Unpopular opinion LOL: group dog training classes teach your dog more than private lessons do. Not always. But more often than people think😃. Here's why:

Hot take: the best thing about group dog training classes isn't the training. What do you think it actually is? 👇

#DogTraining #ToplineK9Solutions

[Topline K9 Solutions @ToplineK9Solns]

Puppies in group classes meet significantly more dogs and people than those trained at home. That early exposure is what prevents fear-based behavior problems later.

Three weeks now saves years of struggle.

Your dog is perfect at home. A mess everywhere else LOL. Three weeks in group training fixes that. Here's everything you get for the price of a couple of takeout lunches. 🐾 https://t.co/10NLjsmfPJ

Freedom having a blast! Trained off leash dogs have extra fun 😍.

[Topline K9 Solutions @ToplineK9Solns]

Unpopular opinion LOL: basic dog training is part of disaster preparedness. An untrained dog at a shelter is harder to help, harder to comfort, and harder to reunite. The time to fix that is now. 🐾

If you had to evacuate with your dog in the next 2 hours, what's the one thing you'd wish you'd prepared? 👇

#DogSafety #ToplineK9Solutions

[Topline K9 Solutions @ToplineK9Solns]

Most emergency shelters don't accept pets. Red Cross shelters included. If your evacuation plan is "figure it out when we get there," that's not a plan.

Dog owners need an evacuation plan that includes their furry buddies. Here's what a dog disaster preparedness plan looks like:

Hot take 🐾

Most dogs who don't listen outside are not stubborn (exceptions: hounds 😂).

They were trained in one place and then asked to perform somewhere different.

Finish the process with outdoor distractions 😊

Dog training fact 🐾

Dogs don't generalize the way humans do.

When your dog learns Sit, they learn Sit in the kitchen at 7pm when mom stands near the counter.

Not "sit everywhere, always, no matter what."

Add distractions outside.

Your dog sits perfectly in your kitchen.

You ask for that same sit at the park and they look at you like you've never met. 😂

Happy National Pet Parents Day

To everyone who has:

Rearranged entire schedules for a vet appt.

Shared their pillow.

Bought expensive food.

Learned what calming signals are.

Cried at dog food commercials.

You're not a pet owner.
You're a pet parent.

Happy National Kids and Pets Day

The kids-and-dogs relationship is so beautiful.

It's also one of the most important to get right.

Most dog bites happen to kids.
Most are from the family dog.
Most come with warning signs.

Teaching kids to read dog body language is safety.

Calling the mosquito spray truck every spring isn't the flex you think.

Permethrin kills mosquitoes.
Also kills bees. Toxic to cats.
Stays in the environment.

A $5 Mosquito Dunk?
Kills ONLY mosquito larvae.

It's National Lost Dog Awareness Day

And the best ID tag in the world is a dog who comes reliably.

Not just in your kitchen. Outside. Around distractions. When something exciting is happening 10 ft away.
