<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bark & Clark's first Pooch Parade of 2015, and my personal favorite! Please join us for the 5th annual <b>Love Your Dog Pooch Parade on February 24th @ 7:30pm</b>. It will be a night on the town with your dog as we take a love-filled, yet educational stroll through our the heart of the city. Then a decadent treat for your pooches from <i>Pussy & Pooch</i> and finally a chance to sit down and enjoy adult treats with wonderful conversation at the lovely and dog friendly patio of <i>Casey's Irish Pub</i>.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Besides the obvious fun you will have, this is a great chance to learn about how to handle your dog downtown and in general with other dogs and humans. This class focus </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">is on using basic obedience to help your dog focus on you - not all the distractions. We'll also focus on showing your dog how loved they are, how to be a great socialized companion in our busy city, leash control and polite interactions with other dogs and people. Last but certainly not least, we address the ongoing battle of teaching owners the proper places to potty their dog and how to get them to go there!</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We teach uptown manners for Downtown dogs! This class is so fun, it's more like an outing... So let's take a stroll through the city and focus on doggy's ability to deal with the public, the lively city and all the other pooches out and about.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am so excited about this Pooch Parade, I hope I will see you all there!

<br />
This is a 5 week class that will address all the basics to rearing your puppy. We teach sit, down, stay, leave it, recall (come when called), and walking on a leash.

But as they get bigger, if they are not well mannered or at least know a few basics, that cuteness wears off fast. So enjoy the puppy stage a little longer and get that pup to school!<br />

I was honored to win the 2014 Best Pet Trainer in DTLA by the DT News. I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all of my wonderful and loyal clients that voted. Without you my business does not exist. The past 5 years have been an experience of a lifetime and I am so proud of the company I have created and how many dogs I have helped.<br />
<br />
None of this would be possible if it weren't for the brilliant PR/Advertising/branding work of CJ Sandgren, the IT/Webmaster/photographer/all around helper contribution of Adam Josephson, and the back up and constant help of Jenn Tudor. These three people support my whole business. I also have to thank <b><u>all </u></b>of my friends and family that endless spread the word about my business and support everything I do.<br />
<br />
Thank you one last time to all of you that voted and made this possible.

We ARE! The days are hot so it makes the evening more enjoyable, it's the perfect setting for you and your dog to treat yourselves!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It brings me great pleasure to announce Bark & Clark's Summer Pooch Parade!</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Please join us for<b> </b>the<b> Stroll into Summer Pooch Parade on June 19th @ 7:30pm</b>.</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The evening will start with me, Certified Trainer, Tamara Clark, leading your pooches through the heart of DTLA, starting in the Historic Core and ending on the ever bustling 7th street. We will stop in at Pussy & Pooch for some Pawbar time for your dogs and then through the city we will go for our educational romp. As usual, the evening will conclude with a chance for the humans to sit down, unwind and enjoy wonderful conversation at the dog friendly, Coco Laurent. So fun! </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Besides the obvious fun you will have, this is a great chance to learn about how to handle your dog downtown and in general with other dogs and humans. The Stroll into Summer Pooch Parade workshop's focus </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">will be on you dogs socialization with congested city sidewalks (including dog on dog interactions), leash control, and focusing on you while dealing with distractions. As well, we will have our usual education on the approved potty places and how to get your dog to go there. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The benefit of working your dog in this environment is it helps reinforce their basic obedience and uses those skills to increase their focus on you - not all the distractions. We'll also work on manners specific to the city, such as sitting at all intersections before crossing; sitting for introductions and the proper way to greet other dogs. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We teach uptown manners for Downtown dogs! This class is so fun, it's more like an outing... So let's take a stroll through the city and focus on doggy's ability to deal with the public, the lively city and all the other pooches out and about.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am so excited about this Pooch Parade, I hope I will see you all there and if you can't be there, I hope you will help spread the word! </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Be sure to <b>RSVP by June 12th</b> because space is limited. The cost is <b>$50/dog.</b></span></div>

