Those Dehydrator Treats
September 30, 2015
A few weeks ago, I told you guys that Nala opened a bathroom door, carefully pulled a glass jar off of a counter, carried it to her bed, opened it, and licked out every. painstakingly. cut-up treat inside. Want the recipe? You’ll need: 1 lb Chicken hearts 1 tsp honey 1/2 cup water, warm a … More Those Dehydrator Treats
Side Effects May Include
September 28, 2015
You know what I really, really love? I love the side effect profile of using food to train your dog. I don’t feel like writing a post against the various upsurges of fear-mongering and misplaced antipathy toward training with food. There are lots of excellent articles by more qualified people than I that undo those … More Side Effects May Include

On worries, trust, and off leash aspirations
September 22, 2015
For once, this post isn’t about how Nala can be a worrywart. Instead, it’s about something that’s been worrying me lately. Namely, what if my insufferable paranoia is all that has been keeping Nala from enjoying the pleasures of off leash walking? After all, I can think of a host of reasons, some of them … More On worries, trust, and off leash aspirations

Squeakers are King
September 15, 2015
I’m beginning to run a series of experiments.* First: a pile of beloved furry tug toys. The winner had already been selected from the pile: How is this toy different? Novelty! This fox was a Gotcha Day present last month, and Nala has only gotten to play with it a few times. (Actually, I let her … More Squeakers are King
What We Learned on our First Road Trip: Positive Pet Training Blog Hop
September 11, 2015
This past weekend for Labor Day, the pup, the partner, and I took advantage of some extended time off to take our first ever short road trip together. It was…revealing. Mentally, I tried to prepare myself for the worst. I knew there was a possibility that Nala would be too overstimulated by being in a new place … More What We Learned on our First Road Trip: Positive Pet Training Blog Hop
Fit Dog Update!
September 4, 2015
This past weekend on our way to one of our favorite local greenbelts for a hike, Nala and I stopped in at the vet’s office to pick up our six month supplies of heartworm, flea, and tick preventive. Since we were there anyway, I decided it would be a great time for her to hop … More Fit Dog Update!
Nala Reviews: The Honest Kitchen’s Minimalist Marvel
September 4, 2015
So far, I haven’t talked a lot about food here. After all, this blog is about Nala’s world–about her behavior, her interests, what we do together that she finds fun, how we enrich our lives together. However, I have been informed by a certain shepherd that food is very enriching. And she’s completely correct, right? In … More Nala Reviews: The Honest Kitchen’s Minimalist Marvel
