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.

Easy Clip for Your Dog’s Tags
August 13, 2017 by
I was tired of wrestling with my dogs’ tags whenever I wanted to change their collars.

The Stubborn, Willful, Spiteful Dog Myth
June 15, 2017 by
People call me with stories of their stubborn, willful, spiteful dogs, and the list of derogatory adjectives go on from there. And I understand. People are frustrated, and we are people after all, so we are going to think from a people-perspective. But dogs aren’t people, so they don’t think the way people think. Dogs aren’t any of those unpleasant terms we apply to them. What dogs are doing when they behave unfavorably is either entertaining their own interests or {Read More}
