RETURN THE LOVE

See the world through your dog’s eyes. Observe them. Learn from them. Living with a dog is easier than living with a human. Create an environment that will support your dog. Provide them with healthy food, enjoyable mental and physical exercise along with positive guidance. Return the love and help them thrive ~ Tamara Tokash 

Look at every situation from your dog’s point of view!

Create a loving relationship with your dog.

Start training your puppy as soon as you bring him/her home!

Set your dog up for SUCCESS not failure

PRAISE your dog with enthusiasm each time he or she is doing good!


Focus on saying “YES!” good dog rather than “No!”

NEVER hit, yell or tease your dog. EVER!

Adopt force-free training. No choke or prong collars.

Use real food for TREATS & motivational dog TOYS to reward.

EXERCISE your dog appropriately & consistently. Daily. Make it FUN!


Avoid giving your dog commands that you know you cannot enforce.

Use your DOG’S NAME positively – not for reprimanding him/her.

Be consistent and fair

Do NOT train your dog when you are angry or frustrated.

WATCH your dog. You will learn quite a bit!

A well-behaved dog is a result of a well-behaved guardian. If you communicate to your dog in dog language, teach him/her humanely, while being consistent and patient, you will have a happy and Courteous Canine.
