If your dog is engaging in undesirable behaviors like pulling on the leash, you need to invest in dog training. Quick fixes don’t work in dog training. Your dog is only pulling on the leash because you’ve taught it to pull on the leash. If you want to teach your dog to stop pulling on […]

No, no dogs are untrainable. Every dog no matter breed, age, size, or behavioral issue can be trained.  FYI, all dogs are trained. Either the dog is trained to engage in desirable behavior (sit, down, calm and settle) or the dog is trained to engage in undesirable behavior (bark at strangers, lunge at squirrels, pull […]

Prioritize giving the dog a safe space, which includes air, food, water, and shelter. Talking to your dog like a baby or forcing […]
