A thinking dog

Many people are looking for what will give them a well behaved and calm dog in the house.
There is a simple solution, make your dog think!
What do you need to do to have a thinking dog, anything that will cause them to use brain power.
Rather than just playing fetch, make the dog sit and wait. Hide the toy in an easy to find place. This will allow the dog the think as well as exercise.

Have you ever been to a all day seminar or lecture for work?
At the end of the day you are exhausted but haven't done any more than use your brain.
Brain power causes a chemical change which relax the body.

Now think of a marathon runner. What do they do to increase their ability to run longer distances, they run. Exercising our dogs is very important for their health and happiness. But exercise builds energy. So, walking or running your dog will only physically tire it for short period of time.
Now put thought power into place and you will have a calm dog.
Utilize your commands more frequently. To sit for any length of time requires the dog to focus it's energies into a single command and creates brain power.
A calm dog is a thinking dog, so make your dog think and you will both be happier.

Alfatoxin killing pets

Most likely, you have heard about the tragic situation in the news recently. At least 100 dogs nationwide died as a result of eating contaminated pet food from a well-known pet food company. This company has recalled 19 varieties of dog and cat food in 23 states. The toxin comes from a fungus found on corn and other crops and can cause severe liver damage in pets. Unfortunately, this terrible tragedy has not ended yet … more dogs are showing symptoms of the toxin.This is an extremely difficult time and our hearts go out to the families of those dogs that have died. As you know, our pets are our family and the loss of a dog or cat is just as painful as the loss of a family member.That is why I want to assure you that your pet is not in any danger eating any of our HealthyPetNet foods. As a veterinarian and formulator, I am aware of how the aflatoxin mold attaches itself to corn and other crops. That is why we have never used corn or wheat in our foods and we never will. Of equal importance is our quality control program, which is designed to keep our pet foods safe.

Anti-PAWS

There are underlying attempts by individual organization to limit and eventual remove dogs from our lives. These Animal Rights organizations have profited from emotional propaganda to get people to support their industry to the tune of billions of dollars. Now they have the funding and placed their people into the political arena to begin their swipe of dog and animal ownership.
Please review this information below and go the link provide to sign a petition against this never ending drive to control dog/pet ownership.
animal welfare has nothing at all to do with the welfare of animals. I has to do with the removal of and use of animals in our lives!
To: U.S. Congress
Whereas, S1139, and HR2669, known as the Pet Animal Welfare Act of 2005/2006 (PAWS) have nothing to do with the protection of animals, but are a usurpation of animal ownership, and use rights, and place the federal government into every private property of every animal owner in the United States of America. And whereas, the animal owner citizenry of the United States of America have written letters to our members of Congress voicing our opposition to S1139/HR2669, but have received answers that thank us for our support. And whereas, we who stand in opposition to S1139/HR2669 were not allowed to participate in the public hearings to voice our opposition. And whereas, Wayne Pacelle, of the Humane Society of the US, lied to the Senate Agriculture Committee, testifying that we who stand in opposition to S1139/HR2669 are "dogfighters". And Whereas, we the undersigned law abiding citizen animal owners have no option but to post our opposition to S1139/HR2669 to this petition on this public forum. Respectfully we stand firmly in opposition to S1139/HR2669, and further we vow with our signatures to refuse to comply with S1139/HR2669 should Congress pass them into law.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned http://www.petitiononline.com/nopaws/petition.html

Train them don't blame them!

This is Casey. He weighs about 140 pounds.
You would think a 140 pound dog gets to do what ever he wants!
Not true, Casey is a well trained, well behaved dog who can go with his owners anywhere and be as calm as he appears to be in this picture.

No one gets a dog with the intent of having problems.
Casey's owners were aware that he would grow from a small little bundle into a very big dog, so they trained him.
They trained him to be around other dogs, people and in different environments. They trained him to respond to their commands quickly and effectively.
They trained him to listen and respond no matter where he was or what was going on around him.
He was trained with a balance of reward and correction.
