Hello,
Been a long time since we posted on here been really busy. Wanted to talk about a great program we have been part of for almost a year called paws in prison, we work with kill shelters and no-kill we take dogs who are going on a list to be put down and assess them if they pass the group/shelter gets them to there vet to get a check up and fixed, then they go into the prison where the dogs are placed with a two man team. For eight weeks we go out once a week and work with the inmates and dogs working on basic, Akc cgc and tricks the dogs photos are placed online and on Facebook where you can look and adopt these great dogs on the 8th week the handlers put on a demo for everyone who has come out to pick up there dogs. It's a happy/sad day as these dogs live with the inmate handlers 24/7 plus 54 other inmates. You can say the dogs are very well loved. Yes these inmates love these dogs so much and it shows in the hard work they do. Your asking the state pays for this no it's all done by donations this program needs to be in every unit in every state!!! The impact is so great. So if anyone reading this wants to donate please contact us we take food treats toys blankets etc even money. Thank you

Should play include mouthing?
Hello,
Want to touch base on this topic tonight. When you play with your puppy or adult dog is it good play? Or is it rough play? Your asking why would it matter its only a dog why yes it is a dog but what kind of behavior are you placing in its mind? Ask yourself this do I want a dog that will be good when my family comes over and brings there kids? Or do I want a little brat when the kids are playing the dog thinks its ok to bite and then what happens? You have family that is mad at you plus your dog maybe label vicious do you really want that? I didn't think so, so why start always play nice and when it gets rough stop and do something else.
Thank you

Holidays Coming
Hello,
Well with the holidays coming up fast we should take a moment to think about our pets and what we may need to do about them around all the holiday decor, you know that some decor/plants will kill your pets as will human food so its best to always do some looking before you place that plant on the floor where your dog or cat can get to it. and remember that a dog will get into the trash when you throw that turkey away and they can choke on the bones. so take it out to the trash and never feed your pet pie its not good for them sugar can make them sick and in some cases kill them.

Can Dogs Read?
Hello,
Its been awhile since my last post what we want to write about today is about can dogs read? or is it a training trick? well we ordered a packed of flash cards for our Aussie Hopi and I took out a few just too see what she would do and by god she did what the card said I.E. SIT she walked up and sat one card said DOWN she came up and downed and so on I think its all based on your dog and the time and training you put into them and with the reading well we are not going to say but keep watching for and update with photos of Hopi and her signs.

How to Keep a Pup Down When it gets injuried
Hello,
today's Topic is from a friend who's Aussie Pup got hurt Thanks for the topic Julie Hope Bailey Feels better soon.
What do you do when you have a pup who loves to run and play? but gets hurt? ok how about a hurt paw and is limping what do you do to keep them down and clam? well its hard to do that when they are young and want to go out and play. do you put them in a crate? you can but they will lick at the wound and that can make it worse so what do you do? well I was sitting here thinking about that after I got the text from Julie and this is what I came up with.
1. give the pup a nice hard chew bone or toy you can freeze it this will help take there mind off of the paw for a little while anyway. we use a product called soother spray or cream its made for animals and takes the pain away.
2, you can use a calming pill that you can get over the counter like at all pet they do work and it helps keep them clam and relaxed but not to the point they are out of it.
3. when they have to go outside for a potty break take them out on leash so they don't try and run off and check the paw for dirt and clean as needed.
4. if it doesn't get better soon call your vet for help sometimes they pick up stuff like we do they get splinters in there pads or a small cut.
we hope that Hopis little sister feels better soon so they can go play again

Hello,
The Post today is going to be about two friends Hopi & Bailey two female Australian Shepherds who are 3 months apart in age but you couldn't tell at all you would think there were litter mates sisters at that and that's what we call them they are both red but Hopi is a red-tri. they are great together running playing and even knocking people off there feet haha, when bailey first meet Hopi she ran didn't want anything to do with her but after about 15 mins they were best buds now you cant ask either one of them the others name with out them getting happy and doing the Aussie wiggle. well today Hopi went to baileys house to show her how to play with the agility equipment that was built for bailey and man they had tons of fun and it didn't take bailey long before she was tipping the teeter and going though the weave poles but the tunnel was another story bailey thought it was a nice shady place to go lay down and take a nap lol but once she saw Hopi again run though so did bailey i think the AKC best watch out there's two young Aussie's who will be taking that sport by storm and its the team of Hopi & Bailey the two red Aussie sisters .
