| Posted: 13 Apr 2010 09:41 AM PDT   ... not really.Lazy is more like it. Anyway, we have to tell you about our AWFUL parents! Can you believe they went on vacation without us!! Yes, first, mom left us on Thursday. So it was just us and dad. She didn't even warn us properly. Lola was sniffing all around trying to find her. She even cried for a little while. What... an awful mother. THEN- dad left on Saturday morning! Yes, we were by ourselves for the whole day. Then when mom got back, dad wasn't with her. We had to wait a whole day until dad came back. This is just ridiculous. We need to keep these parents on a shorter leash. They think they run this place... -D&L-   |

| Frisbee Choices for Your Disc Dog Posted: 12 Apr 2010 12:00 PM PDT Frisbee Choices: Part V by Chris Engel  Bandit's Frisbee of Choice In order to wrap up this Frisbee Dog 101 series, it's important to mention disc selection. There are many out there. First off, the discs you can buy at most pet stores are completely useless and, in fact, can harm your dog. They can be extremely brittle and have sharp rims which might cut your dog's gums. Just do a search for canine discs and you should come up with a few. The three best discs on the market can be found at:
Well, I hope this has provided you with a foundation for getting started with your dog and I REALLY hope to see you on the field one day. For now ... this is Chris, Bandit and "Flight Time" Kota signing off. Happy Disc Doggin !

| Sneak Peak: New Eco-Friendly Washable Dog Diapers from DogQuality.com Posted: 11 Apr 2010 03:52 PM PDT Over the past few months we at DogQuality.com have been hard at work developing a new line of eco-friendly washable dog diapers. The motivation for these products was based on consistent feedback received from senior dog owners who have been frustrated with the dog diapers currently on the market. Key issues include:
Taking in all this feedback we wanted to create a truly environmentally friendly, comfortable, absorbent, waterproof and cost effective solution for dealing with dog incontinence and bowel troubles. As a result, we created the Washable Wonders™, self-absorbent, reusable dog diapers which do not require a pad insert because of a super soft and extremely absorbent microfiber lining, which holds up to 7 times its weight in liquid. The diaper’s outer shell is made of a waterproof PUL material which will keep your carpets and furniture dry. So soft and comfortable for your dog and so effective for your peace of mind. These dog diapers will come in a variety of sizes to fit small, medium and large dogs. We have created two styles of the Washable Wonders™ - a full diaper style and a male wrap design. Initial testing has been completed and further modifications have been made based on the results. The next stage is customer trials. We are looking for approximately 14 customers with dogs (male and female) suffering from incontinence to help us with the final round of testing. Each selected customer will be sent a free sample as well as a list of questions to provide the necessary feedback on the diapers. Final modifications will be made based on this feedback to ensure that we bring the best dog diapers to market. If you are interested in participating in the testing please email me, Ann-Marie Fleming, at afleming@dogquality.com with a note explaining why you feel your dog would be a great tester for this product line. I hope you are getting as excited as I am about the help these diapers will give to owners and dogs alike. Here is a sneak peek at the diapers:

| ASK THE TRAINER: The Dilemma of the Too-Friendly Dog Posted: 10 Apr 2010 03:39 PM PDT Find me on Facebook Follow me on Twitter Write to Dr. Jacki, ASK THE VET ASK THE TRAINER at All Things Dog Blog  Enough Kisses Already! Dear Judy: Hello, and thank you for being there. I am writing about my little Papillon, Jacque. He is a very friendly little boy who enjoys greeting dogs and humans. The only problem with this is that he is too enthusiastic about his greetings. The real problem is when Jacque greets people by jumping up or onto their laps, with far too much excitement. His tiny little claws can sometimes scratch people with delicate skin. Some of my friends find this offensive, and I have to put Jacque in another room or his crate when they visit. I would like Jacque to learn a calmer greeting--sit and wait to be petted. I am hopeful that you can guide me through the steps to teach Jacque this skill. Carrie assures me it will simply be a matter of time and practice. Thanks, Joan ------------------------------------- Dear Joan: Let's face it, large or small, some dogs are just too friendly--way too friendly. Everyone is welcomed with the same reckless enthusiasm--friends and strangers alike. Fact: not everyone appreciates these boisterous greetings or enjoys being licked non-stop, jumped on, and/or tail whipped by an in-your-face, happy-to-see-you dog. Friends and family may not say so, but many of them wish you'd put your dog in another room when they come to visit. Yes, I agree that too friendly dogs are for the most part, a joy to be around, much easier for your visitors to cope with than let's say, an aggressive dog. However, we have to look at this from your visitor's perspective. Family and friends like spending time with you, otherwise they wouldn't be visiting, BUT, you have a dog that you can't control and it's become a real nuisance, and not just to them but to you too. Try as you may, you can't get him to stop. Instead of welcoming your guests into your home graciously, you're involved in a battle with Fido at the door. Okay, battle may be a strong word; but when you have to grab and hold on to his collar or in other ways wrestle with him in an attempt to keep him from jumping all over everyone, it can be a battle. There are as many solutions as there are owners and dogs. Let's accept that you have, over time, conditioned your dog to behave this way. What's next? Begin by making sure your dog is getting enough outdoor exercise. That's right; walk your dog at least once every day for 15 to 45 minutes depending upon his size, age, and exercise requirements. Twice a day is much better. Sometimes boredom is the primary motivator to over-excitement.  Besides this, a tired dog is nearly always a calmer dog when visitors come to call. Whether it be the UPS guy or a good friend, Fido will be more mellow when he has been vigorously exercised. I'll be back in a few days with several more tips. For now, work on increasing Fido's exercise. Check back shortly for my next post, or contact me at Total Control Dog Owner Assistance.

