TIP OF THE WEEK – Calm the tail and you calm the dog! Think about a dog when it is excited – one of the first things that happen is that the tail goes straight up. So that you are touching the tail area becomes normal to your dog - get your dog used to you slowly sliding your hands from top of neck all the way down the back, and then gently clasping the tail against the hindquarters. It is amazing what a difference this gentle stroke and gentle clasping can make.

A TASTE FOR MEAT??

The issue of how to classify the dog and how to best feed dogs continues to be a highly controversial topic among dog people.

A recent set of experiments conducted by researchers who study free-ranging dogs in India did some research as to what dogs really preferred, and the results re interesting – enjoy!

SHOCK AND EMERGENCY FIRST AID

The term “shock” is often used incorrectly. It’s more than just the uncomfortable feeling after an accident. Shock is actually a medical term for a loss of circulation. This means that your dog’s blood pressure becomes critically low and the brain and other vital organs aren’t getting enough blood. Make sure you know the signs to look out for.
