There are three designs: Clover (pictured), Grass and Rock. Clover and Grass are perfect for kibble or treats. Rock can also be used for more liquid treats, like yoghurt, thinned pumpkin puree or applesauce. Pros: great for dogs that like to use their noses soft, smooth silicon easy clean really strong suction cups on the bottom Cons: a single mat is a bit small those thin leaves could be tempting for dogs that love to chew on stuff - always watch your dog when you offer them a food puzzle and remove it as soon as they’re done with it FTTF (Fuji Time To Finish): 12m 15s https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/seiecdk9tfqurx0kgv2v86u403frag-a4pgy-ezlrd monthly 0.5 2024-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/54e806f6-a866-4381-9fcc-11a907254c16/tempImageSpmpgO.jpg Pet Behavior Blog - Book review - It’s Never Enough by Dr. Mary Gardner An ultimate guide for aging dog parents by Dr. Mary Gardner, veterinarian and founder of The Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice. If you go to a bookstore, or browse Amazon book section, you will find thousands of books dedicated to puppies, but senior dogs rarely get attention, just like in real life. And yet, when I go to my clients’ houses to help them with their exuberant puppy or ‘crazy’ adolescent, I always fall in love with the senior dogs. And nothing makes me happier when my pet parents follow my advice and add the same enrichment and training I recommended for their younger pups, and then report to me that their blind, 16-year-old toothless yorkie absolutely loved the snuffle mat or a training session. Or that they talked to their veterinarian about pain management and their previously lethargic old boy is once again wagging his tail and running around with bouncy ears. This is the book for them. There is so much great information in this book - how aging affects different senses, how to help your dog enjoy their life as they age, what to watch for, what to ask your veterinarian, how to decide when it’s time to say goodbye and how to deal with the loss. There are QR codes to access additional resources (what a cool way to link to online stuff in printed material), fillable charts and checklists, product recommendations and tons of practical tips. The Journal is beautifully printed, and you can fill the information in there and keep it later as a keepsake, or follow the QR codes and download PDF documents. If you have children, you can also get an activity book for kids, to help them say goodbye to their canine friend. https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/seiecdk9tfqurx0kgv2v86u403frag-a4pgy monthly 0.5 2024-08-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/e742bf80-0877-4130-ac25-fdcab4cf6c83/tempImagef3gYgs.jpg Pet Behavior Blog - Book review - Nine Lives Are Not Enough by Dr. Mary Gardner An ultimate guide for aging cat parents by Dr. Mary Gardner, veterinarian and founder of The Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice. I love kittens and puppies, I do. But senior pets have my heart. My kitties, Hobbes (17) and Kicia (18) crossed the rainbow bridge a couple of years ago and I wish I had Dr. Gardner’s book and Journal to help me through their aging process, illness and the difficult decision to let them go.

