Kody’s about two and a half years old now, although it feels like he’s been with me longer than that. But taking him on a walk is a lot easier now. He doesn’t bark at random stuff, and I’ve even trained him to be calm when other dogs bark, which is amazing. If he sees [...]

pupu1 This has been a bit of a tough week as I’ve been sick. It’s made me realize that my stress level is way way too high. So I’ve been thinking of things to drop from my life and it feels great. One of the things I’ve decided to drop is any and all frustration [...]

Kody had his best door greeting today ever with no barking whatsoever. However, rather than run to his mat to get a treat, he runs to this corner of the couch. I’m not entirely sure what that means, but it’s a common theme for him. So today, before I let the guest in I got [...]
