"We sure are learning a lot in obedience class!" says Pepper and Darcy. Socializing is an integral part of your dog's maturation process. As your dog learns to communicate with other dogs it opens up a new level of communication with you. All you have to do is learn how to speak dog!
Now, this is what obedience classes should be all about! Who cares about sit and stay?

Let’s get back to basics. Many years ago the family dog ate what the family had for dinner. At that time grains were grown in better soil, the use of antibiotics was minimal, hormone injections were unheard of, over use of preservatives wasn’t an issue, therefore, food was much healthier and so were our dogs!!!
Today’s dog food is made of the bottom of the barrel scraps that are swept off the floor in the rendering plant. These “meats” ( I use the terms very loosely) combined with chemical flavoring, dyes, fillers, salt, and chemical preservatives doesn’t make a very healthy diet. This is what the dog food sold in grocery stores is made of. The equivalent of this for humans would be to eat from fast food restaurants daily with out any other nutrition! Many of you may eat fast food, but most of you don’t eat it every day!
Poor diet, combined with over use of chemical flea and tick control, and over vaccinating promotes very unhealthy dogs. This is why we are seeing so much cancer and other serious illnesses in our beloved furry friends.
Why a natural diet? Why wouldn’t you want to make your best friend as healthy as he can be for as long as you can?
The answer to #6 is YES!!!!!!
Walking
Paths
Those humans think a hot tub is good. They should try this!!
While attached to long lines your dog can enjoy a romp through the fields, take a swim in the pond, wade in the stream, hike down the Finger Lakes hiking trail, or go cross country skiing in the winter. Your dog won’t want to miss out on these outdoor adventures!
While out hiking the trails I decide to try one of the natural mud baths offered at the "Wag"Side Inn. Do you think it makes me look younger?
No it's not Zues and Apollo from Magnum PI. It's Bracken and Honus, our dogs, enjoying a portion of our non-fenced yard.
