The 10 a.m. class filled, both classes had perfect attendance, and Ramona brought her A game despite extreme wind this morning and a lack of exercise this week. This marks my 11th group class since I started training dogs — my…

    We are fostering a poodle mix for a few days this week while I’m on spring break. Lulu ended up at Paws and Claws because her human died. Lulu is a nice little dog, but she doesn’t like walking on a leash and has a reputation for fighting over food. We’re trying to help her…

    My winter 2023 obedience class just wrapped up Saturday morning. This was the most dedicated group I’ve ever seen. Everybody did the homework. Nobody quit halfway through the class. All of the dogs had mastered all the commands by the fifth week of class, so I decide to do something new with this last class:…

    I’m thankful for many things tonight. I’m thankful for my dogs. I’m thankful for Ron, who puts up with my dog-training addiction. I’m thankful for clients like Zeus and his dad, whose hard work and commitment to training make me look good. Check out the awesome job they did during class Sunday:
