The first part shows her in a very popular “ no pull” back clip harness, and the second part using a flat collar with minimal owner leash training skills.

Today we took Wilson, a 4.5 month old Bichon Frise puppy, out of a field trip today to the park. This is so important to get a dog socialized at a young age, so they learn to easily handle the stimulation and distractions of other dogs, people, lawnmowers, bicycles, and…

This is a tough time for all of us, dogs included. Dogs that are cooped up inside all day may begin to develop serious behavior issues if not recognized and corrected soon enough. Over the past two weeks, I have received an enormous amount of phone calls regarding a sudden…
Here is a very simple and effective method of putting the leash on the dog when they resist. Chasing them is not very effective. Recall (come command) only works if they know the command. Here I am using food (one piece of kibble) to lure them over to me, and…
