Home of Dolce and Zucca

Dolce and Zucca are some of the most talented and fun animals that I have had the privilege to know! They are trained by positive reinforcement (clicker training) and can do most anything!

Their antics are featured in a series of short videos which also often include tips for staying healthy and out of trouble—the most recent video can be found below, others are available on the links to your left

How to Hug

Dedicated to the friends we didn't hug enough, Dolce and Zucca have put together an instructional video on How to Hug! Remember your maintenance requirement for hugs is at least 8 a day, and the more the better! So don't be shy, go hug a friend!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Behind the Scenes with Dolce and Zucca

After getting a few new trick props I thought it would be fun to film Dolce and Zucca learning brand new tricks! You can see how they both think through the tricks and offer behaviors based on shaping, capturing and luring. They learn really fast! Try it with your pets but be patient, for their first 100 tricks they might be a little slower! Have fun with your pets!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Learn CPR—Save a Friend!

CPR can save lives - Dolce and Zucca learned the key points: is the victim responsive? are they breathing? if not call 911 immediately then start chest compressions - FAST and HARD! Dolce learned that an AED can save lives, but don't delay compressions. For pets, CPR is a little different since heart attacks are uncommon - make sure they can breathe - then start chest compression FAST and HARD. The tune "Stayin' Alive" is a great rhythm to follow!
