Woofs to Wags

We help many dog owners struggling with housetraining. One of the first steps is understanding why and how they decide what a suitable bathroom is. Many old school punishment techniques are not only based in poor learning theory and ineffective, but they can also result in avoidance of the person using the technique. Start by learning how dogs learn and what they need to know, and set your dog up for success. It'll be worlds more fun for both of you.

We talk a lot about dogs, but we have other friends, too! We’ve enjoyed our time this week with #WoofsClients Gary, Roy and Oliver.

A lot of people who reach out to us for training don't seem to understand that, for dogs, barking is completely normal and a way that they communicate -- or attempt to -- with us. Many things that are normal for dogs are inconvenient for us, and training is ideally a process by which we learn to cohabitate without undue stress on one another.
