Recently I wrote a post on how my husband and I have been working to help our very noise/vibrations reactive, young Carolina Dog, Ezra. That post is Dances With Dogs (a podcast is also available on that post). Ezra watching for the neighbor dogs Ezra’s noise/vibration reactivity has been one of the hardest things I’ve had to deal with in one of my own dogs. I say one of the hardest because my former Great Dane...

Ezra’s snowy face The funny thing is, I’ve played this game with ALL of my dogs as an ADULT – true “adulting” if you ask me! Dogs can help us get into THEIR world when we play games with them. It helps us to bond with them and build trust as well as train in a fashion they respond to very well. The two dogs that I’ve had the absolute MOST fun playing this game with have been my former Neo Mastiff...

At least it was cultured and pretty BEFORE Ezra, EEK! The thing is, we...

He thought he was the boss of me from day one 😂 On July 23rd, Ezra turned a year old. He has been with us now for just over 10 months. 🐕 It’s been hard for us in oh so many ways. He’s super intelligent, high energy and very pushy 😆. He seemed to know that on his birthday that was a special day for him as he sat with me quietly while I did my Bible study – which he never does as he’s usually too...
