If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then giving Fido only two of them.

DO YOU RELATE TO ONE OF THESE SCENARIOS?
I really want a puppy but I’ve never had a dog before and I just don’t know 
where to start with the whole process. No doubt about it, puppies can be a lot of work and it is normal to feel overwhelmed. You may be asking yourself what kind of puppy should you get? From where -a breeder? shelter? How will you juggle a puppy with work? Can you afford a puppy? You may also be getting conflicting advice from your friends and co-workers about when to start training and how to train. Solution: In-your-home Puppy Primer private sessions that can start now, so you are prepared for your puppy's arrival. Your personal DOGTIME® Canine Coach is here to save you time and worry -- contact us now to set up your first "pre-puppy" appointment to answer all your questions.
I’m so excited! I’ll be picking up my puppy in 2 weeks but I have a ton of 
questions about crate training, housetraining, separation anxiety, socialization and a bunch of other stuff. This will be a big change for you and you may be getting conflicting advice from everyone – never use a crate / you must use a crate (plastic? Or wire?), use pee pads / never use pee pads, use treats for training / never use treats for training (how old should the dog be before I start training anyways?) and what exactly is meant by socializing, just meeting different dogs and people? … oh the confusion! The single, most crucial month in your puppy’s life is the first month in your home. Solution: In-your-home, Puppy Primer private sessions. Your personal DOGTIME® Canine Coach will be there to answer all your questions and ensure that your puppy learns the Essential Lessons That Every Puppy Needs to Know.
The greatest pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him, and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself, too.

I just got a puppy and feel overwhelmed with all the nipping, biting, peeing 
& chewing. Ah, yes, the puppy bites … those sharp little teeth hurt, don’t they? You have scratches that will turn into ugly scars on your skin and scratches that turn into costly repairs on your furniture. Puppies want to chew everything too and may have already destroyed your books, shoes, kids’ toys, remote controls not to mention the highly coveted chew item -- expensive lingerie! And the pee! Have the carpet cleaners come to your house yet to clean up the pee and poo stains? In addition to these puppy issues, you may be fed up with your puppy howling at night, pulling on the leash, barking at everything and jumping on people too. Solution: In-your-home Puppy Primer private sessions or our KinderPuppy group puppy classes. Your personal DOGTIME® Canine Coach will show you how to control the chaos and STOP all these problems so you can simply enjoy your new puppy.
I love my puppy! She seems just perfect right now but I’ve heard horror 
stories about how they change in adolescence. Some of those horror stories are true! One day you may wake up and your puppy completely ignores you … she won’t come when called anymore, she won’t walk nicely on the leash anymore, she might start to play rough with other dogs and start chasing everything that moves --including the family cat! This will cause frustration, worry & anger to the point where some people give up and surrender the dog to a shelter. Problems in adolescence do not start in adolescence -- they begin in puppyhood. Although your puppy seems perfect now, what you are teaching her (and believe me, we are always teaching something – hopefully the right thing!) now will determine how she behaves in adolescence. Solution: In-your-home Puppy Primer private sessions or KinderPuppy group puppy classes. Your personal DOGTIME® Canine Coach will ensure you are teaching your puppy the right lessons at the right time in the right way.
I've seen a look in dogs' eyes, a quickly, vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts.
