We enjoyed having Semi the Puggle in the Love Wags A Tail Thanksgiving board-and-train program this 2017. He is a fabulously smart kid, and he had a lot of fun while learning all his new behaviors. He graduated with a lot under his graduation cap and played hard with the resident kids as well. Congratulations Semi! Board-and-Train is an efficient way to get a dog on track to new behaviors.

Halloween Dog Training Fun
October 31, 2017 by
Halloween greetings from Love Wags A Tail board-and-train dog training. We are enjoying the day with some naturally orange pumpkin-peanut butter homemade Halloween cookies for the dogs, and being a little bit spooky decked out in festive dog collars, burning candles in our jack-o-lantern candle holders, and doing tricks around the pumpkin patch for those cookies. OK, it’s a one-pumpkin pumpkin patch, but it’s a big one. We have other holidays up ahead of us. If you are taking a {Read More}
Bouncy Dogs Inform Their Playmates
September 4, 2017 by
When watching dogs play chase, be mindful of the bouncy play style, which is what we’re looking for. When dogs play chase, this happy, puppy-like romping informs other dogs that “We are playing!

I was tired of wrestling with my dogs’ tags whenever I wanted to change their collars. In addition, when dogs come into my board-and-train dog training programs, I always put a tag on them with my local information. All this tag changing proved to be frustrating with the normal split ring that tag makers send with their tags. I looked around to find a clip that would hold the tags securely and one which I could exchange from collar to {Read More}
Leaping Dobermann Targets Back Seat of Truck
July 28, 2017 by
My latest Dobermann is a board-and-train who needs multiple sessions a week in high-distraction environments. So I take him around town to train. He rides in the backseat like a pro, looking out the window and watching the scenery. But what he didn’t do with his bouncy, long-legged self prior to our drives around town was jump into the back seat of my F-150. I invited him up day after day, but it always ended with my having to hoist {Read More}
