Crate training is one of the best things you can do to foster an excellent relationship between yourself and your canine companion. While you may feel a bit guilty about the mistaken notion that you’re “locking them up,” dogs instinctively look for small spaces when seeking shelter.

There are many types of “treats,” like praise and playing together. But, let’s face it, when most pet owners think about treats, they’re thinking about the food kind. It’s fun to see that look of delight on your pup’s face when you offer something tasty!

Have you noticed more dogs in stores and on planes lately? Have you considered bringing your pet with you as a comfort during travel or errands? In the last several years, there has been a considerable increase in the number of emotional support animals making news—and making the rounds in local establishments.
