Dog Training

Last night I drove an hour and a half to help out a dog. This dog was adopted from a rescue that is run by a friend of mine which is why I made the trip. The dog was about to be returned to the rescue because of some behaviors he was doing. He was jumping, humping, very mouthy and would not come back when called. The family had two young children and were concerned that he was becoming aggressive. After the first ten minutes listening to couple, I held up my hand and told them that I knew what… Read the rest

Life is very interesting and funny at times. Got a call yesterday from a member of The Dog Training Inner Circle. She called to say that she had accidentally canceled her membership and that was the last thing she wanted to do.

Now, before you think this is a puff piece with me tooting my own horn keep reading. Because later in the day I logged onto Amazon.com. I went to the page with my… Read the rest

Have you ever really wanted something for Christmas and didn’t get it? Last night I was sipping on some eggnog when my mother-in-law told me a story about a bowling set she got for Christmas when she was a kid.

You just want to relax after a long day but find yourself chasing the dog around the house because the dog has the TV remote. There is one simple statement… Read the rest

I live between two cities with HUGE Portuguese communities. I live smack dab in the middle of Fall River and New Bedford Massachusetts. Just last week I started working with a very nice elderly Portuguese lady. And the Portuguese language is great. I don’t know that many words but one word I do know is “cueca.” I love the way this word sounds and always makes me chuckle when someone says it. When you hear the word pronounced it sounds like “quack-isch.” The main complaint this nice lady had was that her dog kept stealing her “quackisch.” Luckily I grew… Read the rest
