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”
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”
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”
Purple Flowers Mia Majesty
Rob made this photo of Mia last week at work. I love it so much that we need to make a companion one of Leo and then mural an entire wall with it. We celebrated Mia’s birthday last week. We brought her home four years ago June 4. Who knows how old she really is,Continue reading “Purple Flowers Mia Majesty”
The power of a photo
This post is going to be even less Wordless than usual, but it speaks to the power of a single photo. This one: Since I started volunteering at an animal shelter, I’ve deliberately not plastered “sad dog” photos all over Facebook. I take dogs on walks and try to get photos of them with myContinue reading “The power of a photo”
Lucky and Ty find families
Two of my long-suffering buddies at the Humane Society of Skagit Valley have been adopted! Lucky, as in L is for Lucky, and Ty, seen here in this photo by Tracey Salazar. Salazar and another photographer, Lara Grauer, are working with The Dugan Foundation and Pawsitive Alliance to spread the word about dogs who keepContinue reading “Lucky and Ty find families”
What’s so great about being positive anyway?
This month’s Positive Training Blog Hop theme is reviews. Product reviews actually, but I’m going to review myself instead. Or rather, my effort to use All-Positive language during April’s A to Z Challenge. It wasn’t that hard to come up with topics for each letter… what was hard was expressing my point of view without usingContinue reading “What’s so great about being positive anyway?”
