Soleil-the-Golden-Retriever

Soleil-the-Golden-Retriever puppy
My name is Soleil, and I am both naughty and nice! I love to chew sticks, play fetch, and run in the yard. I’m a very smart little girl and am always looking for things to stick my nose into. I like to cuddle only when I’m ready for a nap. I am not afraid of anything except the vacuum cleaner, which sometimes gets me into trouble! Now that summer is here I love to splash in my little backyard pool, and play with as many doggy friends as I can!

The Emotional Bond between Dogs and People

The Deep Bond Between Dogs and Owners

Are dogs just pets that fulfill a need for companionship? Do you want a pet just have someone to walk around the block, to play fetch with or sit on your lap while you watch television? For some people, a profound emotional bond is formed from the first meeting. This deep feeling can and often does last the life of your pet. The support and love you have for your dog and in return the unconditional love your pet responds to you can and often does keep your life in balance. This bond between pets and owners often referred as being your “Heart Dog.” To learn more about this phenomenon this story from Dogster.com illustrates and explains the love between pets and owners.Lady_Treating_Dog

How old does your dog have to be to begin training?

One of the more frequent questions sent to doggiebuddy is: “How old does a dog have to be to begin training.” It is a great question because with some training methods, such as using a collar and leash to correct a puppy, you could potentially harm your dog. But that is not true with clicker training! You should begin clicker training as soon as you get your puppy.

To see what is possible check out this excellent video of Omar von Muller clicker training eight week old puppies!

Omar von Muller is the extraordinary dog trainer most famous for training Uggie the star of the movies “The Artist,” and “Water for Elephants.”

By beginning clicker training early you will avoid your dog learning a lot of bad behaviors.
