Zen Dog or Go Play for training. In regards to training- it is ALL about positive reinforcement, no punishment. Strut N Pup- Daria Pannesi for walking.
Janice Z. replied:
We took our fearful rescue dog to The Pet Republic in North Cambridge. Small classes (3-6 dogs) and wonderful instructors. We did Basic Manners, Advanced Manners, and Agility Training. The training is clicker-based/positive reinforcement. What also saved our sanity is a book by animal behaviorist/veterinarian, the late Dr. Sophia Yin: "Perfect Puppy in 7 Days." The method works with dogs of any age and you can start on day 1 when your dog comes home. And you can purchase it instantly online as an e-book. Dr Yin's other book, "How to Behave So Your Dog Behaves," is an excellent and simple introduction to how dogs learn, what motivates them, etc. As for walkers, I've used Cambridge Critter Sitter for many, many years and love them.

I highly, highly, highly recommend Heather Locke of Pet-Purrfection. Her home base is right here in Fairlington. She does have a vet tech background. She's very strong and athletic, compassionate gentle, and will give Morty very good attention and care. All you would want! Here's a link: http://petpurrfection.net/

Any recommendations for an affordable and dependable dog walker or daycare in the area?
Alexis P. replied:
We use Fur-Get Me Not in Shirlington for Daycare and I know they do walks too! (http://furgetmenot.com/) It's pricey but we did some research before we selected one (there are 3 or 4 right in Shirlington) and all of the prices were pretty comparable. On the days she's not in daycare we use Tails of the City (http://www.tailsofthecitypetcare.com/) for walks. They sometimes take her to the dog park and they are really reliable and super nice. I highly recommend both services!

I use Ben's Barking Lot - Ben does midday daytime walks and I think sometimes takes dogs for overnights. I love Strut N Pup too. Daria Pannesi. They do midday walks and pet sitting in your home (multiple daily visit). Both are great. My dog does not enjoy day care. But facilities in town I've toured include: Go Play and Pawtopia. I also looked at Crate Escape. They all seemed fine but my girl likes her space and only wants to play in grass, outside.

If you can train your dog to go off leash I highly recommend https://www.facebook.com/148390011877729Deluxe Pet Care for off leash adventures. My dog has his little pack and they run around like crazy and then he sleeps the rest of the day with a smile. They do pickup and drop off for the walks too.
