fight”
