Better Call Saul

Remember Saul Goodman? The sleazy layer from the show, “Breaking Bad.” Great show, great character. I hear they are making a spin off using this character. We’ll see. Anyway, there is one great scene with Saul and the main character, Walter White. It went like this: Walter White: How did everything get so screwed up? Saul Goodman: Yeah, you do seem to have a little “s#!+ creek” action going. [pause] Saul Goodman: You know, FYI, you can buy a paddle. Probably his best quote and often reminds me of when I am talking to some dog owners. I get calls… Read the rest

The Art Of Loose Leash Walking

Little Scarlett is getting close. She is getting real close to walking and it reminds me of someone learning to train their dog to stop pulling on leash. Painful. Scarlett is getting much better but she’s had her share of falls and bumps in the process of learning to balance and make forward progress on two feet. I’ve seen plenty of people get bumps and bruises as they trained their dogs to walk on leash. In my opinion it is one of the most difficult commands to teach. The dog wants to go , so they pull and because they… Read the rest

This Routine Will Make You Happy If You Have A Reactive Dog

Amazing to think Scarlett is going to be one this month. There is one thing she really does not like and that is getting placed on the changing table. She hates it.

I help change dogs’ negative behaviors into more positive ones. Maybe I can help change this.” Years ago I learned a routine from a trainer to deal with reactive dogs. Some dogs go bananas when… Read the rest

Training A Dog To Walk On Leash In New Bedford

For years I joked about Labrador Retrievers in my obedience classes. I would always ask: “How can you pick out a lab owner in a room full of dog owners?” Answer: The lab owner is the one with the black eyes and arms in a cast. Labs are not the only dogs that pull on leash. Every breed of dog pulls, but labs are experts because they are so happy with forward movement. You can see it in their faces: “We’re going somewhere? AWESOME, Let’s go!” The four wheels (or paws) kick in and the human on the other end… Read the rest
