Today’s Doggie Dish pawscast is about training when there are multiple dogs in one household.  It’s not as easy as it sounds; and unfortunately, even if one dog is trained it doesn’t rub off on the other dogs.   This episode is about how to make certain you are the one influencing all your dogs, not the dogs influencing each other.

Believe it or not, having your dog’s attention is not the same thing as getting your dog’s attention.  The former is much more important than that latter.  More often than not, if you have the first part, the second part falls into place without much work.  The other way around is much more difficult.  In today’s show we discuss why having your dog’s attention is better, and the ways to make that happen.

This newest pawscast is about getting your dog to walk without pulling on the leash.  We call it “loose leash walking”, not “heeling”.

Best Friends Animal Society is having a huge, and I mean HUGE adoption event in Los Angeles on May 23rd from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.  There will be plenty of adoptable animals there so if you are looking for an addition to your family please join us.  There will also be an “Ask the Trainer” booth, where you can ask the trainers questions about your own dog, or even about a dog you may be considering adopting there at the event.  Kim, my co-host from Doggie Dish, and I will be manning the booth all day along with some other trainer friends.  So stop by and ask us some questions, or just chat with us about dogs for a while!
