Should play include mouthing?

Hello,
Want to touch base on this topic tonight. When you play with your puppy or adult dog is it good play? Or is it rough play? Your asking why would it matter its only a dog why yes it is a dog but what kind of behavior are you placing in its mind? Ask yourself this do I want a dog that will be good when my family comes over and brings there kids? Or do I want a little brat when the kids are playing the dog thinks its ok to bite and then what happens? You have family that is mad at you plus your dog maybe label vicious  do you really want that? I didn't think so, so why start always play nice and when it gets rough stop and do something else.
Thank you

Hopi & Her day at the calico rock prison

Hello,
As we are the trainers for the paws in prison program for calico rock we took hopi out with us on wed and man did she have a great time she got to meet all the handlers and most of the staff along with doing some doing some demos with her rally that she has been training for since she was 7 weeks old plus she did a little demo of reading flash cards for them and did really good but the fun part was when the handlers took her outside and one of them took off running and she was right with him barking and both of them had a smile on there face then another handler took her rope toy and did the same thing the only thing was hopi just stood there watching him run looking at him like he was doing it for no reason as we just stayed there laughing as he heard us he stopped and looked back and then called her and she was off running to him. she even took part in the training class once at home she was out like a light for the rest of the day/night. she did really good out there.

Holidays Coming

Hello,
Well with the holidays coming up fast we should take a moment to think about our pets and what we may need to do about them around all the holiday decor, you know that some decor/plants will kill your pets as will human food so its best to always do some looking before you place that plant on the floor where your dog or cat can get to it. and remember that a dog will get into the trash when you throw that turkey away and they can choke on the bones. so take it out to the trash and never feed your pet pie its not good for them sugar can make them sick and in some cases kill them.
