Write to Dr. Jacki, ASK THE VET


I'm going to let the cat out of the bag, here. I've been on the hunt for a trainer to write a column of the ASK THE TRAINER sort. After watching, reading, and communicating with quite a few, one has surfaced with the desire, drive, care and compassion that I want for my readers and their dogs.

I also like her approach: How your dog is to behave is entirely up to you; it is your home. Isn't that a respectable way to raise a dog? To allow the owner to decide if their dog is allowed on the couch, sleeps on the floor, or becomes a lap dog--it's all up to you. She's not a cookie cutter trainer; that's for sure. Many would insist that the dog remains on the floor at all times...period. Oliver would not care for that approach.

So we're going to let this trainer give us a trial run. After all, I'm such a slave driver that she ought to have a chance to work with me before she "signs on the dotted line." Just kidding of course. I'm not really a slave driver!

I hope you'll watch the blog closely for her post. I anticipate it will arrive sometime in the near future, and I'll be eager to see if I can pull this off without going bonkers. I'm going to enjoy the challenge of juggling my own posts with Dr. Jacki's and the trainer's; I hope you do too.

Be sure to drop me a line and let me know what you think: LetsAdoptaDogPark@gmail.com.

Ziggy is Ready to Begin Training
Hello, and welcome back to my favorite place to rattle about dog stuff. A while back when I ran a poll asking you, my readers, what you'd like to see on this blog, I got some of the input I anticipated. The top 2 requests were for columns such as Ask the Trainer and Ask the Vet.

You asked for it, and I'm working on it. Dr. Jacki has been on board since last Fall, answering all sorts of interesting dog health questions. Your letters and comments have been very encouraging to me. By the way, if you would like to look up her posts, they are all listed with links at ASK THE VET ARCHIVES. Thanks for participating.

Just this week I have had good discussions with a trainer who is interested in doing the same type of column here on All Things Dog Blog. We'll be running a post tomorrow, in which she will answer a question that one of you sent to me. Quite honestly, it's one of those training questions that I was not positive how to handle. I'm glad to find a professional who is willing to take it on.

Your letters and comments to this upcoming post will be most helpful. After all, before I bring on new "staff", I want to be sure you guys approve. You're my bread and butter, so to speak. So speak up! Remember, the comment link is at the bottom of EVERY post, and you can always email me at LetsAdoptaDogPark@gmail.com. Watch for our trainer trial run tomorrow!
