April Fools’ Day is here, and my Dobermann, who has a huge sense of humor, pulled one on me. He loves to figure out ways to get my attention, so ringing the doorbell was a good idea, he thought. And it was. It got me out the door and talking to him. His bottom teefies, which were apparently telling me he didn’t understand where I was coming from, were comical. Training a dog or puppy humanely, with food and positive {Read More}

Housetraining and Play Time Puppies and Dogs
February 21, 2021 By
When dogs and puppies come to Outsmarting Dogs board-and-train, they get training and if compatible, playtime with my dog. This 5-month-old Labrador wanted to play with my girlie dog for a week. He flirted with her through the barrier in the house and they liked each other. My dog is excellent with other dogs, and puppies need to learn to play nice with adult dogs, so I let them have time together on a very windy Sunday afternoon. Neto, the {Read More}

Board-and-Train Dog From Weston Florida
December 30, 2018 By
Bailey is a pint-sized pooch I board-and-trained who was from Weston, Florida. As a Yorkie, she was already a small dog, but as a terrier, she was rambunctious and bossy. She was about to get a roommate dog and needed to cope with other dogs. This small dog spent several weeks at Love Wags A Tail board-and-train dog training outside of Weston to learn other household dogs are safe and that her behavior was unacceptable. Here’s a snippet of Bailey’s {Read More}
How To Protect Your Holiday Plants From Your Pet Dog
December 23, 2018 By
Instead of getting a pointsettia for the holidays, a red hibiscus bush is a great substitute. Unlike pointsettias, which are poisonous to dogs, hibiscus flowers are edible. Both humans and dogs eat hibiscus flowers. My dogs pull hibiscus flowers off my trees and bushes even before the day is done, so I’m lucky if I get to see the flower for much of the day. So when I purchased this year’s holiday hibiscus plant, I managed my dogs behavior, with {Read More}
