What's included?
As much as we don’t want to think about losing our pets, end of life is an important and often undiscussed part of being a pet owner. Losing a beloved pet can be heart wrenching, confusing, and traumatic. Many times, pet owners don't know where to turn for answers, information, and support in trying and difficult times. Having a solid background in how to deal with various situations related to death and dying, can help when faced with the loss or impending loss of a pet.
Even though these subjects make many of us uncomfortable, it is important information to have and understand when you are faced with a terminally ill pet. Dealing with the loss of a pet is every bit as traumatic as losing a human family member.

What does reward based dog training mean?
Reward based dog training or positive reinforcement dog training uses praise and/or treats to reward your dog for doing something you want him to do. Dogs quickly learn what behavior to repeat to get praise and rewards. Reward based training does not use punishment, force, or any type of training device that injures or hurts your dog.
