It is August and the weather has already started to get cooler. Soon, the kids will be back at school and household routines will be changing. Please remember that changes in schedules and activities can also affect our pets.
This month, we share some interesting insights that Marilyn learned during a day-long seminar with Dr. Ian Dunbar, world-renowned canine training and behavioral specialist. Trish shares her home-made alternative to store-bought pill pockets. And, you just might think differently the next time you see a creepy crawly spider or its web.
It's going to be a great fall!
Back to School Isn't just for the Kids!

Private Dog Training a Great Option for Busy Families
Did you know many of our clients are private training clients? Pure Spirit brings the training to you and your canine companion in two ways. First, we come to your home and work with you and your family. We strive to help you understand each other better and encourage the behaviors you want while eliminating the unwanted and inappropriate doggie habits. Secondly, we bring the training to the dog. With over 20 years of experience, we can quickly assess what works and what doesn’t. We are not tied to a particular technique, training modality or piece of equipment. It’s all about working with the individual animal and their caring human companion. We care about your success! Both human and dog need to feel comfortable with the training. We endeavor to bring harmony to your relationship. Please call 952-226-2660 to schedule an appointment today.
Learning to Manage Aggression
Pure Spirit believes learning is a never-ending process. Training our animals so that they can be the awesome pets and family members they were meant to be is not an option; it is an obligation. Similarly, we must constantly strive to hone our skills and be the best human companions for our pets.
Marilyn Tokach attended a full day seminar about dog-dog aggression. The seminar was led by Dr. Ian Dunbar, world-renowned expert in canine behavior. Read more to discover what she learned.

Easier Way to Pill Your Pets
Recipe by Trish Phillips
Do you struggle with pushing pills down your pet's throat... or hiding them in cheese and hot dogs? When I found I had to give four large capsules per day to my dog, Opie, and one to my cat, Floyd, I discovered Greenies brand Pill Pockets. That became very expensive quite fast, so I created another option. Click here for the recipe...
Does Your Pet Have Something To Say?
Ask them through animal communication. Animal communication is mind-to-mind communication with animals. It's not mind reading; it's two-way participative communication between two sentient beings. Most of my animal communication consults are by phone. Find out more. Call to schedule your chat - 952-226-2660.
Weave a Web of Creativity!
Spiders are timid, delicate, agile and much of their creative energy is expended in the dark. But when the sun hits the fruits of spider labor, they glisten with intricate beauty. The lesson of the spider is maintaining balance; she teaches you that everything you do and experience now is weaving what you will encounter in the future. Spider is associated with words and communication and bestows the power to work magic over people and things. What other secrets does spider weave into her web? Read more...
