We remember firsts for many things. When I opened up Love Wags A Tail Dog Training, my first call was from a woman needing help with her Doberson. She was one of those people who had met up with a couple of unconscionable dog trainers who knew little about behavioral science and a lot about cruelty. By the time I met her and her Dobie, Harley, she’d tried choke, pinch, and shock collars and was also squirting her beloved dog {Read More}
Tuna Fudge Dog Training Food
February 3, 2015 by
When I train dogs or teach my clients to train their dogs, I reach for “training treats,” to get the job done. But really, what I use is training food.

This is Hobbes, a 10-month-old Chihuahua who’s going through board and train for housetraining. He’s a brilliant little dog with a lot of personality, {Read More}
Housetraining Plus Management
January 20, 2015 by
One of my favorite board-and-train dogs is the one who needs housetraining. I love potty training dogs. Adult dogs, puppies, young dogs, old dogs, send me your dog who needs housebreaking and I’ll do it. As long as she’s a healthy dog, that is. When there’s something getting in the way of complete housetraining, I can still help with housetraining plus management. I’ll give you two examples of dogs that don’t fit the healthy dog category because they have physical {Read More}
