PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD – Are you struggling with your new puppy or rescue dog? Or perhaps you’re considering adding a puppy or rescue dog to your family. In either case, Puppy & Rescue Headstart-ONLINE can help!

Puppy & Rescue Headstart – Online is specifically for those people: 1) contemplating getting a puppy or a rescue, 2) getting a puppy or rescue dog, or 3) who already have a puppy or rescue dog. You do not need your new canine friend to take the class. Increasing numbers of our students start the course before bringing their dog home, so they are ready on the first day.

The class is taught by Don Hanson, who has been helping people and their dogs since 1996. He is Maine’s only Professional Canine Behavior Consultant accredited by the PPAB. You may learn more and enroll at https://forcefreepets.com/puppy-registration/

PLEASE SHARE: Are you considering getting a puppy, a kitten, a cat or a dog? At Green Acres Kennel Shop we offer a FREE program called Which Pet for Me/Our Family?

This program is an opportunity for you to discuss getting a pet with pet care professionals that are NOT trying to convince you to adopt or purchase a pet. You will be able to ask us questions, and we will offer objective advice based on over twenty years of experience with thousands of dogs and cats of various breeds and types. Unlike a breeder, pet store, shelter or rescue we will not be trying to get you to purchase or adopt a pet from us. We will ask you questions as well; about your lifestyle; current and future, and what you are looking for in a pet. Additionally, we suggest that you consider asking us all of the following questions:

• What type of pet will be best for us, a dog or a cat?
• What are the pros and cons of an adult pet vs. a youngster?
• Is getting two pets at the same time a good idea?
• How important is the age of the pet I choose?
• What breed of pet will best match our lifestyle?
• Are their breeds we should avoid?
• Small pet versus a big pet; pros and cons?
• Coat type (short versus long); pros and cons?
• Mix vs.a purebred; pros and cons?
• How can I find reputable breeder or shelter/rescue?
• How will children impact my decision?
• What level of training will my pet require?
• How much is a pet going to cost me, now and in the future?

We offer this program for FREE because we want to help you make the best decision possible so that your pet and you become and remain, best friends for life. Which Pet For Me/Our Family? is scheduled on an individual basis, so give us a call at 945-6841.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD-Summer & Hot Weather Pet Tips –– It is summer, and additional safety concerns for our pets come with the change in seasons. The heat, sun, and humidity can adversely affect your pets this time of year. If we enjoy spending time in the water, we also need to consider water safety as it applies to our pets. Bug bites, parasites, pollen, blue-green algae, toxic mushrooms, and chemicals used on the lawn and garden must also be a concern. Holiday gatherings and traveling are also something you must consider from your pet's perspective. FMI – https://forcefreepets.com/summer-hot-weather-pet-care-tips/
