[caption id="attachment_366" align="alignright" width="84" caption="Marley loves the pack walk"][/caption] People usually want to know how my group/pack walks are run. I think this article/blog gives a great idea of my views on group walks and what exactly your pups get up to. With any group larger than 3 dogs I stick to the enclosed dog parks for the safety of the dogs. When your dog joins my pack they quickly adapt to our routine and have lots of fun doing it! I recently had a week of walks with a lot of new clients - by midweek it was amazing to see how quickly the dogs had ...
There are lots of conflicting views regarding dog training and I've been questioned in the past on my support of Cesar Millans methods. Being questioned on this shocked me - I was thinking - Really? Have you watched his show? How can you feel anything other than respect and admiration for the guy?

I thought I'd write a quick article on some of my views regarding dog training.

If a dog is destructive, doesn't listen or is not toilet trained then their life quality suffers. If they chew everything ...
This is a great link for a quick review of what commonly found items can be poison hazards for your pets - as Spring approaches our pets are going to be spending an increasing amount of time outside, let's make sure they can all play safely in our yards and parks (and of course indoors too)! http://www.petsit.com/top-pet-poisons Also with it being almost Spring I feel compelled to ask if you knew that tulip bulbs and daffodil bulbs are toxic for your dog? They are and with our pup's tendencies to get digging whenever they can just remember to keep a close ...
Now I realize that this is not a dog I'm petting in this shot but I figured I'd add some pictures that showcase how much I love all animals (not just dogs and cats). Here I'm petting a lion cub in South Africa 2 years ago. She was born at the Port Elizabeth Lion Sanctuary committed to preserving the 'white lion' gene and this moment for me was one of those wonderful moments of bliss in life. After leaving South Africa I realized that I wanted to spend the rest of my life working with animals in some capacity. I ...
