Happy holidays to you and your pet dogs from Love Wags A Tail board-and-train dog training. We wish you the very best of times spent with your pooch over the holidays and of course, all year round. Remember, if the goings-on get too exciting, put your dog in a quiet place such as a crate or a back room where he can settle down. Offer him a food toy to help distract him from what he’s missing out on. Helen {Read More}
Trade The Poisonous Pointsettia For A Festive Red Hibiscus Plant

I love the red and green color combination of the holiday season. And as much as I enjoy a pretty pointsettia, the plant is well known for being a poison to dogs.

It’s not hard to teach your dog behaviors, but it does take dedication. One {Read More}
Training The Family Dog

A potential client called me recently who wanted me to train his dog so that the pooch would leave him alone when he came home after work. This dog owner was fine when his dog greeted him, and was all right taking him outside for an after-work potty break, and feeding the dog was acceptable, too; but after that, this dog owner wanted to be left alone. I explained to him that yes, he worked hard all day and came {Read More}
Fetching Dog Toys
December 5, 2018 by
What I find most interesting about training the wonderful board-and-train dogs and puppies who come through Love Wags A Tail board-and-train dog training is the variety of pet dogs whose owners love them to pieces. Some owners have clearly signed onto one breed and after the lifespan of their dog wanes, they grieve, and eventually find another puppy or rescue of the same breed to share their life with. Some owners find mixed breeds to their liking. So many things {Read More}
