Dog Crate Training Testimonial

This testimonial comes from a client that I have been working with for several months.  After much consistency and patience, he finally had success with crate training!  I hope that his message will be an encouragement to all of you during the crate training process:

Dear Shelby,

It has been a while, but I am back with good news.  Lola has accepted her crate.  It was a slow progression, but by about 6 months after our last correspondence she suddenly stopped messing with her crate.  Prior to that she would go a week or two and then have an incident.  Towards the end she would reach about 2 or 3 weeks without any incidents.  At about the 6 month mark, though, it was almost like a switch went on in her brain and she didn't bother with messing up her bedding, hiding her toys, or chewing on the crate.  The bedding is perfect and she leaves her toys on top of the bedding and does not try to hide them anymore.  She is calm and relaxed when we leave and doesn't show too much excitement when we are home.  We were consistent the entire time during her training.

She always received plenty of exercise the night before.  We did add in the crating her 30 minutes before departure to our routine (normally 10 minutes before).  We also didn't immediately let her out or get excited when we came home.

I would like to thank you for the advice and support.

Regards,
Dan/Cassie & Lola

Dog Flea and Tick Control- New Solution!

Dog flea and tick control is vitally important for our pets, especially if you live in a more humid climate.   For example, I live in Pennsylvania and it is beyond humid this summer!  I normally use all of the high end  products for flea and tick control, but, quite frankly, I was tired of always putting harsh chemicals on my  dogs skin.  Plus, those products can become ridiculously expensive.  Is there another option??   Let's just say...I've done some successful research. Ark Naturals Neem Protect Shampoo and Spray has proven itself to be quality products!  I am blown-away  how this all-natural flea and tick option has kept those nasty bugs away from my dogs.  I take them on  regular walks through neighborhoods and I have a huge backyard that they frolic in daily.  Who knew a  quick shampoo and spray once every 2 weeks would do the trick! I have been using Ark Naturals Neem Protect Shampoo and Spray  (separate bottles) for a month now and  have yet to find a flea, tick, or mosquito bite on them.   Since these products cost approximately $13/bottle  (will last for 2 months for 2 dogs), I am definitely saving money compared to $30/month for the more  expensive line of flea and tick control. Since I have yet to try this product on hikes and heavily wooded areas, I am personally not sure how  effective Ark Naturals Neem Protect Shampoo  and Spray can be in these situations.  However, I have read several reviews of people that have successfully used this product in those areas. I hope that you will give these great products a try.  It's good to know that we can still give your dogs quality care/protection while saving money! Remember, you will need to spray your dog appropriately for this products to be effective.  Check out my video for further instructions: Neem Protect Spray
