Training Tips and Tricks
Does your dog kiss you OR kiss-to-dismiss you?
Snuffles loves kissing us when we first come home or after he comes inside and is “reunited” with us. He also loves my husband’s bald head. 😆
Pudgie only licks the couch or bed occasionally when he’s trying to relax or when he seems happy.
Schmoo will definitely give a kiss-to-dismiss, and yet, he frequently licks his lips likely due to an underlying medical condition and side effect of meds.

#ysdlearnCan your dog say NO?
This dog is uncomfortable because this toddler is using a loud voice and is staring down the pup eye to eye...
If there is no relief soon, this dog could bite the child in the face. This is a large risk when kids are face to face with dogs.
If you see your dog feeling uncomfortable, step and offer help.
Contact your vet NOW if your dog is sound sensitive/firework phobic/or you just don’t know how your dog will react. Once your dog is panicked, there is very little you can do without medication. I know firsthand now, Pudgie became firework phobic this year for the first time in 8 years!
