		<description><![CDATA[My fascination with and love of dogs keeps me always pushing my education as a certified dog trainer forward. From ears to tail, there is much to learn and understand.  Lately, I’ve reading about the dog’s sense of smell. In fact, dogs use their noses more readily than they use their eyes. When you come [...]]]></description>

My husband, Jeff, was not happy with me. Our oldest cat, 18-year-old Pumpkin was not doing well and needed special care and now&#8230; a puppy. A 9-week-old puppy that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The whole family should be involved in training &#8211; consistency is key! Teaching your puppy to “Come” (Recall) is so incredibly important – perhaps the most important behavior he will ever learn. It could keep your dog out of trouble or maybe save his life someday. Young puppies will easily come to you when called. [...]]]></description>
