A to Z Challenge 2015
Last year’s A to Z Challenge was so stimulating and fun, I’m doing it again. I didn’t establish a particular theme last year, but because this is a dog blog, of course all my posts followed that theme. This year, my theme is POSITIVE ONLY. Not only will I focus on the positive reinforcement trainingContinue reading “A to Z Challenge 2015”

Reclaiming my sidekick
Rob’s been taking Mia to work a lot. Since he works on a college campus, Mia gets to visit with all kinds of people while she’s there. Many of the students miss their own dogs, so they’re pretty excited to see her. Also, Rob takes her on long walks. My office is nowhere near asContinue reading “Reclaiming my sidekick”
Flashy New Collars
The good people at Dog-E-Glow liked this video so much that they sent us a couple of different styles to try out! We walk our dogs every day after dark, and during those walks, they always wear their Dog-E-Glows. We usually keep them on “steady glow,” but they also have a blinky setting. I loveContinue reading “Flashy New Collars”
Training versus management for leash-reactive dogs
A few years ago, I decided we were going to cure Leo of his reactivity to bicycles. We planned to walk around the campus of the nearby university where Rob works, with Rob’s bicycle.

Unlikely therapy dogs
Leo has known this little girl since he was a puppy. When he sees her, he runs right up to her wheelchair and she pats him on the head like there’s no tomorrow. Here, he’s letting her use him as a pillow. This lovely lady’s daughter saw Mia one day at Rob’s work. She invitedContinue reading “Unlikely therapy dogs”
Speaking up for positive training
Several of us in the positive training community were distressed a few months ago when a company that sells shock collars courted dog bloggers to convince them of the virtues of aversive training. It felt like we were backsliding. Were these methods coming back into style? I’m happy to tell you that at least oneContinue reading “Speaking up for positive training”
