provide you with additional information for selecting, training, and having fun
with your dog.
Choosing The Perfect Dog
Visit this web site for things to consider when choosing your fine
furry friend. Topics covered include:
- Energy level
- Grooming

What Breed Is Best For Me?
This site allows you to do a step-by-step question and answer about the
characteristics and lifestyle that are important to you. Based on your
answers, it will display breeds that best suite your lifestyle and allows you
to compare different breeds.
The site also has information on behavior problems, housebreaking, and
other issues.
Adopting
A Shelter Dog
Animal shelters have many wonderful purebred and mixed breed dogs (why
settle for one breed when you can get two or more in the same package?) available
for adoption. But how do you choose the right one and not "the
hound from hell"? Read Sue Sternberg's
"Guide to Choosing Your Next Dog From the Shelter." It is
available for purchase from her web site for $10, or ask one of our trainers
to borrow a copy.
What
Every Dog Owner Needs to Know About Grooming
There are currently no laws governing the grooming profession--anyone can
become a groomer or open a grooming shop with little or no training.
"What Every Dog Owner Needs to Know About Grooming" was written by a
groomer to enable the concerned dog owner to find a well-trained, qualified
groomer. Topics include: Interviewing a potential groomer--the right questions
to ask to determine a groomer's proficiency; what to look for when inspecting
a grooming shop; and practicing medicine without a license--the services a
groomer may not perform. Book is $15 via this web site.
Is Your Dog A Therapist?
Furry Friends is a non-profit volunteer organization that has its members
and their four-legged companions visit hospitals, convalescent homes, and
children's centers. A rewarding experience for you and your
dog.
