How to Train Your Pit Bull
Pit Bulls are some of the most fun-loving and enthusiastic dogs I have ever met and could warm even the coldest of hearts. They can be excitable and vocal in their play with other dogs and sweet, gentle giants with children. Sadly, Pit Bulls have been unfairly demonized which has caused all kinds of problems, but times are a-changin and I think/hope pitties will once again be “America’s favorite dog.”

Our country appears to be in the midst of a food revolution as companies race to rebrand and even reformulate their products to jump on the organic, non-GMO, all-natural, sustainable, holistic bandwagon. In the very recent past, this change has even trickled down to the lowest peg on the food industry totem pole—what we feed our pets.
How to Stop Puppy Biting and Teach Good Bite Inhibition
lovelyloisss asks: My puppy bites people when she gets all amped up, playing or not. Not viciously but it hurts most of the time. How do we get her to stop?

How to Train Your Goldendoodle or Labradoodle

The Best Puzzle Toys to Keep Your Dog Busy
One recommendation I make to most of my clients is to find a way to incorporate puzzle toys into their dogs daily life. Ideally, every dog owner should have a few different types of puzzle toys, and for their dogs to only be fed via these delightful little enrichment devices. Why? It's like free training! All you have to do it fill it up, give it to your dog, and like magic your dog gets mental enrichment and physical stimulation without you having to do anything but watch and be entertained. As a trainer, I am very thankful so many companies have developed so many types of puzzle toys.

How to Train Your German Shepherd
German Shepherd training, in my experience, can either be very difficult or a breeze, it all depends on how well they were socialized as puppies. Socializing a German Shepherd is extremely important and if done properly, these dogs typically do well in most situations. A lack of early socialization can cause German Shepherds to suffer from serious and crippling anxiety and some issues that could develop include leash aggression, aggression with strangers, separation anxiety, and resource guarding.
