“You’ve got to help me. My dog is out of control!” That’s the plea I heard from a nice lady in one of my group classes. She was speaking about her 18 month old male Pointer cross who she brought to class. “He’s just so wild. He gets these energy spurts all the time and […]
A client asked me, “What’s the best thing to do with our dog when we have holiday visitors over for drinks or dinner? Do we board him or crate him at home?” I thought to myself, “Now that’s a great question but read on, the answer is even better!” I would keep your dog at home. […]
In the middle of a dog lesson last week, the wife blurted out, “I have one set of rules for our dog and my husband has another set of rules! We argue about this all the time. This has got to be confusing to our dog!” Now, I’m no marriage counselor so I’ll happily keep […]

Can allowing your dog on the couch change his good dog behavior to bad dog behavior? Maybe. Some dogs begin to own and guard the couch. Having your dog on furniture could lead to growling, snapping or even biting to guard what they think is their space - but, it’s your couch. Some pet owners […]
My dog is out of control! This is what I hear from most people who call me for help with their dog’s behavior problem. They have a dog like Marley, you know, the yellow lab in the movie. I saw this movie before but it was on television again the other night and it got […]
See my video below Hi my name is Leah and my dog is Sophie. Sophie is an 18 month old Catahoula rescue. We had her for a couple of weeks and I discovered that my sweet little girl is a sweet little wild child. We worked with Jim Burwell before on 3 other dogs and […]
Do You Bark Like a Dog at Your Barking Dog? It’s true. I admit it. In the past, I would often times catch myself barking (hollering) like a dog at my dogs when I heard them barking. But hey, most folks are just as guilty as me for joining in on the barking […]
