A Dog Owners Dream Come True!
I know you're wondering what this is all about. I've setup a
newsletter training series that will help you learn how to relate
better with your dog. It is a training class, but not for your dog.
It's a training class for you and it's FREE.
Here's a testimonial from one of my readers.
"This is hands-down the most powerful
dog training information I've ever seen!"

Dog Joke
A Dog Goes Duck Hunting
There was this man that took his dog duck hunting with him
in his little john boat.
When the ducks flew over head he shot and one fell. He told the
dog to go and get the duck. The dog jumped from the boat walked
across the water, got the duck, and came back.
The duck hunter couldn't believe his eyes. So he waited until
more ducks flew over, shot, one fell, he ordered the dog to go
get the duck. The jumped from the boat walked across the water,
got the duck, and came back. The still couldn't believe his eyes.
So off to town he went to find a preacher because everyone
believes a preacher.
Well when they are sitting the boat, ducks fly by, man shoots,
one falls, he orders the dog to fetch. The dog jumps from the
boat walks across the water gets the duck and comes back.
The preacher didn't say anything.
So the man asked the preacher, "didn't you see anything strange
about my dog?"
The preacher answered, "Sure he can't swim."

Allergies and Pets
Question: Why does my pet develop allergies?
Answer: A healthy immune system is designed
to recognize and eliminate any foreign protein or
other substances from the pet's body. When the
immune system over reacts, that reaction is termed
an allergy or sensitivity.
While veterinarians distinguish between the two terms
based on their chemical reactions, the pet and it's owner
don't. All they know is the dog is uncomfortable and has
problems: excessive biting and scratching, hives, hair
loss, vomiting or diarrhea, runny eyes, bronchitis, asthma,
sore ears, etc. Obviously something is not agreeing
with the animal.
The foreign agent may have entered the body by:
1. Ingestion of food ingredients.
2. Inhalation.
3. Body contact with grass, carpets, soap, lotions, flea
control products, etc.
Determining that a condition is an allergy or sensitivity
takes veterinary know how. Once it's determined the
symptoms are due to a reaction, it's your job to play
Sherlock Holmes and discover the substance causing
your pet to suffer.
The easiest way is to limit your pet's exposure. A
contact allergy/sensitivity generally creates symptoms at
the point of contact. Contact allergy/sensitivity will
usually cause an area to become irritated, itchy, swollen,
or abnormal looking.
Ingestion allergy/sensitivity can cause gastrointestinal
or skin problems (in cats most often skin problems).
The most common allergy causing food ingredients
include: milk, cheese, chicken, soy, and beef.
Serve your pet a food with a protein it has never had
before and a gluten free carbohydrate.
If your pet's symptoms are the result of something in
the food, positive results should be seen within a week
to 1 month.
Check the label on your pet food to see if something that
may be in the food causing your pet's problems.

dinner, then we suggest your taking a look here:
