Dear Readers I would like to share the following email with you. I am a representative of the wonderful company, Trilogy Pets -

Ten years ago, Trilogy International opened for business with a small staff, including Dr. Jane Bicks, offering just a few nutritional supplements and care products for companion animals. In those early days, Dr. Jane had time enough to answer all of the questions posed by Field Reps and customers, as well as stay informed about the latest nutritional research and formulate new products.

Your active, fun loving Terrier needs training. Take advantage of the smart side of this little active package of a dog. An untrained terrier is not fun.

The westie is a small “package” of a dog with a giant’s personality, with an equally big global following worldwide. People want the dog as a pet, a show dog, an obedient competitor, or sometimes all of the above! Are you a westie owner with the aim of helping your westie achieve his very best? Well, prepare to be barraged with a wall of “mommy/daddy” concerns up to your neck!

I was driving to my local pet store and turned off a main street into a side street when around the corner comes one little dog…off leash, no owner in site, running towards one of the busiest streets in the area.

My Nikki and adopted dog, Shorty:  Read my new book!   ”Hurray, I’m Going Home…Blueprint For Pet Adoption“

I adopted a black lab, a “little female” from the humane society about 1 1/2 years ago. When she came to us she was suspicious about her surroundings, of course, but sweet. She was great with our resident golden retriever, but did have issues with other dogs, mostly the big ones.

My hubby and I watched a lot of Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer, (I still do). Cesar taught me what to expect from my dog, how to leave her past behind…without making her drag it around with her all the time, and he also taught me what I can expect from my dog.

I took her to dog training classes. But mostly, what helped me was Cesar. She became calmer day by day, and now I can walk her without pulling, without hassle when I go past another dog. And, she comes on recall.

Most of all, after 1 1/2 years, she is becoming so loving with other people. She is such a good dog. I am still working on the “big dog issue”. She still has some problems, but only when a big dog gets in her face. But, there is NO signs of aggression, more fear or aggravation.

Anyways, people, if you have an adopted dog, please have the patience to continue with your teaching, your training, and your expectations. The reward will be fantastic for both of you!!!! And, watch Cesar Millan, he will help you more than anything else!! And also include dog training. Read the rest of this entry »