I haven’t, but after reading this book, I definitely will. Through the life of Louis Wain, Kathryn Hughes tells a complex story of Victorian times, and our changing attitudes to cats and animals in general, and our view of their place in the world. All in the context of the rapidly changing world of women’s suffrage, industrial revolution and The Great War. Expect stories that are weird and delightful but also often show human cruelty - to both non-human and human animals. Hughes writing is clear and engaging and the book is full of archival images. I highly recommend getting a physical copy, so you can fully appreciate colorful reproductions of Louis Wain’s works. https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/chat-amp-chuckle-with-laura-monaco-torelli-about-cooperative-care-with-cats-podcast monthly 0.5 2024-09-16 https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/nted80v99dq2nxxhmt95h3dibs78ts monthly 0.5 2024-08-16 https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/summer-pet-safety-tips monthly 0.5 2024-07-15 https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/surviving-the-storm-tips-to-easing-your-pets-anxiety-in-bad-weather monthly 0.5 2024-07-17 https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/ask-the-trainer-how-to-make-your-dogs-bathtime-enjoyable monthly 0.5 2024-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/61ce309c-18dd-42b4-9ba8-c3965277f29a/image-asset.jpg Pet Behavior Blog - Ask The Trainer! - How To Make Your Dog’s Bathtime Enjoyable - „My last dog loved water but as soon as it was time for a bath, we’d have to drag him into the bathroom, and he stood there shaking the whole time. We just got a puppy and are worried bath time is going to be a nightmare again. He’s white and loves rolling in the mud! Bathtime Blues” Ah, the familiar saga of wrestling with a reluctant canine in anticipation of bath time—a timeless tale for many pet owners. The struggle is real, folks! Bath time can be such an overwhelming sensory experience for dogs! Water! Human hands all over their bodies! Weird smelling stuff rubbed on! And they don’t even get to play but have to stand still and endure the ordeal. It's no wonder they're not exactly lining up for the spa treatment! But fear not, for there are strategies to turn this soggy ordeal into a smoother affair. Here are some pro tips to transform your pup's bath time blues into a more tolerable experience—for all involved: · Familiar space: Introduce your pup to the bathing area beforehand. Encourage exploration with treats, making it a happy space. · Non-slip surface: Shower tiles and bathtubs can be slippery (especially if you add soap), and make your dog feel insecure and uncomfortable. Placing a towel or a rubber mat on the bottom surface will provide traction and stability, alleviating their discomfort. · Distraction Techniques: Invest in a licking mat that sticks to the side of the tiles or tub’s side. Spread something sticky and yummy – peanut butter, cream cheese or that horrible squeezing cheese all work great. Your dog will get a good association with the special treat, and it will keep them calm and still. · Start Slow: Begin with short sessions, gradually increasing the exposure to water. Maybe just run the water near them at first of wet one part of the body. Avoid overdoing it and poisoning the experience. Slower is faster! · Temperature Check: Ensure the water temperature is just right – cold water is not pleasant and hot water can scald your dog. · Be Mindful of Sensitive Areas: Keep the running water away from your pup’s eyes and ears. Water in ears may result in ear infections, especially in dogs with long, floppy ears. Use a wet towel to gently wipe their face and head. · “Emergency” Bath Protocol: Sometimes, despite all efforts, a rogue mud puddle demands immediate action. In such cases, opt for an alternate bathing spot and reward generously. · Time To Get Dry(er): Remember to reward for toweling off! · Super-Secret Tip: Once you’re done with the spa time, give your dog a chewing stick or a filled Kong toy. This can be their big reward for enduring the ordeal and, more importantly, it will keep your wet, overexcited dog from doing zoomies all over your house! With these tactics in your arsenal, you'll soon find bath time becoming less of a battleground and more of a bonding opportunity with your four-legged companion. After all, every dog deserves to feel pampered—even if they're not convinced at first splash!Make it stand out Ahhh… https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/wobble-bowl-review monthly 0.5 2024-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1def75ac-bf44-4d59-a4bd-a78a76bf2426/Wobble+Bowl.png Pet Behavior Blog - Ditch The Bowl - Wobble Bowl Review - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/crate-trainingyourcat