Spending positive time together builds trust and creates a bond like no other.  Going for walks, hikes, runs can be a wonderful bonding experience. Not training related, just out for enjoyment save the training for another time. Hanging out watching television, listening to music or reading a book/magazine Giving belly rubs, rubbing their head, massaging their paws, or simply resting your hand on your pet promotes bonding and trust building.

We are just getting started and will keeping a video record of our progress on our YouTube channel Diorabelle and Kimberly. We are using a company called Woof Meow Hello. They have a great starter pack with 4 recordable buttons. It's very manageable and not overwhelming at all.

Heading out for a Summer walk? Test the ground first with the palm of your hand, if you cannot hold it there for 15 seconds it is too hot for your dog... skip the walk or put on shoes. Water play or boating at a lake, ocean or large body of water? Be sure to include a life jacket. Always bring water for both of you, there are many options for a portable pet bowl too. Make sure your leashes and collars are water friendly, you never know when you wanna cool off! Create a puppy bag for the car - include a towel, wipes, first aid kit, spare collar/leash, kibble/treats, CBD(if your pup is skittish or car sick), pet toy, blanket or car seat cover (in case of fun di...
