Collars & Leashes

People don't realize how important it is to have the right collar and leash, and have a enjoyable walk. The biggest thing I laugh about is seeing someone with a large dog and one of those retractable leashes. They let their dog get way out there and expect them to come back with the retraction. Bad set up. Personally, I don't think those leashes are good for anything but little dog's at the park that want to sniff everything. To me that's not enjoyable! Even being a little dog owner, I want my dog to walk beside me and have fun. Small dog's, once obedience trained, should have a harness. That's the ONLY thing harnesses are good for. As long as you have control of your dog they can be used. Most of your medium to large dogs should have a training collar or a choke chain for maximum control. I use a Martingale type collar on my dogs that gives you a good corrective jerk when needed. A nylon or leather six foot leash works the best. Always ask a professional trainer, not a Petsmart salesman, which set up will give you the best results.

It's about the dogs

I've had dogs all my life, all kinds of dogs. From the tiniest of Chihuahua's to the largest of German Shepard's, and all dogs in between. Pure breeds to mutts, and all can be very good pets. Just like most people I too have a favorite breed of dog, witch really isn't that important because I love them all, but what I didn't realize was how important it was to socialize your animal. This has become a big part of my life now. I want to help people see how important this really is. It was an issue that perplexed me too, as a dog owner, until I started training professionally. This is what I enjoy doing the most, and I hope to share it with everyone.
