The Real Dog Blog

Grading the Presidents

Ok, so I seldom get involved with politics but this is a funny article on grading the presidents based on how they treated their pets.

An Answer To Dog Fighting

With all the news about Michael Vick and his horrendous behavior, here's a much better story. It's titled "Don't Be a Mike" and it's about a grass roots effort to help keep dogs out of the the dog fighting rings. It's a great read. I hope all cities can get involved with something like this.

I'm back

OK, after a very long absence, I'm finally back. I took time off to finish a book (among other things) and now I want to try to get back into the swing of blogging. So here I am again.

Oh, and if you want to check out my new book...visit my dog daycare website. It's called Off-Leash Dog Play and I co-authored the book with Susan Briggs. It's a a comprehensive resource that contains valuable information for both pet professionals and for any dog owner. Whether you operate or work in a dog daycare, a pet boarding facility, a kennel, or a shelter, offer off-leash playgroups, or just visit the dog parks, the book will assist you in having safe, fun playtimes and doggy encounters. In addition to covering leadership, group control and body language, the book offers insight into the dogs' scent, vocal and visual communication.

Ok, shameless plug, but it's my blog so I guess I'm allowed, right?
