“My dog doesn’t listen.” “He chews up the rug because he’s mad at me.” “My dog is just so stubborn!” As a trainer, I hear comments like this frequently, and I have a different perspective on such issues.

My husband and I recently welcomed a new dog into the pack (oh, joy!). I won’t mention that brings the total pups to…umm…five in the Baker Prince household! Ok, I guess I will mention it. Lacy came to us a few weeks ago after her owner passed away, and we’re thrilled we could offer [...]
We're all crazy busy, right? Shuttling kids from here to there and back again. Working from dawn to dusk. We can barely catch ourselves coming when we're going. It's truly a dog-eats-good-dog-food world out there, and we at DogBoy's want to keep it that way. That's why we've partnered up with Mr.Chewy, an online [...]
