DOG BEHAVIOR

As much as we love our dogs, their behavior can be really hard to understand.

Some behaviors feel very normal to a dog, but just don't work in the human world. (Counter surfing comes to mind.) Since it is human rules, it is our responsibility to teach them to our dogs in a loving, patient, and humane way.

It is advisable to contact us regarding classes and consultations for behavioral issues. In addition we have written these articles to help you!

--> Socialization - What is it, and why is it so important?
--> Puppy Biting (mouthing)
--> Chewing
--> House training
--> The Canine Coach - More training articles.

A ROTTA LOVE RESCUES

A Rotta Love, a local rescue group focusing on Rottweilers and Pitt Bulls has some very adoptable dogs who have been long over looked. One of these girls has been there since she was rescued from Hurricane Katrina. If you are considering rescuing either of these breeds please consider these pups.
