Thank you for all of the wonderful feedback on last months e-newsletter.
Please keep the suggestions coming. I hope to provide you with educational,
yet fun and user-friendly information for you to implement in your daily
life, and to help make your relationship with your dog stronger and more
positive.
I also wanted to share the good news - Sadie from Safe Harbor, who was
featured last month, was adopted to a loving forever home, and Dogmata raised $3700 for Maxfund at Yappy Hour on May 19th!
Happy Training!

Is Your Dog Afraid of Thunderstorms?
Every spring, I get an increase in phone calls from dog owners whose dogs are terrified during thunderstorms. They either pace continually, pant heavily, whine, engage in mild to severe destruction, and/or try to escape the backyard, kennel or house. This is known as thunderstorm phobia- learn how to treat it.
The Correction Dilemma
Many of us get frustrated with our dog and think the dog is misbehaving on purpose 'to get back at me'. Nothing could be further from the truth, and here's why. |
What Dog Food Is Right For Your Dog?
Did you know the food you feed Fido may be the root of his high energy, lackluster coat, and cause of other health problems? Our mothers always told us we are what we eat – Fido is no different. |
Starting next month I will answer 1-2 questions from readers in my e-newsletter regarding behavioral issues with their dogs or cats. Please e-mail me with your questions. kari@wagandtrain.com |
 When Anne and John Polich took Lil’ Bit home with them she was scared of everyone and everything – even other dogs. It’s not surprising since the shelter said there was a good chance she was a Hurricane Katrina ‘evacuee’.
Check out how Lil’ Bit conquered her fears.
Tell us your success stories!