Zoe was not only the dog of one of my best human friends, she was my dog's best friend and holds such and amazingly special part of my heart. It doesn't seem possible that she is gone. It happened too fast and she was too young, we just didn't get to have her for enough time. Those are the feelings I am left with. But then another side comes to the surface and I realize that I got the opportunity to have her in my life for about 4 of her 8 years. In that time she gave me so much love, happiness, comfort, education and of course, friendship.<br />

One of my fondest memories of Zoe, is also my first memory of her, it is how we met. I had met her owner a little while before I met Zoe, she helped out with my training mentor. On this particular night, Zoe was going for her K-9 Good Citizenship, I was one of the "crowd". I also was helping with registration. So I came walking down a set of stairs to give her owner some forms to complete. Zoe and her owner were on a stage in a type of small amphitheater, outside the testing area. It was twilight, if not a little darker. So as I moved toward them, Zoe preceded to bark at me in a way that I thought I was going to loose my life. I still remember her owner yelling "STOP MOVING". So I did. Then we all calmed down and in the next few minutes she became the sweetest girl. From that moment on, we were friends.<br />

Over the years, she taught me about dogs, she taught me about aggression, she taught me how to take life a little less serious and she taught me about the relationship a dog and human can have. But she did more than just teach me, she taught my dog. When I got Neville, Zoe was there to teach him how to fetch or at least go after the ball and how to go into the water... both the ocean and a pool!<br />

Zoe and Neville have had so many adventures together, hiking, beaches, parks, and even snow. They had sleep overs and dates to all sorts of places. All the while, we humans got to just enjoy.<br />

Zoe was also an amazing friend to me. She listened to many of my woes and licked a few tears away. She endured my singing and even pretended to enjoy my "Zo-Zo-Zo" song. She would smile at my voice and say I love you with her eyes and her whole body would wag with her tail. Her greatest joy was her tennis ball and one of my greatest joys was throwing it for her just to watch her happiness.<br />

Today marks one week since she left this earth. The week leading up to her death was a difficult and tragic week, the cancer came in and took over very quickly. To think that just 2 weeks prior I was walking around her neighborhood with her and we had no idea she was sick. I was honored with the opportunity to be present for her passing. Though it was sad, I was happy I was there with her and especially her owner. I got to give her one last hug and one last kiss and sing my "Zo-Zo-Zo" song. Not having her here is so very sad, but I am so profoundly grateful that she was there at all.<br />

be a night on the town with your dog as we take a love-filled, yet educational stroll

Pussy & Pooch</i> and finally a chance to sit down and enjoy adult
treats with wonderful conversation at the lovely and dog friendly patio of <i>Artisan House</i>.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Besides
the obvious fun you will have, this is a great chance to learn about
how to handle your dog downtown and in general with other dogs and
humans. This class focus </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">is
on using basic obedience to help your dog focus on you - not all the
distractions. We'll also focus on showing your dog how loved they are, how to be a great socialized companion in our busy city, leash control and polite interactions with other dogs and people. Last but
certainly not least, we address the ongoing battle of teaching owners
the proper places to potty their dog and how to clean it up!</span><br />

<br />
In October I got the news that my dear friend Bailey had come to the end of his journey with his human companion. News I knew one day I would hear, but certainly not ready for. I have shed so many tears, both of joy and absolute sorrow. Bailey was one of a kind. But now that I have had a couple of months to process it, I wanted to pay tribute here to my amazing friend.<br />
<br />
When I first meant Bailey, I was walking dogs as a part of my business and his owner was looking for a twice a day walk for his Pit Mix. I had no idea what to expect when I first went to meet him. We had a good 45 minutes together as his owner secured his apartment, got keys, etc. Bailey and I walked the neighborhood and got to know each other. Within that 45 minutes I got to know a dog that was amazingly sweet, loving and had a personality that was unforgettable.<br />

