Year Round Tips For Pets! – NEW FEATURE
- NEVER leave your pet in a parked car, even with the windows open. An animal’s body temperature can rise in just seconds, causing heat-related problems or even death. Normal body temperature for dogs and cats is between 101 and 103 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Walk your pet on cooler surfaces to protect his feet from burning. If the pavement is too hot for you to hold your hand on for more then a few seconds, it’s much too hot for your pet’s paws.
- Keep walks to a minimum. Your pet is much closer to the hot pavement and its body can heat up very quickly.
Customer Testimonial from Dan in Gilbert, Arizona
We met Rob at the farmer’s market in Gilbert. He took the time to answer all of our questions and it was obvious that he knew what he was talking about. We set up a consultation and I was sold. Rob has a unique approach to dog training that our 3 dogs immediately responded to. There’s no scolding or punishment – just replacing bad habits with what you want them to do. We are now halfway through our sessions and it’s easy to see how passionate Rob is about helping people. He will work around your schedule and make sure you have what you need. I can’t recommend Lose the Leash enough.

Video: Training a Vizsla that’s Aggressive with Strangers at the Door
In this video you’ll see a LOSE THE LEASH Dog Training client training his Vizsla from start to finish. As you can see, we will work with you and your dog in YOUR home so that YOU learn how to manage your dog. The beginning of the video shows that this dog is not particularly friendly with strangers at the front door. The other clips show how quickly and effectively that our training has empowered the owner to get his dog composed and under control.
We understand that not all dogs behave perfectly, that’s what we fix! We are comfortable working with aggressive dogs, shy dogs, dominant dogs, toy crazy dogs, overly social dogs, puppies and older dogs too. In order to demonstrate how safe, effective and fun our training methods are, we come you your home for a FREE In-Home dog training demo with YOUR DOG.
