THE PET PARENTS' NETWORK FOR TRAINING, LEARNING AND SHARING
I don’t know about you, but every time we're out, at a dinner, a bar, a party, the conversation almost always goes to the dogs- literally. I love to talk about dogs, my dogs, dogs I've trained, dogs I've cared for over the dozen years I've been in this business. I'm with dogs every single day, yet I never tire of the subject. Lucky for me there are plenty of fellow doggy devotees out there who are just as nuts as I am. We whip out our phones and eagerly take turns showing off pictures of our beloved four-leggers and exchange stories of their latest antics...
And we know that dogs who are trained and well socialized lead richer, fuller lives. They’re able to come along with us to more places, do more things, and join in on the many activities and events that are available to the well-behaved pooch. Though we absolutely adore our dogs, when it comes to training them we sometimes drop the ball... What makes training so tricky?
Learn the best ways to Train
You will be delighted to discover that you are better qualified to train your dog than anyone out there. In fact, you are the only one who can ensure successful training of your own dog. Learn why...
Today, positive dog training is more interesting, more fun, and now more convenient than ever before. Our easy-to-follow lessons are based upon up-to-date, accurate information from the latest studies of animal behavior, rather than decades-old methods of dog training. We combine this knowledge with our deep love and understanding that only comes from spending each and every day with these amazing and wonderful members of our family.
Keep it Social
Regular socialization is an absolute must. I've seen it time and time again- friendly puppies who get along famously with others. Then wintertime rolls around, and they get little or no exposure to other dogs for several weeks or even months, then guess what? Not so great with other dogs anymore. It's heartbreaking. I strongly encourage my clients to set up doggy playdates as routinely as possible. But there are a couple of issues that have often come up:
Your eager-to-play pup may be a bit too rambunctious for the more reserved fellow down the street. Or perhaps your neighbor's boistrous ball o' energy scares the poo of your shy guy ... Just as we humans have different personalities and mesh better with some than others, dogs do best with those of similar play styles.
What about the dog park? Another problem people face is that they don't know about the dispositions of other dogs. Unfortunately it's a legitimate concern. Rough play and aggression are two entirely different things. Sometimes people who have not learned to recognize the difference, or don't care, bring dogs that aren't "dogpark ready," resulting in serious injury.
So we came up with a better, more convenient way to connect parents, get you and pooch out and about, and help keep your canine kids comfy with others.... Enter Fido Forum!
With our new Fido Forum, you can meet other dog moms and dads, post your own topics and questions, share your experience, favorite pics, and schedule get-togethers based on your dogs' play style and energy level: Join in on "Playdates for Puppies, Ruff Rompers, Cautious Canines, Wee-Woofs," depending on what you and your dog are most comfortable with. As a Puppy Love Pack Member you will have all you need to help keep your furball socialized, healthy and happy!
