It's December: Ready or Not
HERE Comes Santa Paws
Dear Friends.
It's holiday time and we at kona's touch are so excited. We love the holidays. This season can bring up many different feelings for each of us. We're busy, we're trying to catch up with friends and holiday preparations keep us preoccupied.
As a holistic training center, we offer you today to: slow down, take a step back, and a deep breath. In our haste to make the holiday a success, we sometimes overlook what's right in front of us. Our human family and canine best friends bring more love and joy then we can imagine. Take the time to be with and enjoy those you love
We want to thank each of you for your friendship support, and dedication to positive training.
kona's touch, inc wishes you and your families a safe, healthy and Happy New Year.
Enjoy,
Be gentle, after all isn't that what you would want for your best friend,
Laura Dorfman, CPDT-KA

| Loose Leash Talkin | Is Your Dog Trying To Dominate You
Well Most Likely "Not So Much"
I recently put a post on Facebook about my Beagle who crawls up on me to say good morning. I could have several "old fashioned" dog trainers staring aghast at what they would consider an inevitable war pitting dog against man (or woman as this case goes). The first two responses from my Facebook friends, learned dog trainers and colleagues of mine, were "oh my dog does that" and "it looks like true love to me". I am grateful to be involved in a profession that is changing the way humans treat pets. With many scientific findings and studies behind us, and many years of trainers being compassionate with their canines, the truth is coming out and we are changing. I know, it will always be hard for me to consider that my 16 pound Beagle, standing on my chest, is doing anything but jumping up to say "Good Morning, It's a new day, BTW when's breakfast?"
