Looking for an effective and humane way to train your furry friend? Positive reinforcement might just be the answer! This popular dog training method focuses on rewarding good behavior instead of punishing bad behavior. Not only does it help to strengthen the bond between you and your pup, but it can also increase their confidence and make them more receptive to learning new behaviors. By consistently rewarding good behavior, you can even reduce negative behaviors in your dog. Plus, using positive reinforcement creates a positive environment for your pup, helping them feel safe, secure, and happy. So why not give it a try and watch your dog flourish?
We all know that a healthy dog starts with a healthy gut. It’s important to know what ingredients we’re putting in our dog’s dishes because after all, dogs aren’t conscious of what’s in their food and we, as owners, are their best advocates.

In my quest to find a dog treat company that integrates flavor without compromising the quality of ingredients, I came upon an Edmonton treat maker, MYLZ Treats. When speaking with Yvonne, the co-owner of MYLZ Treats, she radiated with passion. It’s not hard to see that Yvonne takes animal health seriously.

The hefty price tag is in part due to their rarity and also due to the media hype surrounding this breed. Boy oh boy! Aren’t they expensive?