monthly 0.5 2024-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1708734837250-5725IESKYP9JDNT8F8PW/GettyImages-1158619848.jpg Pet Behavior Blog - Ask The Trainer - How To Crate Train A Cat - Comfy and safe Comfy and safe https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/stop-your-dog-from-jumping monthly 0.5 2024-01-23 https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/why-i-dont-recommend-head-halters-for-dogs monthly 0.5 2023-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/f38dfd30-dcff-488e-9583-83759ab008ab/BHB_06_1800x1800.jpeg Pet Behavior Blog - Why I Don't Recommend Head Halters for Dogs - Blue9 Balance Harness Has six points of adjustment for perfect fit on any type of dog and allows for a full range of motion https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/2d14038a-83d9-414b-8fe0-6c208f3cc18e/30502-Front-Range-Harness-Blue-Moon-Right-SMALL.jpeg Pet Behavior Blog - Why I Don't Recommend Head Halters for Dogs - Ruffwear Front Range Y-shape harness that fits dogs more snugly, giving the handler a bit more control without impacting dog’s natural gait https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/feline-enrichment-webinar monthly 0.5 2023-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1684268024982-G5SQN9BBNHFIQ7V3G88C/image-asset.jpeg Pet Behavior Blog - Feline Enrichment Webinar - Make it stand out That’s not the kind of puzzle your cat wants. https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/alpha-dog-the-myth-that-wont-go-away monthly 0.5 2023-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1684263079711-1ZPIMD47P4EZED54C7D2/image-asset.jpeg Pet Behavior Blog - “Alpha” dog - the myth that won’t go away - Make it stand out No alphas here. https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/ditch-the-bowl-west-paw-toppl monthly 0.5 2023-09-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/9cb33eeb-e072-48bc-afdd-07941bf45f63/Toppl.png Pet Behavior Blog - Ditch the Bowl - West Paw Toppl - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/book-review-the-cat-personality-test-by-dr-lauren-finka monthly 0.5 2023-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/4c7a2aa9-6c91-44ab-8675-9d03f5e2864e/The+Cat+Personality+Test+book.jpg Pet Behavior Blog - Book review - The Cat Personality Test by Dr Lauren Finka - The Cat Personality Test; Dr Lauren Finka; Ebury Press 2019 Do you remember filling out the “personality” quizzes in Cosmopolitan when you were growing up (‘What Your Favorite Candy Says About Your Love Life?’)? Well, at first glance, this book can resemble a cat version of those! When you look closer though, you will find that the tests are designed to help you observe your cat and their behavior. You then get a lot of practical tips how to improve your relationship and life together. Content index could be a bit more detailed as it can be hard to find exactly the information you’re looking for (there is also no list of references or alphabetical index). I’m also not a big fan of the illustrations (petty, I know, but I like my cute cat books cute). One thing to note is that the author is UK-based and the attitude to allowing cats outdoors there is different than in the US. https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/book-review-indoor-cat-by-laura-j-moss monthly 0.5 2023-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/c5999cb7-4d92-4f50-a0ed-7364d6bae858/Indoor+Cat+book.jpg Pet Behavior Blog - Book review - Indoor Cat by Laura J. Moss - Indoor Cat; Laura J. Moss, Lynn Bahr; Running Press 2022 One of my very favorite books on cat enrichment is Playtime for Cats by Helena Dbaly. Unfortunately, it’s been out of print for some time and is nearly impossible to buy. I’ve long been hoping for another book I could recommend to my cat clients. And here it is! Indoor Cat actually covers more topics than just play and enrichment. I really like that each chapter starts with a kitty point of view on what we, humans, often perceive as a problem behavior. This book is loaded with practical solutions, tips and ideas and I love all the color photos. A must read for parents of all cats but especially the busy, curious shittens with a lot of energy! https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/book-review-purr-by-zazie-todd monthly 0.5 2023-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/82ade218-38a7-4418-877d-9019c003fa0f/Purr+book.jpg Pet Behavior Blog - Book review - Purr by Zazie Todd - Purr; Zazie Todd; Greystone Books 2022 If I could recommend only one book about cats, this would be it. It presents all the science-based information in a clear, accessible way, but you also get references and sources. So if you’re particularly interested in a topic, you can check out other authors and studies. I particularly appreciate the inclusion of a couple of overlooked