The Dreaded Tick Check

If you are someone who lives in an area where there are ticks at certain (read: all but frozen) times of the year, you know the importance of checking your dog for ticks after coming in from time spent outside. Tick-borne illnesses can be devastating for humans and dogs alike, so this is really a critical part of the care and wellbeing of your dog. And, if you’re a dog-loving human and you’re really into dog training, you probably already have lots of things both fun and important to work on with your dog. Tick checking may be something that you fumble your way through - I know I did. At least until Kerby.
