what can I expect if I adopt a senior dog?
Posted on Sep 30, 2008 under Ownership, Senior Dog | 7 Commentsin the future (like 5 years from now) I want to adopt a healthy senior dog. Do I need to do anything special for it? Does it need a senior dog food? I will most likely adopt a senior ex-racing greyhound
First of all I just want to say GOOD FOR YOU! seriously! I have never seen anyone on this site seem to care about adopting an older dog. Everyone wants puppies! Which is really stupid because even if they are adopting them, puppies get adopted 90% of the time. Seniour dogs get put down 90% of the time, so you should be proud of yourself. The main thing that you have to watch out for in a seniour dog (esspecially an ex-racing) is arthritus. It can cause the dog alot of pain and discomfort, so you have to deffinatly watch out for that. Also, dogs get cavities, just like humans, so that can be very costly esspecially as they get older.Other than that greyhounds are very healthy dogs. Just expect to get their shots up to date every year and to buy dog food every month!
A Homeless Dog Story
Posted on Sep 29, 2008 under Caring & Living with Your Dog, Dog Stories | 25 Comments
This is a homeless dog story, actually there are many more of those homeless animals that face the same destiny, I made this video inspiring by a homeless dog I found on my street, last couple of months a car ran on it and crashed his hip, now he can only walk with two front legs. He used to have his home and happy family, but when he grew so big, he was left out by the family. It is sad, and I know that we can prevent this to happen. Take care of your pets because if they could only speak they will say ” They love you so much”

BON AMI Foundation Aired 3_3_08 http://www.bonamifoundation.org/ MISSION: BON AMI (French for great friend) Foundation is an ECO- HUMAN- and ANIMAL-FRIENDLY not-for profit organization that marries two great causes: CANCER SURVIVORS and STRAY CATS and DOGS. Our programs and services empower CANCER SURVIVORS so they have the knowledge and options to [hopefully] prevent reoccurrences and/or new cancers… as well as saving the lives of STRAY DOGS and CATS. BON AMI Foundation provides healthful alternative lifestyle services and activities that include the use of dog and cat therapy (a Pet a day keeps the doctors away), exercise and nutrition, as well as social events and educational symposiums. Our [trained] dogs and people-friendly cats {aka Healing Companions) must meet certain criteria : our pooches are extensively trained by Animal Behavior Consultant & Trainer, Janice Triptow. Companion dogs that have gone through training and certification, but do not meet expectations as “Companion Healing” dogs, will be adopted by senior citizens, employees, and/or family members of cancer survivors. Our goal is to help CANCER SURVIVORS not only SURVIVE but also THRIVE.

Does anyone know of a good DVD about dog training?
Posted on Sep 23, 2008 under Caring & Living with Your Dog, Dog Training, Ownership, Puppy Training | 8 CommentsI am planning on getting a dog, but I’ve never had one before and I don’t know the first thing about training. I want to train it so it doesn’t end up like my cousin’s dog who jumps all over people and barks at everything. I want my dog to be my buddy so please hook me up with some sort of DVD to give me the basics of training my new dog right.
Cesar Millan has several videos on being the pack leader which is a good place to start. Sign up for obedience classes when you get your puppy, read all you can on your breed of dog so you know what to expect. There are a ton of books on training i.e. “Dog tricks for Dummies” Being your dogs pack leader is the first place to start, dogs don’t respect you if you aren’t their leader. giving your dogs rules, boundaries and limitations, not allowing them to do anything they want, giving the dog structure and a strict schedule helps also. But definitely training classes that way you have hands on experience with a professional trainer who can correct you as you go along is the best place to start. If your cousins dog jumps all over people then he has obviously learned that jumping gets him attention, even negative attention (down, off, go away) is attention. Remember reward the behavior you want (treats or praise) and ignore the behavior you don’t want. Always give affection or attention at the right time will make your dog associate the good behavior with the affection, giving affection at the wrong time can make your dog associate it with bad behavior. Remember whatever behavior gets them attention they will repeat so understand when to give attention and affection and learn when not to. Watch “The Dog Whisperer” on Friday nights on the National Geographic channel and “It’s Me or The dog” on Animal Planet, both excellent trainers will show you how to train and correct problem behavior as it arises. Good luck to you start BEFORE you get the dog that way you are prepared to handle whatever problems come along.

How Does Bonding With A Dog Happen?
Posted on Sep 16, 2008 under Caring & Living with Your Dog, Emotional Wellbeing, Puppy | 2 CommentsMy Female Pitbull-Boxer had nine puppies; I gave away six of them and kept three—a sweet female black Lab and two male Mastiffs; I thought I was going to bond with the one male (Kilo), but it happened with the other one (Chico) instead! It’s cool because I love Chico VERY much!!! It turns out that he is also the LEADER of the pack! I would like to know how the BONDING between us happened! Any ideas??? Gracias!
If you fell in love with him you must of gotten to know him the best, By paying more attention to him you bonded to him and he bonded to you. Dogs love people too.