and difficult topics - senior cats and end of life decisions. Fill out the Checklist For a Happy Cat and follow training plans included in the last chapter - I love that it includes one ‘fun’ behavior (sit pretty) and one ‘fundamental’ behavior (teaching cat to like their carrier). https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/new-pack-members-only-page monthly 0.5 2022-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1ce4796a-43c7-4eff-8fd0-0c22cc637897/Scheduling+page+for+a+dog+trainer.png Pet Behavior Blog - New ‘Pack Members Only’ Page - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/d1f7ef30-b29f-4a08-b470-f2763eb23355/Dog+training+client+account.png Pet Behavior Blog - New ‘Pack Members Only’ Page - Make it stand out This is what your account page would look like https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/office-hours monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/blog/animal-trainer-on-vacation monthly 0.5 2022-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1656448722833-0KOB0XXIQUW4XWNM0HAG/Alpacas.jpg Pet Behavior Blog - Animal trainer on vacation :) - The alpacas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1656448718967-1NV6J49DUAECV40DZPWV/Scotty+targeting.jpg Pet Behavior Blog - Animal trainer on vacation :) - Scotty the goat targeting my hand https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1656448726573-38MER5OXD81V6PVHWNCI/Scotty+the+goat.jpg Pet Behavior Blog - Animal trainer on vacation :) - Scotty being handsome on his platform https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1656448732696-Y4W3Q9DOY6MTP93Q8C71/IMG_7749.JPG Pet Behavior Blog - Animal trainer on vacation :) - Preparing enrichment for the goats https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1656448774365-UWAS8TVA4S6QDSWGVNHC/IMG_7764.jpg Pet Behavior Blog - Animal trainer on vacation :) - Beso, the llama, popping in for some knowlegde https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1656448774364-NL06VRFO27XI7TO0RQQ5/IMG_7775.jpg Pet Behavior Blog - Animal trainer on vacation :) - Roja the alpaca being cute and curious https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1656448795735-JJOBUV5ELR788GFJRX1S/Sparkle+in+the+trailer.jpg Pet Behavior Blog - Animal trainer on vacation :) - My bestest girl, Sparkle.

I’m Joanna, founder of High Five Animal Training, and I’m so happy you’re taking the first steps to address your pet’s behavior. As a certified dog trainer (CPDT-KA, Certified Control Unleashed Instructor, Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner, Fear Free Certified Professional), I know just how important it is to trust the professional you’re hiring, and I want you to feel at ease when it comes to solving your pet’s behavior issues. More than getting troubling behaviors to stop, I’ve made it my personal ambition to give pet owners the necessary knowledge to understand why troubling behaviors occur, so you can successfully restore your pet to their affectionate, happy selves, and solve these behavior challenges - for good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1614183460708-UH9V4G404OTQ8IRZ3SWB/D+360.jpg High Five Animal Training - Pet Training in Houston, TX Joanna walking shelter dogs from SPCA https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/schedule-a-call daily 0.75 2023-05-22 https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/dog-trainer-1 daily 0.75 2023-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1657051901979-TR2H4M7DBCKZFKLUHK63/Untitled%2Bdesign.jpg Day Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1657052216026-15Y5J2AQ08QBBL7MZGUU/Untitled%2Bdesign-2.jpg Day Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/2b81f789-b476-4601-a583-224486fd313d/unsplash-image-9Iod_2fmhu4.jpg Day Training - Houston puppy and dog training Behavior consultation packages with dog & owner in mind https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1615513599326-KKPKD6BND8QXNT3KQ8OT/husky+dog+on+a+swing.JPG Day Training https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1615254195252-DRMXY2C3YRGYTBILD2NP/R2l9q1DQ.jpeg Day Training - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/reviews daily 0.75 2024-07-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Reviews https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Reviews https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Reviews https://www.highfiveanimaltraining.com/dog-trainer-2 daily 0.75 2024-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/1657051901979-TR2H4M7DBCKZFKLUHK63/Untitled%2Bdesign.jpg Hello Puppy! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602d31d70a31b95b2426e5f4/2b81f789-b476-4601-a583-224486fd313d/unsplash-image-9Iod_2fmhu4.jpg Hello Puppy! - Houston puppy training Congratulations on adding a new member to your family!
