Suzy Godsey was on the Cesar Millan Dog Whisperer show… “I would like to share something on the editing aspect of the show. I was on Cesar’s Dog Whisperer show as the first dog walker in action. I had two cases I had not been able to create a result with and applied for Cesar’s help. …
By Lynn – Since it has been a very busy time for me, I haven’t been able to blog on a regular basis–although, it should be well-known that it’s not unheard of to see certain lengths of time go by whilst I try to convince my brain to spew forth some quality material worth sharing. …
By Lynn – A few things happened in recent months. One was noted in the local suburban newspaper: in the police report section, a small blurb announced that a pair of women were cited for having their dogs off-leash in one of the city parks at 9am. Another occurred while I was walking Mallory at …
By Lynn – Another little tidbit that is thrown out when working with any dog, particularly for the first time, is to use only the least amount of force necessary in order to get the job done. It’s a good concept, and something everyone should keep in mind when training a dog, but the motive …
By Lynn – I’ve heard from a few back-woods types (and even some city-slickers who, if appearances were anything from which to judge, should have known better!) who insist that dogs, once they eat raw meat and “get the taste of blood in ’em,” can turn aggressive to people.

Aside form the fact that there already is a vast array of robot dogs, I would argue that, despite the outlandish goals of alchemy and other …
By Lynn – I’m not at all opposed to specific lists. I find them helpful in some ways, such as what to buy at the store or what chores I have to do around the house, and then there’s some situations where they are simply not applicable. Take driving as one example. My basic list …
By Lynn – I unintentionally got into a dog training debate at one of my favorite blogs, and promptly stepped back to state that I refuse to do tit-for-tat arguments, and my participation in this string of comments was over. (Amazingly, the other party continued to rant and rave while providing support that I was …
By Lynn – Let’s ignore for a moment the whole thing about killer whales, being a Not Domestic animal that usually travel about a hundred or so miles per day in a highly social (and large!) family group and is a very sound-oriented animal, being kept in a pool with only a few other members …
By Lynn – Apparently, at one point in time I mentioned some semi-regular posts about the progress made in Mallory’s training. Long story short, here is what happened back in January: I know she’s not that excited in the “I Am A Therapy Dog” tag picture, but that’s generally the face she’s giving us now …
