Valentine’s Day with Your Dog

Web_VDay_Nemo_lick Valentine's Day isn't just for people. Here are some ideas to help you share Valentine's Day with your dog.

  1. Find an extra half-hour in your schedule and spend some time giving your dog belly rubs.
  2. Get out and take a nice long walk with your bud.
  3. Plan play-time. What are your dog's favorite toys? Get 'em all out and have a grand old time. 
  4. Invite some of his dog pals, too!
  5. Give your dog an extra-special treat in his food bowl. Something really yummy that's a special treat. Maybe some yogurt? Cream cheese?  
  6. And before you do that, scrub out those food and water bowls until they sparkle.
  7. Get a cool new collar for your pal. And a new leash, too!
  8. Spend a few minutes with your dog, enjoying the quiet (or the chaos – whichever suits you both!).

What People Are Saying

Smart Dog U really helped me deal with my first puppy and help me grow her (Etta) into a sweet little girl. Without that training from SDU this would have been a tough journey.

Ingrid Copeland

We did in-home training and group classes which helped us welcome Ember into our family. Her understanding of both dogs and busy families made the training easy and guilt-free.

Beth Schillaci

Thank goodness I discovered Smart Dog University! Laurie’s methods quickly made me realize that I was the one in need of training. The end result: A well behaved pup (Kasey) who is a true companion!

Matt Church

Laurie is someone Your Dog’s Friend depends on for good information on dog behavior and training presented in an engaging, understandable way. She has done free workshops for us; we have used her articles in our newsletter; and she is a trainer whom I can refer people to with total confidence.

Debra Ekman, Your Dog’s Friend

Laurie is a very knowledgeable and experienced trainer. She does a wonderful job with both the dog and owner. She is easily approachable and genuinely wants to make sure you and your dog are getting the most out of her classes.
