Mybabyjasmine : For your little ones start by putting them in one puppy proofed room. I also use a DAP diffuser with them and also give them lots of kongs stuffed with treats and hide around the area to give them something to do went you are not there. I also take the time to find or ask for the protocal for sepration anxiety and get to work on it for both of them.


Zenzele :
Being baffled is what I am more then not by some owners and want a be dog trainers that just do not understand what a dog is or is not.
Some are truly just learning and need guidance and support and not put downs.
Others just need a short sharp comments to make them think.
There are some that truly do not care.
There are some that think they know everything and are working on old knowledge and old ways ans you can turn blue trying to explain to them just how out they are.

It is the knowing of which is which that makes us good teachers.
We all made mistakes and we all are still learning.
I can get testy as anyone at the foolishness that comes out of both owners and trainers fingers at times.
Mostly those calling themselves trainers or behaviorists when idea they are not but we have to be careful. I say this to myself as well that we are gentle with the new ones until we know they are aware enough that the silly stuff coming out their fingers is indeed silly not just a honest request for help from a place of being a new dog owner and truly not knowing.
We all started learning dogs once upon a time and did not know as much as we do now and we learned some of what we know from this place.
