“Secrets To Dog Training” Helpful and Informative
I recently received an email from a friend of mine who’d just read all 260 pages of “Secrets To Dog Training”:
“I did find a lot of the information very helpful and informative and even tried a few moves when I went home over lunch. I think it would be a fantastic thing for all brand new dog owners to have. I had already read a lot of what was in this information, but there was new material too. I consider myself a dog whisperer, but didn’t know it had a name. Gave me some clues in terms of the dog’s body language to watch for that I never would have thought of. Also confirmed that I need to go get a sandbox for Zoey…not only because she loves playing in it, but would give her an alternative place to dig than in my grass!”
My friend is now building her sandbox!

Holiday Safety Tips for Dogs
One of my Facebook friends recently posted she came home from work to find her Shiba Inu had vomited several times and was reluctant to move. After a night at the Emergency Vet and a series of IVs, she was diagnosed with a mild case of pancreatitis. The vet said it was caused either by eating people food or the puppy food that my friend had brought home with her new second Shiba Inu pup.
They chalked it up to the latter and her dog now is just fine and enjoying her new playmate. But hearing her story did make me think of all the changes that happen in my own home over the holidays and how many new and exciting things we add to our tables and use to decorate our houses, sometimes without realizing the dangers they could present to a curious puppy. I found a very good article by Marty Smith, DVM of Drs. Foster & Smith, Inc. and peteducation.com, covering:
- Food
- Poisonous Plants
- Trees and Decorations
- Gifts and Wrapping
- Visitors
- New Pets

Wishing you a blessed season!
