Going for walks with your dog should be an enjoyable activity that you can do together to help your dog get some physical and mental exercise! Training your dog to heel the right way will make walking with your dog easier and more enjoyable. We have broken down the training process into 5 easy steps to help you get started.
Most dogs are pretty food motivated, as well as curious and opportunistic. Which means if they have an opportunity while not being supervised to investigate that delicious smell from the countertop they probably will! Which is why we try to eliminate that as an option from day 1. When you bring your new puppy home, they are too small to be able to reach the countertop, though they may jump at the cabinets, your stuff (for the time being) is still safe! However, that will change pretty quickly, so we want to nip that behavior in the bud now!
Hi, Kat with Standing Stone Kennels, and this is Rogue and we just got done camping over the 4th of July. And it was a good experience for Rogue, but also kind of exhausting for us because she really likes to pull on lead. So that gave us a good indication that she is ready to start heeling using our easy lead, because she likes to, well, she's paying attention to bugs and stuff right now, but she really likes to pull and then work her way around your legs and get all tangled up and get herself all tangled up.
Potty training your puppy can be difficult! We all want to move through this stage of accidents quickly, because no one wants to clean up messes constantly. Keep in mind that puppies are babies and they don’t have fully developed bladders yet and, unfortunately, some puppies are just messier than others.
Congratulations!! You’re getting a new puppy and the fun is about to begin! However, in order to be prepared for your new fuzzy bundle of joy, there are a few things you should have on hand to make that transition home easier. These are the items we recommend in order to set your puppy up for success in their new home.
As a pet owner, I’ve been faced with some big costs related to veterinary care over the time I have had my two dogs. I didn’t buy pet insurance for my dogs, instead choosing to set aside money for their care.
