Old Dog, New Tricks?

Tuesday Training Tip: There is no truth to the saying that "You can't teach an old dog new tricks".

Dogz will be offering free behavior evaluations every Tuesday in December from 4pm - 6pm Please call or message to set up an appointment (775) 219-4121 www.dogztraining.com

Growling is Good!

Training Tip Tuesday: Did you know that GROWLING is GOOD? Growling is your dogs way of telling you that there is a problem that needs to be fixed.
