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
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.

So when I purchased this year’s holiday hibiscus plant, I managed my dogs behavior, with {Read More}
