Traveling this summer? Can't take your dog with you? Too far? Not well enough trained for the demands of travel??

Never have to leave your dog home again. Our schedules can fluctuate to meet your traveling needs.

Happy Summer Travels everyone! Come home to a trained dog. Call us to schedule summer camp for your dog now!

Matsuri Festival, Phoenix, AZ: Maryna and the shibas will be doing demos Saturday pm, Feb. 25, and Sunday pm February 26, 2012 at the Matsuri Festival in Heritage Square, Phoenix, AZ. Look for us at the Shiba Inu booth in the big bamboo ramada.

You had a dog when you were a kid and you never "trained" him and he was great. So why all this training stuff??? Why can't we just live with Fritz. He'll figure it out....right?? Spot always did.

Yes, there are still dogs like that, and families with tons of time to spend with their dog - but the complexity of modern life, makes that increasingly rare. Back "then", in that mythical world where dogs trained themselves, many families had a stay at home Mom, who actually did things with the dog while everyone was gone. Plus, it is highly likely that Spot went everywhere with the kids, all over the neighborhood, with other kids and other dogs. So in reality, "training" went on for hours every day. Expectations were laid down and dogs were expected to follow them - the very foundation of training. It's just that we didn't call it training, we called it life. Dogs were "trained" in the cauldron of neighborhood life. Dogs that didn't cope with that were gotten rid of.

But in today's world of leash laws, diminished open space, and planned activities for children - not free neighborhood time, dogs don't interact with the world at large, buffering their behaviors in the process. Dogs live much more isolated lives in the cauldron of energy of a particular individual household. They still need the same level of skills and behaviors, but now the only person who is going to teach that to Fritz is you.

So why train your dog??

1. All living creatures crave stability.
