Winter 2013 Basic Obedience Graduates

db_winter_basic_grads_2Congratulations to my latest group of graduates from the Thursday night basic obedience class at Wag Club. Everyone did a fantastic job, and passed the course with flying colors. I’m beaming with pride!

The SATO Project

I have recently been doing some work with a great organization called The SATO Project. The SATO Project rescues stray dogs from the beaches of Puerto Rico, provides them with veterinary care and vaccines, and flys them to NYC to be enrolled in their foster service until they find permanent homes. I have been providing behavioral consultation for their fosters and permanent caretakers including a written protocol that was beautifully designed by Sophie Gamand of The SATO Project (also of Striking Paws). This is a great organization run by dedicated and determined folks whom have become personal friends. For more info on adopting, fostering or donating please follow this link:

All donations are tax deductible. I can also say first hand that the dogs available through The SATO Project are incredible animals! Please check out The SATO Project’s “Mission Possible” video, about the day The SATO Project transported 19 dogs in one single commercial flight. Read more about it here.

Dogs and Babies: Preparing Your Dog For Your New Born

Congratulations! You’re going to be a parent! You’ve got the crib and the play mat and your mom agreed to come help out a few days a week. You’ve scoped daycares and downloaded three different “what to expect” books to your Nook. The shower was a success, your friends are eager and your family is supportive. There’s only one member of the household unaware that life’s about to turn upside down: your dog.