Over the time I walked him, seeing him everyday twice a day, I got to know him quite well and he really got to know me. So much so that at a time I had some sorrowful things happening, Bailey would great me with a gentle lick to my face and would push his head to my chest for a hug. One of the many things that made him truly amazing.<br />
<br />
He was somewhat of a celebrity around our walking route, so many people knew Bailey and always had to say hello. I don't think there was a life he touched that didn't benefit from knowing him. Myself and my dog included. <br />
<br />
I knew Bailey before I got Neville. So when I was introducing Neville to Downtown, I often walked them together so Bailey could help Neville not be so scared. I titled Bailey as Neville's Grandpa because that is the relationship that developed. Bailey was the kind and wise old soul that showed Neville the way. A beautiful thing to watch.<br />

<br />
So I have tons of memories of Bailey. How easy he was to take care of while his owner was out of town, even taking a pill with no problems, long talks in the park when he couldn't walk that far, endless hugs, snuggles, kisses and licks, watching his butt waddle up and down the stairs and my all time favorite was his tail wag. Bailey could hear my voice, see me from a far or just smell me through the door and his tail would wag so hard his whole body would move.<br />
<br />
Bailey, my friend, I love you endlessly. You will be missed so much and your legend will continue to live on both in image on my website and in our memories for how amazing you were. You truly were one of a kind and certainly a dog, a friend and a companion that will be so very missed.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Please join us for<b> </b>the<b> Holiday Stroll Pooch Parade on December 16th @ 7:30pm</b>. </span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The
evening will start with me, Certified Trainer, Tamara Clark, hosting a
Holiday themed stroll through the streets of the Historical
Core. We will start our special evening with our pups by stopping in at
Pussy & Pooch's Pawbar for a festive bite to eat. Then the
fun and learning will begin as we make our way through the bustling
streets, spreading our holiday cheer. After the work is done and
the pups are tired, it is time to reward the humans with drinks and
bites to eat of our own on a dog-friendly patio of a local favorite eatery.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Besides
the obvious fun you will have, this is a great chance to learn
about how to handle your dog downtown and in general with other dogs
and humans. The Holiday Stroll Pooch Parade workshop's primary focus </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">will
be on celebrating the relationship between you and your dog. Secondary focus will be on the dogs socialization with congested city sidewalks (including dog on dog interactions), leash
control, and focusing on you while dealing with distractions. As well,
we will have our usual education on the approved potty places and how
to get your dog to go there. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The
benefit of working your dog in this environment is it helps reinforce
their basic obedience and uses those skills to increase their focus on
you - not all the distractions. We'll also work on manners specific
to the city, such as sitting at all intersections before crossing;
sitting for introductions and the proper way to greet other dogs. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We
teach uptown manners for Downtown dogs! This class is so fun, it's
more like an outing... So let's take a stroll through the city and
focus on doggy's ability to deal with the public, the lively city
and all the other pooches out and about.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am so looking forward to this Pooch Parade, I hope I will see you all
there and if you can't be there, I hope you will help spread the word! </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #4f265c; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Be sure to <b>RSVP by December 9th</b> because space is limited. The cost is <b>$40/dog.</b><br />

Let's not sugar coat this, an animal hoarder is an abuser. This is not about intention, this is about what consequences your actions are causing. Here is the story, let's see what consequences were involved for this individual that has been chronically hoarding and abusing dogs for 25 years:<br />

"I think it was just one lady that really wanted to save
them all," Tracey Ward, a county animal control official, told NBC News.
"When you don't spay and neuter, they're going to breed. It's not going
to be just one or two puppies ― it's going to be seven, nine, 12."</div>
Fifty may seem like a lot of dogs, but to Ritz, it was
nothing. She had a history of keeping far too many dogs to properly care
for, with a string of animal cruelty charges and convictions extending
back 25 years. </blockquote>

