Recently, a client of mine purchased the GoDogGo, an automatic fetching machine for her high energized pup.  At first sight, I couldn’t help but laugh a little bit.  However, if you were around this little guy for about 15 minutes, you would understand why they absolutely needed it.  We got to try it out at the park and it does launch tennis balls pretty far! Riley didn’t really like the sound of the machine as it was on but its something she would be able to get used to.  The trick is to train your pup to put the ball back into the bucket to launch it again.  Or if your dog doesn’t seem to pick up on that, you can put 20 tennis balls at a time in the bucket and it will launch them every 7 to 15 seconds.  Now, I have always been a fan of the Chuckit myself.  I like to be apart of the fun when playing with Riley.  But, if you have a dog that is just go go go!  And you don’t have the energy to keep up, then the GoDogGo is pretty cool. 

In my mind, Riley is perfect.  She gets along great with other dogs, listens very well and she does what shes told.  However, that all happened by accident.  I just happened to adopt a dog that was very easy to deal with and train.  Some people wish they could say the same.  If you are looking for a good place to learn how to train your pup then Zen Dog Training is the place to go.  The people there are amazing and they absolutely love what they do.  If you are looking for in-home training or group classes they have both. What I really love about Zen Dog is that they don’t just help train your pup but they train you as well.  They way dogs learn how to behave is by shes or hers owner constantly reinforcing training techniques over and over again.  Zen Dog teaches you everything you need to know so that you can reinforce those techniques in your own home.  They use fun and modern training techniques so you and your pup wont just be learning, but you will be having a great time doing it too.  It is a great way to get to know your dog better and it will bring the two of you closer together.
