See that adorable, fluffy face? That is my Yorkie, Trouble. And boy, does she ever live up to her name! She's the sweetest little dog in the universe, but she does have her moments. She, like many smaller breeds, can be quite stubborn at times. It's as if she knows how cute she is, and totally uses it to her advantage. I just can't stay mad at that face, even if she DID just raid the litterbox and eat a bunch of cat poop. (Did I mention how gross dogs can be sometimes?) 

Anyway, Trouble definitely has moments where her "Small Dog Syndrome" comes shining through. Training her has been our biggest challenge. For one, I am no Dog Whisperer. I know how to snuggle and spoil, but I am not the best at training. I rely on outside help for that, such as books, websites, and even expert advice from trained professionals. 

So when I learned about WOOFtale, the exciting new wearable technology for pups, I was beyond excited. This great tool, brought to you by the AKC (American Kennel Club) offers a simple, convenient, plugged-in way to connect with, coach, and create priceless memories with your pooch. You can even connect with other pet owners via social media! How cool is that?! I have to say, some of the best pet advice I have received has come from other pet parents. 

With WOOFtale you will be able to:

• Locate your dog 24/7 via GPS, set virtual safety perimeters and share your dog’s location instantly.
• Connect with fellow dog-lovers across social networks, create events and meet-ups, browse activities, follow your friends and their dogs, and share to your customized dog-lover network.
• Track walks, monitor calories and record everything along the way.
• Teach your dog basic commands and more with training videos, expert tips, and how-to-articles.

I have to admit, while all of these features sound spectacular, I am most looking forward to checking out the training videos, tips, and articles. I mean, my Trouble is a wonderful companion just the way she is, but I would love to teach her some tricks, as well as give her the structure and discipline she needs to reach her greatest pup potential. And yes, I want to keep her from eating cat poop. Not gonna lie about that. 

A little birdie told me that WOOFtale will be launching sometime this spring or summer. I also found out that I will be among the first to try this revolutionary pet product. I am SO excited, and cannot wait to share my experiences with you!
