If you would like to send us your dog stories, dog links, we would be more than happy to share your story in our next newsletter. 1. The School's News -------------- One of the speakers was Dr. Patricia McConnell. She has a radio show, Calling All Pets, and has her TV show Petline played on Animal Planet. She is the author of thirteen books on training and behavioral problems, as well as the critically acclaimed books: The Other End of the Leash (translated now into 13 languages), For the Love of a Dog, and Tales of Two Species. Dr. McConnell will in Auckland Nov 25 and 26, and Natalie will be attending this workshop titled Dog-Dog Aggression.
-------------- KinderPuppy classes: Starts the first Thursday evening of December. We have had a lot of interest. Most places don't give puppy classes during December and January, BUT WE DO! Puppy socialisation is so important. Remember to download the free e-book on our Kinderpuppy page. Older Dog Classes: Everyone is welcome on Thursdays at 6:30pm. Some of the concepts we teach are around self-control, watching the owner, sit/down/stand, Zen exercises, loose leash walking and you have the opportunity to ask any questions that you might have! We have been asked to offer our classes on other nights, and on the weekend. Interest in commencing a Sunday morning class requires another two dogs to make it viable. Keep a look out for our new days, especially with summer's daylight saving 'evenings are good' on its way. -------------- We have two dogs to rehome. One is Max, a Springer Spaniel, and Bones, the black lab. If you know someone looking for a dog, tell them to have a look on our Rehome Webpage. You'll see pictures of Max and Bones. We'll certainly miss them when we find them a new home. --------------

Allowing your dog to demand patting by barking, jumping, or pawing at you creates 'the dog who must be obeyed'. This is a red flag that problems exist in your relationship. Have your dog sit, lie down, shake hands, or perform a trick before giving him what he wants. --------------  Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving With so many Christchurch people still to have their houses rebuilt and with lots of people shifting about, here is a story about moving house that you'll find hard not to laugh at. The artwork is outstanding.
Regretting the "Labradoodle" How does it feel to invent something you later regret? Chase This, Not That! (Patricia McConnell) A dog’s love of a good chase is both a blessing and a curse. It makes playing with them extra fun; what a joy it is to play fetch and chase with some dogs! And it’s got a dark side too–chasers love to chase cats, cars, joggers and bicyclists, and that doesn’t tend to work out so well for all involved. Doggy blog warfare -- Coren vs. Kelley: 
by John-Andrew Sandbrook with detailed mathematical formulas explaining how to get food off the counter, drink out of the toilet, eat a shoe, open a trash can, poop strategically, and so on. Some very funny satire on various conventional admonitions in trng, including agility and herding. I'm not smart enough to get any "inside" jokes in the formulas. But the text is funny enough. Any of my dawggs could have been consultants for this book. (Review by Geof Stern)
Big pharma (CBC video) is promoting mood altering drugs for pets. Is it a sign of our compassion or evidence of an overly indulgent society chasing its tails. History of the change in the german shepherd over the years -------------------- There is only one immutable law in life -- in a gentleman's toilet, incoming traffic has the right of way. -- Hugh Leonard |
