Tips for Choosing Your Dog's Perfect Vet

DOGTV is all about dogs, canine enrichment technology and the human-animal bond. We also know that a well-trained dog is a happier, healthier dog. Why? Because many dogs are surrended because of behavior issues and we know that can be avoided.
I admit that because I have tiny dogs (a toy and a mini poodle) that I assumed, “they don’t need to be trained — they’re so small!) That thinking has gotten me chewed computer cords, uncontrollable barking and not coming when I call. My poodle, Henrietta, who passed away recently didn’t chew anything, but she barked all the time, she was a resource guarder (and I was usually the resource she guarded) and if I called her she would come… if she felt like it.
Thankfully, Henrietta didn’t bark in public — she was amazingly well-behaved. Because she was always on a leash when we were outside, if she didn’t come when I called, I figured I was pretty secure in her not running away.
Now with my rescue poodle, Hazel, who has a lot of fear issues from whatever happened to her before I rescued her and my new eight-week-old poodle, Archie, I want to have them trained. Hazel is learning by watching Archie and Archie is well on the road to being well trained — house training is my first goal!
