Why easy walk harnesses and gentle leaders?

What is your walking equipment doing for you? Most equipment only tethers your dog to you during your walk. Some equipment even makes it easier and more natural for your dog to pull on the leash. The equipment we recommend here at Terric Canines are tools that go against the function of pulling. The function of pulling is to get

We were fortunate to get to participate at the association of professional dog trainers conference (APDT). The previous year had been online due to the pandemic.

Feb 4th 2022 Rena crossed over the rainbow bridge. The hardest part of having a pet is losing them. The joy they bring us while they are here makes the pain of losing them worth it. Her paw prints will forever be on our hearts.

Einstein enjoys his Crate

This week has been filled with fun!!! Einstein received his first bath from mom and dad! He didn’t know what to think at first and drank some of the bath water.

Einstein the Canine

Einstein is all settled in! He is self-coping (a skill he has learned by crate training) and is gaining confidence! We are well on our way to avoid any separation anxiety issues that could occur down the road. He’s had his nail dremeled last week and will continue to get them done weekly to help him get accustomed to it.
