The Whole Dog Journal

Good job, Pat!

Pat - you just made my day! The stop/ go technique when the dog pulls on a leash worked so well with my dog that I now tell others about it, including dog walkers who have trouble with larger dogs.

In a perfect world Dave. Municipal shelters don't have the luxury of screening adoptive families for more then simple quailificatons. In their world, better adopted by an unprepared family then euthed. One advantage we have is a crew of 100 volunteers who are socializing many dogs and can advise potential owners. Still we have a revolving door and boomarang dogs. What handling exercises do you do with puppies? http://www.alaskadognews.com

The best thing we have these days is awareness, which was not there years ago.

I just subscribed to WDJ and love it.

Love the Whole Dog Journal!

I've been a subscriber for years and highly recommend it to everyone !

Yes, AC is ANIMAL CONTROL ... I've been involved with animal rescue groups etc for 17 years....some AC's try very hard but are "open door" and have to take everything in....therefore very limited space....and we all know what that means

I hate to say this but after working rescue for several years I have found that all too often taking an older dog to a shelter is a death sentence. Too many of them consider older dogs unadoptable and don't even try to adopt out. Try to find someone to take him if you can and please don't put him on craig's list free to a good home, that's just as bad. Check with local dog rescue groups, especially those that take mixes. Someone or some group will take him.

Wow, that looks familiar.. ha

Must be Weims

just got a 12 week old lab.

We have three rescued dogs, and this month we took on a foster Australian Cattle Dog! Lovely pup who will be a delight to some lucky family...

Also diatomaceous earth! Use FOOD grade and you can use it in your yard, and ON YOUR PETS! It's 100% safe! VERY effective!

My dog has fleas- and I want to get rid of them naturally, not with chemicals. I bathed him yesterday, but evidently not long enough- fewer fleas, but they're still there and he's scooting. I'll try adding the acv to his water and comb comb comb.

It's been 5 days, no e-mail from WDJ yet.

Today has been a week since I sent an e-mail to customer service requesting log in information as of yet I have gotten no response.

For me it isn't size so much as the energy level of the dog. When I go out and run, I like to take my dog with me.

My dog goes every day to a great camp...training is extra and/or during specified classes, however my little guy is well socialized, loved, supervised, safe,and well-exercised as the result of camp. He's off to a great start...just turned ONE, he's been going since he was 8 weeks old....he loves camp and the camp is GREAT (Westhampton Mass). ....... Read MorePersonally, our camp is, in my opinion, very well priced and superior as far as trained and helpful staff. And, I am well-aware that I am fortunate to be able to do this with and for my dog!

LOL - looks like my house! House full of Golden Retrievers!!!
