Dog Training For Urban Living: October Dog Events and Activites in San Diego

Shared via AddThis

Cool dog friendly places and thing to do with your dog. Dog training is really about what we do with our dogs every day all day. Go have some fun and end up with a well balanced dog! Hint* Do some exercise with your dog BEFORE the event. Take the edge off... then go chill and have some fun.

This is the hardest thing about what I do. There are dogs I train that I really bond with. There are dogs that do amazing things, come so far… learn so much, and are so endearing.

Tucker was one of those. Of course, the "was" is key. I got the e-mail and when the subject line came up, I knew before I opened it. Tucker had passed away. He passed away before his time. He was only 7. The pictures tell it all… a yellow lab that was full of it! Such a cool dog.

Tucker did have an issue with dog aggression… and his owners did so much for him. They came to me for training and Tucker's life changed. He wasn't able to leave his yard, to being able to go out and walk and enjoy all the cool places around in San Diego. He got to walk all over Del Mar… just a couple of weeks ago he was down in LaJolla on the beach on a nice long walk. Granted he never really did love dogs… but he learned to deal. Tucker's life was great and his owners so loved him.

Losing him is tragic. I'm so very sad about it. We don't know what caused it at this point. He just started throwing up and it went down hill from there. He was rushed into the vet… but no one knows what really was wrong… he just didn't make it.

I wish I could explain it… it's so sad. The loss of a dog is the hardest… the best friend…. the livelihood of a household. My heart goes out to his owners…. I know them and I know how hard this is. When I made the call to talk… I had a hard time keeping it together. Tucker holds a place in my heart.

Love your dog… love all the moments of your life & theirs. It's really short… and there's so much to love.

I love you Tucker… I'm so happy that I got to be a part of your very special life.

The holidays are here, in fact in full swing.  If you walked into a Starbucks anywhere in the the US it was Christmas about 4 weeks ago... never the less, now it is here for certain.

This year at K9 Coach we've decided to embrace it fully.  It really isn't about the presents and the commercial spending... though please feel free if you've got it... it makes our economy go round and round!  And in that light, go out and buy something really cool for your dog!

More importantly for you and your dog.... spend some time with your dog.  It will be good for you.  It will be good for your dog.  Dogs are very well equipped to deal with emotions.  They are real.  They are in the moment.  Stop yourself from the wild gotta get everything done, and go out for a nice long walk with your dog.  And then do that every day!  It will be the greatest gift to yourself!

I love my dogs, and I love my my clients dogs (well most of them)... they are part of our families and the holidays is a great time to give the greatest gift you have... your love and appreciation for the loyalty of the your dog's wagging tail EVERY time you come home!

gidget's here this week coaching with the k9 coach dog training camp. she was originally rescued from a shelter. now she's a dog every one loves. she got the chance to get some great training.

now she trains others. dogs do mimic one another you know. be a dog like gidget. go to dog training camp.

people have questions all the time about what is the best training for their dog.... the best way I can answer that is get some training that actually works. if you are looking for dog training and have talked to several trainers you should go with the one that you have the feeling is best with your dog. it's the blink theory.... you do know.

many times you have to take some factors that jump out in front of that "blink" feeling and choose what you know it is the right thing... like price. definitely don't decide on the training based on price and by this, i mean the cheapest choice usually isn't the one you should pick!

go with what will work! and ask the trainer a key question... are you good at what you do? the answer tells what kind of passion as well as how the trainer truly feels about what they do.... it's a concept you should think about in anything you are looking to get some coaching in.... whether it be career, lessons for you or for your dog!
