FEATURED
DOGS
We have six senior/special needs
dogs “on hold.” Check out their stories on
our website.
Dogs over 9 years old are
considered senior dogs, although a great number of them still have more energy
than their owners. It all depends on the dog, some may have slowed down, even
gotten a little gray in their beautiful coat or have some minor health issues
requiring daily medication. However,
they still have a lot of love and kisses to give a loving family. The big
benefit to a "senior" dog is they are already trained, have good
house manners and life experience. Special
needs dogs may require a special home, such as few or no stairs, no
children and etc. Some of these may be shy or unsocialized dogs who have grown
enough to move with a medical issue that needs to be controlled on a daily
basis, which does not prevent the dog from living a normal active life. Take a few minutes to look over these
seasoned dogs that still have much love to give. If interested, contact Candi Lynn at frostysd1@yahoo.com.

BOOK
BARKS
- Doctor Dunbar’s Good
Little Dog Book
(144 pages) by Dr. Ian Dunbar. This
little book is intended primarily as a brief but comprehensive guide to puppy
training. Consequently, it contains hints for socialization, temperament
training and behavior modification as well as tips for teaching basic manners.
Dr. Dunbar's lure/reward training techniques are certainly not limited to
puppies. On the contrary, they have become the method of choice for instructing
good-natured, but otherwise uneducated adult dogs. Dr. Dunbar's training techniques are
altogether quicker, easier, gentler, more effective, and certainly considerably
more enjoyable for you and your dog. And so without further ado, turn to the
Good Manners section and begin training your puppy dog right away. Lure/reward
training techniques work like a treat!
- The Power of Positive
Dog Training (288
pages) by Pat Miller, CPDT, CDBC. A renowned dog trainer gives you the positive
training tools you need to share a lifetime of fun, companionship, and respect
with your dog. Plus, you'll get: information on the importance of observing,
understanding, and reacting appropriately to your dog's body language;
instructions on how to phase out the use of a clicker and treats to introduce
more advanced training concepts; a diary to track progress; suggestions for
treats your dog will respond to; and a glossary of training terms. The Power
of Positive Dog Training demonstrates how you can train your dog, have fun,
and build a lasting relationship at the same time. Walk away from
punishment-based training methods and learn how you can reward your dog to
obtain and reinforce the behaviors you could only dream about achieving. Donated by Debbie Radanovic + Fran Fisher.