In 1986, she ran into trouble with at least 50 dogs, and

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Animal control is still recovering the dogs and getting
them the vet care they need. They're also looking for volunteers in the
hope of getting the dogs to an animal sanctuary, according to WFIE.</blockquote>
Death is nothing to celebrate, no matter how much we may disagree with the actions of the person. But I completely understand the comment above about being relieved at the news of this woman's death. <br />
<br />
This is a case that I find very interesting and I think we get to understand the mind of this type of abuser. Hoarders are unique abusers because they believe they are helping the animals. That they are providing some sort of care and correct environment that no one else can provide. Unfortunately for the animals, this is never the case. The person is mentally ill and has no understanding of the hole they have dug themselves into. Nor do they understand the poor condition of their animals.<br />
<br />
The most unfortunate part is that a majority of these animals cannot be rehabilitated for one reason or the other. Where at one time they had the chance for a new life, once in this hoarder environment for an extended amount of time, that chance is gone. There are animals that defy the odds and make it through and are wonderful. I have had the amazing experience to train some of these extraordinary dogs. But that is the point, they are extraordinary, not the norm.<br />
<br />
No matter the breed, all dogs, all animals deserve to have a second chance at life when the first one was ruined for them. The story above makes me so sad for all these dogs that this one woman destroyed. Now there are 50+ others whose fate is unknown, some of which are puppies.<br />
<br />
If you see abuse of any sort, hoarding, hitting, starving, mistreatment in any way, please report this. I don't care if this is family, friends, neighbors or a stranger on the street. Animals can't speak, it is our job as humans to be their voice.<br />

Bark & Clark has teamed up with the amazing <a href="http://dtlavets.com/" target="_blank">DTLA Vets</a> to bring you a 5 week session of Puppy Obedience Class! This has been the most requested class from my clients, but up until now, my choices of locations just never worked out. That has all changed.<br />
<br />
As of September 24th, Bark & Clark will be offering a 5 week session of Puppy Obedience Group Training at the DTLA Vets office (<i>333 S Spring St, L.A., CA 90013</i>)! You can't get more clean and safe than that!<br />
<br />
We will be meeting for 1 - 1.5 hours each Tuesday night @ 7:30pm for 5 weeks. During this time I will be instructing you and your pups on a variety of common puppy problems. For $150 per pup, this is what you will get:<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">This

</blockquote>
This class is a great way to start off your relationship with your dog. My training style is all about having control over your dog, but also having a dynamic relationship that will be based on love and mutual respect and the best way to get there is to start from day one.<br />

<br />
A week ago my day was off to a less than perfect start, bad traffic, lack of sleep, and generally not in a great mood. Before heading into an appointment, I stopped and checked my email. I am so glad I did. I found in my inbox an update on one of my favorite clients (both human and dog) that not only made my day, but my whole week (maybe longer, we will see). <br />
<br />
I have been working with these clients since the beginning of this year and considering the severity of the human and dog aggression this dog had, that isn't very long. But they were superstars and did what even I didn't think was possible. <br />
<br />
The dog, this beautiful black lab, had fear based aggression toward humans and dogs, as well, due to his fear he was pulling awfully and was not a pleasure to take new places. Additionally, due to his breed, everyone thought he would be friendly, which proved to be very trying for his owner.<br />
<br />
When we first started working together, my expectations were low. Especially since during the 2nd training he still was offering to bite me. But then something changed by the 3rd session. The training started to kick in and he let go. For his owner, she felt empowered.<br />
<br />
We continued to work week after week, seeing steady progress in our behavior modification. Then the dog came into a group class and did fantastic. Then came multiple Pooch Parades. Each time I saw him, the progress was astounding. <br />
<br />
I have not worked privately with the pair for months now. All communication is through email and phone or at my Pooch Parades. I had just seen them at my last Pooch Parade and the dog was amazing! Things I was certain he would react to he did not. I didn't think I could be more proud... I was wrong.<br />
<br />
A week ago this client wrote me an update email on her dog, the email's subject was Success! She explained that her sister and baby niece came to visit. She thought about putting her dog in boarding, but something told her to try. So she introduced her dog to her sister and niece. It took about an hour for him to calm down and accept her sister, but he loved her niece from the moment they meant! She also explained that they took him everywhere and he was a perfect gentlemen. She included pictures of her amazing dog and niece, side by side. This all brought tears to my eyes!<br />
<br />
To think that a dog that couldn't accept a strangers touch or accept a stranger in his home was able after just an hour to be responsive and calm. A dog that was frightened of children and new areas, now able to play and enjoy a baby and go all over L.A. site seeing! To say I am proud does not do it justice. I am so happy for these two because they worked so hard. Not just the human, not just the dog... together they worked as a team.<br />
<br />
I said at the beginning of my blog that they were two of my favorite clients and they are, but what makes them two of my favorites is their dedication to this process and the phenomenal relationship they have.<br />
<br />
I didn't use names or pictures in this blog, but you know who you are!

