Choosing a Puppy
03/17/2006
Cesar Millan has a special gift and sometimes it's almost like he is part dog himself. I suppose he knows dogs so well because he grew up with so many of them. I've never seen or heard of anyone like this man in my entire life and I would love to meet him and talk to him. I wonder if there are others like him???

Thank you Sandra for this detailed reminder for all would -be dog owners. This information is vital to the health and well being of every dog and dog owner.
Please also remember to try and adopt a pet from your local animal shelter, and NEVER buy a dog from a pet shop. Usually those puppies (and kittens and birds, etc.) come from puppy mills and the dogs are not treated well and many times are very ill when they are sold. IT's not fair to the puppy, or it's mom to be made to keep breeding for profit sake for an evil puppy mill owner. There are far too many loving dogs in shelters that need a good home. They usually have a much better temperment as well.
Last, to add one more comment to Sandra's, some dogs, like the Scottish terriers are bred to dig, so they will dig lots and lots of holes in your yard to look for prey, and also to make a cool place to sleep. So please, if you don't want a digger, find out what breed would be best for your needs (and the dog's).
Thanks all for listening.

Check out Cesar Millan, "The Dog Whisperer" on the National Geographic Channel. He is a very gifted dog trainer who also ascribes to the theory that dogs are dogs and not furry little people. You, the owner, must take the lead and be the alpha dog in the pack. If you don't take the lead, then the dog will step to the plate, assume the alpha role.....and become a behavior problem. This is a terrific show that has provided me with some great tips for dealilng with my two rescue guys.
