Posted to: News & Entertainment
A coworker's husband just brought in their 10-week old yellow Lab pup!!! His name is Oakley. I refrained from asking any questions about where they got him (I just frankly don't want to know if they did the petstore or BYB thing) but he was SOOOO cute! He let all of us pet him (his Daddy held...

Corn allergy (among others)

As many of you know, I am a trainer at our local Petco. I have to follow strict lesson plans, and I am supposed to follow how they recommend training exactly. but, it doesn't work for all dogs, so I tend to throw in a few of my own things as well. I always prefer to use positive reinforcement as...

I posted this in the training section but wasn't getting any replies. So I thought maybe I should repost elsewhere. I just recently started with a clicker. The pom has down, sit, and finger touching down thus far. So, my question is...sometimes, he gets the hand signals mixed up. Do I...

Walks in the freezing cold
Posted to: News & Entertainment
Should I do anything differently when taking my 9 month old lab out for his walks when the weather is very cold? It is 8 degrees right now and windy. Should I buy him a sweater or dog coat? We walk in the woods and fields off leash so I don't have to worry about salted roads.

Posted to: News & Entertainment
I went and got a Kong for my soon-to-be adopted Golden Retriever. I went to their website, and they recommend an Extra Large one for a GR. It just seems a little big. So that made me wonder what size do all of you use for your dog?
