After a rough few months, the Dog Trainer is back!

Dog Trainer just before back surgery

The Lovely and Awesome Shane

As many of you know, I have not been working much the last several months. I have had some pretty severe problems with nerve pain in my right leg. It turns out that the problem seems to have been a pinched nerve in my lower back. The nerve was being pinched by a ruptured disc.

After trying physical therapy and three rounds of very uncomfortable steroidal injection in the lower back, I had surgery to remove the offending disc material. The surgery was done two months ago.

I am still having some pain but it is getting better every day. I am not yet back to doing all the handyman work that I usually provide but, I am back to dog training!

The lovely and awesome Shane has been, and continues to be a big help to me!

Copper is ready for work!

Copper, my demo beagle,  is also looking forward to getting back to work! We are both ready to help you with any training issues that you may have!

If you would like Copper and I to help you train your dogs to be polite little guys and girls, please contact us!

I always say, " Polite Dogs = Happy People". Let us help you to become happy today!

New Website

As most of my readers know, I also operate a lawn maintenance and handyman business. I have also offered commercial custodial services for many years as part of the handyman business.

Since we were married, the lovely, beautiful, and talented Shane has been a great help to me in these business endeavors. Shane has recently joined me as a full time partner (co-owner) in these business efforts.

Shane has recently begun building a residential cleaning offering.

I have wanted to get an Internet Domain Name for many years. We have finally done that and built a web site.

The new web site is: www.mooresvs.com . This web site will provide information on all of out service offerings including Dog Training. This blog will continue operating to provide dog training information, advice, and some of my commentary to our customers and the general public. I intend to update it more often in the future.  Recent health issues have prevented me from updating the blog as often as I should. I am recovering nicely now!

We will continue to offer the Dog Training services that we have always provided. The new website and new holding company name "Moore Services for your Money" is simply intended to provide our customers with a more convenient  way to access and learn about the services that we offer.

Thank you for your continued support!

Copper, the lovely Shane and I look forward to working with you in the future.

Welcome to the pack, Doyle the Doxle, Also, what I have been up to lately.

Welcome Doyle!

The Lovely Shane, Doyle and Butters spend quality time
at the Dog Training Shack

The Lovely Shane and I would like to welcome Doyle the Doxle to the pack at the Dog Training Shack!

We adopted Doyle shortly before Christmas from his former foster family at Angels Among Us dog rescue. The Lovely Shane saw Doyle on an Internet advertisement and fell in love with the little guy,

Doyle is a young adult and is very mild mannered. He loves nothing more than snuggling on the couch with his new Mommy. He is a young adult.

Doyle gives Daddy a kiss.

For those of you not familiar with the term "Doxle", Doyle is a mix of Dachshund and Beagle. He has a long body with short legs similar to his pack mate and new buddy Trigger the Dachshund. His face more closely resembles that of a Beagle.

Doyle is very food motivated, like a true Beagle. He also has many of the personality traits that one associates with the Dachshund. His bark sounds more like the Dachshund than the Beagle.

Now that Doyle is beginning to settle in to life with our pack, we are beginning to teach him basic commands (He knew a few already when we got him). It appears that he has never been taught to walk properly on a leash. We will begin that training soon.

Where has the Dog Trainer been hiding lately?

I apologize that it has been so long since you have heard much from me. I have had a few health problems lately. Most recently I had a very painful time with kidney stones. Before that, I had terrible migraine headaches that occurred every day. The doctors never really determined the cause of the headaches although they seem to have stopped now.

So, I am back in action now!

Copper and I have been doing dog training sessions. I have also started doing Handyman work again.

So, if you have a dog that is having trouble being a polite and well behaved little guy or girl, please contact me, Copper and I will be happy to help you!

By the way, Copper has now been my demo dog for two years! We are happy to celebrate that anniversary with Copper!

I am sure that I will put up a blog post soon to commemorate Copper's Anniversary.

Till Next Time-

Do you recognize this dog?

The Awesome and Lovely Shane found this little guy on our front porch.

Before I begin writing about the little guy in the photo above, I am very happy to announce that the Awesome and Lovely Shane has completed her Master degree program!!!

I was working on sanding the floor in the living room today when the Lovely Shane arrived home from a long day at the office. Accompanying here was the cute little guy that you see in the picture. He was patiently waiting for her on our front porch. We have never seen this guy before today. We checked with the neighbors and he does not belong to any of them.

We took this new arrival that we are calling Leopold  Butters Stotch or just Butters, (yes, we enjoy South Park) to visit our friends at Flat Creek Animal Hospital. They scanned him for a microchip. It turns out he is not microchipped. He was not wearing a collar. He seems to have been cared for well by someone. He is relatively clean and his coat is soft.

The veterinarian estimates his age at about five years. He is a cute little chihuahua mix (or at least that is our best guess). He seems to be quite friendly.

We are keeping him separated from the rest of the pack because we are not sure if he has any shots.

If you recognize this little guy, please contact me! My contact information is at the bottom of this post.

If you abandoned him here, also please contact me. I will not judge you and I am not mad at you. I would just like to get his medical history and perhaps a signed surrender form.

If you are attempting to find a new home for your dog, please, please, please do not drop your dog at our house! We live on a busy highway and it is very dangerous. Also we are not equipped to handle surrendered or abandoned dogs here at home. If you need to find a new home for your dog please contact me and I will help you to find an appropriate rescue group.

Till next time
