Dogs & Multi-Dog Homes
Over time we have been asked for help/ info on a number of different topics for the care/ training of a dog.
Below are a number of various links that we have found helpful, and hope that will also
be of help for you as well.We hope that this information
will also be of use to help you during the transition of a new pet into your home.
We are strong advocates of ONLY positive reinforcement training methods only and to find a trainer that works for you and your dogs needs.!
Please always
access the supports of a reputable positive based trainer as soon as there are issues/ challenges noted. Starting when things are at a small stage and working on ensuring success makes them easier to address/ fix.
Working on attaining skills and understanding and being an educated owner,allows one to be the best owner possible for their pet.
Our pets are a reflection of the proper care they receive on a daily basis.
The better we are as owners... the better we are able to help our pets to be the best they can be!!
