Today was a disappointment....in myself, not the dog. I know better than to blame the dog. An effective teacher has an exemplary student. What's great about today is that although I am a dog trainer, I am still an average person. My husband is away for two weeks, I homeschool my kids, I have two dogs that I dote on, I run a business and my kids' social and extracurriclar lives are busy!! I am not fishing for sympathy...at all. Just painting the picture. Average people are busy and average people mess up with dogs. |

Day three with Noel was relatively uneventful. She continues to progress with her housetraining. She has had no accidents today. What Noel needs is what all dogs need; their needs to be met. Once you know what a dog needs, it's then all about finding a human who can provide for the needs. As I went through my day today, Noel's predicament kept coming to the forefront of my mind. Why aren't dogs needs being met? Why am I teaching an 8 month old what should have been learned many months ago? |

Day one with the foster dog is now turning into night one. Overall a very good day. It started out at the Pet Supermarket to the tune of $80 in toys. It's a worthy investment in a busy dog! After that, I picked up a puppy playpen from a friend and then got the dog, a crate and a bag of food from the All Animal Clinic on Blanding. Noel (her new name!) hopped happily in the car ready for whatever we had in store for her. Having a new dog in the house who has not been housetrained (or any other training that is visable) is a simple issue of management. |

Dominance….what it is and what it isn’t by Maggie Marshall As a dog trainer, I hear the same things repeated over and over again. Things like, “I know I need to be dominant over my dog,” “she’s the alpha,” “she’s very dominant, “or “she’s the submissive one.” It seems a great misunderstanding of dog behavior and relationships has taken over and seems to have a life of its own. The term “dominant” as referring to a dog, took hold first in the 1940s with very limited information and again in the 1970s when a man by the name of Dr. |
