My dogs, Ami and Maggie, and a friend and her two dogs, Dawid and Bennie, and I am leaving for a short holiday today! Just have to quickly update my blogs. Can't wait!!! We are going to a beautiful guest farm close to Pearly Beach. We are renting a small cottage on the farm and are planning to just relax, play games and enjoy the dogs and all of God's creation.
The cottage is situated on the banks of a large farm dam - I'm sure the dogs, especially Ami, is going to love that.
If you take your dogs with you on holiday, please remember the following:
1. make sure they are protected against fleas and ticks.
2. always have enough water with you
3. that they have their name tags on
4. keep them on leash in public areas so they won't bother other people
5. take enough plastic bags to clean up after your dogs.
If you don't take them with you,
1. Make sure they are well taken care of by someone responsible or
2. Book them into a reputable kennels.

Enjoy your holidays, have a blessed Christmas and a prosperous 2009!

Dog Training - Simplified
By Cary Benjamin
The benefits of being a dog owner a huge, and if you're a dog owner, I'm absolutely positive you already know this. Unfortunately, the biggest difficulties faced by dog owners are usually dealing with disobedient dogs. It can lead to some harsh feelings between owner and dog, create stress in the owner, family and friends. Fortunately, it can all be avoided and a loving, long lasting relationship can be cultured with some very simple techniques.
If someone were to sum up dog training into a very quick summary, it would be to treat the dog as a person, instead of like an animal. Even though the animal is born with certain characteristics, behaviors, and instincts that are unchangeable, they are still able to listen to directions, and like humans, be conditioned to react to stimuli in a different manner. Too many people look at instincts and behaviors as unchangeable aspects of a dog, but instead, they're usually just responses to a certain situation.
Instead of searching for a toy, whistle, special signal, collar, or anything else along those lines, start searching for the reason the dog is doing what they're doing, then start looking at what your response is to that cause.
For instance, if a dog jumps up on you, they're doing it because they want attention. Too many dog owners just don't think about it that way. Then, look at how that action is rewarded. Is the dog rewarded with more attention, reinforcing the action? I would be willing to bet it is. Instead, bring the dog down (or let them come down themselves), then give them attention after they are down. In no time, the dog will stop jumping up.
