Well, another Furry Skurry has come and gone and the Grand Dog’s Team from Aunt Faye’s Dog Training had fun once again. It was a beautiful day, not too hot, not too cool, and best of all, no rain! It was a new experience for one of our team members and her dog. They were [...]

Behavior Changes

Schwartz is my German Shepherd. He is about 11 years old. When he first came here to live here, he would bark at anything and everything. He would bark, rear up and lunge at other dogs, trying to get at them. He was a hand full. But, luckily for him, there was something about him [...]

It’s hard to believe it’s the new year already. 2009. Wow. I’m not done making my list of resolutions yet. Oh well, I’ll still work on it. I think you can make a resolution to change at any time of year. So once again, I am going to resolve to post to this blog more [...]

I recently made a trip to Georgia to attend a workshop a friend and fellow trainer was giving at her training center. Cyndy Douan of the Georgia Dog Gym presented an informative workshop on Border Collies. I don’t own a Border Collie, but I do own Cap, who is an English Shepherd. English Shepherds are [...]
What it Means to Be Committed

Commitment. Big word. Something we don’t really think about applying to our dogs. But it is the most important aspect of dog ownership and your relationship with your dog. When you first bring your dog home, you are committing to keeping that dog fed, housed and exercised for the rest of his life. But our commitment doesn’t end [...]

Tonka is a big dog who belongs to a client here at Aunt Faye’s Dog Training. He is a very big dog, a Newfoundland. He weighs about 175 lbs. It’s very impressive to see him, everyone he encounters usually say something along the lines of “Wow.” He is quite friendly with people. He does drool a [...]

Yesterday was the Miami Valley Pet Therapy Association’s big fund raiser, the Howl-o-ween walk. It was a beautiful day for the walk, lots of dogs and owners participated not only in the walk, but also the vendor booths and the wonderful gift baskets that were raffled off. But the best part was the dogs. Even more so because it was dogs [...]

It’s that time of year again. Time for the annual Howl-o-ween walk to benefit the Miami Valley Pet Therapy Association, also known as mvPTa. Last year several of my students and their dogs, along with Cap and I, participated and we walked as a team, Aunt Faye’s Grand Dogs. This organization holds classes for those [...]

I seem to have this need to learn as much as possible about dogs and the things that they can be trained to do. Sometimes we get lucky and have a really big event happen close to home. The United Schutzhund Clubs of America WUSV 2008 World Championship was being held near Cincinnati this year. [...]
