dog quote of the week
"Dogs have given us their absolute all. We are the center of their universe. We are the focus of their love and faith and trust. They serve us in return for scraps. It is without a doubt the best deal man has ever made. " - Roger Caras dog photo of the week: hobbie
Meet Hobbie (AKA Lord Hobbit Baggins) our featured dog photo of the week. Hobbie is a 3rd generation Ori Pei puppy. Isn't he adorable? Leave comments on Hobbie's Blog Page.

teaching two dogs to get along Adding a second (or third) dog to the family? We are pleased to provide these tips for introducing dogs properly into their new dog families.
Choosing a housemate that will be compatible with your current dog is an important consideration for anyone thinking about expanding their family. Before bringing home that cute little puppy or adorable mutt from the local shelter take some time to evaluate the personality, training and history of your current dog(s) and the one that you are considering. Some thoughtful reflection now can spare you unnecessary headaches later.
Choosing The Right Pet For The Right Reasons If your dog is active and outgoing, adopt a dog with similar qualities. If your dog is quiet and more reserved, look for a dog that will compliment this type of lifestyle. Try to find out as much information from the adopting agency as possible. Most shelters and rescue groups have some form of temperament testing used to evaluate the dogs in their charge. Look to see that the adoptable dog has been around other dogs before. Most dogs have to “learn” how to get along with each other.
If the dog you are considering has not been socialized properly, it might be best to consider another dog with better social skills. The same goes for your own dog. Even though we tend to think otherwise, it’s generally not a good idea to get your current dog a “pet”. If and when you do decide to bring a second (or third or fourth) home, make sure you are doing it for you!
Steps For Introducing New Dogs To Current Family Dogs 1) Don’t force your “home team” dog to protect their home turf. If the dogs meet in a neutral location, they are less likely to view the other as an intruder. Start in a neutral zone such as a neighbor’s fenced in yard or enclosed park that your resident dog has not visited. Each dog should be on a leash and handled by a separate person.
2) Positive reinforcement training works. You want your dogs to have positive experiences with each other right from the start. Let your dogs sniff each other and greet each other normally. Give them positive reinforcement through calm verbal affirmations. After letting them play for a while, put both dogs in a “sit” or “stay”, then let them interact again. Finally, take them on walks together, allowing them to sniff each other along the way. new & woof-tastic: plush berber bat toy
