So…I’m simply going to build on what I spoke about last week. You should check out the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show concluding this evening on USA Network. Last night they featured dogs from the Hound, Toy, Non-Sporting, and Herding Groups. What you see on these televised shows are the breed winners from the day’s […]
It’s almost here! The 2015 Westminster Dog Show is next Monday & Tuesday (2/16 & 2/17) and the group competitions will be televised at 8pm. If you’ve never seen the Westminster Dog Show (or any dog show for that matter), don’t miss it – this is a SPECIAL one to see! Westminster is considered the […]
All dog owners should teach and master a command that gets their dog’s attention. I like to say “LOOK” but anything that is used specifically for this command is fine. This command is not to be confused with your dog’s name, as their name has no actual meaning – it’s not a command. Some […]
With the first (and hopefully only) blizzard of the year upon us, I thought I’d talk briefly about winter safety for our dogs. It’s so much fun for our dogs to romp and run in the snow or go for a nice long walk in the beautiful winter wonderland, but there are a few things […]
All of us face the challenge at one time or another: how do I exercise my dog in this lousy weather? Many dogs are under exercised on a good day (does your dog get the recommended 2 thirty minute walks a day?). Sometimes there are a variety of obstacles that prevent us from meeting […]
Ronan retrieving the paper at 8 1/2 weeks old! Yes it’s TRUE – January is National Train Your Dog Month! What a great reminder of what we should be striving to do each and every day. Training doesn’t need to be long and drawn-out. Simply try to take advantage of a few free moments […]
Remember that song? It’s a great one and still appropriate. I thought I’d talk briefly about my friends’ dog, (although…if I helped to name her can I say she is partially mine???) Tessa! Tessa is now 2 1/2 years old, and one of Ronan’s BFFs. I went with my friends, Sarah and Paul, when they […]
Everyone has the same story – “I’m just too busy to train my dog.” The truth is…we’re all VERY busy, but that’s no excuse for avoiding daily habits that have become (ahem) annoying to live with. Like the dog that gets crazy when the leash comes out, or the one who rushes out the door, […]
Merry, Happy, Joy… Ronan and I want to wish you and yours Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings, and the best wishes for 2015! Please stay safe and enjoy your time with your loved ones, especially the furry ones!!! Give them all hugs from us. Stacie & Ronan
‘Tis the season to be… People are jolly, festive, and enjoying the holiday spirit. Often this means lots of visitors, parties and TREATS! Our wonderful furry family members are often part of the mix, and although we know what their food limitations are, well-meaning guests may not. Pets visit emergency rooms and vets offices more […]
