Time to have fun

It's warm weather and time for fun. Find things that both you and your dogs like to do. A trip to the park is great. Remember bring water for you and your dog. I like using a six foot leather lead, I have more control if I should need it.
Look in your yard for more fun for your dog. How about a basket ball. My dogs love balls, I often have to retrieve it, they get so excited they knock it out of the yard.
I will be back soon.

Well, we have finally have some warm weather. It is a good time to start walking those pups. Taking a few treats in your pocket will help you keep pups eyes on you. First step, when you start your walk give a treat to pup so they no you have something good. That way if they find something that you don't want them to do, you get another treat out to get their attention and they get it when they leave what ever it might be (maybe another dog barking in a yard). This will make your walks a little easier. Walking is not just good for our pups, but it's good for us too. Have fun and enjoy your walks.

Cold Weather

It is the season to be watching your pups. Those of you that have outside dogs. Really need to think about bringing them in when the tempter drop. Watch those water bowl. And increase their food, because to keep warm takes fat and if they are eating the same as in good weather they will lose weight. If they seems to licking their feet alot, check them they may have ice between them.
Those good people that are walking their dogs, be sure to watch their feet. With salt on the sidewalks, it is hard on their pads. I have recently heard of putting bag balm on their pads to help. And for those short coated dogs get them a sweater to wear. On the medium size dogs, sometime a toddler sweater with a little of ajustment can fit.
Have a great New Year.
