There is one online training that we favor above the others that are available. It's the training given by Dove Cresswell. Dove is a professional dog trainer in Hollywood. She has trained dogs for a lot of feature films and commercials. The reason we like here way of training is because she shows not only how to train your dog but also let's you hear how you should address your dog in such a way that the dog is always having fun. Training should always be a positive experience for your dog and that's the way Dove teaches you to do it.
She believes in the reward system to train dogs to show a certain behavior. The training Dove teaches is not only for puppies but also for older dogs so you don't throw your money away.

Not possible, right? Well actually it is possible, we found this amazing new product to bathe your dog called RapidBath.
Our Labradors are wonderful swimmers, the problem is that they will jump into anything, mud-pools, really awe-full smelling ponds and when you have a white one you know what he/she will look like when the dog decides to come out finally.
The only option is bathing with the outdoor hose and then comes the next problem because: Yes Labradors like swimming but taking a bath with the hose is a hole different ballgame and most of the swimmers don't like to take a bath at all. They struggle, try to get away and then you still need to shampoo the dog and rinse it out. By the time your dog is finished bathing and is clean, your exhausted and probably wetter than your dog.
Do you recognize this?

Dogs shed their winter coats in the spring that is replaced with a lighter coat to keep them cool in the summer. And they also shed their summer coats in autumn to make way for their heavy thicker coat to keep them warm for the winter.
