This is an especially difficult situation, and not one we realize of being so difficult to handle. The obvious choices to one may be: oh well, just dont get a dog, or get one anyway. Neither one of these two responses are satisfactory, but they are choices people quite frequently make. My best friend Kelly, Theas mum, is stuck in this exact conflicting situation. A dog lover from childhood, who has grown up with not just one, but a house full of dogs ever since she can remember to walk... a dog trainer in her college career, and now married, a...

I think that Wolfie has separation anxiety, what can I do about that?First of all, you said that you thought Wolfie had separation anxiety. Lets first describe the symptoms that we can observe to see if this is the case:Uncontrolled barking. If your "soon to be ex" friends and neighbors report that Wolfie is backing incessantly for very long periods of time while you are gone, you might be dealing with separation anxiety.Destruction. ...

Vaccinations need to be undertaken always by the pet owners and the dogs need to be vaccinated at the appropriate time. This helps to improve the resistance of the animal against some specific diseases causing frequently problems in dogs. The dogs that are orphaned due to the death of the mother have lesser protection in their immune system.Such animals are to be particularly protected against various diseases. Vaccination is usually started at the age of five to six weeks and prior to this age, the maternal immunity will be helping the animal...
Summer is here, and especially for us Floridians, we must be very cautious of how the heat impacts our dogs. I see this on a daily basis... dogs lifting up their paws rapidly, or trying to pull even harder to get off the burning grounds, and little do we realize just how hot the side walks are. Today, while at the shelter, I saw a dog indicating "paws on fire" while being taken out to go potty in the play yard that is covered with synthetic turf. Did you know synthetic turf can be 20degrees hotter than natural turf. When taking your dogs out on...
What two roles are required for leadership? Out of those two roles, who is more important? What is leadership? Define this by listing 5 words. Do this on your own first, and then join me as we run through my list. In order to have a leader, we must have a follower. There are two roles required for leadership, Leader and Follower. They are both equally important because you can not effectively have one with out the other. When thinking of Leadership, think of an individual you consider to be a leader. Maybe you know this person through a working...

Thought Id add a sample Emergency Pet Info sheet, since I referenced it in my Riding in Cars with Dogs column from from last week. Heres what mine looks like:(Click to see super-size version.)Its all simple information, but it can easily be forgotten in an emergency. Well worth it to take a few minutes to create a form of your own and stick it in your glove box. You know what they say about an ounce of prevention... © Contents from this blog may...
While fireworks offer a dazzling display for people, they can be quite unsettling to dogs. Many dogs are afraid of fireworks, and some even exhibit an extreme, phobic response. The following tips can help:If you have not lived with your dog for a previous July 4th holiday (therefore, you dont know how hell react to the sound of fireworks), its recommended that you DO NOT leave your dog home alone.

Ahh, misting fan is perfect for hot CGC tests! Our annual summer Canine Good Citizen test was last weekend. It was a great success! We had plenty of fabulous people come to act as the milling crowd, to provide dogs (for both the reaction to another dog test and for the milling crowd test), to hold dogs for the supervised separation, to check people in and just to help set the yard up for the hustle of Saturday mornings! The picture above shows...
Common questions about vaccinations are to be understood by the dog owners, as a priority. One of the common questions is whether the dog needs to be given vaccination on the first week of age or not. The dogs need not be vaccinated within five to six weeks of age. But, if they did not receive vaccinations, then the vaccination against the parvoviral infections used to kill viral vaccines and measles disease may be given. Another common question is whether dog is to be given bordetella disease vaccine and lyme disease vaccine. No, these vaccines...

Hello honorary Campers,All good things must come to an end. And we did it with a bang. Surprise Beach Trip and a graduation during National Dog Party Day. Essie and Charlie were adopted. Krystal and Codi went to fosters. There was a great deal of interest in Dallas, the labs and Cassie. We will continue to update you as they find homes. Most the dogs were on long leashes, allowing them greater freedom...
What does it mean when a pet food is recalled? Dog food recalls are vital to maintaining a safe food supply for our pets. They can be conducted in one of three ways… by a pet food company voluntarily, at the specific request of the Food and Drug Administration or by legal authority. Recalls are almost always voluntary. Only rarely does the FDA actually request a dog food recall. Here’s a list of the most recent dog food recalls in the Dog Food Advisor’s database. Recent Dog Food Recalls Diamond Dog Food Recall Summary (5/6/2012) Canidae Dog Food...
I was walking down the street this weekend and a dog came out of nowhere and ran at me with his teeth showing, baking like a crazy animal. I got away just in time and darted into a neighbors back yard. Is there any thing I can do to avoid this?We have all experienced the barking and running dog at one time or another. The important thing to remember is to how to present an uninteresting target to the dog. The barking and running...
Hi Honorary Campers,Today was a fantastic day. We found the perfect person for Tanner and he did get adopted. Our field trip of the day was to the Firehouse Station 1.
