Attention Bad Behavior Dog Owners!

Two weeks ago, I discovered a FREE online dog training workshop and after watching it, I started seeing results within a week with my dog's excessive barking when folks come to the door! This workshop starts you on the path to a well-behaved and obedient dog. 🐶 Yes, it really worked! He seems as obedient as a service dog now.

The best part! If you decide to upgrade to tackle more than one issue, it’s pre-recorded, so you can watch it anytime it works for you. It covers many issues like jumping, potty training, barking, leash pulling, biting, separation anxiety, lack of control, aggression towards people or other animals, destructive chewing, and other bad behaviors.

I can't recommend the workshop enough. It worked wonders for my dog and I want to share it with all my fellow dog owners and Weekly Tails fans! 🐕

Full transparency: I'm an affiliate partner of the training academy, but I'm sharing this because the free workshop helped me control my dog's excessive barking. They are running a limited-time offer now if you need more instruction.

• Flying With Your Pet: If you decide to fly with your pet, you will need to fill out specific forms. Whether your pet is a service animal or not, and whether it is traveling in the cabin or cargo, you should call your airline before purchasing your ticket to find out which paperwork is required. You should also talk with your veterinarian about how your pet will do on the plane. Your veterinarian can prescribe drugs to help with stress, but some pets are not well suited for flying.

Life Hacks and Trivia

• Use pet-friendly ice melt products on driveways and sidewalks to protect their paws and prevent ingestion of harmful chemicals.

• Shivering, lethargy, or whining are signs your pet is too cold. Bring them inside if you notice these behaviors.

• If outdoor play isn’t an option, keep your pet active indoors with toys, puzzle feeders, and games to burn off energy.

• Prevent Frostbite: Pay attention to sensitive areas like ears, tails, and toes. If they seem too cold, bring them inside immediately.

• Reduce exposure to cold temperatures by taking shorter, more frequent walks, especially during freezing weather.

Pet Pro Tips:

If you take your pets for winter walks on sidewalks or other pedestrian surfaces, consider that they may be covered with IceMelt or similar chemical products that are not good for their paws. Clean your pet’s paws when you get back to the house. Also, consider boots to protect their paws.
