Bulldog Pulls Halloween Prank On Trainer
October 17, 2024 by
The personalities behind each pup and dog I train through my board-and-train at Love Wags A Tail dog and puppy training are like that box of chocolates Tom Hanks referenced in the movie Forrest Gump. It’s true. You never know what you’re gonna get in a box of chocolates or in a litter of puppies.

Goldendoodle Follows His Nose
August 20, 2024 by
When a puppy or dog comes to board-and-train with me, if they care to share, I find out what their special gifts are.

We train dogs to learn the rules, then we reinforce them to maintain them, no matter if it’s their first time here or their tenth. Schnauzer Auggie’s excitement was overwhelming, and when we started to play, he swiped my arm hard unexpectedly. That stung! Our daily ball playing {Read More}
