The Human Canine Connection

Available beginning late May to early August!

Totally free! At SUNY Cobleskill! Come support students and learn about enrichment!
Please share!!

This is devastating! This is another reason why it is so important to do your research!
Request to tour the entire facility.
Pay attention to details: is the facility clean, free from extreme odors and organized? How are the dogs acting? Are the kennels/areas where dogs are clean-is water available? Are there visible organization methods present-whiteboards/schedules/dog info? How does the staff seem-happy, miserable, anxious?

There are so many red flags that can help you determine if a facility is right for your dog. Of course some put on a good show at face value but many can easily be weeded out.

If you need help checking out facilities, reach out to me!

3 years of creating and building human canine connections! It wouldn’t have been possible without all of the love and support of my husband, a few close friends and my amazing clients.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Unpopular opinion:
Experience training working dogs for work doesn’t equal knowledge for pet dog training in pet homes.

A unique opportunity from a colleague at SUNY Cobleskill!

We often forget, even for our own species, that aggression is a normal behavior and serves a purpose.

It is scary and stressful when it occurs with our pet dogs. Addressing aggressive behaviors with punitive or corrective methods is a fast way to be bit not to mention damage your relationship with your dog. This is true for us. Just ask anyone who has ever told their spouse to “calm down” when they are angry!

Aggression occurs for a number of reasons and the sooner you learn the “why“ behind the behavior the better. Do not wait until things become more serious to get help. Sometimes one bite is all it takes to ruin a dog‘s chance of a happy life.