But in Highland Park this past week, that was where the crime was committed. I am sure the thieves were counting on the fact that people are more relaxed at the vets office and do things like put their pups in the car then return to the office to pay. Especially when there are 6 rambunctious puppies! Though this story has a somewhat happy ending, I hope it makes us all a little more vigilant and cautious, no where is safe, especially from puppy thieves! The full story from Dogster is below as well as how you can help find the last two puppies.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Last week, a hearing-impaired woman breeding service dogs
for the disabled was in the parking lot Highland Park animal hospital.
She had just put her six American Bulldog
puppies in the car -- the offspring of her own service dog Kyliee --
and she ran back in to pay her bill. That's when two men snuck up to the
car and made off with the dogs. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"All kinds of horrible thoughts kept coming to my mind," Ryan Fingerle told <a href="http://gma.yahoo.com/four-american-bulldog-puppies-home-kidnapping-234629959--abc-news-pets.html" target="_blank">ABCNews.com</a>.
"They are innocent and helpless little beings." A security cam caught
the men stealing the dogs in the parking lot, but they are still at
large. </blockquote>

Fingerle contacted the authorities and tried to comfort
her service dog Kyliee, who "moped" around the house looking for her
pups. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Of course, grief was the first thing I felt, overwhelming
grief," Fingerle said. "Without their mother's milk, they have very
little immunity and cannot fight off any illness or injuries." </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Fortunately, Kyliee was back on mothering duty soon
enough. On Aug. 10, Fingerle got a call that three of the six pups had
been found -- someone had seen an unidentified person throwing them over
a fence. They turned out to be Zorro, Xena, and Red Shadow. </blockquote>

Now, many airports have pet relief areas, but so far they are outside and most require you to go back through security. San Diego has come up with a solution for that, they now have a doggie potty indoors with the Men, Women and Family bathrooms. The full story from Dogster is below.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
San Diego might have trouble electing an appropriate
person to be mayor, but the city scores high marks in giving traveling
dogs a nice place to conduct business. San Diego airport has the
nation's first fully enclosed indoor dog bathroom, according to <a href="http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/aug/04/lindbergh-terminal-pet-relief-stop/" target="_blank">U-T San Diego</a> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Located in Terminal 2 West between Gates 46 and 47, the
75-square-foot "Pet Relief" airport comfort station is a wonder. It
includes fake grass, two deodorizers, a hand-washing station, and
complimentary baggies. It also has a fire hydrant, giving dogs a place
to aim. Just as important: Maintenance workers clean it twice a day. </blockquote>

"It's with our other restrooms, men's, women's, family, and animals," airport spokeswoman Katie Jones told the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/travel/deals/la-trb-san-diego-airport-pet-potty-20130805,0,3740270.story" target="_blank">Los Angeles Times</a>. </blockquote>

The facility opened in April as part of the of the
airport's $1 billion expansion of Terminal 2 and has flown under the
radar until the story took hold last week. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"I've received calls from NPR, Reddit, Huffington Post,"
said Jones. "A national game show made it a question. We've really
gotten a lot of attention, and it's been very positive." </blockquote>

Interestingly, the airport already has four other pet
relief areas, but these are all outdoors, outside of the security areas.
The new one is notable for being inside security, so you don't have to
deal with the line again. It's also notable because the fire hydrant is
just too much. </blockquote>

Jones told the Times that the pet restroom fulfills a
Department of Transportation requirement for airports to provide an area
for service animals to relieve themselves. The San Diego airport opened
it to all dogs, however. </blockquote>

Other airports do have indoor pet relief areas, but this
one appears to be the only one that's fully enclosed, just like a
regular bathroom. </div>