The Dog's Life Dog-a-Blog
The Dog's Life Dog-a-Blog |
| Posted: 08 Apr 2010 05:27 PM PDT   G'day Dog Lovers, I spent yesterday afternoon wandering around the dog judging area at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. It was a great way to spend a warm, sunny afternoon watching some beautiful canines in action. The first breed I saw was the Neapolitan Mastiff. These gorgeous, gentle giants attracted plenty of admiring onlookers with their droopy "sad-sack" looks, imposing size and slightly funny run. The next ring along played host to some junior handlers strutting their stuff. These guys and girls, some as young as about 10, were very impressive dressed to the nines as they moved their dogs around the ring. I also got to watch the judging of one of my favourite breeds, the French Bulldog. These funny little clowns are impossible not to love and mangaged to attract a decent crowd as well. The Easter Show runs until April 14, so there's still time to head along and watch some beautiful show dogs in action. Head to www.eastershow.com.au for more info       |

| The Adoption Option: Help from Adopt-a-Pet Posted: 08 Apr 2010 01:01 PM PDT Find me on Facebook Follow me on Twitter Write to Dr. Jacki, ASK THE VET If you missed my first post about Adopt a Pet, you can still find it here at Join Me for a Tour of Adopt-a-Pet. Sometimes you find a site that can't be reviewed in one short post. This one falls into that category. My favorite feature of their pet-finding search boxes is the Search Saver. The Search Saver will actually keep looking for your requested pet, and notify you by email when it becomes available in your area. No more daily or weekly trolling through pages of pets, looking for just the right Rover.Their software will do it for you! Adopt-a-Pet is also working to make it easier for you to share pet possibilities with others. They call this Social Petworking, and it works through Facebook, Twitter and other social applications. You can use their Social Petworking feature with a quick sign up at this link: Adopt-a-Pet Social Petworking. I checked this out and found that they have had 115,000+ pets shared through this application already. That's simply awesome. If you are totally over the moon about adoptions and rescues, Adopt-a-Pet has some fabulous code you can post on your website to promote pet adoption. They partnered with artist Shepard Fairey to create the artwork, and also sell products with this cool design at Mutts Like Me. You'll notice a sample of this at the top of this post, and one in my sidebar. I love the image! If you love it too, you can even download computer wallpaper or cell phone backgrounds (Blackberries, IPhones, Razors and regular cell phones) with this art at the Mutts Like Me site. It's free; they just want to get the word out about adoption. Time to wrap this up. One last topic and I'm outa here. Adopt a Pet has also provided a nice resource about veterinary care on their website. For folks who are not up to speed on what they might need for their new housemate, this is really helpful. Be sure to check out What to Ask Your Veterinarian. I certainly hope all this wonderful information about adoption has gotten you to thinking about sharing your home with a less fortunate furry friend. I've provided a lot of resource materials here, and encourage you to use the search function at the top of the page to find anything you're interested in learning about sharing your home with a dog. Here's wishing you an awesome adoption. Follow All Things Dog at Twitter Find me at Facebook Be sure to visit Adopt a Dog Park to learn what you can do to help protect our precious dog parks.
