Wanted: Photo of a dog sniffing! Does your dog love to sniff? He could star in the next newsletter which will be all about using your dog's favorite things (AKA distractions!) as rewards.

Here's another popular distraction/reward: playing with doggie friends:

In this cold weather, I'm grateful for the treadmill, a good game of find the hidden squeaky toy, and fun games with agility command discriminations. You can see the boys compete to see who goes first! Afterward they will be civilized enough to settle down and watch and the Westminster Agility finals--tonight on FOX from 4:30-7pm.

When you’re watching the National dog Show after the parade on Thanksgiving, you may see a familiar face from agility classes. Jane and her Rotties have been part of my classes for many years and I'm so excited for her that Sandy (Libby's daughter) won the breed and will be showing in the working group! This is a huge honor with a dog she bred and handles herself.

The working group goes last tomorrow, FYI.

Different Collar = Different Job.
This is Wager's new collar for therapy dog work. Ever notice how excited your dog gets when you put on hiking boots instead of dress shoes? If he knows what your different clothes mean, he can certainly learn what his different collars mean. I wouldn't want Wager heading for a therapy dog visit thinking he was going to a playdate with a doggy friend or to agility class, so having a special collar, leash, and training bag for his therapy dog class will help him prepare to be sweetly social with people rather than rowdy with other dogs or fast and focused at agility class. Yes, there are many other ways our dogs can figure out what is expected of them: commands, the environment etc, but special equipment and training bags are one way to let them know before they even leave the house. What predictions do you see your dog making based on what you or he are wearing?

I worked for the Cornell vet school researcher who did this study when I was an undergrad. It’s why you’ll never see an extra pound on my dogs. Many things are hard to control, but how much kibble you put in the bowl is easy.

This is why we're the fat-police here at BRX...

This graphic is from a Purina study, some years ago, that split matched Labrador pups into two groups. One group was fed to keep them at a regular pet weight; the other group was fed in a way that kept them lean - not thin, just lean. The pups were followed from birth until death and the difference was staggering.

The lean-fed dogs didn't just live almost two years longer - they developed joint issues later and they were less severe.

Keep your dogs long on hugs... and a bit short on food.
