We are so proud of Laurie's accomplishment at recent Westminster dog show 2021. She sent us this from New York: "Wicked (Teller's mom) and I did this today! Pretty cool!"Laurie handled Wicked, a Belgian Laekenoi, to best of breed & got to play with the big names & faces in the herding group. Well done, breeders/handlers/owners of all the great dogs at one of America's oldest animal sporting events.Laurie Wright, Best Paw Forward Inc. instructor, at Westminster

Ready for a quick doggie attitude boost?
If your dog is annoying you in many ways:
For one week or more prior to your first class, or if you find his good behavior slipping for any reason (busy schedule, sabotage from indulgent friends or family, stressful time) it is helpful to hand feed your dog for doing simple obedience tricks or new fun skills like fetch or roll over.
Dole out a few pieces at a time of high-quality dry or specialty dog food for paying attention to you in a polite way, or for learning or practicing his tricks, throughout the day & evening.
Give him his full ration of food without using the dog food bowl.
If you are limited in time at home due to your work hours or other responsibilities, do this just for the evening meal or whenever works for you.
This also helps a new dog bond to you faster. Dole it out a piece at a time or a handful at a time for doing useful tricks and demonstrating better manners.
